Please look into this issue. **Developer response:** Hi User, We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. We are working on a new update to optimize the app for iPads. The update will be available for you to download soon. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No iPad OS Version *2025-05-18* This app works only on phone and is incompatible with iPad OS. It is difficult to read long articles on phone. Alternatively, there should be a provision to download the magazine as PDF and read it on iPad if there’s no tablet friendly version coming. **Developer response:** Hi Reader, Thanks for your feedback! We deeply respect your advice. We have forwarded your feedback to our tech team and will include it in upcoming updates. ### 1/5 — iPad version *2024-11-01* In iPad it’s opening in small window rather than full screen **Developer response:** Hi Reader, Thanks for the review.

Reddy were alive, Frontline started big and stayed on the frontlines of ethical journalism of national proportions but, no longer. Under N. Ram it has stooped so low that it seems to have no other agenda except to tom tom the corrupt dynastic political parties and push its own pseudo secularist agenda. Blindly opposing everything what the majority does is nothing but mindless opposition just for the sake of it. Oppose only when it needs to and on solid evidence. **Developer response:** Hi Reader, We request you to write your concerns to readerseditor@thehindu.co.in. We'd love to hear more about the issue you are facing. Thanks! ### 1/5 — It’s not for iPad *2024-01-02* Developer please develop iPad version for this app, we are not able to read on iPad, the actual content we could not see clearly, there is no available dark mode option, app completely open at centre of screen the app is not compatible for iPad screen. **Developer response:** 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! ### 1/5 — Very bad app! *2023-12-06* I have subscribed, still when it shows me the magazine, it always asks for “Subscribe “ and never lets me view the content in magazine form. 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! **Developer response:** Hi Reader, we are extremely sorry for the inconvenience. To help you with this, we would like to know your feedback in detail. Kindly write to us at appsupport@thehindu.co.in. We will help you at the earliest. ### 2/5 — Great Content Buggy App *2025-08-28* Random popups to buy subscriptions even when in subscriptions. The contents are really good but the app falls short. **Developer response:** Hi Reader, Thank you for your feedback. We understand that ads and subscription pop-ups can be intrusive. A lot of effort goes into providing quality content, which allows us to continue delivering it and improving your experience. Your input helps us improve, and we will take your concerns into consideration for future updates. ### 2/5 — Not optimised for iPad *2025-04-24* Please make this app for iPad. Most readers will read this magazine on an e-reader, not a mobile phone. Listen to your readers and invest in optimising the experience for iPad, tablet, etc. **Developer response:** Hi Reader, We've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback! ### 2/5 — Bad experience *2025-04-10* Need to update app’s ui. It’s very unwelcoming and tiring. Landscape mode also doesn’t stretch the articles to fit the screen. **Developer response:** Hi Reader, Thanks for the review. We've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking the time to send us your suggestion ### 2/5 — Alignment issue *2025-03-15* App is not opening in full screen rather in a tiny window of iPad .It ruins the experience of reading articles & magazine. Please fix it. **Developer response:** Hi Reader, Thanks for the review. We've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking the time to send us your suggestions! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — DISPLAY *2026-02-14* The size of the app screen is not customised for the iPad. The screen size displayed is of iPhone size. It is inconvenient to use and entire display area of iPad is not used. Kindly update the app for full screen utilisation. Rating is for the display only. **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Best Magazine globally *2025-04-07* After more than three decades of reading English Language magazines published from most Nations globally, I find that the Hindu Group Publication Magazine FRONTLINE to be the numero uno in terms of news content, updated info and knowledge content besides the best-quality glossy pages in which the contents are well-tabulated and presented. There are distinct sections for every reader’s interests - Science, Technology, Sport, Politics, Arts & Culture etc. There are also special section articles on Archaelogy, Medicine, Viral News, etc. Happy and immersive reading at its best. **Developer response:** Hi Chandrasekar, Thank you for your review. Enjoy reading :) If you have any feedback or suggestions, you could write to us at appsupport@thehindu.co.in. We would love to hear from you! ### 5/5 — Request to introduce full screen feature for ipad *2025-03-29* Excellent magazine with a good app but a full screen feature for viewing the text on an iPad would greatly enhance reader experience **Developer response:** Hi Reader, Thanks for the rating. Hope you continue to enjoy reading the news on our app. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please write to us at appsupport@thehindu.co.in. We would love to hear from you! ### 5/5 — Not supporting iPad *2024-08-01* Kindly make available a version for iPad users unable to read digital magazine in ios app **Developer response:** Hi Sujith, Thank you for your suggestions. We will try to incorporate them into upcoming versions. ### 5/5 — Incompatible with big screen. *2023-11-13* Contents and its access is best served when using the mobile version. The same experience fades on tablet. Suggesting an investment on the App’s flexibility with big screen as it does on mobile the very best. **Developer response:** Hi Muhammad, Thanks for the rating. We've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking the time to send us your suggestions! ### 4/5 — Some Suggestions *2026-01-13* The Frontline App is a wonderful new way to read the popular magazine. Although the experience is quite good, I would like to make some suggestions and alert the Devs of some Bugs. 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. **Developer response:** 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!

It would be helpful to have it full screen. Secondly, you can work on providing option of downloading magazine within app to support offline reading , say for eg when you are in flight. Economist has such features and it’s really helpful. **Developer response:** Hi Reader, Thanks for the rating. We've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking the time to send us your suggestions! ### 4/5 — Please include selection of text *2023-06-11* Overall app is working good. Please include the provision for selection of the text so that the features like lookup of the word meaning and copying, highlighting etc. can be employed. **Developer response:** Hi Jeeva, Thanks for the rating. We've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking the time to send us your suggestions! ### 3/5 — Need App support for iPad *2025-04-20* The iPad version doesn’t support full screen which is disappointing. **Developer response:** Hi Reader, We've forwarded your feedback to our developers. Thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback! ### 3/5 — Issues with the iPad version *2025-03-31* Works great on the phone - but the iPad version remains in portrait mode and size of a phone screen, would be great if you could read it like an e-magazine or at least have it scale to the size of the screen. **Developer response:** Hi Reader, Thanks for the review. We've forwarded your feedback to our developers.
