Comments on HBR Mobile for Android

★★★★★ Shamzeer Majeed · Feb 27, 2025

Business related feeds on a dedicated app. Very organized. Won't miss any articles unlike other news feed apps. Worth it

★★★★★ Nick Gkotsis · Feb 1, 2025

FINALLY, Android readers got a proper app. I've been waiting for this embarrassing for the HBR app to be updated and modernized.

★★★★☆ Shine Jaiswal · Jul 23, 2025

This is my favorite app. HBR should have included a multicolor highlighter, so I can highlight selected lines while reading.

★★★★☆ Marcos Avellan · Jun 6, 2023

I have no problem with the app. Most of the content is great. The content is a bit excessive on faddish topics, but that's probably to be expected from academics whose knowledge of what happens inside organizations is heavily based on media portrayals and interviews lol. That said, there are plenty of great pieces.

★☆☆☆☆ ana valdes · Jan 15, 2025

Does not recognize my paid subscription which includes digital even when I log in. doesn't seem to make the connection. So can't access any articles. Keeps asking me to subscribe. Should be able to recognize my account. I should not have to subscribe separately to the app. Going back to the website. Embarrassing that HBR can't figure out a working app

★☆☆☆☆ Craig Taylor · Dec 22, 2023

Terrible issues with notifications of articles not opening the article in the app. Poor implementation.

★☆☆☆☆ Kevin Lamken · Mar 8, 2026

Feed shows pay walled content... I subscribed, I didn't expect to be constantly shown articles I can't read without an executive subscription. And according to their support, there isn't a way to not see things my subscription doesn't include. At least I didn't pay a full year.
