| 2024-11-15 |  | | Download / Mail pdfs. We should have an option in the app to download the article in pdf form, just like the one on the website. Or there should be an option where the pdf copy can be mailed directly instead of downloading/saving it in the app. |
| 2024-10-21 |  | | Please add better audio listening experience. Now NOA is promoted and I'd need to pay also it to have add free experience. Double charge, no professional! |
| 2024-10-05 |  | | Lack of offline mode for the saved articles is a major handicap and missing feature. no ability to save articles for reading during flight... |
| 2024-06-16 |  | | Gesture navigation isn't supported. This app feels like a lazy iOS port where you have to figure out the app specific navigation rather than common Android methods. |
| 2024-06-04 |  | | App functions. It's pretty. It's missing features. It really needs an offline mode, what if I want to read articles while I'm on a flight? It would also be great, nearly critical, to have or he compatible with an AI screen reader. As I've used the app more, these lack of features has forced me to downgrade my rating. It'd be nice to categorized saved articles. An ai narrator feature would be great to listen to articles while driving. |
| 2024-02-03 |  | | What has happened?! I have a premium subscription but can't use the new app at all. No issues until the update but now I get 'subscription not found. It's a badly badly designed UI (you have to scroll across rather than down for some things), pushed to select things that interest me just to get notifications, olno previous issues and so on. It's really poor. Might as well use the mobile webpage so what's the point of the app? |
| 2024-01-17 |  | | Simply, I cannot log in, though I can read it on the web with the same credentiala. One of the worst apps I've even experienced. LE: it is difficult to rate this garbage because I cannot actually log in most of the time. It is a waste of time. I could log in using the web, but the app is appalling. I would be ashamed to be the one who owns this app, especially that the situation is at least one year old. I did clean the cache, reinstalled the app, nothing! |
| 2023-07-07 |  | | This app is awful, considering the prestige of the organisation that is behind it. It's pretty much unusable and clunky. It now seems to have got worse as the notifications used to take you to the article, and now they just take you to the home screen and you have to scroll to find the article. Very poor. |
| 2022-10-16 |  | | While you can save articles from each issue, it often forgets where you are if you stop reading an article halfway through and come back a few days later. The search functionality is very poor, and the same search phrases on Web will yield far more results (including from sister articles like Aspire). There is also no way to "bookmark" or save these aspire articles in the app (though you can do so online). HBR needs to look at the user experience on Web and replicate it in their app journeys |
| 2022-06-29 |  | | App UI needs work on Android. The colour schemes make it really hard to read the tabs on top. I couldn't even tell which one is active. It feels like the app is just a wrapper around an embedded browser. This means when you click on share to a social medium like LinkedIn, it doesn't open the LinkedIn app where you are already logged in, instead it forces you to log into it again! Kills the user experience. And when you hit back from there, you don't go back to the article you were reading :( |
