The upgraded app is pretty bad. Earlier version, in the magazines section, Thumbnail showed full page and now it is only half and can’t see what’s the content! Download is faster, but can’t delete... earlier, by pressing the thumbnail, we get delete option... now you press thumbnail (half visible), gets out of the app. Also, there is a ‘swipe up’ at bottom, and if swipe up, gets out of the app.... looks like half baked product!!! did not expect from high quality brand like Vikatan

I used this app 10 years back. It was crap. Now it is so good if I compare. Expecting to take up my review and address it positively. Hope so it shouldn’t take time. App has audio play of the content, which I loved it; but Issue is, audio don’t have speed settings. Usually I run audio items in 2x speed and reduce my time consumption to finish d content, as am on drive mostly. Hope for this improvement soon.

Have been using Vikatan app for more than a year now and have even extended my subscription for another couple of years. This has been my go to app for all the news I’m interested in. And frankly, their e-magazine feature is just icing on the cake. Having said that, I’d still request the developer to have a better organisation or navigation within the app. More importantly, the support for landscape in iPad isn’t there - so I had simply deleted the app in my 12.9 iPad Pro (docked on keyboard) and stick to the website for now. Deducted a star only for that.

One of the best Tamil apps in the store today . It is seamless enough and so wonderfully user friendly that my mother who just started using mobile phones has no problems moving about and using their content . It’s user interface is superior than some of the most read Indian news apps . When you are paid customer, you can download the magazines and read them without glitches .
