Why is there wasted space at the bottom of the screen Also would be nice to have options to increase or decrease font size Overall a good start             Black bar at the bottom of the screen harishankar

I have tried a lot of Indian news app Each one of this is filled with ads spams and not to forget biased news This app itself is very well made Loving the way they deliver the news Straight no nonsense news Keep it up The Hindu Thank God There is one news media that isn t corrupt                     Loving it Praneeth Patil

I tried to read the articles after opening the app and after that app getting crashed and many times need more improvements     App getting crashed in iPad Jagan1234

The app experience and looks are good except for the lack of tabbed format It would be helpful if the developers move the navigation index from left side to the bottom tab as most the apple applications have This not only helps in easy navigation but also moving back to the pr virus page by swiping to the left                     Tabbed format Firstname_Lastname

The app crashes immediately after opening in iPad     App crash Ashrita Nyna

Looks at all facts with colored glasses Extremely lefty Worships Columbia School of Journalism Closet supporter of Gandhi dynasty Believes in socialism and hugging killers Excellent English Readers letters are most thoughtful in India             Card carrying lefty Mohan4348

Whenever I look for bangalore under cities it crashes Please fix asap         Crashes like hell Kishore2692

Crashes badly even after trying to reinstall iOS version 8 1 1 iPad Air 2         Crashes badly on iPad Air 2 santymano

Keeps crashing on IPAd iOS 8 1 and 8 11 Also news is stale     Keeps crashing news is not current anonimus for today

Will rate when fixed     Fix imagined connectivity issue ksury

Rarely works content good when you can get to it     What a shame DrFrancois

One of the worst apps considering it comes from one of India s finest newspaper Doesn t work most of the time all it shows is a blank page most of the time else crashes totally But when it works it s good     Doesn t work most of the time Mohy's

It s say ipad is not connected Fix it     App doesn t work Falcons_eye77

Does not work It only shows connectivity issues     Bad app Hunkomukho

When all other apps work this one indicates that I have a poor connection     App indicates my wifi is not connected Soundsri

App opens to a blank page with an ad for another app by The Hindu business line Never loads past this point totally useless     Awful Neurocyclist

I haven t read a single news item on this app because it opens up and just shows a blank screen The only thigh on the screen is ad for another Hindu app what kind of lame app is this Could have at least tested to make sure basic features work Very disappointed with the app considering the high standards of publishing from Hindu     Horrible Cracked.all

The app s great but lags at times and lacks the fluid transitions like the mobile tablet website of The Hindu                 Great but laggy at times Urgjde xhgko

The app has improved substantially over the weeks Good update                     Improved substantially Goldfish1990

Extremely slow Hardly opens recent content Disappointed with my favourite Indian newspaper     Terrible Baysics

The news feed does not update at all Always a waste of time when I open the app Don t recommend it Thanks Shyam Http about me shyam visamsetty     Worst app possible News does not update Shyam Visamsetty

I am an eighth grader who likes reading the news The Hindu in my opinion is an excellent newspaper The content alone leads me to give 4 stars However the UI is too complicated and must be fixed You should try a tile approach to the interface like the AP application or CNN Likewise the app is too slow and it often crashes Please understand I am reluctant to even read the news on this app because of its poor quality On positive note though the content is superb                 Needs improvement in UI Advilbeast

It is a pain using this app If you want to save space in iPad please delete this app and look for something else     Poor design Asreejith

Keeps refreshing with a circle all the time And each time it comes up it takes a few minutes to place content on the screen Never seen an app this bad     Terrible app CNG_sj

The software people developing this app need to be fired The pages does not load at all Navigation is terrible Why does the The Hindu put out such a bad app It is better to not have an Ipad app at all rather than tarnish the reputation of the newspaper                     Worst app ever Pmannam

Please enable the select copy define feature of iOS within this app There are times when a reader like me would want to view the meaning of unknown words the iOS define is a quick and easy way to view the meaning Thanks             Minor improvements needed VRSRANGAN

Very well developed an app I am not sure what others are complaining about but I personally liked the app very much The interface is clean and simple The option to save articles is a very handy option May be the slowness experienced by others is due to the size of images being large in combination with poor connectivity Once again I have face neither as I use the app mostly connected to a WiFi connection                     The app has gotten a lot better over time JagadeeshBP

The Hindu news paper is great but the app is terrible Fails to refreash the content shows news that is 3 months old The app developers say if that happens uninstall and reinstall No other app has such a requirement Fix the app or risk exodus     Poor app rs8823

Common guys u r so good in news but pretty bad in technology Work on it before u lose your electronic viewership Keeps crashing and freezing Uninstall and reinstall is remedy but for how long before people get frustrated         Bad app Indian Gypsy

Never late than ever Works fine on ipad3                     Superb Abhu22

This app rarely manages to open Inspite of having a great news paper The Hindu is still failing to keep up with latest technology I was disappointed with their e paper and now the iPad app Have to rely on the TOI app for news     hardly opens sarath

Have it for few months Today latest news is dated 1 June Good concept to present a paper but who want same news every day I have to uninstall Better to browse The Hindu on Line I see aerating of 4 on Store where as review by user today is only 2 stars Wonder who rates on App Store     Do not install or uninstall if already done PravinBi

Annoying useless app     Utterly useless Cookemane14

The older version at least used to work Since the last update the app doesn t even load It loaded once was showing me news from two months ago How can the testing and development process be so bad that they didn t even bother to check it They are wasting their money on whoever is their developer     Ridiculous Rupin87

Waste of time please delete it and create a new one     Horrible Arrvind

First off it takes forever to load then frequently crashes After loading the website looks like has been designed bya rookie Look at other news papar apps Dinamalar has done apps is excellent as well as Indian express Suggestions for Improvements 1 Allow zoom in feature as the fonts are too small using pinch fingered 2 Scroll left or right using swipe to next section or topic     Worst news paper apps for IPad and bad user experience Mraghava

Nearly 6 Months after this app was released and after I had written a detailed review of the app I am here once again to provide my feedback This time I don t want to spend too much time with the review My comment Shame on The Hindu management and the IT team to have this app out here in the App Store 6 months and no improvement It only suggests one thing Neither the Hindu Management is using the iPad App nor any one from the management or the technical team are reading any of the review No used writing a detailed review Firstly Thanks to The Hindu for releasing the iPad App 3 Years and 4 generations after the first iPad was released the Hindu iPad App is released and I must say it was a through disappointment Being a lifetime reader of The Hindu I feel massively let down with this App given that every major Indian newspaper and media outlets having excellent apps in the App Store Wondering why did it take so long for the office of The Hindu head quartered in the IT hub of India to come up with an iPad App and that too a badly designed one Pros None other than the fact that an app is finally released Cons 1 Very poor overall layout design and ergonomics 2 App is extremely slow 3 Content take very long to load 4 Slideshow of Pictures of the day are low quality small pictures coming up in the centre of the screen The entire 10 inch real estate is not fully utilized 5 The page refreshes itself in between 6 The main home screen bar is small and not highly useful 7 Still No iPhone App I Sincerely hope that The Hindu team is listening and would take the right steps towards improvising the quality of this App to provide readers across the globe a true The Hindu experience which holds the gold standards in journalism quality of contents and news reporting     Disappointment TMax76

It neves opens and always too slow Don t know what the people are being paid for It s not even one percent matching for TOI app     Worst indian news app ever Boregowda

Was put off by negative comments here But found the app a good one                 It s Good Raj.Rahul

Have not been able to read even the headlines so far Been 10 days after installation     Does it work Raajzhere

Cannot believe such great news paper still is not doing anything about this app Utterly useless app     pathetic Rugbrain342

I quite didn t expect The Hindu to be running something as a part of it which would be this bad This app hardly loads up anything quickly even if you are on the fastest Internet connection Also the tablet based browsing through the safari page is not fine too The desktop version and the mobile versions of the portal are the best     Extremely Slow RC8319

Was ok a month back but has become very slow and seldom loads properly Even after its loads it s takes forever to browse other pages needs some serious upgrade     Poor app Jb1324

Didn t expect The Hindu will have such a bad application unbelievable The Hindu s overall quality is going down     Application not loading Rkarthik

Homepage won t load time to delete this app     Still broken KingKong006

Agree with the other reviewers And what happened to all the cities They ve all disappeared from the cities menu I also don t see why we don t have any of the Hindu s arts coverage     Was bad now worse Michael_Steinberg

For a news organization this reputed this app is a disgrace It s not just getting good news it should also be presented well The app s design is bad it loads slowly even after today s update Come on guys she ll some money and outsource the contract to a better company to write your apps         Very slow 1soma

Takes looooong time to refresh content no improvement in response time even after update     Poorly designed app Evernote-user
