Feedback on Updated English Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Salamoaleikom,
The tafsir for the ayat are all gathered in one ayah.
For example the tafsir ibn kathir for Al-Haqqah for ayat 1-12 is on ayah 12. Before every ayah would have it's tafsir but now I find the tafsir for Ayah 1 on ayah 12.
Could you change it back to the way it was before, where every ayah had it's on tafsir and not all the tafsir grouped up on under one ayah, Jazakallahu khair.

Assalamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah dear brothers and sisters,
We pray this message finds you in the best of health and Iman. Alhamdulillah, we recently rolled out an update to the English Tafsir Ibn Kathir in our Quran app, and while it brought many improvements, we have received valuable feedback from several of you about some issues.
First, we want to sincerely acknowledge your concerns and express our appreciation for your patience and input.
A few important points:
Tafsir Ibn Kathir in English:
As some of you may know, the only available version in English is an abridged one, as published by Darussalam. While the Arabic version is more detailed, the English translation has always been abridged. You can find the Darussalam Tafsir Ibn Kathir (English, 10 volumes) hard-copy version here or pdf from here.Additionally,
we are collaborating with Quran.com and Tarteel for Tafsir Ibn Kathir English data.
This is the same data used by many other Quran apps and websites, so rest assured that the information remains consistent across popular and reliable Quran apps.What’s improved in the update:
- More Complete Tafsir:Several passages that were previously missing are now included. For example, in Surah Al-Fatiha (1:1), many introductory details were missing before, which we’ve now added to better align with the published book. The same is applicable in multiple other places.
- Corrected Errors:We've fixed many typos and other inconsistencies to ensure a more accurate reading experience.
However, we understand the challenges some of you are facing:
- Cluttered Text and Spacing:The lack of paragraph and line spacing has made reading difficult, and we agree this needs improvement. Alhamdulillah, we are working on fixing this as we speak. Soon, you’ll notice a better formatting, in sha Allah.
- Merging Tafsirs of Multiple Ayahs:We understand that many of you prefer a verse-by-verse explanation, which was easier to follow. In the new update, the text often includes tafsir of multiple ayahs together, which reflects how it is formatted in the original Tafsir Ibn Kathir book. However, we are actively considering how we can balance this with a more user-friendly structure.
Next Steps:
Please rest assured that we are working hard to address these issues. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible experience for understanding the Qur'an, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us achieve that.
We will keep you updated as we make further improvements. Jazakumullahu khairan for your continued support and for helping us improve.
If you have any further suggestions, feel free to share them with us. Your input drives us to be better, in sha Allah.

In my opinion the older ibn kathir was more fluent than the current one. It was just more fluid: it felt smoother whilst reading.
The current one is just a big blob of text! It's so difficult to read — the structure has been ruined and the font size is small — I thought user experience was GTAF's specialty...
This was the one of the best features of the app. Please please don't ruin it.

Salam Alaykum!
I left a review on the "Play Store" regarding the update on the "Abridged" tafsir of Ibn Kathir and I was replied to come here and leave a feedback and Alhamdulillah, I'm very happy that many of my brothers and sisters have made same reviews as I have in mind for reversing the tafsirs to each ayah.
I've made comparison between the new update and the old version on my different two devices and saw that there has been some additions e.g The opening tafsir of Az-Zumar which is on ayah 4 has an Hadith of A'ishah(RA) which the old version does not have, jazakallahu khayran for that.
Lastly, I humbly request that the old Arabic FONT for the tasfirs for "quoted verses and Hadiths" be reversed too along with each "verse with its tafsir".
May Allah SWT who gives ease and success makes it easy for the team to implement these reviews, Amin. Jazakallahu khayran.

WHY did you broke it??? WHY the texts are all small now? why the brackets look bad?
There are no line breaks anymore. It is messed up. PLEASE make it back to what it was.
WHAT are you even thinking... why change it when it don't need to be changed? WHY? IT WAS PERFECT. P.E.R.F.E.C.T.
Now it is unreadable. At least add an option to choose which one we want!
