## Review summary

Users praise Haaretz for strong journalism and honest, balanced coverage, especially Gideon Levy and Palestine reporting. However, reviews converge on a problematic app experience: persistent ads and pop-ups disrupting reading, even for subscribers; repeated login/subscription glitches; and ongoing instability (crashes, freezes, ad loops, navigation issues). While content is valued, the app’s ad-heavy experience and reliability issues detract from the overall experience.

- Honest, factual coverage with balanced, multi‑perspective viewpoints (including Palestine)
- Highly valued by subscribers for depth and quality of journalism
- Covers a broad range of Israel-related and international topics with thoughtful analysis

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and pop-ups disrupt reading, even for paying subscribers
- Login/subscription recognition problems and sign-in loops
- Frequent app instability: freezing, crashes, and ad loops
- UX issues like unclosable overlays and navigation bugs
