Listen to podcast in background
Why can I not listen to podcasts with the Ken app playing in the background without downloading ? I’m a paid subscriber , for example when I am driving, or just surfing on my couch while listening to a podcast, I should be able to do such a simple.
Content is not insightful enough for justify the subscription fee
Content quality & journalism has very much degraded over the years. There’s no specific insight that one can derive from Ken articles - it’s more news reporting, and anything distinctive is copied from other platforms.
Sad that they don’t process refunds because customers aren’t happy with the quality of output- sure, it will retain a one time subscription fee, but not encourage repeat returns.

Buggy for IOS 26
I switched to an Iphone 17 pro and ever since the app has been glitching.
Clicking on Explore crashes the app.

Worth it!
Ken Business has quickly become my go-to app for understanding what’s really happening in the Indian business landscape. Unlike regular news apps that just give headlines, this one provides deep insights, context, and well-researched stories that connect the dots.
I really like the way Rohan and PGK cover a wide range of topics—startups, big corporates, policy moves, finance, and even consumer trends. The writing is clear and engaging, so even complex subjects feel easy to follow. It doesn’t overwhelm you with noise; instead, it delivers thoughtful analysis that helps me see the bigger picture.
The app itself is well designed—clean interface, smooth navigation, and no unnecessary clutter. Articles load quickly, bookmarking works well, and it feels like a premium reading experience.
If you’re a professional, student, or just someone curious about Indian markets and companies, this app is an excellent investment of time. It’s not just news—it’s knowledge you can actually use to understand how Indian business is evolving.

variety covered in depth
Since more than an year now, Ken is the only goto place for indepth analysis of any business topic in India. The articles are researched well and most importantly the story telling and narrative is excellent. I eagerly wait for the First Principles on Sunday morning. The new 2 by 2 podcast dwells into stories relevant for India’s growth story. Overall a great companion for my morning coffee everyday.

Why is an update required every other day??
It is super irritating to see an update ask pop up every second day. Why??
Crashes crashes crashes
The app got an entire revamp on May 2024 and it has earned itself the award of Father of all crashes .
Even support team is not helpful with any resolution. It’s been 2 weeks .
It’s a money wasted on an app update engineered to crash after money grab .

Messed up the app with the new update
The new update (May 2024) has really messed up the reading experience. The app has become quite cluttered hampering the reading. There used to be a neat red line under each story / newsletter that indicate if I have read it or not. Now that’s gone. The scrolling used to end with the story now it keeps on going. This is a classic example of why you should not change something when it doesn’t require change. Really sad this is being done by the Ken which writes so much on Product Strategy of companies.

Newsletter section in app never loads
While I have no concerns with the quality of articles published, the app needs a bug fix on the newsletter section in the ios app for iPads as the section refuses to load. Happy to update rating if this is resolved
Add voice to text option to articles to listen them then instead reading
You can find the headphones option like the one on Substack is really helpful
It helps in decreasing the screen time as well

Awesome content, needs feature to highlight
Please include the feature to highlight interesting things - the main downside of the app rest everything is amazing
Option to save notes in the app
Hi, i really like Ken’s articles. Have one suggestion, if you can build an option to highlight and save portions from the article in the app like kindle app has. A single page with all the saved notes for would be beneficial. Currently app restricts copying contents to apple notes app, having feature to save notes in the ken app itself would be very helpful.

Nice app but stop the nagging on notifications
I’m greeted by a request to enable notifications every time I open the app. I do not want to enable notifications so please remember my choice and stop nagging every time. I’ve reached out via the support channels and have had no luck in getting this changed.
I’m just ken
Ken … is … me
Unable to login: Paid Member
Long time user and paid member. Suddenly the app stopped refreshing ( unable to show latest articles). This went on for 3 days. My internet is fine, all other apps working.
Tried everything.
Finally uninstalled and downloaded the app again. But now I cannot login on the app. The error message is also not visible when I am trying to login.

Good research but topics now too niche
Have been a regular subscriber and big fan of their storytelling style. Clean, well researched and interesting storytelling that keeps you hooked. Also, on topics of wide enough base and relevance, including tech, healthcare and public policy debates
Can’t help but feel the quality of narrative and basket of topics is not the same as before. Maybe due to a churn in the team or otherwise. Would love to see this revive !

Very unstable
Great content. Though, the app is very unstable. It gets stuck while reading stories and doesn't scroll anymore
More than worth the subscription
Have been a subscriber since more than 2 years. Finding it worth the 15 20 minutes being spent on reading the content and also the money that I spend on the subscription.
The variety and range of topics covered and the depth in which they are covered is more than adequate.
Would highly recommend.

Best researched articles
Ken’s selection of topics and depth of research leaves your day of reading fulfilled. It is better than read of news.
Daily Doze
One of the best tech Startup journalism out there. Unlike any other news articles I have read, always has a personal touch and really good research without any biases
