Harvard Business Review 4+

Overall, the app is pretty straightforward and enjoyable. What I dislike is having to keep signing into my account when opening the app. Worse is that I cannot use Face ID (I know, how lazy of me), but have to keep typing in my login information whenever I return to the app. The app and being able to navigate it otherwise are clean and as I would hope.

HBR Readers, if you are rating the mobile experience higher than a 3 (at best), you are truly doing yourself and cohorts a disservice. For such premium services, the mobile experience is lackluster to say the least.

HBR team, the details are here in your “real” reviews, just look at the low ratings. Features, structure, it’s all there - what real reviewers want to see in the app. For anyone who’s been reading this publication for any length of time, I’m amazed at the rating, actually use the app and try to be productive and look for articles you are notified of in the weekly emails, try and download one from the app for review/further research…basics. Again, app rating can’t possibly be better than a 3. Hopefully someone at HBR actually looks into the negative feedback, it’s a goldmine for you.

HBR articles used to be highly informative, thoughtful, and well-researched. They were solid essays, sometimes more valuable than the books written by the same articles in parallel.
There are still some of these articles in the magazines, but whether it’s the raising of my standards of knowledge testing or whether my perception is accurate, much of the content is almost completely irrelevant.
This app is worse than other media of HBR. Its search function does not yield expected results, and it is not an effective use of time to try to gain anything from this.
I have given this app second chances over the years when I am desperate for a piece of management research that is hard to find. I am leaving this review because I’ve decided to walk away permanently unless there is some major overhaul to the entire HBR network that brings them back to usefulness beyond pop culture.
