Great app, good design

Works well, loads fast, solid design, easy to find articles and sections, links to all online accounts, nicely done NYT

Freeze mode

I like this app but every few days it goes into a freeze mode where nothing happens, until you wait 45 seconds or so and it returns to life.

Best news app

The worlds best English paper has the worlds best app. Fast - regular updates - easy to navigate.

The benchmark for digital newspapers

If paper never existed and news was always delivered digitally, then the NY Times app would be the interface that everyone used to get the news. You can re-arrange every news section and read them in the order of preference and completely ignore the sections that are of no interest. Those with poor eyesight (like me) can enlarge the font-size. I also look forward to doing the daily Mini Crossword Puzzle. Having said that, nothing compares to sitting down with the newsprint edition on a Sunday morning with a cup of tea and two slices of toast. I did not give the app 5 stars because it lacks split-screen support (iOS 9).

Superb

Always up to date Loads quickly Good handle on the world

Great App and "Paper"

Love the app. Its clear, easy to read, like reading the paper with extras.

Overall impressive

The upgrade from the previous Editors Choice app is overall a welcome one. Performance had taken a minor hit, but thats an acceptable tradeoff. Text selection is mysteriously missing though. This means you cant easily look a word, or copy an interesting quote. Other minor gripes include lack of sensible video browsing by category and no cache-all-content for offline (e.g. on the subway) reading.

Serious performance drop

Used to be great but now nor only most of the site is no longer free but even for the tiny remaining version, navigation is soskow that it is meaningless. I deleted the app and switched to web surfing. Nyt needs to shake things up

Unacceptable

I have an iPad 1 & after an update on 7/5, the app keeps crashing on start up... This is completely unacceptable when you are charging on a subscription basis. Please update with fix immediately.

Sigh

Ok, here we go again: For reading newspapers, its scroll up and down to read that article, and scroll left and right to go to a different article or section. I have confidence that youll get it right eventually, NYT.

Not perfect but very good

I have been using this app ever since it first came out, and I am a big fan of the New York TImes in general. (I suppose this means I am somewhat biased.) The app has had its ups and downs, but I would say that it has been improving steadily overall. There was a period (right around the time iOS 5 first came out) that the app crashed so often on my iPad (original version) that I had to switch to using the Web site as an alternative. There have been several updates since then, so they are working to squash the bugs. The crashes are now much less frequent, and I would not be surprised if they do not affect iPad 2 owners as much. So though still far from perfect, this app is quite usable in its current form. I personally use it every day and could not imagine living without it (although I suppose I could revert back to the Web site or the Times Reader app on my Mac in a pinch). Highly recommended.

Bugged?

Since updating this, I cannot open the app on newsstand.

UI is good

Beautiful texts, nice interface, but once articles are updated the old ones are no longer available from this app. Because updates are very frequent and only limited number of articles appear after each update, this app is not good enough if withouht accessibility to archives.

Subscription

Cant discontinue the subscription, written twice already. Bloody incredible! Dont subscribe to NYT, because you cannot get out. beware!

Thats a shame.

Even though this can be the greatest app,the ad interrupts us to read. Its so frustrating,so in conclusion, it seems it demand us to pay to read the whole parts of the news.What a shame....

Black screen

I have enjoyed reading the New York Times daily until the last three days. For the last three days my IPad has opened the Times to a black screen. Please help. Thanks.

Cant access content

I have an active ipad subscription but cant access content. It worked before upgrading the app. It says to log in, so I do and get this error... Sorry, we could not complete your request. This offer may no longer be available or you may already have an active digital subscription. Please contact Customer Care at 1-800-591-9233 if you want to change your subscription type or for assistance placing an order.

Crossword gets better!

Huge improvement to the crossword puzzle. Love it. It deserves five stars easily only if it supported split screen multitask.

Not optimized to iPad Pro :(

Its resolution not fitted in iPad Pro. I want to view NYT via an optimized application.

Very high-quality

Really really fantastic newspaper. The editing is so good. The videos are wonderful.
