About this app

Experience powerful business journalism that connects the dots with The Ken, Asia’s pioneering media publication. Read deeply reported, original stories, immersive podcasts and sharp newsletters from some of the best reporters and writers in the region, to understand not just the news, but why it’s happening, and what comes next.

Our top-rated mobile app is available only to premium subscribers. You’ll love it because:

Read our stories on the go : Browse, search and save stories you’ll want to read while you’re traveling, commuting, or on that flight, even without an active internet connection.

Never encounter a paywall once you have a subscription : Paywalled publications need you to be signed in all the time on your browser. On our mobile app, just login once, and it’s there all the time. We deep-link to our mobile app in all the emails we send, so this gives you a seamless experience.

Flip through stunning visual stories about businesses: Our infographics are as rich as the stories we write. If you are short on time, on the mobile app, you can simply flip through them and get the story. It’s perfect for those occasions when you want to visually understand businesses, without having to read longform articles.

Interact with other subscribers : Our community comprises some of the sharpest and most ambitious CXOs, leaders, executives and students. Read their comments, reply to them, and join the debate. All from your phone.

In addition, subscribers can gift and unlock stories to non-subscribers, and personalise their reading experience with features such as dark mode, font sizes and much more.

Access to The Ken is via a subscription, either individually or via your corporate team. You can also sign up for free to experience our journalism and products.
