User Reviews

Users generally praise the app for its true print-like experience with readable pages and early delivery, but frequent crashes, update regressions, sign-in friction, unreliable offline access, and navigation/layout changes significantly hinder consistent use.
Pros
  • Faithful print replica experience that mirrors the newspaper layout.
  • Easy to scan and read with clear text and photos; straightforward navigation.
  • Digital edition arrives early (as early as 2am) for convenient reading.
  • Perceived cost savings compared with traditional print.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and failure to load the current edition; requires restarts or reinstall.
  • Bugs and regressions persist across updates; improvements are inconsistent and sometimes revert.
  • Login/sign-in problems (Google sign-in not supported; repeated prompts and sign-in loops).
  • Offline reading/download issues; content not reliably accessible offline and online access is often required.
  • Navigation/layout issues and compatibility concerns (full-page view, broken article links, discontinued article-level view; iOS 17 compatibility noted).

All of a sudden it only appears in half-sized mode. Can’t enlarge it.

Many times per month, I have to restart my iPad (new, so it’s not the iPad’s fault) to get this app to work and load the day’s issue. Sometimes it won’t let me print out the sudoku or crossword. It used to work a LOT better. I really like reading the TIMES on my iPad, so would like the app to be smoother. I have deleted and re- downloaded the app. But the bugs persist.

This ongoing problem persists with each update. Occasionally it gets fixed but reverts after updates. Please fix this ongoing problem.
