Ratings and reviews

This app used to be one of the best platforms for Urdu poetry. It was simple, smooth, and you could easily find any poetry you were looking for. I had saved many of my favorite poems in it. However, from the past month, the app has become extremely frustrating. It doesn’t open properly it just keeps loading and searching without showing anything. After trying multiple times, it may open, but the experience is no longer smooth and has become unnecessarily complicated. app is even opening

it just breaks my heart what you have done with the interface and the app, whenever I want to go read on the app I open it up and irritatedly close it, the earlier one was nice functional, you cannot find the list of the authors the topics on which you want to read,now you have to know who what to read, you can explore through the themes,earlier it was easy to access all things which one wanted, now it's working to repulse the reader, at least me.

The app is great. A great collection of legendary urdu poetry. I love the feature where you can just click on the word to get the dictionary meaning. It has a glitch though. When you add a particular poem to favourites on the app, it doesnt show in favourites. However, if you're using the browser, it shows. Other than that, simply marvelous.
