The Times of India App Reviews

Latest update does not allow application to launch

I had this app for many years and over the period of time the quality has deteriorated very much. It has now become more like a porn apps. Can you believe that you cant open this app in front of your kids or other people? Its supposed to be a news app not porn app. I have deleted this app and my other friends too.

The app is like viewing an adult magazine. Like a previous reviewer noted, we cannot open this app in front of the kids or other people. The app has stopped refreshing with new news stories. Im seeing the same old news for the past three days. But the picture section is getting refreshed correctly! Kudos to that! You dont want your users to miss the pictures, isnt it? Also nobody proof-reads the news stories I guess. The articles have so many spelling-mistakes, words repeated etc.

App is freezing often and doesn’t work at all. Please fix it.

Gets refreshed every few seconds and goes back to the top of the page!

With the ads taking over the music controls all the time, it’s really hard to browse the news, which is kinda why the app was developed. I understand that ads are necessary, though I’m sure something can be done to make the ads way less obtrusive.

Used to be good.. but these days its all about bollywood, half nude pics of models and irrelevant news. Takes forever to update after a ios release making it unusable for days

App has not been opening for few days not. When trying to open states loading but then crashes and closes on its own. Please fix this bug soon. And sends new updates soon.

Worst way I’ve seen ads being implemented

The app freezes and does not allow you to open any news story. Please get an update for the same!

When you check any picture on iphoneX the cancel button comes behind the battery ... do you just cant cancel it.... and finish keep looking at that photo.... for life

Such a trash app. They dupe you into clicking on ads and direct apps and other forms of advertisements through the app. Almost like a scam, there are many other better apps for Indian news coverage.

I know ads are important for a company. But displaying ad in such a way that you can not distinguish between news and ad is really crazy. And even layout of the app and design is not worth it. Uninstalled!

This news house runs on soft porn images they post. I downloaded the app to check if I can get rid of the entertainment and TV section within the app. Nope you cannot. So after you are done scrolling through advertisement filled national news you HAVE TO scroll through the entertainment sextion. This is the section in which you will see half nude picture and all click bait items. I don’t mind the section itself. Am sure that there are people who enjoy the bollywood/ TV news. But I do have problem with FORCING the user to scroll through this nonsense. The user cannot disable this section nor can they move this entertainment section to the bottom of the news feed. I will recommend users to try the Indian Express app or the NDTV app. Hindu is good but I think Indian Express and NDTV cover national news better. TOI has better interface than all other ones but forcing the semi nude entertainment sextion on users is unacceptable. Will check the app again after two months to see if there is any change. I am quite sure though there will be none.

New version is not opening with iPhone 5s

All of a sudden the app starts showing up vids of some dog food ads and on every story. Half the app is filled with semi nude people.. rubbish news channel, apple news or flipboard is a much better alternative.

Whenever I click on times of India notifications, app crashes.

I was using this app from last few years - App was good and updated quote frequently. But currently the app was bombarded with auto play ads-videos, which was annoying for the user.
