Nervig
Probleme beim Registrieren und beim Einloggen. Die App treibt mich in den Wahnsinn. Mal sagt sie, die Mail-Adresse sei nicht valide, dann entspricht das Passwort (angeblich) nicht dem geforderten Format, dann ist das Passwort „falsch“, dann gibt die App mir eine Erfolgsmeldung (dass ich erfolgreich eingeloggt sei) nur um mir zu sagen, dass ich mich einloggen müsste, sobald ich einen Artikel auswählen will… Morgen werde ich das Abo kündigen. Schade um das Geld.

Good content, bad app
Unacceptable to have pop up ads before going to content for such an expensive subscription. Half the time the pop up cannot be closed. How is it that a country that can precisely target Iranian generals in their beds can’t build a decent app?
Pop up ads? Really?
I pay about $20 a month for a Haaretz subscription in both English and Hebrew. So please explain to me why I have to sit through pop-up gaming ads to access articles that I’ve already paid to read like they’re Grindr profiles. Although I hate them, I understand and can tolerate the periodic banner ads (journalism ain’t cheap!). But timed pop-up ads? That’s a slap in the face to your paying subscribers. Please don’t waste our time like that. It only gives us more time to contemplate unsubscribing.

Non-Accessible on iPad
I cannot access Haaretz app because there is no way to close the popup ad for chair yoga. I pay money for this?
Ergonomy? Why?
This app is the typical result of a company dwelling in browser land not understanding how to present information on a mobile device. I would like to give zero stars for not having a settings item where one can change the font and font size. At least I could not find it. This app will serve in my #UX lecture on how not to create an app.

Trap Ads / Hidden Exit / Forced Interaction Obstruction
The ad covers the entire screen, blocking access to the app.
• The close button (X) is:
• Deliberately hard to find (very small, transparent, or placed at screen edges where it’s hard to tap)
• Non-functional, or worse,
• Positioned outside the safe/interactive zone on iPhones—where the notch, status bar, or swipe areas are.

Formatting doesn’t work with iPhone mini
I subscribe because I think Haaretz does excellent reporting, but I can’t get the app to work on my phone. The overlay ads are impossible to close because the “x” button lies outside my small screen.
Rare source of news
I am a proud Palestinian in diaspora. I find this news source to be a rare honest and factual source of news about the occupied Palestinian land, otherwise known as Israel. Western news outlets do not even try to hide their lies about Palestine, Haaretz shines through those dark times. It is, however, very disappointing that it requires a subscriptions I will get this news source from Apple News instead of paying a hefty subscription fee. Please continue with the honest news reporting and u covering the crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinians and their stolen land.

Buggy navigation
App version 5.90 (May 2025) navigating back from wherever you are (article, menu, sub-menu, reading list, etc.) navigating you double back. It makes it a super bad experience.
Such an obvious and easy to detect bug shouldn’t have made it into production. Please improve your app quality.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the inconvenience. This bug will be fixed in the upcoming version.
IS THERE A WORLD BEYOND ISRAËL
It seem since quite a bit of time that for Haaretz the world is just something which hardly exist beyond Israel and if so revolves around Israel. Not good for a great newspaper.
Terrible customer service
Great journalism but subscription services are fraudulent
Why is the loading screen still a flashbang when the app is set to "dark mode"

Cookies
Need to set the cookies every couple of weeks. No way to reject all so you have to do it individually.
@Haaretz why can’t this be adjusted.

Gideon Levy is the most honest journalist in Israel!
I subscribe to Ha’aretz mainly to read the brilliant articles written by the great, the humane, the ELOQUENT, Gideon Levy. Yes, I am proud to call Mr. Levy a friend, and, I am thrilled that Ha’aretz sees that he is an INTERNATIONAL TREASURE! May God bless Gideon Levy and his loved ones and may God protect Ha’aretz!

Left wing Views
As a centrist, I like to read views on both sides. While this definitely leans left, I think they do so fairly. Easy to navigate app.
Stuck on Advertisement
The app starts by displaying an that cannot be dismissed. I am a subscriber and can’t get past the advertisement.
Good information source, but…
Every time when opening the app I need to confirm the data protection settings. All "legitimate interest" is ON. There is no option to switch off all in one "Refuse" button, but to agree all is possible. I need to scroll down and switch off all separately, there are dozens.
I am a subscriber and pay monthly.
Please add a button: Disagree all.

May 16th 2024 EST 9:34AM ---------------------------------------- UPDATE : May 26th 2024 EST 11:30pm iPhone 14 Pro it was because of an iOS update I needed to do that I was unaware that fixed the issue after update was iOS 17.5.1 It was not a technical on your side.

Great news outlet but awful app
App does what it wants. I keep getting news flashes of old articles I already read. I also can easily navigate to certain articles. There seem to be 2 main options for navigation but it’s hard to find your way away from those 2 pages. Can’t always open images up to see captions. Sometimes when you click on a news flash in the live updates it takes you to whatever it fancies showing you. The writing gets 4.5 out of 5 but the app gets 0!

Worst digital news app Login for PAID!
Constant reoccurring problems over 3 different subscriptions over the years.
I had cancelled my subscription two times previously because of login problems with paid subscription.
I tried it again because I really wanted to have more insight into Israel viewpoints.
Once again i paid for a one year subscription and downloaded the app and lo and behold I can’t login as the page is not operable for input.
Technical Incompetence?
It’s a reoccurring issue with Haaretz.
