Recent reviews

Updated review: 8-JAN-25 Overhauled app is much better. Rating improved from 2 to 4. Scope of improvement in categorising and detailed reporting. In this AI age, may be detailed reports of shows can also be provided. Past review: News stories does not load. Just headlines at Many sections. No written or visual news to read. App needs lot of work. No sections to reach various shows conducted by news channel. Poor app. Just meant to see live news it seems.

Cannot exit the app. When I press nack button to exit the app or use swipe gesture to exit all. This app is supposed to give a exit prompt but instead it won't allow you to exit the app user is forced ko press home button or throw it in background eat my ram and battery. Like a virus it stay without exiting.
