### 2/5 — App Navigation Feels Outdated

*2025-06-28, version 1.5.0*

Please please put some resources in the app.

### 2/5 — iPad App

*2025-05-06, version 1.4.6*

The lack of a Horizontal View option is a serious deficiency!

### 2/5 — Need iPad app

*2024-04-07, version 1.3.0*

Need an iPad app!!!!

### 1/5 — Stories are hit and miss but app is barebones

*2023-12-08, version 1.2.9*

No dark mode
No text look up
No font size change
No iPad app
Search ability is poor

Shoddy work on the app overall

### 1/5 — Poor Quality of Journalism

*2023-12-01, version 1.2.8*

Not a source for good business news & financial analysis.

### 1/5 — App just crashes and asks for login after sometime

*2023-10-21*

Stories are good but the user gets logged out after sometime automatically and now the latest version is just crashing as soon as I open any article

### 2/5 — The app is not making me stick

*2023-10-11*

Top notch content, good quality journalism but the app needs a major revamp. You can’t zoom in on images, no horizontal mode, no offline support. Often the app goes blank when reading something and internet goes off. 
The only reason I’m considering not renewing is because app is quite bad.

### 1/5 — Horrible app that doesn’t do justice to the price

*2023-09-12*

Absolutely horrible app. Also absolutely hate the fact that a lein needs to be placed on my card for payment. This is absolutely unacceptable and I cancelled my subscription purely because of this reason. Do in app payments or get off the app store

### 2/5 — App makes content reading hard

*2023-06-29*

Have you looked at how yesterdays’ archives can be read? Whatever combo of hyperlinks I press, it always takes me back to most recent date only. Also, infographics need to be more expandable in the app without requiring pinch zooming.

### 1/5 — Bad App.

*2023-05-23, version 1.2.4*

It drains my battery like crazy. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, but it didn’t help. Don’t waste your time or battery on this app.

### 2/5 — Great Product let down by substandard app

*2023-03-20*

The app is such a let down. First and foremost the app drains the phone’s battery at an alarming rate. I lose 7 to 10 percentage points just by reading a single article on the app. Absolutely ridiculous! 
Secondly, no iPad version of the app. It is a Rs 3000+ subscription service. It is plenty likely they would own an iPad and would prefer to read your excellent articles on a large display. Why is there not an iPad app? You are not Instagram. 
Thirdly, the app itself looks barebones and devoid of any productivity features. Searching is cumbersome. Offline reading is missing. No support for night mode (which in 2023 is almost criminal)
Like everyone I am very appreciative of your journalistic work, but please update the app to reflect the standard that you have set for your journalism.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t sign in…

*2023-02-01, version 1.2.4*

Cannot sign in

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Most pathetic app

*2026-07-11*

Quite an underwhelming app.

There is no way to give feedback in app, there is no way to increase font size, no way to customise reading background color.
All these are very basic stuff for reading now, just a good journalism is not going to cut it. You have to make a great app

### 1/5 — Subscription issues

*2025-05-18*

What is the point of getting only a few lines of article , when paid for a month to check the quality of articles? If paid for full year, only then you get to read full articles in app!! Also the subscription fees is highly exorbitant for full year.. 😡

### 1/5 — Not able to login

*2025-04-16, version 1.4.4*

Whats the use of paying subscription fees if I am not able to login on the app. Its a bug that has been there for months. I have good review about the content but why bother with creating an app

### 1/5 — Paid and rarely able to access

*2025-01-29, version 1.4.1*

Can’t click on email link to access article - why have the link? Can’t open app without having to re-authenticate every time - why have the app? Wasted a 1 year subscription fee.

### 1/5 — Random news app

*2025-01-06, version 1.4.0*

They are masquerading as journalists but are the most corrupt bunch we have seen. People threaten you if you don’t pay them off

### 1/5 — At least let us highlight

*2024-12-01, version 1.3.5*

Over protective about their work. Dude At least let us highlight text and save it in the app. Your work is too good but the tech should keep up too.

### 1/5 — One of the worst IPhone & no iPad app.

*2024-11-09, version 1.3.5*

Learn from the guys at the-Ken. When you are charging such exorbitant price the least you can offer is a decent means to access your service.

### 1/5 — Just copy the Ken

*2024-09-16*

While I was searching for certain subscriptions that I can give to a friend on birthday, I came across this app. I had already been using Ken for a long time and because of its high subscription fees and low quality content wanted to make a switch. 

This app gives you good quality content. However, the lack of a night mode (in 2024!), no podcast support, a jarring in-app payment and signing in experience and a lack of support for iPad is disappointing. 

Just copy the Ken.

### 1/5 — Great content- terrible app!

*2024-07-29, version 1.3.5*

As the title of the review goes- The morning context is a great news site, an epitome of excellent journalism. However, the mobile app is simply subpar. It needs improvement big time.

### 1/5 — App is a Joke

*2024-06-25, version 1.3.2*

The app is horrible… not for to Apple App Store, hangs and freezes most times, scrolling is a task, looks like they got a bunch of freelance college coders to build a app.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great editorials and stories, and quite a good and stable app

*2023-07-26*

The header says it all! 

I would love TMC all the more if you added Dark Mode support in the app!!! Makes reading at night easier!

### 5/5 — Finally fixed

*2023-06-04*

Battey drain issues appear to be fixed now.
Best app to get good insights into corporates

### 5/5 — Ashish & Team is a Star :)

*2021-03-22, version 1.0.0*

My day starts with you guys. Thank you for this app.

### 4/5 — Good app but needs optimisation

*2023-05-17*

My phone has been heating up recently when using The Morning Context. Please look into it.

### 4/5 — Love the content but app needs to be better

*2022-03-13*

Your coverage and articles are very good, your app needs better user experience. For example, in an article, when you link some text to another piece, clicking it starts a fresh web page where I have to log in again. Why can’t it open the piece from within the app itself when I click on the link? Also, you should have search functionality within the homepage itself. It is better than having to go to the menu to search. 

Couple of plaints aside, love TMC. Keep up the good work!

### 3/5 — Poor UI on iPad

*2024-12-12*

The iPad version isn’t available yet. No landscape view. I have to unnecessarily squint at the small screen of my phone

### 3/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2024-07-17*

This app needs a lot of work. I use my ipad to read, and boy this is a pain. Sometimes the image would open and then there is no way to close it, sometimes the app won’t load, it keeps showing read stories over and over. If their journalism is 9 out of 10, this app is 1 out of 10.

### 3/5 — Dark Theme

*2024-06-26*

I can see on the sample screenshot that, dark is available on the TMC app, however, not able to find, where is this option available? 
Pls confirm.

### 3/5 — Make iPad compatible app

*2023-07-16, version 1.2.6*

Make iPad compatible app

### 3/5 — Content is great, app is infuriating

*2023-02-06*

Love reading the articles. But sometimes I don’t do so for months because the app and it’s login system drives me bonkers. Also, no ipad version.
