Ratings and reviews

After opening any news article, there seems to be a glitch preventing users from navigating back or accessing other news stories, as it remains stuck on the initial page.

- Major UI and UX overhaul required. - Option to continue playing radio in the background after exiting the app. - Quick toggle between Malayalam and English for the same article. - Better navigation, organisation of articles. - Prominent breaking news section. - Reduce the number of notifications, eliminate repetition. - Night (inverted colour) mode.

I have been using this app since 5-6 years.With every updates it is becoming difficult for the users to experience a smooth reading. From the latest update it demands high speed internet to provide full page news to be read. When my entire Phone apps works smoothly with the then available data speed, but not Mathrubhumi. It is spoiling the mood of the day when you get to see the headlines but not the detailed news. It just opens to a blank page or says I am offline while others app works.
