User Reviews

Users largely praise Khaleej Times for fast UAE breaking news and the overall quality of content, noting it as a trusted, longstanding news source. However, repeated issues across reviews include frequent crashes and articles failing to load, especially after updates; a major UX regression that makes navigation cumbersome (loss of swipe, missing dark mode, more taps); and persistent problems with sharing articles and notifications. Fixing these bugs and restoring convenient navigation would improve the experience while preserving the app's strengths in timely news delivery.

Pros

Fast delivery of breaking UAE news.
Overall positive app experience with reviews describing it as good/excellent.
Trusted, long-standing Khaleej Times brand.
Credible and timely news content.

Cons

Frequent crashes and loading failures; articles won't open and memory usage is high.
Usability regression after updates: hard navigation, removal of swipe, lack of dark mode, and more taps.
Sharing issues to WhatsApp and other apps, plus inconsistent notifications.
