One problem I have is when reading in Dark Mode, the links in red text are not very clear as the text has low contrast with the background. Instead, the links in dark mode should be brighter for better readability. In addition, it would be convenient if the dark mode could follow the system colour mode.

The "Latest News" feature, which is the timeline-like news displayer available on the website, needs to be on the app too! It's a massive miss. Otherwise great app.

The app crashes on my device and gives errors. I am a premium subscriber. But the app still tries to connect to various advertisement and privacy invasive tracking domains, and freezes in between and closes itself. The advertisement and tracking domains are blocked on my device, but that also leads to this app not working. Out of hundreds of apps on my device, all of which are paid, only this app and Byjus gives problems, ironically both of which are the only Indian apps on my device.
