User Reviews

Reviews are sharply divided. Some users praise the app as a great, reliable, honest magazine that speaks the truth, and they value its full archive search. Many others call it biased, propagandistic, or fake news, and some accuse it of Hinduphobia. Several users describe the interface as clunky and dated, with text that does not wrap and PDF-style zooming. Others are confused by the name, which is shared with an unrelated music app and an Indian news portal.
