I have a paid subscription for all access pass, but I am unable to access the premium articles on the mobile app despite my subscription being active till 11 January 2027. When I called the customer care number, the attendant of my call said that their IT team is working on it to resolve the same but the person failed to mention a date when the problem would be fixed. I have been trying since then(last 3 days) but it seems the IT team has not fixed the glitch till now.

Hi, The Hindu team, the app is too badly designed there is not even a search button to search for articles and navigation is extremely hard. I see only half the articles showing up from the digital version. I moved to this app only after digital version stopped now fitting in a page and it's now too hard to read. Please rectify these for making our lives easier

I have had a terrible experience with this app. Whenever I try to open the app by clicking any notification received from the Hindu, the app opens, then freezes & then closes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times, but to no avail. I had reported this issue to app support on the 24th of October, that is more than a month back. I was advised that the issue will be resolved with the next update. I have no idea when that update will happen as my subsequent mails have gone unanswered.
