Why we have a paywall
Media is difficult. People like free. But free, ad-supported content often leads to clickbait articles that are low quality. Ad revenue doesn’t responsibly support the costs associated with publishing an article (not even The New York Times survives on ad revenue alone). We launched a paywall because it allows us to pay our writers, editors, photographers, engineers, and artists responsibly. It also allows us to invest in better journalism. If you have additional questions about this, please don’t hesitate to email support@thejuggernaut.com. We’d love to hear from you.

### 3/5 — Glitchy search bar

*2026-05-21*

I can’t search topics from the homepage as it glitches . Please can you fix this bug

### 1/5 — Problematic app

*2026-03-29*

This app didn’t allow me to turn off Notifications. It is one of the reasons I am canceling my subscription. You have to make it more user friendly. There is no easy way to change the settings for this

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2025-10-19*

The articles feature a distinct south Asian perspective . The magazine is offering a great journalistic quality.

### 1/5 — Hard to cancel subscription

*2025-03-05*

Good content but difficult to cancel subscription. It looks like you cancelled but it really doesn't.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback, NinjaNobo! We've noted both suggestions and will add these to our next app update. Happy reading!
Edit: fixed as of v3.1.5!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-03-04*

Beware of subscribing, because they won’t let you unsubscribe. Two years in a row I cancelled my subscription, but somehow that gets reversed and get resubscribed somehow? The first year I lost $70 and this year luckily my card expired. 
Very angry about this! My bank wouldn’t even help me out.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2024-10-27*

The app experience was frustrating from the start. Creating an account was unnecessarily complicated, yet it allowed me to make a purchase without even needing an account. If purchases are possible without registration, what’s the point of forcing users to create an account in the first place?

### 3/5 — Impressive yet disappointing

*2024-09-23*

The publication’s good cultural coverage is neutralized by a self-defeating unhinged political slant that borders on soft propaganda.

### 2/5 — Not relevant

*2024-09-02*

When I click on insta story doesn’t land on the actual article on app .

### 5/5 — Authoritative

*2024-09-01*

Well researched, well written and well thought out articles that provide a nuanced view about India.

### 1/5 — Login not working and payment wasted

*2024-07-05*

I bought the 99$ subscription because I enjoyed a few articles - but now I can’t login to the app despite resetting password and I can’t use the premium subscription and it asks me to subscribe again. Haven’t heard from support either so hopefully this review gets some attention

**Developer response:** Hi virde, we are extremely sorry you had this experience! Please rest assured that we strive to fix any issues users face, and are happy to issue you a refund if there was an error on our part. We have addressed all tickets sent to support, but I wanted to check in to ensure that yours was addressed.
