HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (253 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

What users say

Latest reviews, Germany App Store.

★★★★★Jun 21, 2026
Very good content, hampered by UX problems

The Hindu does a very good job of reportage. I think they also have reasonably measured editorial content. However, from a UX perspective, there are a lot issues mostly around premium content needing additional authentication, a lack of scaling based on screen size, and upselling subscriptions to paying users.

★★★★★May 30, 2026
All rounder of News

Gives a dive in on most topics including environment.

★★★★★May 14, 2026
Is it truly The Hindu

The Hindu news paper some decades ago was known for quality reporting and used to be a North Star for every reader to gain knowledge as well as proficiency in the language. The Hindu now seems for anyone who is not a Hindu. The stance in reporting is biased to destroy the fabric of Hinduism that defines the Bharat. Invaders and barbarians who looted Bharat are glorified and the Bharatiyata is intentionally ignored in articles, opinions and editorials.

★★★★★Apr 17, 2026
Unreadable

Every time I open The Hindu app on my iPad I wonder what went down the thought process of the webpage designers, and the Management Team themselves who approved the design. Did they think it was cute, that a small window lends itself to great reading? A completely ridiculous design in my opinion. This is the very reason I hardly open the App and regret being a subscriber. I am done and will not have regrets not coming back.

★★★★★Mar 24, 2026
