Leave a Review New York Post for iPhone
New Ad integration is a bit much
I don’t mind watching a few ads in apps that I feel bring good and valuable content. If the monetization assists in maintaining the delivery of that content it is well worth the few minutes of advertising then so be it. But the Post’s newly rolled out ad strategy in the iOS app is a bit much in terms of the length of some of the ads. I realize that these aren’t necessarily curated by the post but forcing me to watch a god-knows-how-long advertisement for a game (multiple times) as I use your app is painful. By all mean monetize … but maybe work with your ad platform to ensure shorter ads.Show lessJohn_9922
Major App Glitch or Terrible Decision?
The app repeats stories as you scroll. You think there’s a whole big list of stories, but they are all the same, just repeated in a different order. And you start to think you’re crazy, asking yourself, “Didn’t I see this already?”
It’s an insulting waste of our time, and a crude way to try to get us to scroll more. It’s maddening. And not good for mental health.
They wouldn’t repeat stories in the print version, so why do it here? Grow up NY Post. And please only list stories once. Like a responsible newspaper should do.Show lessMonroe Mann
Great news. Aggravating app.
The app is decent in many ways, with one exception that will make me delete it. When one is reading the latest stories, there is *often* an update that suddenly changes focus from the headline being read to the top of the page. This happens quite often, with no way to continue reading except to scroll down through a myriad of headlines already noted. By the time the original place is found, another “update” occurs. I’ve found that I simply don’t want to read the Post any more. Maybe browser reading will be better.
Now, (late 2022) full page ads pop up. That would be tolerable if they had a way of getting back to the story. Some do, but others have no discernible way of exiting to return to the story. Again - great news, horrible app.Show lessDavidGdad
Developer Response
Thanks for reaching out. While ads are necessary to support the free phone apps, we do appreciate how disruptive they can be to the reading experience. After receiving a fair amount of similar feedback to yours, we moved those larger, full-page ads back to where they were before after the 5th and 10th stories. The ads also remain frequency capped at 2 of those ads per session/day. Thanks again for taking the time to share your opinion, we hope you remain a loyal reader.Breeding ground of hate
The comment section is nothing more than a bunch a conservative conspiracy theorists praising Trump and DeSantis.MatCYSTM
App ads
This used to be such a wonderful app to navigate and get all of my reliable news. Now every minute or so I keep getting these pop up ads for a PlayStation golf sim game that is beyond annoying, can’t be clicked off, and even if I indulge the ad by clicking and going to their page, Still can’t clear the ad and have to keep waiting. Have never minded your quick ads prior (you need revenue) but this one is beyond intrusive, constantly repeating, and in fact is so annoying that I stopped patronizing TopGolf because their name is splashed all over the ad that has been annoying me daily for a couple weeks now. Getting close to deleting this app if this isn’t a one off and is becoming the norm. Pray not.Show lessToplinesportsny
Slow
Takes a long time for stories to loadPanicpuppy
No way
I downloaded the app because the NYP can have some good, different stories to read. Then I read the first few reviews that came up, they were all bad except one that was from over 2 years ago. I then decided to switch the view to read the most recent reviews and they were even worse. After reading about the various problems people described, especially all the ads and the difficulties simply trying to read one article, I knew this app was not right for me. It’s probably not right for a majority of people that may decide to try it. Anyway, I downloaded the app but no way am I going to load it - reading the reviews is enough!Show lessJokaaah
Good not great
I generally like the app and would give it more stars but for a few extremely annoying aspects. First, pop up ads and videos that are impossible to stop and/turn off without clicking on them, which takes you to the advertiser (advertisers - hope you don’t pay by the click). This has gotten increasingly worse. I used to be able to control this but no longer. Second, is the Top News and Latest Stories tabs, combined with failure to refresh with new articles. Instead, they are usually just shuffled over the course of a day. Plus there is no real difference between top news and latest stories - it is the same 10 articles, just in a different order. The other categories rarely change their stories over the course of a day, which defeats the purpose of an app. Need some variance and more updating in all of this. Also need more content checking - misspelled words, missing words at times is understandable with breaking news but not when the article is up for more than a few hours. Despite the foregoing, I still use this app all the time and like it because, overall, the content is different from what you get elsewhere. But the increased pop ups and videos may cause me to delete the app.Show lessKatniss821
So much better …
Then reading stories on a browser. Rocksolid.shaxer
Hunter Biden
Are you not at all embarrassed at your refusal to concede that Hunter Biden’s laptop DOES exist, until you couldn’t deny it any longer. Now you refuse to admit there is actually evidence of the link between Hunter and his worthless father’s entanglement with the Chinese government and the transfer of millions of dollars to line the Biden family pockets while granting special consideration. Since it only took you 2 years to finally admit your failure to provide the PUBLIC with the actual truth, I’m sure you will avoid any semblance of honesty in reporting the latter. This is not about political affiliation. JUST report the truth, oh, I forgot, you are in the business of subverting the truth until you can no longer deny it, then you merely push it to the side writing that you just discovered new evidence. You would do the world a great service by closing you news network down. And by “NEWS “, I mean that in the lowest bar possible comparing your information reporting,
to the rag papers sold in supermarkets.Show lessGS-ASAP
