The Ken users say on Google Play
Great writing. Experience could be better. My recommendations 1) You have a lot of what I call "money lines" in every article i.e. lines that make the article worth the subscription fee. So why can't we highlight them like we did before? Highlighted lines can also be given Tweet options. 2) People read Ken at different points in the day and I don't want to enter an article, realise I need to switch out of dark mode and then come out of the article to do it.
Glitches a lot, but great content. The app keeps closing whenever I open it. Hardly can navigate through the app at all.
Any subscriber to The Ken needs this app, and on the whole, it does an excellent job of helping me read their articles. But there is one really irritating, almost insulting, UX quirk. The app does not enable me to renew my subscription. When my subscription renewal is due, it simply refuses to show me articles, saying that I don't have a premium subscription active. It never gives me any warning when my renewal is about to become due. It does not allow me to even tap on a link and renew.
So many bugs. Sometimes scrolling bugs out and keeps pushing you to the top of the screen. Sometimes it tries to load a story in webview and bugs out. Sometimes tapping a story simply crashes the all. Sometimes going back from a story crashes an app. Overall a horrible experience, and there isn't an available PWA either. Will have to resort the website.
I have now uninstalled the app and will read the content only on my browser. I have two very massive issues with this app 1. Sometimes if I scroll after a long pause of 1 minute, this app will not recognise my input and I have to scroll again for it to scroll down. 2. Back button results in me exiting the app instead of going to the previous screen. Content is good but app isn't. Device is OnePlus 7 and Android version is Android 12.
