  • One of the only real news outlets.

    I go to NYP to find out what is really going on.
  • I love the post!

    Lived in Manhattan 15 years… Back in the days when the times was A particularly good resource for truth and well researched journalism… Not so much these days

    In those days I also read the post more secondarily… These days I depend upon it for unbiased and truthful reporting.. who knew? Great job post I read every single day.. even though people continue to try to censor you, you are one of the last bastions of truthful investigative reporting. I am on board…

  • Was good for a while, but quality has declined significantly

    My biggest issue with the most current version is how easily it crashes and freezes, and how unresponsive it can be. Clicking on a menu takes at least 30 seconds before the action is performed and that section opens. Then another 15 seconds till you can start scrolling through articles. Click an article and it won’t open for 30 more seconds. Then when the article opens, the wheel spins for a bit before the actual article appears. Support was contacted, they responded once suggesting clearing the cache, I did that and it didn’t work, and never got a second reply after I let them know it didn’t work. The ads also dominate the pages, and sometimes run on repeat, forcing a closure of that article. Too bad, because I used to love reading the Post this way, but the overall quality of the app needs a lot of help to compete with other news sites.

  • Needs work

    I finally deleted this app after about seven years, the app constantly freezes for long periods of time (seconds to minutes) while loading advertising leaving the front page frozen and/or making it difficult to view the stories - the problem is much worse if you travel outside the NYC area. The app also consumes a ton of CPU while idle (if I leave the app open it will make the phone run hot and drain the battery). I can’t imagine a legitimate reason for a news app to burn that much CPU, I have long suspected the mobile ad networks they use try to mine crypto or something like that. For now on I’ll use Safari to browse the NY Post mobile web site which seems to solve all these issues.

  • Giving my favorite entertaining news app an uno hurts, but it’s not my fault,… read why

    It’s astonishing how poorly this app has come along from its first release to now. There’s virtually zero improvements whatsoever. The app itself is very glitchy, resource hogging (and constantly crashing due to enormous memory hogging of what I can only suspect are endless cookie injection attempts that are blocked by Apple but nobody has bothered to write exception codes in their web services buildout to properly convey their web content for their iOS app) and all in all poor performance on the iOS platform. The Page Six app is just a clone that narrows into Page Six and has different branding colors, but to be fair I’ll save that review for that app listing. They could’ve hired me to do this app as a joke and it would’ve been better for the iPhone 4s years ago.

  • Post App Better Than Daily News! EXCEPT ADS!

    The Post App, is user friendly. It’s easy to find the categories one is interested in! The NY Daily News App, doesn’t break down the categories in any way. One has to go through the entire paper looking for what you want to read about! Go Post! HOWEVER, I pay for the Post App, and I don’t expect ads to pop up that I can’t stop, that make a lot of noise, when I’m in bed and that could wake up my husband, and I can’t shut off the ads! NOT RIGHT!

  • Great new update, bad ads

    I love the new redesign of the app. It’s fresher and easier to read. However, I’ve noticed in the last week that if I click on a video to watch at the top of an article, there is a 30-second ad before the article video plays. Previously, I only saw 15-seconds ads and I didn’t mind them. 30-seconds is too long and I end up closing the app and looking elsewhere. Please limit advertisements to 15-seconds. Also, there is still the glitch that if you turn your phone horizontally while the ad is playing the video freezes. To resolve, you have to go out of the article and tap the video again to start it over. The phone can only be tilted after the ad is done playing.

  • Always crashes and Refreshes unexpectedly

    This app is so glitchy. I’ve had it for years and is usually one of my top go to news apps. It was always and ok app and I was never really annoyed enough with its intermittent glitches to write a review but recently the glitches have only gotten worse rather than better.
    It’s always intermittently refreshed pages while I’m in the middle of reading an article or just scrolling but now it also actually crashes and kicks me out of the app while I’m in the middle of reading an article or even while I’m only scrolling. I’ve cleared the cache several times and deleted and reloaded the app.
    Please update this apps bugs sometime soon as I’m ready to permanently delete it and I’m sure I’m not the only user experiencing this amount of frustration.

  • Just Keeps Getting Worse

    Just like all the other reviewers from the last couple of weeks, I too am frustrated by this app constantly closing and getting the front page news from three days ago.

    The new glitch in the matrix, if you can keep the app open long enough, is that you can now only scroll down to the 18th or 20th headline (story) and then you’re hit with a loading notice (with the circle of death) and no more headlines will load after that. I tested this today, I scrolled down to the 18th story and got the loading message, kept my iPhone on my desk for an hour and not a single story/headline loaded after the first 18…nothing!

    Please fix this.

  • One of my least favorite apps!

    This app is terrible. It just doesn’t work properly. You tap on it and it might open or it might not. If it opens, it might immediately close again. If it doesn’t do that, it will probably close shortly after I start reading an article, and almost always if I click on a video embedded in the story. It sends me emails with links to a story, but more often than not when I click on the link either nothing happens, or I get a message saying the article no longer exists. Yet if I go into the app, the story is definitely still there. I hate it.
