### 2/5 — Good content but lousy app

*2015-10-21, version 1.0*

Something is terribly wrong with this app. As other folks mentioned, it is redirecting to some ad page ( Google syndication) in Safari and the page is not loading anything. 

Please fix this issue. As of now, I have deleted the app because it's useless right now.

### 2/5 — Good content, poor execution

*2015-10-20, version 1.0*

Content is solid, as one would expect from HBR. Unfortunately, the advertising implementation kicks you out to safari and some googlesyndication site when you open the app, blocking you from seeing the content. At least the ad in safari never loads and from time to time the ad server doesn't kick you out of the app, so not a total failure, just mostly a failure.

### 1/5 — Abandoned app?

*2022-11-17*

I just recently opened this app on my phone and it appears to be abandoned. The most recent “tip” is 2 years old. Odd that it’s still in the store. Was a good idea when it was active.

### 1/5 — Stuck in the Past

*2021-01-12*

The app just brings up the tips that were first loaded when I downloaded the app.  It won’t refresh.  Even deleting the app and loading again does not help.  Really bad app from a good group.

### 1/5 — Is this still a thing?

*2020-10-17*

Mine hasn’t loaded new content since mid-August. Did Harvard abandon this app? I’ll give it a little while longer because they did this earlier this year with a month delay but it is getting ridiculous. If it starts working again, I’ll reevaluate and rereview.

### 1/5 — Not helpful .. Just frustrating.

*2017-07-03*

Your app (s) freeze constantly. You do realize that you have competitors and will lose business because of this? Get a clue! I also had your HBR Today app and this fires the same thing.

### 1/5 — App Does Not Work

*2017-03-17, version 1.0*

It worked fine for over a year and then all of a sudden it just gets stuck loading new content and it never loads.  I've deleted and re-downloaded the app again and still not change and yes, my iOS is the latest version. What an embarrassment for such I highly touted organization!

### 1/5 — Good content buggy app

*2017-02-11*

Latest revision gets stuck loading and won't open. Used to enjoy checking daily for content, can't get into the app anymore.

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2015-11-22*

It looks like it may be a good app with great info, but I immediately get kicked out and switched to an ad site in Google. I've deleted the app; let me know when you've fixed the issue.

### 2/5 — No longer updated?

*2021-08-31*

Content stops at end of 2020.  I’m guessing they no longer add new content

### 2/5 — Great Content..App is broken

*2017-03-31, version 1.0*

App only worked a few times and then froze up.  After deleting and reinstalling many times the app still just sits at the loading screen. 

The web site is awesome, just wish the app worked.

### 2/5 — A couple pros, a lot of cons

*2016-11-24*

The content is great and updated daily, but the app is not optimized for the newer phone sizes and loads poorly on a 7 Plus. Also the support email address in the app is no longer valid.

### 5/5 — Feedback

*2020-07-25*

Very slow loading

### 5/5 — Great management app

*2018-05-19*

I don’t understand the low reviews. To get great, quick, relevant management tips that are actually good... for free, in an easily consumable format. This app is great!

### 5/5 — Great Content

*2015-01-22*

I love reading my morning management tips. It gets my day started with positive motivation.

### 4/5 — Love the app. Send me notifications!

*2018-02-19, version 1.0*

I love the simplicity of this app - one tip per day that is thoughtful and thought-provoking. And not too much to read! The UI is perfect in its simple scope and design. 

The only downside is I forget to check the tips! The description says there are notifications and I have them turned on, but I’ve never gotten one in the years I’ve had the app installed.

### 3/5 — Update

*2021-09-06*

The app will not update itself to the most recent date. Showing December 1 of 2020 as the last update posting.

### 3/5 — Can’t share socially

*2018-01-08*

Great tips but kicks you out every time you want to share socially.

### 3/5 — Fix the bugs! Great tips!

*2017-01-20*

I really enjoy reading these tips on a daily basis! But lately the app just won't load. Please fix it!!!!

### 3/5 — Very slow in starting up

*2015-04-06*

This app gets stuck starting up for an unusually long time. The orange screen shows up for a long time while the app is presumably fetching new content. Please fix this ASAP.
