The Times of India - News App 12+

Toi widget messed up

The latest update has totally messed up the toi widget. No headlines visible in ios 13 dark mode. Only their thumbnails visible. Everything was working fine before this update. What update was this??? Dont your testers check once before pushing the update on live updated version???

I have updated the star rating from 1 to 4 as requested by you. But please try to understand users point of view. I use the toi widget to checkout headlines numerous times in a day and when it gets buggy after an update its frustrating. Please make this app ios 13 dark mode ready.

I have emailed you the issue in detail with screenshot.

Quality of content

It’s like reading a load of hogwash which is really - blah.

Your kind of businesses have to shape the world with good things that happen and not fill it up with
1) Fake news - the kinds that make money with a trick - only thing and trick that works is - hard work and sincerity to what we work as- now as far as your articles go - well that’s what is missing and I really will NOT BECOME a paid subscriber even if it is discounted !! Don’t need to try so hard to SELL if the quality is good.

2) Improve the quality of the information
a) Don’t sensationalize and increase anxiety
quotient to readers

b) Do not advocate let’s say articles/content
that gives the wrong way possible ideas to younger people who ARE SUPPOSED TO LEARN and not find shortcuts like in your articles - how this person made insane huge amounts of money by doing some magic trick - it’s an eyesore as well as a Mind SORE.

3) Eyecatchy new is good - but don’t go overboard with headlines that trigger unwanted flows of thoughts in the minds of a vast public that is already looking to escape a miserable and tough existence due to many factors - financially, professionally and any other ways.

In short - if you are responsible as a media house - shape the world for the better and not for the well worser

TOI+ doesnt work properly and Useless Epaper Section

1. TOI+ doesnt work properly. I am unable to save Some stories that are under toi+. Also, lot of times, i am unable to read saves stories while in flight. It keeps on saying that you are offline despite saving stories before putting it on flight mode.
2. There is a useless section of Epaper which has 1 day old news. I don’t understand one thing - who needs an Epaper when it has- one day old news and there is an app which gives news instantly. We are having app so that we get information immediately. Your epaper readers would be very less in terms of % of total users. Instead of that, earlier you guys used to have Briefs Section on which i used to get all the news in concrete and collated manner which has gone. Home page has lot of unnecessary news which aren’t relevant at all. Please get it rectified asap.
