Very good content, hampered by UX problems
The Hindu does a very good job of reportage. I think they also have reasonably measured editorial content. However, from a UX perspective, there are a lot issues mostly around premium content needing additional authentication, a lack of scaling based on screen size, and upselling subscriptions to paying users.

Hi Reader, Thanks for the detailed feedback, we appreciate it. We're glad you value our reporting and editorials. I’m sorry for the friction you experienced with premium authentication, screen scaling, and subscription prompts. We’re working to improve authentication flows and responsive layouts, and to reduce unnecessary upsell messages for existing subscribers. Please share screenshots or account details at appsupport@thehindu.co.in so we can investigate and fix these issues promptly.

Is it truly The Hindu
The Hindu news paper some decades ago was known for quality reporting and used to be a North Star for every reader to gain knowledge as well as proficiency in the language.
The Hindu now seems for anyone who is not a Hindu. The stance in reporting is biased to destroy the fabric of Hinduism that defines the Bharat. Invaders and barbarians who looted Bharat are glorified and the Bharatiyata is intentionally ignored in articles, opinions and editorials.

App issues
Constantly crashing…
Unreadable
Every time I open The Hindu app on my iPad I wonder what went down the thought process of the webpage designers, and the Management Team themselves who approved the design. Did they think it was cute, that a small window lends itself to great reading? A completely ridiculous design in my opinion. This is the very reason I hardly open the App and regret being a subscriber. I am done and will not have regrets not coming back.
