Maharashtra Times-Marathi News 12+

Very buggy app

The app takes hours to load the news or the article. Percentage of advertisements is much higher. Some advertisements can’t be closed unless watched.
Improve the app or just take it back.
Secondly, in remarks very abusing language is used to write the reviews. Why MT can’t control it?

Now next idea to deter readers from reading is to flash an advertisement which have no ‘shut off’ button. Either you need to keep watching the ad or close the app.

Hi Arvind, we are extremely sorry for the inconvenience. To help you with this, we have shared the feedback with our team. We will do our best to give you a pleasant experience with the app. For more, you can contact us at mtappfeedback@timesinternet.in.

Deteriorating quality

After the update, it seems like the ads have taken primary positions replacing the news.
Anyway in past few days the content has also deteriorated. The language has worsened. There is no proof reading, content is blindly (or possibly mechanically) translated from English/Hindi without even checking the basic meaning.
Doesn’t really feel like we are reading the great ‘MaTa’. It’s like any other cheap media which keeps running behind fake news / sensationalism.
This is more so about the app, the print version much better and still has maintained some quality.

Hi Manas, to hear such feedback is very upsetting and is certainly not the impression we want you to have of us. It would be helpful if you can share a screenshot of an article that has mistakes in it. Give us an opportunity to put things right by sharing details. We are reachable at mtappfeedback@timesinternet.in. Thanks, Maharashtra Times

New UI is just very poor

Using MaTa app from almost last 6 to 7 years.
Seems that MaTa wants us to uninstall the app and look for something else.
Advertisements have taken over from content and less important news have been given more Important than actual news. e.g People who read Marathi news paper are definitely very much less interested in relationship and electronics news (where iphone prices dropped news appears many times, which is justified by saying you can use credit card) than actual news which we see in print version.
News are not loading many times even on wifi.
We have long left the expectations of proof reading but day by day it is getting worse.
We expect the great MaTa to be back with full of its richness and just does not follow the cheap local media apps which just do not have quality.
