## Review summary

Mostly positive notes praise accurate, international and South Asia news coverage and usefulness for staying informed. However, recurring complaints center on a disruptive ad experience, stability issues after updates, and a degraded UI/UX that feels like a messy web view with confusing navigation. Some reviewers also accuse the app of bias, and several report broken in-app functions (sharing, login) and features like auto-playing audio or live streams not working. Overall, strong content value but significant usability and performance problems.
