5/5News flash
While the news is coming on why the channel number or other message keep on flashing on the screen, we cannot concentrate on the reporting. Same with Zee and other news channel if causes nuisance You can have a running text in the bottom instead Food for thought Thanks

5/5Punjab 18 news
I started reading news from this source,really so good coverage and simple language. Thanks to the publisher and editors. I wish maximum readers should read this Punjab 18 news.

2/5Good content, useless Interface
1) I basically use the app to view live TV. The recent update where they have done away with full screen video/live TV is definitely a step backward. 2) If I just switch the app to read a notification etc and come back almost instantly it still wants to show an ad for minimum 5 seconds (that too after a pause) and hence a forced gap of close to 10 seconds. 3) come up with a Ipad app! But I guess it's too much to ask looking at the way they have worked with the iPhone app.

5/5Informative
Too helpful in my opinion!!

1/5All unwanted notifications with no filters
You'll end up getting 100 notifications a day with this app as there are no filters which you can tailor to get notifications for. When you click on the notifications, it won't take you to the real article itself. Waste of time
