User Reviews

User reviews praise The Hindu’s journalism and loyal subscriber base, but repeatedly cite major app problems: frequent crashes, paywalls blocking content for subscribers, and poor iPad/tablet optimization. Additional recurring issues include notification mishandling and overall performance/UX problems such as poor scrolling and intrusive ads.

Pros

High-quality, trusted journalism and news coverage.
Loyal readership with positive sentiment toward The Hindu and its journalism.
Occasional positive feedback on updates and overall news delivery.

Cons

Frequent app crashes, including crashes when opening articles or tapping links.
Premium content paywalls remain blocking articles even for subscribers.
Poor iPad/tablet optimization; iPhone-style UI on iPad and not filling the screen.
Notification issues: lack of granular control and tapping notifications opens the home screen instead of the article.
General performance problems: bad scrolling, intrusive ads, and updates that worsen usability.

Recent reviews

The Hindu does a very good job of reportage. I think they also have reasonably measured editorial content. However, from a UX perspective, there are a lot issues mostly around premium content needing additional authentication, a lack of scaling based on screen size, and upselling subscriptions to paying users.
