1/5News site that values ad revenue over User Experience
A News app that focuses more on ad revenue by selling pages that slow down the user experience of their own app. Ridiculous gaming ads take complete control of the app, do not allow users to even dismiss, and another 20-30 seconds of your life has just been wasted. I had high respect once upon a time for NDTV. Any app that prioritizes ad placement over UX does so at the cost of diminishing returns. I refuse to be suckered by such outlets going forward. Enough is enough.

3/5Unnecessary ads when you switch on the app
It forces you to watch unwanted ad videos in the beginning and sometimes when browsing. Understand that ad is a major revenue but this app takes it to a new level. Otherwise it’s a good news source platform. I have it for many years and rely on it for Indian news.

1/5Disappointed Long-Time Viewer
Downloaded the app hoping the interface would improve — sadly, it has only gotten worse over the years. Instead of focusing on building a reliable platform and delivering unbiased, critical journalism, NDTV appears to be investing its energy in pushing selective agendas (for example, their campaign against stray dogs in India) and congratulating themselves for it. I grew up watching NDTV, but it’s disheartening to see a once-respected news organization narrow its perspective instead of strengthening its reporting.

2/5App issue
Dear Support Team, I am experiencing a recurring display issue within the app. When reading news articles, embedded videos, Instagram posts, or photos are shifting to the very top of the page, which causes the headlines and first few paragraphs to become obscured and unreadable. This significantly impacts the readability and overall user experience. I have already attempted basic troubleshooting steps, including uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but the issue persists. Below are my device details for reference: • Device: iPhone 16 • iOS Version: 26.1 Kindly look into this issue and advise on the next steps. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving it at the earliest. I tried to submit this issue on your app support page but it is failing with error of access denied, hence posting as review. Thank you,

2/5Very Ads focused
Ad placements are so very intrusive that It breaks the continuity and the fun out of news reading. You guys are pioneers in the news business. Please focus on making the app more friendly towards news reading rather than ruining the news reading experience by adding intrusive and unscrollable Ads which might increase your monetization but will overtime lose you your users because of frustration. You used to be better.
