User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise The Times of Israel for strong, informative coverage of Israel and the region, with many noting excellent reporting and useful live updates; paying for ad-free access improves the experience. However, the app is plagued by intrusive ads and hijacked reading experiences, frequent UI glitches that disrupt reading, and subscriber login issues that hamper commenting and continuity. The dominant sentiment is that content quality is high, but the reader experience is crippled by ads and reliability problems; stabilization and better ad handling are primary requests.
Pros
  • High-quality, informative coverage of Israel and the region
  • Strong live updates feature
  • Ad-free option significantly improves the experience for subscribers
  • Generally fast and intuitive when functioning properly
Cons
  • Intrusive ads and hijacked reading: frequent pop-ups, banners, and redirects to Safari (with security concerns)
  • App instability and reading interruptions: gray screens, constant reloads, and loss of reading position
  • Login and authentication friction for subscribers: repeated sign-in requirements and comments requiring login

They obviously are anti Trump and very biased in their reporting to the left. Not fair and balanced. Way to many ads

The app keeps logging you out and ads keep coming back and full of little ads that you keep tripping on. Just compare to a WSJ App and you will understand what I am talking about

Straight up doesn’t work or change anything about using the app. You log in, go to an article to try to comment, and it says you need to login to comment. Clicked on the link to login and did, still nothing changes. You need to fix this garbage you haven’t had an update in MONTHS. Not a single available coder in Israel???
