Cancel ET
I have tried to cancel this Economic Times, numerous times and it won’t stop. I have sent emails to stop sending me emails and they won’t stop. They send too much and I want to unsubscribe and it won’t let me. If you want your inbox clogged with emails and have a company disregard requests to stop then this horrible Economic Times app is the one. They are horrible
Prime Ad infested
Hey ET, I dont need investment/yoga/wellness classes from you. I thought buying prime subscription would save me from ads but I was wrong.
Too many notifications
Way too many notifications means they are also selling or sending my personal info to third parties. Dont download this app
Up to the moment information
This Business Model is the best example of true leadership and journalism
Relentless Spam - Unsubscribe Means Nothing
I've unsubscribed multiple times, marked emails as junk, and even blocked the sender-yet the spam won’t stop. This company clearly ignores opt-out requests, making their practices feel deceptive and intrusive. Avoid them.
Instructions
I can’t add any stocks to a ET watch list on my iPhone.
Can not get rid of them !
Bad news
Ads in paid version.
Disgusting.
Horrible ad inserts
Sticky and horrible as inserts in middle of viewing.
A very damning and lowest level of user experience/

Rating
Useless Application. Most of the articles require you to subscribe with fees.
P
You keep unsubscribing me
Too many notifications
I have been trying to find a way to get rid of all your myriad notifications and it appears to be impossible.
I can’t even spam you out.

Not optimized for iPad
Lousy, low res user interface that is an eyesore on an iPad.
Aryan Khan
Thanks for keeping me well informed about the whereabouts of Aryan Khan. Now I feel very enlightened about the economic problems plaguing this country. Great content. Keep it up! My best wishes.
Forcing to consent sharing my privacy details!
Like all the others bully media ET is also forcing me to consent to share my privacy details to use the app.
I can use other apps who don’t bully it’s users. If you don’t change this condition of use then I might delete such stinky apps and relieve my device from wasted storage abd resource usage.
I must also mention that in my opinion, to me, you guys are a very selective, biased and far from neutral media.

Too little News, the app keeps stopping.
Compares to the Web version, this app lacks many news items. Also keeps stopping regularly. Removed it!
The app copies sensitive data
Every time I open the app, iOS14 notifies that the app accesses the clipboard.
Deleted the app

App Hangs when you play videos

Buggy
The news part is food but what happened to the portfolio functionality?
Auto rated itself before I could click anything
Like the title says, it showed me 5 star by itself and said “Glad you like our app” or something like that
Terrible ads app
While the app and its content is useful, the ads that pop up and the constant ad music is beyond annoying, deleting the app
Don’t force audio on us, it’s forcing to delete the app

User experience
E paper is not great, cannot zoom in and out properly, also if you zoom in doesnot show few news, thats annoying
Duplicate account created
Second account got created without any checks and balances. Very scary and I would like to stay away from it. Cancelled the account. Not sure if it will be really. Cancelled.
Premium has too many pop ups
Even after paying for premium plans that promise no ads, its frustrating to see pop on on every single page on the app to “upgrade” when I already paid for my new plan and have several months left.
Annoying subscription message
I have already paid for subscription. You still show me subscription message and again, like a fool I paid. And, yet, you still keep showing me those annoying subscription message! Why? Why cannot you have a decent app development team who can really build something that works?
Performance issues
Of late I am experiencing technical issues using this app on my iPhone X. It heats up and doesn’t load content quickly. Please look into it.
Too many ads
And mediocre quality reporting
Great News, terrible iPad interface...
I have nothing against the quality of the news however, they have been lazy and haven’t developed the interface for iPad users, it just gives the option to enlarge the screen only in portrait mode, similar to a low budget iPhone game.
I expect better from one of the leading financial news sources in India...
