About this app

Experience powerful business journalism that connects the dots with The Ken, Asia’s pioneering media publication. Read deeply reported, original stories, immersive podcasts, rich infographics, and sharp newsletters from some of the best reporters and writers in the region, to understand not just the news, but why it’s happening and what comes next.

Go ahead and subscribe to our top-rate app. You’ll love it because it lets you:

Read our stories and newsletters on the go: Browse, search, and save stories and newsletters you want to read while you’re travelling, commuting, or on that flight, even without an active internet connection.

Never encounter a paywall once you have a subscription: Paywalled publications need you to be signed in all the time on your browser. On our mobile app, just login once, and it’s there all the time. We deep-link to our mobile app in all the emails we send, so this gives you a seamless experience.

Flip through stunning visual stories about businesses: Our infographics are as rich as the stories we write. If you are short on time, you can simply flip through our infographics and get the story. It’s perfect for those occasions when you want to visually understand businesses, without having to read longform articles.

Browse and read transcripts of our widely loved podcasts: A collection of original podcasts that cover the most interesting workplaces, careers, and business trends, along with candid conversations with founders and business leaders. Charting consistently on all major podcast platforms.

Interact with other subscribers: Our community comprises some of the sharpest and most ambitious CXOs, leaders, executives, and students. Read their comments, reply to them, and join the debate. All from your phone.

In addition, subscribers can gift and unlock stories for non-subscribers, and personalise their reading experience with features such as dark mode, adjustable font sizes, and much more.

Ratings and reviews

Hey Ken team, love the content! Could you consider developing a widget for both Android and iOS? It would be great to have a quick way to tap on a running story and jump straight into it within the app. I think this feature could save us some precious time in our busy lives. Thanks a lot!

Even after paying the subscription fee the app decides to ask me to pay again and is blocking access to articles assuming I've not subscribed.... The-Ken team, please get your tech in order. Just having a fancy UI and good stories aren't enough.

While the content in the app is amazing, I have 2 feedback points: 1. Please make your images of articles clickable on LinkedIn. It's super frustrating to open comments on LinkedIn while mobile browsing 2. Users who have downloaded the app and have logged in should be able to directly go on the app from LinkedIn. Doesn't need to be a seperate CTA for those users Happy to collaborate From a friendly PM
