User Reviews

Users praise the app for its improved design and overall quality, plus some features like the map and read-aloud. However, reliability and usability issues are common: slow daily downloads, crashes when opening articles, news not loading, and frustrating text rendering in Arabic. A few also want to delete downloaded editions and have up-to-date content. Overall sentiment is positive but marred by stability and usability concerns.

Pros

Beautiful, improved design and quality compared with the old version.
Overall positive reception; multiple users would recommend the app.
Interactive map feature is useful.
Text-to-speech (read-aloud) capability praised.

Cons

Crashes or freezes when opening articles.
Daily edition downloads are very slow after the latest upgrade.
News content won't open/read; only headlines are visible.
Arabic text rendering issues (RTL display, missing initial characters, line truncation).
Inability to delete downloaded editions.

للأسف خانة البحث في التطبيق لا تعمل نهائياً ومنذ زمن -مثال أضع أسم الكاتب ثم اضغط على بحث ثم صفحة فارغة .

البرنامج صراحة جميل والتطوير مقارنة بالقديم رائع ويشكر القائمون عليه، هناك بعض التحديات نتمنى حلها: 1- تحميل العدد اليومي أصبح بطيئاً جدا مع كوّن النت عندي سريع جداً ٤٠ ميقا 2- أثناء التحميل وانطفئت الشاشة يعلق التحميل ويجب إغلاق البرنامج وإعادة التحميل 3- لا يوجد خيار لحذف الأعداد التي سبق تحميلها بخلاف البرنامج القديم شاكرين ومقدرين جهودكم

I have been using the App for several years. After the latest upgrade, downloading the daily newspaper has become extremely slow although I have a very fast internet. Furthermore, the new design makes it easy to hit the upper screen by mistake and you are returned to page 1. Immediate improvement is need to the app
