User Reviews

Most reviews are negative. Repeated issues include paywalls and pricing, performance freezes and slow loads, lack of a usable search function, and a redesigned UI seen as less intuitive. Local coverage is often criticized as outdated. A minority praise the app for ease of use or online/digital edition access, but overall sentiment favors addressing reliability, accessibility, and local-news balance.

Pros

Easy to use / intuitive interface.
Online/digital edition access is valued by some users.
Some reviewers report a generally smooth experience with no issues.

Cons

Paywall and subscription issues / pricing concerns (paywall blocks, high costs, confusion over access).
Performance and stability problems (frequent freezes, slow loading, crashes).
Lack of search functionality / hard to find articles or search feature missing.
Redesigned app usability issues (less intuitive, poorer navigation, more ads).
Local news coverage appears outdated or inconsistent (older stories, reduced local focus).

And the writers are too. This paper is only for liberals and has no problem voicing their negative views of conservatives. I’m cancelling once my promotion ends.

I thought my older iPhone was the problem. I have new phone iOS 16 now & if anything the stories load slower than before. The website is clunky and difficult to use compared to my NYT app. Why?!
