Developers, please pay your attention to fix the bug and improve the performance as expected. ### 3/5 — App is crashing since 22nd April *2020-04-23, version 5.3.2* App is crashing since April 22...Please fix this ### 2/5 — Needs to improve the app *2019-07-07* 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. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2019-04-01* 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. ### 1/5 — Buggy Application *2018-09-11, version 3.3.0* 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. ### 1/5 — App is not working on iOS *2018-09-11* 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. ### 1/5 — Provides wrong and misguided information. *2018-09-09* Should be banned immediately ### 1/5 — Re: *2018-07-26, version 2.5.0* Not able to see older message with this new version ### 1/5 — Request to update app *2017-12-23, version 2.0.0* Please reupdate this app. I used on iphone x. First of all this app is not comfortable to this phone. 2nd all this app is not compactable iphone ios 11 smart inverter. And issue some bug fix. So please update this app. ### 1/5 — Worthless app for iOS *2017-09-02* News paper is good but to reach larger subscriber base you need to pay required attention to your app as well. In last couple of days this app crashes every time i have tried to open it. ### 1/5 — There is some problem to open the app *2017-08-24, version 1.1* There is some problem to open the app recently... pls resolve urgently!!! ### 1/5 — App not working last 10 days *2017-08-24, version 1.1* Hi, why the app not opening...? ### 1/5 — Very Bad *2017-08-20, version 1.1* All time it shows "kichu pore chesta korun". Very bad app for very renowned groups. ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2017-08-19* App doesn't work, gives a pop try again later... that's it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor services *2026-03-08* 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. ### 1/5 — AS BAD AS AN APPLICATION CAN BE. Shameful! *2023-05-20* 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. ### 1/5 — Bogus *2023-01-11, version 6.1.73* 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. ### 1/5 — Pathetic app *2021-12-24, version 6.1.53* Your recent update has ruined the purpose of the app. Nothing is showing up, no news! ### 1/5 — App is crashing *2021-10-17* 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. **Developer response:** 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 ### 1/5 — Biased reporting *2021-06-20* Extremely biased reporting, they seem to be the mouthpiece of TMC government of West Bengal. Extremely poor news site, no standards at all. ### 1/5 — Junk advertisement *2020-12-07* 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. ### 1/5 — This app is buggy *2019-08-31, version 4.5.0* The new version of this app is buggy. Crashes in several times ### 1/5 — Biased *2019-04-29, version 4.1.0* Biased and politically motivated news only. ### 1/5 — It’s main competitor is now Jago Bangla (Party mouthpiece of TMC) *2019-02-09* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unable to open *2018-09-11* I am regular reader... but now a days after last update unable to open news... always error msg shown “network problem “ ### 5/5 — Ei Samay *2017-10-08, version 2.0.0* Wonderful app ### 5/5 — Good *2017-08-31, version 1.1* Good at all ### 5/5 — Nice app *2017-03-20* Crisp and clear news makes it a must have app on your smartphone for all bong readers. ### 5/5 — My view on Ei Samay *2016-10-20* It prints news as news,yellow journalism has no place in it. ### 5/5 — Stay connected with the world as a Bengali *2015-10-27, version 1.1* Awesome App... Worth downloading ### 5/5 — Sureet Mookherjee *2014-12-15* Gr8 bengali news app!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-12-14* I want to thank ei Samay app in a very big way - sitting in usa this is the app that always keeps me so close to Kolkata and every day in the evening I literary wait for the content s to be updated so that I can have a great read - great impartial reporting fact reporting hats off - I have moved out of reading other Bengali family's because if you and this app - thanks a lot ei Samay keep up ### 5/5 — Very good apps for news. *2014-11-25, version 1.0.5* It's a very good app for news. It's offline view also very nice. Only major thing is that it is not the iPad version that is why it does not fit in the screen. Plz develop a iPad version for the same. ### 5/5 — Excellent news feed *2014-10-23, version 1.0.5* Require more detailing. Mentioning click the video but no option to watch. Old news are reflecting. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
