Hindustan Times News Mobile App - Review
Everything today appears to be converging to a single point - Mobile phone devices! Email, web browsing, document viewing, etc have recently become such common features that certain doesn't even count them as a premium feature anymore. Using the very expanding arena of what you are able do with your mobile today, we provide you here an useful little app that merely adds more value for your handset.
The Hindustan Times
Mobile Application (titled mPaper) is really a light app that may be downloaded for your mobile phone and brings the most notable news stories for you on the move! I have been using this application for several months now and it has recently undergone upgrading that further refines its usability and performance. The applying is customizable depending on your preferences and you may select from a range of sections which in turn are customizable into categories that you would like to take on your app's homepage.
The sections on offer are - news, entertainment & lifestyle, columns & blogs and education. I choose the most used section for review here - The News Section. The app segregates news items into tabs including headlines, national news, world news, sport, city specific (Delhi & Mumbai) and business. You can select things that you would like to receive refreshed content for.
The news stories updation is reasonably frequent making this article quite fresh. You will find the option of clicking onto a news item that you would like to read more about, which opens up the story in full. The app even offers a news ticker scrolling at its top that highlights important and many recent news headlines. In addition, you could possibly leave your app running in the background plus you've got a scrolling ticker on your phone's home screen displaying recent news.
Even though the app has undergone an upgrade and is far superior to its predecessor, there still remain some glitches that could need focus on be resolved. In the first place, although the news is reasonably fresh, it doesn't compare to real-time breaking news stories that could be available on mobile enabled sites of leading news agencies. The news ticker particularly has to be updated far more regularly for this to have any relevance on your own home screen. Besides, the app if left on in the background for automatic refresh of the news feeds consumes a lot of your battery backup and exhausts it at a much more rapid rate. Again, for that app to be relevant for auto retrieval and a home screen ticker, it must work seriously on making it much lighter about the battery consumption. And last, additional aesthetic appeal would do no problems for an otherwise useful and innovative product. I might rate the app at 2.5/5 in its present form - a product or service worth trying for certain.
