Punjab Kesari is a leading Hindi-language newspaper published from many states in north India. With over three million daily readership, the publication has now arrived on Windows Phone.
The beautifully designed app for Windows Phone 8 devices brings you real time news on national and international affairs, sports, entertainment, and religion. The app also features videos and photo galleries for a broad multimedia offering.
There’s a small bug though. If you already have 15 apps allowed to run in the background on your device (the Windows Phone limit for background tasks), the app throws an error - BNS Error: The maximum number of ScheduledActions of this type have already been added. You can hit OK to continue, and it’s not a showstopper but I’m hoping it’s taken care of in the next update.
The Punjab Kesari app, developed by Converse New Media, has a clean, modern user interface, and if you read Punjabi Kesari or other Hindi newspapers in print or online, this is a must download. Grab it free from the Windows Phone Store, while we raise a toast to the year where many marquee apps arrived on Windows Phone in India.
Here’s a year-end bonus: If you prefer to read in Punjabi/Gurumukhi, you can download the official app for Jagbani, the Punjabi-language newspaper from the same group that publishes Punjab Kesari. It has the same neat user experience, and is a treat for Punjabis across the globe.
