EPaper is not opening for hours after recent update.
Usually Hindu group epapers take more time to load. After 27 July 2025 update, it is not loading the EPaper. I use 200 Mbps broadband network.

Cannot login via google account
I have purchased the premium via web browser but when I am trying to sign in on iPhone 15, it's showing "Contact developer to let them know that their app must comply with Google's use secure browsers' policy"
I have emailed them the issue along with screenshot but still no response

Bad Experience
I had very bad experience with Business Line epaper. Firstly app takes a lot of time to open on iphones .We keep waiting and waiting but it never opens. I feel cheated after buying the 6 month subscription.
Please don’t opt for Hindu Business Line as a Buiness e paper. Choose other options.

Best business news paper for academicians, students and Business men
Really super, critical analysis, policy orientation more than that the ease of reading. I enjoy and benefit from reading the BL daily 👌👍

To be rectified

Excellent business news reading app
My business reading habit has changed with BL as because of its extraordinary smooth app and clean presentation with detail stock and MF analysis. Though some shortcomings are there in app that need to addressed immediately. Keep it up BL.

It’s good paper

Poor tech maintenance
Most of the days the app won’t be working. We have to pay for subscription but they never to tech maintenance. Simply waste of money. Even if we buy physical paper that’s far better.

Poor ePaper App
Very very difficult to login for a regular subscriber of The Hindu Group of newspapers. Very very poor customer service. None to receive complaints and solve the issues in time. Totally disappointed
2024-03-28
Worst platform to read thus ePaper

Delete the app and reinstall the same app and reset the password
Worst app

Failed App
Even after purchasing subscription for 2 years, It is showing I have not subscribed to epaper.
2024-03-16
Nice when it works
Buggy, erratic.
Logs me out of my iPad app.
Need to contact customer support that is tardy to gain access again
2024-03-10
Subscribed for one year for combo - Not able to login since September 2023
Despite my repeated contacts, I am not able to login. Waste of Rs. 1900/- or so.
If you can get it corrected, do it.

App Crash
Hi Team,
I continuously face issues while reading the daily e-paper. The app crashes. While the other app yours(The Hindu E-Paper) works fine. Could you work on it to improve and make better soon?
2024-01-15
Worst app ever
This app has not been updated in YEARS, that shows how horrible it is! Keeps crashing, if there was a 0 star option, would have given it

Can’t read on iPad as app doesn’t work
This app just doesn’t work. I can read on laptop, but not on iPad. Worst part is I am a Magzter member too and this opens as a preview (can read three pages) there without any problem, but not on BL app. Request to please look into it and improve app. It’s fun to read newspaper on iPad rather than a computer. Hope BL team will act….
2023-08-02
Absolutely disgusting app
I opted for a seven day trial. But as soon as I login and tap on today’s edition of the epaper, the app shuts down.
2023-08-02
Ee paper subscription
Purchased a subscription and not able to login to the E paper app worst service
2023-07-18
Worst Newspaper App on IOS
Lost my money . Paid for the app and couldn’t access as they said they couldn’t find my subscription. It took three weeks of back and forth writing to reset the password and by that time the article I wanted to access was one month behind and for some strange reason these Ni wits have chosen to restrict my access to one month back from the the current date. Bunch of silly admins are managing this App
2023-07-17
Nil star
Poor app. Not able to open. Only it shows the banner asking for subscription although we are the current subscribers. I have subscribed for Hindu and BL. Because of this problem I am not reading your said Papers past 3 weeks. I am using it iPhone and Pad.
2023-06-14
Logout
The app asks you to login on the same device even if you don’t logout through the app. For eg. I use the desktop and when traveling can’t access the paper on the app unless I remember the pw.

Login issues on iphone and ipad..

Can’t access e-paper
For the past few days haven’t been able to open e-paper. The app just opens and displays the issues date wise, but the paper doesn’t open.
2023-01-24
Landscape mode isn’t working!!!
While the app is smooth and has all the basic features; the app is only stuck to portrait mode and as such it makes it difficult to read it at times. Kindly rectify asap!!
2023-01-09
Updating once a week?
The epaper is only showing old editions and not updating itself. How can it fail in such basic functionality?
2022-12-25
Lost access on update
Although the content of the paper is undoubtedly excellent, the app is one of the worst. Still, it was working until updated last week. After the last update, it signed me out and now there is no access to any content.
2022-12-21
news is good app not so much
in the latest update the screen size is fixed to phone or ipad while i am using the app on mac. i have to zoom or click on individual articles or zoom to able to read them. please optimise for mac OS too.
further there is no option to delete the downloaded edition. i can only select the downloaded edition but delete option doesnt appear. i will update my rating after the delete button apppears.
2022-12-21
Landscape mode isn’t working
After the recent update ,we are able to read only at portrait mode ,the landscape mode isn’t working. Kindly look into the same at the earliest
2022-12-07
Worst app and worst support
I am unable to log in the app despite having a valid subscription. Written emails so many time but no action even after one month.
2022-07-06
Extremely Poor
I have subscribed to both The Hindu and BusinessLine and ePaper app for The Hindu works seamlessly while I struggle to even log in for BusinessLine.
I wonder how they are unable to detect and fix such issues.
Reading other reviews appears that the developers hardly look at this feedback and try to improve. But well nevertheless hoping for best.
