Ratings and reviews

Very good collection of the poetry and commendable effort in putting it all together. On feedback...Site is slow. Sometime takes lot of time to load. Hindi usage has been wrong at many places and I have asked it to be corrected. But no one seems to be listening. "मेरा"को हर जगह "मिरा" लिखा है जो गलत है

It is useful, interesting, well researched app... can't do without it ! I read a little daily... Learn new words get acquainted with new Shayar! Rekhta has enriched my life. Recently, however, I've been having trouble with the app... It needs to be frequently uninstalled and then reinstalled in order to update the content ... This is frustrating 🤬. Please do something about it! It's boring to be faced with the same 5 shairs and 'word of the day' day after day!

This app is really a good one but one thing that I wanted to mention is that there isn't any PC app even there are many platforms available there to be used for uploading a PC version like Microsoft store and the apps store. If it get uploaded there I hope you will get more users out there for launching a desktop version and me as a constant user 😜...
