Applied for a newspaper subscription. We were having repeated issues on delivery. Got told AFTER TWO WEEKS that they could only use that agent and had no other option available. Asked for a refund as I did not want to miss newspapers after paying. Got emails promising action with nothing happening. Apparently this newspaper believes in monitoring the ethics of others and not its own. Customer support: Wrote once more. Got one more response promising action but no action. More than a month now.

Getting worse! I am experiencing an issue with this application that has persisted for one week. Previously, the application functioned excellently for several years. However, the "Word Wise" feature is now disabled, which prevents the checking or copying of vocabularies by tapping on words. This situation is highly irritating and frustrating. I question the lack of attention given to this application, especially considering that we are paying a premium amount for an enhanced experience.

I have been using The Hindu newspaper app for quite some time now, and my overall experience has been truly excellent. As someone who values credible journalism and in-depth analysis, this app has exceeded my expectations in almost every aspect. One of the best features of the app is its clean and user-friendly interface. The layout is simple yet elegant, making it easy to navigate through different sections like national news, international updates, editorials, business, sports, and more. Eve
