Pop up ads are extremely aggravating!
The app is mostly fine, but sometimes there are video ads that pop up constantly over and over again while I’m trying to read an article. I keep having to swipe it away, only to have it pop back up literally two seconds later. It’s a terrible user experience. It would also be good if I didn’t have to keep logging in nearly every time I open the app. At least enable FaceID for it.

Search feature doesn't work, at all
Search feature doesn't work, at all. They post a story on instagram, yet when I open the app it's not the most recent, nowhere to be found, and the search feature "Search" button is broken with a message below saying "Currently, there are no saved searches." What does that even mean? To verify I even tried searching "Landry" and absolutely nothing happens. AND the Feedback option at the bottom of the settings list is broken! The option to "Write" does nothing. This needs to be fixed as I'm a paying subscriber and find the app impossible to use.

Just what I needed
Growing up in southeast Louisiana we have daily routines that mold our life ,and our newspaper is definitely one of them. There was never a day that I didn’t see the Times Picayune at the end of my driveway as a kid. Now I get to take it with me wherever I go. I was hesitant because I’m kind of a purist, but I know that the world has continued to move forward and to keep our publications going I subscribe and love it. The layout is great and I love the E-Edition of the paper. Thanks for keeping our paper alive and printing quality news .

Love my NOLA app
We love reading the paper again! We moved to MS and had to go buy a copy when we wanted to read the newspaper. My husband did not want to read it on the tablet. My sister ordered the e edition and raved about it. She said, “you read it just like the paper edition ”! I decided to order it and he loves it! No longer having to drive to get a copy! My sister says she no longer has to walk out the house in her pj’s to get her paper!

I enjoy an app that is updated regularly
I am grateful for this app. This seems to be the only one that updates regularly. The local tv stations update once in awhile and this was before the coronavirus emergency. Thanks
Enjoy
Covers a wide range of topics. It’s far better than similar apps for local news. For comparison, Mississippi Today, a local news source for central Mississippi, only covers a few stories every couple of days. NOLA covers many stories in just a day.
Semi okay ish as an app.
I love how they are generally first with the news. But when I click on the notifications it tries to charge me for a subscription to read the article and then I simply open the app and I can read the same article for free. Also many of the pics in the app are too small to view properly and you can’t click them to single them out and enlarge them. This is especially frustrating when dealing with weather issues, crime/shooting issues, and Saints football issues. Fix your app y’all!!! Please let us older folk click on pics and enlarge them!!!
Also, y’all need a second proofreader for grammatical errors. There seems to be a lot for a professional “paper” like y’all are. That’s a very minor thing and might speak more to my personality as opposed to your reporting. Thank you for doing what y’all do here locally!!!

Archaic UI/UX
This app feels extremely outdated. It’s not intuitive to navigate, the loading is buggy, ads regularly cover up content so that it can’t be read (even with a paid subscription), and it feels as though the design was driven by an attempt to shove a whole serif-y printed paper onto a single screen. Looks and feels like it was developed to coincide with the launch of iOS in 2007. Please please rebuild this thing from scratch.

where’s Dilbert?
this is a decent paper given the environment in which it functions. The app does have a tendency to keep asking me for my password (I pay a subscription to support the paper). I enjoy having both a live and a print edition online. I enjoy reading the comics, as I have since I was a child. Pop up adds can be a bit much but the paper thrives on ads so what are you going to do.
