I have been reading IE for 18 yrs and it easily has the best content in all newspapers. But their sales/ Ad team keeps ruining the e-reading experience and the IE brand.The ads cover the bottom part of the screen and are flashy banner ads which change every few seconds- such ads are fine when you are browsing on the internet (even on browsers these are now out of fashion) but very distracting when you are on one page and trying to concentrate on an article. And to make it worse there is no option to cross out the ad and make it disappear (a must have). The earlier version of the app had full page ads!! It is now impossible to READ on the app- its only good enough for a few seconds of BROWSING.This seems to be a lazy quick fix approach to make some ad revenue- usually employed by shady websites but not what you expect from a major institution like IE. IE needs to employ some good UX designers to improve the experience. There are very tasteful and non intrusive ways of mobile advertising like in Flipboard app or simple ads like in your print edition. Also I would personally rather pay for a ad free version since we do not get a daily print edition in the US.Please don't kill the golden goose.

Indian Express has restored my faith in (unbiased) journalism. I was deeply disappointed by the sycophantic journalism of NDTV (who I had previously held in higher esteem).Indian Express on the other hand demonstrates the courage to report news without undercurrents of political or other affiliations. Investigative journalism, presenting thoughts and ideas not colored by personal affiliations, and definitely not being afraid to be critical of the powerful. Today Indian Express seems to be the only popular mainstream newspaper that lives up to the responsibilities of the fourth estate.The app itself offers a good experience. The lighter tones of the backdrop, the easy navigation, all make for an easy experience. Better again than the NDTV app experience.

I’ve used the Indian Express app before, and then discontinued in 2018 since I was tired of the bugs, glitches, banner ads and issues. Downloaded and used it this year (Jan ‘21) and I was pleasantly surprised. The app has improved significantly - I’d even go so far as to say it is the best news app from a news publication in India, closely followed by the Mint app(Hindustan Times) and The Hindu. Great job Indian Express; It’s time to delete the Times of India app which is now full of ads, sensational articles, tweet reports (where they share what a celeb tweeted about some topic of the day) and hardly any “news”.

This is probably the closest one would come to a world class newspaper from India. High quality writing with an Indian point of view and maintains a balanced perspective. The language is crisp, the titles are not click-baity and treats topic with level of depth in research. And thankfully, it has none of those silly racy pictures and cheap gossip that stuffs its competitors columns.

The various headings under which the news items r grouped, have been accurately identified, thanks to the editor. I have been using this app for quite some years , but suddenly the pop -up appears telling to fill in all the details . I don’t know the reasons and the article is cut off . Pl do the needful .

The app is buggy, and needs improvements- - articles don't naturally scroll. You have to scroll up before the rest of the pages are loaded - saved articles don't load. I lost all my saved articles. I opened a ticket, and the ticket was closed without resolving the issue. I am a paid subscriber, and it's disappointing to see such lack of attention.
