I could not find a reading mode suitable for mobile devices. Currently the pages are viewed identically to the print edition. They are multiple columns with insets and overlays... Unreadable even on a Samsung Note!
I don't understand why this app doesn't let you save articles like you can do on the website. Also, reading articles is like flipping through a grocery store weekly rather than a real digital experience. I uninstalled almost immediately.
Terrible Reading Experience: Its not an e reader oike Amazon's Kindle app. All it does is provide digital versions of the magazine that you have to pinch in order to magnify the page. Otherwise, its unreadable.
Please, this is HARVARD business review, can you get a better app? In order to read one page, we have to zoom in and because of the double colum page set up, sometimes it is difficult to read even after zooming in.
Terrible Application. You expect more from HBR, specially for subscribed members. But it is just as horrible as everyone else says. A message to HBR: either remove this app or upgrade it. Thanks.
No updates for over two years! Finally died and won't even open on my phone because it is no longer compatible.
Won't open on Pixel 3. Seems the app is so old it won't even work on the latest version of Android.
Horrible app. Won't let me open and there are no updates since 2018. Very dissapoimted as a subscriber.
is this supposed to be usable from a mobile device? It's fairly useless it's very hard to read and navigate.
I dont understand this app. HBR has thousands of articles online that I can access with my subscription and they created an app to (poorly) view their print magazine? Go look at the app Pocket if you dont have any new ideas for a real app of your own.
Not intuitively designed. You have to learn it.
It's a shame hbr doesn't have a decent app.wont even open any more on the latest Android release.
Doesn't work on pixel 3 because the app is so outdated.
Old version, doesn't work on Android 10
Too old APIs! Update and adapt the new Android Q!
Wasn't a great UI, but now it just force closes...
Doesn't work on current phones (Galaxy S9)
Not optimized for Mobile at all
Couldn't even log in, terrible.
CANNOT UNINSTALL UNLESS YOU GO THROUGH PLAY STORE! GARBAGE!! THIS IS HARVARD?
i think is a good app
This app has the design language of Android from 2011, this thing looks and feels super old and not very useable. Features of the app are not sized correctly to fit the screen of the device in many cases, so something that was clearly made for tablet looks like trash on your phone. All around very disappointed with this app. You're better off just going through their mobile website.
It's rare that I have a worse reading experience today in an e-reader than with traditional media, but this definitely was. As a thought leader, one might think HBR might lead the way in practice as well, but you have translated the traditional media experience so literally that you fail to take advantage of the affordances of technology. Please don't limit the zoom feature in the app. When read from a mobile device, your text is still too small. Please allow for some interaction with the text such as highlighting and notes. It would also be nice to be able to copy a limited portion of the text and when it is pasted, it automatically includes the citation. This is just e-reader 101. I appreciate being able to take this information with me to the gym, but I found that it was virtually unusable when I got there.
I was weary downloading this app as the ratings are poor, but I find this app to be great. You can read articles and full issues in the app and if you want access to your library, you can click the web icon to log into your HBR account. I will agree that the content could default to a slightly larger size when reading on a phone, but other than that, it's been working fine.
This is absolutely the worst app that I have seen. Really expected more from HBR. There is no point in providing specific feedback as this app needs to be completely redesigned
I expected more from HBR. This is by far the worst app I have come across. Makes me question the Harvard brand. Please catch up with technology asap!
Doesn't work - always crashes
Part of my auto renewal subscription is an updated iPad and android app? False advertisement. Terrible app.
HBR continues to make the worst apps, which is ironic given that they publish business cases. I doubt anyone from.HBR has seen or used this app. don't bother to download it. they have just scanned the articles, there are no hyperlinks. you can not adjust the font size. good luck reading without glasses.
