  • The worst news app I’ve ever used

    I’ve never written a review before but felt compelled to here. The autoplay video ads and constant popup ads that you have to wait several seconds to close make the app unusable. I’ve been a loyal J-Post reader for years, 80% on the mobile app. I now read far less than I used to because of this terrible app. Fix it if you have any respect for your readers.

  • Headlines and nothing more

    There is no substance, no deep information to any of their news stories. They tell you what, when and sometimes who, but that’s it. It’s like news for 15-year-olds with short attention spans who only want to say, “did you hear what happened?” Read other news sources, you’ll do yourself a favor.
  • The app works sporadically

    I get a JPost notification and more often than not get a blank screen when I click on it. If you’re using the latest version of iOS expect to have all kinds of problems.
  • Great news, dozens of notifications

    JPost has great articles and coverage of Israeli and Middle Eastern news. However, this app send WAY too many push notifications. I regularly wake up in the US with more than a dozen notifications. It seems like every time someone writes an article, they send a push notification. That number should be limited to, at most, 2-3 per day (1-2 would be better).

  • Adequate

    This is the only adequately functional Israeli news app I have found. The others are seriously flawed. This one has reasonable news coverage, it’s fairly stable, and load times are fast. The full-screen ads are annoying but usually brief. I wish it were easier to see how to dismiss them. The list of articles jumps up and down as ads are displayed inline, which is annoying.

    Beware for those updating: the latest update wiped out all my saved bookmarks!

  • Ads are so intrusive and obnoxious

    The ads have become so bad I have deleted this trash. Better news sources. I get ads are needed but blocking everything each story for every building #'s of seconds is far beyond what I'm willing to put up with. Good riddance.
  • Needed features

    Just installed this for the first time. It runs fine on my iPhone XS Max. I have no complaints about how it runs. And the categories to the left and scroll bar on the top work great. But the Jerusalem post is more than just the latest news. What I’m looking for:
    1) I’d rather pay for the app than be subject to ads;
    2) I’m really looking for access to the archives, which again, would be worth paying for.
    So, nice job on getting rid of bugs, of which I am only aware based on reviews. And, please offer ad-free, & archive access. Get those past editions online!

  • Slow app

    I just downloaded this app yesterday and I need to delete it. I have never seen an outlet so slowly onto my iPad. It's extremely frustrating and not worth the effort. Is not my Internet as I have a really high speed, end it is not my iPad because I have no problem watching movies on my iPad. Bad bad app. It's unbelievable with the advanced technological expertise that exists in Israel that they can't make this app work better.

  • Good articles but app stinks

    Love the articles but keep getting ads that pop up and will not go away.

    The way they come up and stay makes me think it is a virus. Will no longer use this app. Although I love the paper.
  • Obnoxious app

    Possibly the most user hostile app I have ever seen, with full page takeover video ads with sound every minute. Totally irrelevant junk ads that can’t be dismissed for 5 seconds each time. Use this app if you are into self harm.
