international/ World Category Should be Included
It’s good, but in the category section international or World and Asia and other categories should be included for easy navigation and reading. Thank you so much.
Can’t copy words
You can’t copy any words from the article
Dictionary
pls try to add the dictionary feature on the app, like the web version where by keep pressing a word or phrase we get the meaning of that word.It is badly needed.
Good
It's a good app bt lately jst keeps crashing. Need to fix bugs I guess
Issue on performance
This newly developed app is better than previous version. But it is not performing well . We expect smooth swipe
Best Format
Top News and Today - these two bars deserve a 5 rating. Concise and Effective Representation. Also request never to change this outfit. With thanks…….
Requires ameliorating!
Some crucial suggestions: Update your iOS app so that we can easily switch to dark mode from the settings of the app rather than depending on our holistic iOS dark mode. And kindly bring back the option to select any word and search for the meaning/thesaurus on the internet like before. After your new update we can only select and copy the word but no option to look up for the definition/meaning/thesaurus. Please kindly bring that option back. Thanks.
Bug Fixing needed
Hi, first of all, thank you for this wonderful app as Highly leading newspaper. Sometimes, there are some options which do not work properly. Like, when I do check meaning of any word through look up, this app do not work, after that I need to restart this app every time. Could you please look into it?
New update crashes frequently
After updating the app, it is not working in iPhone 4 with ios 7.1.2...I can not use it anymore...
Fonts too large
The font adjustment for the iPad app is very bad. The app itself is fine but the fonts are much larger than any reader can handle. It’s an easy fix so please fix this soon.
Great app for everyday morning!
For me this app starts my day but nowadays when I clink any news it doesn’t open the whole news only the top few lines I can read. Please fix the issue.
Word selection by tap not working!
Word/ paragraph selection for look up and other functionality not working after updating! Text arrangement- line spacing is to much! I am going to delete this app! I was using this app since it launched.
Search option
Couldn’t find it.
Update please
I am a frequent user of this app. The user interface is very good but when it comes to read any particular news it become almost impossible to read the bottom sections because of overlapping with another popup box of other news section. I will eagerly appreciate if a update comes in the App Store as soon as possible. Thank you very much for your patience.
Bug issues
Hello The best part of the app is, it is AD free. But few bugs during loading the page or news. But over all satisfied with the app. Of course, prothom alo and Daily Star are best in country. But wish to see more updates... Thanks
Dear the daily star,
Please update for iOS 14.
We believe in Evaly
For Providing False news and working for Daraz to destroy our country’s fastest growing e-commerce “Evaly”, You deserve a “1 STAR REVIEW” মাসুদ ভালো হয়ে যাও ।
Excellent
Very friendly . Love this app . Awaiting development of this by time .
A lot of typo and non-recognizable words
User interface is amazing, but need to make the context flawless. Text is rife with mistakes.
A fine app for news
I have one complaint on iPad. The fact that it has no landscape support. People use Bluetooth keyboards with their iPads in landscape mode. I hope that feature is added.
My First Review on App store
Excellent.
It’s not working
It should work in a way that I can use it. But it does not work. It just stopped working. When I reload it it does not show the latest news it is stuck in one page. Fix it asap.
Happy with the app ! Cheeres !!
Hi there guys, good work. Most importantly I liked the option of reading out loud. But the problem is, every time I touched the button, it starts to read article from the beginning. But sometimes we want to start from the 2nd or 3rd paragraph. So can you arrange that feature? Like we select a paragraph, then we touch the button, and it starts reading from there. It would be phenomenal if you guys add it. Thank you.
Need New Design
It needs a new user interface for ios 7
Updates appearing late
Updates in this app are appearing minutes later than the website.
Should have epaper option like prothom alo
I have been satisfied by this app. But all i want to say it would be easier if there is a epaper option like prothom alo.
Not working
Please update your app. Its not working.
app develop
The app better than before
Decent, but has lots of room for improvement and in innovation
Please fix character encoding issues. The developer should look into other popular news apps (Flipboard for example) to figure out how to give more immersive experience.
This app is so laggy!
This UI is nice. I like it but most of the time it show 'couldn’t connect to server ' and it takes too much time to loading news. I hope this app developers consider this problem and make it better.
Best News App Bangladesh
