Community Voice & Feedback
Overall good but lacks font size customization. Hope it can be added so don’t have to read articles in browsers. Currently not using the App.
Adjustable font size please. Current font is nigh unreadable
This app is not loading HBR Executive content. When you click a link in the masterclass email. The link redirects to opening the application. But application either says failed to load content or asks me to get executive subscription.
Getting ready for a long flight and it appears I cannot download full magazines anymore….
How is the font size not adjustable? Trying to read these articles on an iPad is not a pleasant experience. Please look at apps that the Economist that provide a much better reading experience.
Previous version of the app had a download option. Doesn’t exist in this most recent version. Guess I’ll have to lug around the paper copy of the magazine to read on airplanes.
I have reached out to customer service, and after a week I received a response, but they didn’t answer my question about how I can download the magazine for a flight.
I have poor vision and struggle to enjoy the publisher's excellent content because the article's font size is small and not adjustable. Please enable font size changes for both article titles and the body text.
Here it is 2025 and can’t download magazine issues or specific articles in preparation for a long flight. Completely disappointing.
Please add the issues section back in the app. I love seeing the covers instead of Adi’s face all the time (no offense) and browsing content based on the current and past issues. I understand wanting to provide a stream of new content and personalized content based on usage, but please provide a practical way to navigate and consume issues like on the website.
For my use this app is inferior to web or printed edition. It does not allow picking a specific magazine issue and browsing through it, resuming an article (you can flag it but that is not the same as a bookmark). Also, it cannot display articles as printed (e.g. in PDF) that I particularly like about the magazine.
How are we at the end of 2024, and there is still not a way to consume the content through the app in magazine form? The published version found in bookstores is the superior way to read HBR. The developer has stated for years that this feature is in beta, and that it should be rolled out soon. As if they were developing software for NASA. Please implement this basic feature for paying customers.
The new HBR app is a breath of fresh air compared to the old experience.
I find the app a bit clunky, which makes me hesitant to use it more often. Additionally, the account settings menu could use improvement. That said, the articles are generally excellent. I could appreciate a broader range of opinions, but the depth of subject is sufficient for me.
Sadly, the iPad app is missing the opportunity to take advantage of the form factor and deliver an exceptional experience. The layout of articles on the iPad feels completely off - as if it was designed for an iPhone. It’s unfortunate that while the content is top notch, the experience is lacking. A basic feature that used to exist but is missing now (or really well hidden!) is to read a particular issue (current or a recent one) as a collection of articles, instead they are lost and jumbled in a sea of content; also missing is the ability for offline storage and reading of a particular issue, which was really useful as a way to catch up on articles while traveling without wifi access. These used to exist, so I am at a loss as to why they were removed - the annual subscription is certainly not cheap, so the iPad app is disappointing. I hope someone from the HBR product team is monitoring comments. (Disclaimer: I don’t do a lot of app reviews… but I like the magazine so much, and the iPad app is so atrocious … that I feel compelled to leave a detailed review!)
