User Reviews

Summary: The Vikatan app is praised for its pleasant reading experience, audio support, consolidated access to Vikatan magazines, and helpful support. Recurrent issues center on stability and performance (apps not opening) and a buggy UI/UX, plus stale news with insufficient updates on the home page. Users also seek more content (e.g., business ideas) and features like frequent news updates and calendar integration. Overall, content value and accessibility are strong, but reliability and freshness require improvement.

Pros

Excellent and very good overall user experience.
Audio format support for reading.
All Vikatan magazines available in one place for easy access.
Responsive customer support that resolved booting issues.
Free stories and strong content offerings.

Cons

App stability issues; not opening / booting problems.
Buggy UI/UX leading to poor navigation.
Content freshness gaps; home page shows the same news for long periods.
Requests for more features (daily/hourly updates, calendar integration) not yet available.
