Bcz the current max is not sufficient and you can do more to give more user friendly inter face for reading it on mobile. Keep improving. Love to read ur paper. ### 4/5 — Regarding payment *2024-09-25, version 4.2.5* I paid for subscription but still preview is shown to me. ### 4/5 — Trust Tribune *2024-01-22* Authentic, accurate, prompt news with adequate detail are the characteristics of The Tribune. The priority is on relevant and important matters rather than mundane insignificant events. Coverage of regional, national and international political, social and administrative matters along with sports is quite comprehensive and complete. The Tribune does not leave a need to refer to other sources. The only sore point is the frequent presence of long advertisements which have audio that can be disturbing, and cannot be skipped or aborted. ### 4/5 — Delayed updates *2023-09-22* Tribune being a leading news junction should flash on line news as fast as possible. Moreover, to make it more papular some editorial should also be introduced. Don’t make it free. Charge nominal Subscription. ### 1/5 — Can’t read news *2023-04-01* Only photo displays ### 4/5 — Performance *2023-03-18* Very good . ### 1/5 — Subscription hidden *2023-03-01* This review is for the app, payment for subscription should be straight forward but I only see my subscription expired but there is no where I can find a “payment” button.. not sure why the developers chose it to be hidden and make it extremely difficult for the user to read news! It’s been half hour and I still don’t find a payment link/button ### 1/5 — e paper not accessible despite subscription. *2022-12-12* I have subscribed e paper. It opened only first 2-3 days. But problem started thereafter My whole day is wasted in efforts to open the paper. It doesn’t proceed beyond first page. I sent an email to the tribune authorities, but no action taken except sending a routine and perfunctory type of reply. I am deeply disappointed. It is saddening that an established paper of the Tribune’s stature has fallen so low. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2022-08-03* My subscription has been billed thrice. I have called the Dgm circulation more than 4 months back. Last he forwarded me to head marketing. Got call from a girl from tribune. Nothing happened after that. The subscription does not work on my laptop and I get message to subscribe. Today got a new phone. I am unable to log. Get message to subscribe. App has no facility to logout from apple nor can I change login id. Most disappointed. Shame for a reputed paper. ### 2/5 — Application hangs a lot and then crashes. *2022-06-08* The application hangs a lot and then crashes probably while loading some advertisements. Platform: Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max Software Version: 15.5 ### 2/5 — Content good. Advertisement slow down the experience *2022-05-29* Adds technology needs to be changed so that it does not mess up the experience ### 1/5 — App not works properly *2022-04-22, version 4.0* When you minimize this aap and open again then you will find that the thing which you was reading is closed. And then you have to open your edition again which is a very irritating. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pop-up Ads are annoying *2026-03-16* Pop-up Ads are annoying ### 1/5 — Pathetic app *2025-02-28* Not sure how they got 4.5 stars. Whenever you click on a news you will see an ad. Also ads full of main page and app crashes many times. ### 1/5 — No Dark Mode Option *2024-10-21* I am not criticising anything else. I was very much enjoying the older version of the app but I don’t know how they forgot to provide the dark mode option for this update. Truly disappointing. Provide it back Team Tribune. ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2024-02-15, version 4.2.1* One of the most disgusting app I have used, you zoom at particular article and it is so bad when zooming, I highly don’t recommend it. Secondly I hate when articles on page 1 are continued in another page this is most ridiculous trend newspapers follow , so inconvenient. Last purchase . ### 1/5 — Tribune review *2023-12-28* Too many advertisement on tribune webpage and app. ### 1/5 — Ads *2023-10-15* Crazy amount of ads. I didn’t knew u tribune is poor. And there are spelling mistakes in the online version. W T F. Please stick to news, no ads, and spell check it. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2023-10-12* Crashes many times. So many useless irritating. So many useless advertisements. Shame for Tribune. ### 1/5 — Pathetic app *2023-08-27, version 4.1.3* I really like The Tribune. But the app is really pathetic compared to other newspapers. This app is like that of a very gareeb newspaper which cannot afford the app development and have pathetic ads after every news you read. So I have stopped reading the news. At present I have shifted to reading headlines only and may in coming future would delete this app ### 1/5 — Bad App *2023-06-28* Crashes many times. So many useless irritating advertisements ### 1/5 — Cannot read news *2023-04-14, version 4.0.9* Since the last update on opening news items just the pictures are available no text on detailed news comes up. App getting bad day by day. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good improvement *2024-09-22, version 4.2.5* The new face of Tribune is appreciable. The app work better than before. Good job. 👍 ### 5/5 — Good *2024-09-07, version 4.2.4* It’s got much better lately . Some more quantitative and qualitative improvements can be brought about though . ### 5/5 — Reporting as expected . . 10/10 *2024-03-15, version 4.2.4* Reader since 15 years ### 5/5 — The Tribune *2023-09-22* Tribune newspaper is my favourite since my childhood. I used to wait for it anxiously every morning and enjoy ### 5/5 — Great experience *2023-06-25* I saw the subscription notification for the tribune epaper . The registration was very easy and quick . I could read the news paper within minutes . The format is great . It gives you an excellent reading frame . The flipping through pages is very easy. A great experience reading it 👏👏👏 ### 5/5 — Not working *2022-09-08* From last due the app is showing test paper and I can’t open the newspaper I don’t know what’s the problem and no one is answering my queries I m using the since last 5 year it’s my annoying ### 5/5 — Could be more better *2022-08-19* No doubt u r best in North India, seriously no match or any other option. But the problem is the UI of your app & e-paper online as well which is pathetic. As a student if I a want to make digital notes then I cant even copy from the NP the words or images clips, etc. I can’t even tap or select a word if I want to search it on Google for its meaning or definition. There is an option for download in the online e-paper website but not in the app & also the download of a single page only not the full version of the paper, but still that is not a problem if u can provide us with option download of a single article or download option with merging of pages like if I want to download a specific article or some specific pages only not the whole page or whole paper. Please, add these features in your app & online e-paper website where users like me want to use your app only (W/o using any 3rd party app) for reading as well as note making & searching a word for definition i.e. paper in word format coz it is currently available for reading purpose only. ### 5/5 — Tribune journalism *2022-05-30* Good coverage & fearless too . People problems needs to be highlighted. We are having International Airport at Chandigarh (Mohali) but people have been deprived of this facility. Tribune need to press this point. Runway length have been increased but landing system is still not the latest one . It was expected from The Tribune to take this matter prominently so that international flights to England/Canada/USA start at the earliest. ### 5/5 — Economic issues *2022-02-27* I am fan of the Tribune since 1971. In the recent past it is felt that Economic issues are not paid enough attention especially having International implications ### 5/5 — An old reader *2022-02-20, version 3.8* Reading The Tribune in USA i feel that i am in punjab .I trust this news paper from my college days.On the app i feel that i am still reading it in my college library at chandigarh. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
