Just sad how bad the app is. Poor design: large non-descriptive images with a few words of the headline. Feels like click bait techniques. Not much I can do to easily tailor to my interests. Pretty useless really.
The content is great , I find myself opening the app but getting frustrated that all I see is a giant picture and a handful of words (the headline) but since there is not room for the whole headline, I left to guess at what the article is about. This sounds crazy that I am the only one annoyed by this. It seems like a much more practical layout to make the photos half the ridiculously large size they are now and include the entire headline. We are choosing to read the content afterall.
Very bad app, cannot unsubscribe unless you use play store. Do not subscribe, you'll have nightmares!
Totally useless apps with such poor design showing large picture with only a few letters of the headline. No way to sort, filter or select areas of interest. This can't be the official app from the Forbes magazine company. Has to be scam and took my $29.95 subscription fee. Total waste.
Clunky interface that almost seems to actively resist loading articles or new content, coupled with what appears to be medium specific subscription services such as web only, play store only, really makes it hard to quantify this as a good choice if you already have a subscription. Additionally, by neglecting filters and instead relying on what's popular in the app makes it a hard sell; seeing the same Taylor Swift article 5 times as I scroll doesn't exactly give me business magazine vibes
This rating is particularly for the mobile app, though the contenta are superior standards as always, the app is not smoothly operating one. It's crashing, taking time to load , at times some buttons won't even open. I've not trouble operating any other applications.
As many had said in reviews. Is not worth the subscription at all, with weak to no support. Sadly if you purchase subscription for website, is not usable with the app, the restore feature does not work. Seriously can consider other services.
Publication is great, app is terrible! Constantly logged out and extremely difficult to log back in. If you signed up anywhere but the app, good luck! You'll need it. This app needs developers, badly. It's embarrassing a publication like Forbes can't keep up in the digital world. And support? Only if you can actually get the app to let you send a request! (And before some snarky response gets posted by Forbes staff, my subscription is under a different email.) Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G
I enjoy the sheer variety of articles in Forbes.
I haven't tried this app, I only installed it so I can leave Forbes a bad review. Just tried reading an article on browser and it didn't let me read past two paragraphs before making me pay up or gtfo. Seriously how am I supposed to determine if it's worth it to subscribe from two paragraphs? That's the first time I've hit a Forbes link this year too, so it's not like I read four articles for free already. If their website is any indication this app is just a cash grab from capitalism shills. Fu
Bought out at the start of 2020 by a private Hong Kong investment firm! Their articles are all just silly jibberish nowadays, written by unknown and awkwardly ESL staff, with no legit. journalists and no merit. The articles deliberately give no actual data, but only round about opinions that claim they're based on facts, without sharing what those facts are nor giving any sources. So basically all lengthy time wasting personal opinions based on nothing and very poorly translated from Chinese.
Subscribed 2 weeks ago but the app still says I have to pay for content. After a week of contacting various email ads the only reply I have is from Forbes CS to say its not their problem, apparently the app is through a 3rd party digital vendor. Do not waste your money
Extremely comprehensive with balanced perspectives.
Seriously Forbes? Can't even log in. I tried changing password, etc. Then I read the app reviews to find out this is the norm. I deleted the app. For a publication as respected and trusted as Forbes is, the app is quite an embarrassment. Please fix it soon. Could be a deal breaker for the future of our relationship... regardless of how good your content might be.
The writing and article content is excellent. The app itself could bother remembering my login, though.
I read Forbes on PC with subscription but still the ads are annoyingly big, flashy, distracting and irrelevant to the point I will never want to click on it.
I like how this news source stays atleast a little bit unbiased but it does take a lot of time before each article loads. (For me it normally takes 60 to 120 seconds)
Quick reads, mostly unbias views (not the fault of the app, however). I get the news I want and need, and didn't even know I wanted! I have found nothing negative to say about this app. Thanks!
I would like to add a Digital subscription but Customer Service (from CDS Fulfillment) said it is for iTunes only. So does that mean that Digital sub will not work with this app? If so, what is the purpose of this app if we can't read the magazine? No answers from Dev?
Nice enough app but uninstalling. I can't stand unnecessary alerts and notifications and there's nothing (obvious) in settings to turn them off. They just add them by default so thanks but no thanks.
The app is okay. I would give it 4 stars, but it seems you are unable to use your subscription purchased from the Play Store on a Apple device.
Forbes is a good source of information, still getting used to the app.
I have seen the same issue raised by user and guess HBR app team is simply acting equivalently inefficient. Just of many : I am getting internet error while accessing articles ...
The user interface isn't comfortable to use.. Please divide your news based on the topic that discussed. I think it will give you better review👌 I'll give 5 stars too if you fix this issue😁
Been watching everything forbes for yrs. And i am so glad there is an app to help me keep up on all things business ideas, money, investment, etc
This app, I am not happy. I accidentally subscribed this and when I am trying to cancel it is not allowing to sent any mail
The ads that fit within the article throw off my reading at times, but it's a great app otherwise
Can't login with my existing subscription. Constantly get a "an error has occurred" message.
If you search for any list or any query...it doesnot put forth accurate results....sometimes it doesnot responds.
One of the hopeless applications - never download, fraudulents - they don't update the new edition each month and neither can you get refund based on Google Store policies. So its as good as you lose your subscription cost for the year. Support doesn't solve any issues either. No new content updates after the subscription amount is deducted.
