Reviews for HBR Mobile

I signed up for the monthly subscription on the HBR mobile app which costs $9.99 a month. When I processed, it said I already have an active account. I tried to input my email and zip code and it said it did not recognize my email address. I typed it in carefully and multiple times. I immediately went to my subscription to cancel. Now I have to wait to see if it will charge me for content I haven't even read.

What has happened?! I have a premium subscription but can't use the new app at all. No issues until the update but now I get 'subscription not found. It's a badly badly designed UI (you have to scroll across rather than down for some things), pushed to select things that interest me just to get notifications, olno previous issues and so on. It's really poor. Might as well use the mobile webpage so what's the point of the app?

Amazing app. If you have a subscription its absolutely essential. You can view articles, magazine, podcasts etc and save them to view later. You can download articles as PDF, crop articles and share. It could have a better user interface but overall its a lot better than the the recent reviews, which is why I wrote this.

Please do not subscribe to this. Despite many emails sent to the app developer and publisher, they're just pushing the responsibilities to each other and up to now I'm still not able to sync my login to the paid membership. It's really a crappy app with lousy customer service. Paid USD10 for NOTHING, not a single login and I've just cancelled it. Please do not sign up and frustrate yourself with such lousy service.

While you can save articles from each issue, it often forgets where you are if you stop reading an article halfway through and come back a few days later. The search functionality is very poor, and the same search phrases on Web will yield far more results (including from sister articles like Aspire). There is also no way to "bookmark" or save these aspire articles in the app (though you can do so online). HBR needs to look at the user experience on Web and replicate it in their app journeys

Absolutely maddening. I log in as a subscriber. Then it asks you to connect to your other online account, which apparently I have. I don't remember my password, so I try to reset. It tells me I have to reset wherever I made that account. Then I try to skip, which is also an option, but then the whole app closes. Worthless. Can't use it. On pixel 4 and Android 10.

Simply, I cannot log in, though I can read it on the web with the same credentiala. One of the worst apps I've even experienced. LE: it is difficult to rate this garbage because I cannot actually log in most of the time. It is a waste of time. I could log in using the web, but the app is appalling. I would be ashamed to be the one who owns this app, especially that the situation is at least one year old. I did clean the cache, reinstalled the app, nothing!

I can't log in. I can't create a new account because then it won't recognize/activate my subscription. When I write into support, I can expect at least a week for a reply (as much as 3!), and when I get that reply it's giving me a bunch of complicated instructions on how to proceed depending on where I bought. Now the app is constantly crashing when I try to follow those instructions. I rarely write 1-star b reviews but this is ridiculous. Does HBR even know their developer's support does this?

When you search for articles that are clearly on their website to save them they don't appear. When I try to save directly on Google Chrome (mobile) I'm asked to login EVERY SINGLE TIME but when I get to login screen I'm signed in. Once I go back to the article though I'm signed out. Seriously considering just cancelling my subscription...

SCAM ALERT!!!!! I paid for a subscription through this app but could not log on to view articles. Support told me it takes 48 hours to activate account (which is how long it takes to also get a refund on the payment from Google). I never got the activation email. So I emailed support through this app and was told to contact HBR directly for my subscription. I responded but support has since gone silent.
