The Times of India - News App 12+

Improve your App

Being a reputed newspaper, do you guys not check your own App ??
First of all , your App has multiple same headings , yes , multiple !
Secondly , I don’t know weather your journalist get paid a fixed salary or paid by the length of the article … coz , it seems that the content has the same theme repeated over and over again . Just check your article of today … Prime Minister Modi was against printing 2000 rupee mote … see how many times in that shot topic , the same thing has been repeated … … tell your journalists to grow up from the school level journalism !!!

Greedy for ADS

TOI is the greediest app I feel. They want to capitalize on making money o the Lahr that will get the most number of hits like news updates on COVID. Right on top of the page they will flash as with sometimes not able to close the ad by cliCLKNG AD button. I see other reviews with developers responding asking for “scree shot of ad and all”. What is wrong with you developers asking for snapshot from every person ? Are we doing QA for you or you rolled out a untested product ? Especially in such difficult times they want to mint money by flashing ads all over. I just wish there was a better way to catch up on news from India. The Times Group has lost all its morals and values it used to be in 80’s and 90’s. Now all is about money and not about news. The other day they flashed Randhir Kapoor COVID and in hospital news as top headlines. WHAT is WRONG WITH YOUR NEWS SENSE ?

They seemed to have crossed all the limits with showing an ad with animation and sound while reading an article or scrolling through the news. Even without clicking the ad. God save TOI. Been reading it since 30 years now but their greed keeps going up
And up and journalism keeps going down. It has become a film fare magazine with anything and everything about Bollywood and tv celebrities and their kids. And now ads popping out anytime. Terrible.

Too Many Ads now

The app used to be good and my prime app for Indian news.. however off late it has too many ads on iOS version.. sometimes cover the full screen and sometimes part of the screen and the X button does not work to remove the ad overimposed window to read the news underneath it... Sorry, will have to uninstall now.. I downloaded it to see the news and not struggle with Ad windows..👋👋👋 and after taking TOI + subscription, each and every link of news takes 10-15 seconds to load!!!.. if I sign out of TOI+ , the same news links load up instantly.. reported this issue to the helpdesk and also shared screen recording of the same.... THEY CASUALLY RESPONDED TO JUST UPDATE THE APP!! When I reverted back that this problem is persisting in both the old as well as current version and is linked to TOI+ login.. still NO action taken for over a month citing COVID delays !!!😮😮
