Vikatan Reviews

I renewed my yearly subscription last week through Apple Pay. But still am not able to access my subscription content until now. When reached out to their support they are asking for an invoice from Apple. Why do I need to provide evidence while they can simply verify their records if they think there was a problem with my transaction. Been a subscriber for years... while they are verifying their system they could simply grant temporary access to the content until its resolved. Any good business will do that. Losing faith! They just lost a subscriber. They are in mail order days in a digital age! Beware!!

My mother used to use Vikatan regularly on her iPad - iOS version 12.5.7 - and was happy until two months ago. We don’t know what happened but we think it’s one of the updates. Vikatan started slowing down, getting worse every time and now it has become downright unusable. We uninstalled, cleared space and reinstalled. Now it is stuck in the red screen for a number of days. We are a long term customer and this is unacceptable. We don’t want to bad mouth but as a paying customer when something is not working, it leaves a bad taste

I renewed my subscription the start of the month in March and my account didn’t get updated. I wrote a review here 1st week of March and they responded by asking me to send an email or call a number. When I wrote to that email id with payment acknowledgement screen shot 15 days back they didn’t even acknowledge. I have been calling the number they provided almost daily and no one picks up. Does that mean I have to write off the 40$ to this app??????? Where should escalate this?

I have been using Vikatan for the past few years and I see that Vikatan doesn’t respond or load the data when you use over a period is time(months). This happens frequently and had to delete and reinstall Vikatan in the last few months.

The new app is terrible. Though the design is good and reading magazine without downloading are good features, but it keeps hanging whenever scrolling down the news. I strongly feel the loading of ads are the main reason. Why ads are allowed in my paid subscription?. Please fix this as soon as possible. I’m not happy at all with this new app.

I am a subscriber of this app since they started digital subscription. Features with Vikatan and contents are great. Even though I am a lifetime subscriber I am currently not able to access Vikatan due to inactivation of account. I don’t have a way to contact digital support via email/ phone to activate. App support phone number takes note of caller but never get call back. Above rating is related to support.

Sir ,
I am a senior citizen.I have made a best decision to subscribe it.I get to read all and keep myself up to date with current days.
Thank you .I wish to suggest for sakthi this app to make a series on shakthi peet temples and it’s stories.
Thanking you,
Revathy krishnamurthy.

After updating to latest app version 4.2, I’m not able to view magazines of all months by scrolling as before. I’ve used filter option to view a particular magazine for a year and month (e.g. Ananda this app for August 2021). But I’m not able to see the edition for August 31, 2021. Looks like it’s assuming 4 weeks for a month.

I subscribed to this app 3 year plan with iPad view. I am not able to open the magazines in iPad. I mailed the this app team, but no response. Better not to subscribe to ipad version. Apps having problem is not new. But there is absolutely no support. BEWARE

Very nice formats and easy to use
Loads properly and able to read with required font size
As always this app’s news content are the best

this app Management , Are you listening these many people comments...why should pay twice?..Let see all online magazine/newspaper subscriber plan.

Definitely improved from previous version, the current this app app has ease of navigation and loads up fast.

I like Vikatan specially the book experience. I get access to old issues. So far no issues with navigation. No complaints. Thank you this app team. Well done on app.

Just on political stand stay as a journalist don’t seek your ideas. Compare to 10 years back the content quality went down. It’s supporting one side of parties more than other.

Big kudos to IT team amazing job. If you get the social interaction story well this app will become voice of Tamil.

Of late, Vikatan has been crashing a lot while clicking on newly published article links. This is frustrating to say the least.

Recent redesign of this app app is very good and it has very clean look and easy to navigate to different areas and access all tabs. Bookmark option also available to use and that’s a good feature. Overall nice improvement!!

I like it
If possible try avoid the ads based on premium paid customer and free readers

Why would a paid customer listen to your AD? Thanks for listening

App is freezing often in iPhone 6 Plus. Get a good UI designer. See how Flipboard is designed. The back button on the top left is too tiny to touch and blends with the background and becomes invisible-when the header background is light color.

Vikatan has become very worse.. if you just need advertisement to roll over, please go ahead; why bother to insert news articles between them? How many times to restart Vikatan to read one news?

Well designed to read all magazines

Update Dec 21 - Useless app updates & iOS app crashing

Many fixes are made and Vikatan is performing fine now. Lots of features missing from the previous version Suddenly Vikatan is crashing. Not able to read magazines. It's not at all starting. Very frustrated.

This has been there for a month app crashes and struck when we scroll the any to article to read
