DISPLAY
Response from developer
Hi Reader, Thank you for your feedback on the app's iPad UI. We apologize for the readability issue, it's currently optimized for phones, but we're working on iPad-specific enhancements for full-screen display. For priority help, email appsupport@thehindu.co.in.
Some Suggestions
On The Dark Mode:
- Though the Dark Grey Background in the dark mode is not problematic, it is not a true Dark Mode
- Suggestions would be to take TheHindu standalone app’s (or the Reuters app) dark mode feature and apply it to this UI. It is more modern and sleek to view. The black compliments well on LCD and OLED screens.
On Design Philosophy:
- While the app takes a novel approach by giving curated Articles on every section to read, the feature to read the magazine as is would be moresatisfactory.
- Taking inspiration from The Hindu ePaper would be beneficial as the “eMagazine” would allow users to read a Particular Issue in the Proper order (List of Contents as per the Physical Copy), but in their preferred mode of viewing (In this case Smart Article View, where one may tap on any article and read it as it were on phone or read it as they would any PDF)
- The Font formatting can also be tweaked to have varying line spacing and character spacing as the Books app on ios does.
- The new Liquid Glass may also be integrated into the app to allow users continuity in OS and the App UI and UX.
On Bugs:
- While viewing older articles, the AI summary and functions and basic scrolling functions encounter bugs
- There is considerable lag and the experience is not satisfactory.
In conclusion is a welcome addition to every Indian’s phone, and these suggestions are small but relevant cues.

Hi Vivaan Menon, Thank you for your thoughtful review of the Frontline App! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed it as a fresh way to experience the magazine. We appreciate your detailed feedback on dark mode, design, and bugs, it's incredibly helpful for improving the app. Dark Mode is a great suggestion! We already have this for Frontline Android app will include the same for iOS. The eMagazine idea like The Hindu ePaper, Adding issue-based reading with smart article views, proper content order, adjustable font spacing, and Liquid Glass continuity is on our radar. Sorry for the lag and issues with older articles, AI summaries, and scrolling. Our devs are prioritizing fixes for a smoother experience. Your input makes a real difference, thanks for helping us build a better app for every reader! For more details or to share additional thoughts, email us at appsupport@thehindu.co.in.

Hi Shailesh, Thanks for the rating. We've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking the time to send us your suggestions!
Very bad app!
What use is this app for then? I mean, you guys charge so much and are the most expensive newspapers in India,
And you can’t make an iOS app that works?
Shame on the company and developer.
Every app of the Hindu is of same low quality and full of bugs.
Before criticising others in your editorials, improve yourself!
