## Review summary

User feedback is mixed: many praise the news coverage and informative content, but persistent issues after updates—such as opening in a browser, startup failures, and inconsistent language behavior—greatly diminish usability. Several reviews long for the old version and better in-app experience.

- Delivers comprehensive, up-to-date news headlines and live updates.
- Informative content with generally good user experience when the app works.
- Some users value Urdu news availability and multi-language options.

### Cons

- App frequently opens in a browser/web view instead of staying within the app, hurting usability.
- Post-update issues include the app not starting or having loading/launch problems.
- Language behavior is inconsistent, with automatic language changes or forced English causing confusion.
- Users feel the new version is worse than the old one and want the prior version back.
- Overall layout and navigation feel poor after updates, making it harder to use.
