Poor services

Pathetic services. I subscribed to get e-ppr for one month, just to check out either it’s working or not and for a trial. Bcs if it’s not working then buying annual plan or half yearly plan will be wastage. And this e-ppr prove me right with my experience. I can’t open and access e-paper and my 100/- rs got stolen by ppr plan. Thank god I didn’t choose any other plan.
Bengali and theirs stuffs are very poor. They know everything what should be fixed what not. It’s already written in app description while you install that, ‘bugs are fixed 2 months ago’. But they are literally big zero on execution.

Do not cover good quality of news. Promote vulgarity and tik tak type news.

AS BAD AS AN APPLICATION CAN BE. Shameful!

This is an indelible blot in the name of an application. If there’s an interesting article you want to read, suddenly an advertisement will materialise out of nowhere, and you can’t close it even after the 5 second bar, as the close button doesn’t work, at least not in the iPhone. So, you have to close it and relaunch, but then you’ll not find it the second time. Combine it with gross and blatant mistakes, obvious misspellings, pathetic kind of reporting and a tendency to lick the posterior of the powerful - and this application is BAD beyond imagination. Shameful for an application, coming from the stable of Benette Coleman & Company. I’d have liked to give it a (-5) if possible.

Bogus

No extra facilities for gold subscribers. I have purchased for two years plan for Rs 499/-. But every time I have been asked for login. Remove advertising for subscribers.

Pathetic app

Your recent update has ruined the purpose of the app. Nothing is showing up, no news!

App is crashing

In the latest version no story in showing properly and when i come back to listing screen the app is crashing every single time. Check this ASAP.

Response from developer

Hi Swayambhu, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused while using the app. We'd like to know if you are still observing these issues in the app. If yes, please contact us at esappfeedback@timesinternet.in. Thanks, Eshaan

Biased reporting

Extremely biased reporting, they seem to be the mouthpiece of TMC government of West Bengal. Extremely poor news site, no standards at all.

Need to be more prompt

Very good service... news posted here reliable and authentic.... never found wrong later .... yet need to be more prompt... like TV Breaking News....

Response from developer

Hello! Debashis, this made our day 😍, thanks for the amazing review. Hope you continue to enjoy reading our app. Cheers!

Junk advertisement

I don’t know how can Apple allow app to AppStore that’s leading towards unsecured web links. The app is very poor quality. It just get publicity because it’s from Times of India. If you used translations services you can translate any English news to Bengali.

App is crashing when news link opens

App version 6.0.0 for iPhone has some bug issue. For the last couple of days, when I am tapping on individual news links, the App is crashing. Please look into this issue.

Response from developer

Apologies, Your feedback is not clear to us and we kindly request you to immediately connect with us through our feedback option from the TOI app settings tell us more about the app crash issue along with a screenshot on esappfeedback@timesinternet.in for further escalation. Thanks, Radhika

Unstable version

It is observed, most of the times app is being crashed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times this app. But problem persists so far.
Developers, please pay your attention to fix the bug and improve the performance as expected.

App is crashing since 22nd April

App is crashing since April 22...Please fix this

This app is buggy

The new version of this app is buggy. Crashes in several times

Needs to improve the app

There are so many typos in every single day. I don’t know whether they even bother checking proofs of the app version before publish. The pictures and the videos many times go out of the screen. NOT a very user friendly app.

Biased

Biased and politically motivated news only.

Buggy

While playing video on larger iPhones the close (x) button doesn’t seem to work at all at the top right corner of the screen. I have to close the app and relaunch it just to get out of the video screen.

It’s main competitor is now Jago Bangla (Party mouthpiece of TMC)

Ei Samay started with lots of expectations and excitement. It was having the potential to challenge Anandabazar. However during the course of time it’s reduced to a TMC mouthpiece. No neutrality at all. It’s heavily biased towards Didi. Editor Suman Chattopadhyay thought that Didi may save him but it was not the case. Neither Didi or Pranab da able to save him. It’s high time now for Times of India to revamp this newspaper and make it again a true challenger for ABP.

Buggy Application

From yesterday app is not working, it's showing "something is wrong".
I tried reinstalling the app but still it's showing the same error.

App is not working on iOS

Since last few days this app is not working. I am unable to see any news. It is saying some internet related issue this problem is causing but I am unable to understand what is the cause, as all other apps are working fine using same internet connection.

Unable to open

I am regular reader... but now a days after last update unable to open news... always error msg shown “network problem “
