5/5great newspaper!
A long time ago in 1950s HT was our family newspaper! I have reconnected with the paper and I like it’s unbiased news and articles. Great Newspaper with a long history!

1/5Good app and content ruined by auto play music from ads
Good app; good content (I used to use it mainly for cricket news, of which there is a good variety). Lately, however, every time I open it on my iPhone, music starts playing in the background. It’s not clear where it is coming from to be able to turn it off. As soon as I exit the app, the music stops, so I know it’s from the app, not anywhere else on my iPhone. Whichever genius designed this feature for the HT app should be fired immediately.

3/5Home Page still showing elections news
Hello, Your home page still showing a lot of sections about elections when it’s been over a few weeks ago. Also the option to contact you via the contact us button under settings doesn’t have the send button enabled

3/5Lots of ad makes it less appealing
I like the previous version, I updated it recently and now I am thinking to delete it because of one reason they have filled page with lots of ad section. Open the app top half screen is filled with ad - whoever designed this crappy design I wanna ask would you like to see garbage when you open your gate.

Getting a quick overview up front, and opportunity to delve into details makes it convenient for me.

Lately, however, every time I open it on my iPhone, music starts playing in the background. It’s not clear where it is coming from to be able to turn it off. As soon as I exit the app, the music stops, so I know it’s from the app, not anywhere else on my iPhone. Whichever genius designed this feature for the HT app should be fired immediately.",
