A bit over the top.
This is not a measured publication, but one more in the British style of attack dogs on anything liberal. It's not a balanced view point. There are good journalist here, you just have to hunt and peck for it.
Buggy, lacking features
Am forced to sign in multiple times/day. No feature to save articles or allowance to share articles with non subscribers. Can do both on Globe & Mail app.
CNN of the North
The post Fake News
Thumbs up
The last unbiased news outlet left in Canada. Reporting regularly on actual news in an unbiased capacity
Ads but no access
The app is full of ads that you see but there is no access to any articles without subscription. What’s the point? There should be some free content given the ads. It is a right leaning newspaper.
Read to me
Why does the National Post have such a poor read to me feature the global mail basically will read every article to you with a good voice and very clear allocution. The National Post read to me feature is frankly a disaster and I can’t use it because it works so inconsistently and unsatisfactory.
Great Content
Enjoying the new online subscription immensely
Slower Than A Turtle
I much prefer the content of National Post but the loading of content is slower than a turtle. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app several times and no change. The top sectional loads in a somewhat reasonable time (compared to a 256k modem) but the other sections below just show Loading Context. It’s painful. Financial Post is the same

Ads but no access
It is a well laid out right leaning news paper. Definitely not neutral. I watched a number of ads on the site but still don’t have access to any of the articles. I felt used.
No access to comments
Why should I subscribe. I want to support this paper but comments are blocked on the app. I need to go to Google news to view.
Frozen
This is the worst app on my phone. Often freezes, sometimes even the phone. I cancelled a subscription early 2024. A $20 offer for a year tempted a new subscription but alas - got what I paid for.
Home page resets to top, no indication of viewed articles
After reading an article and clicking the navigation arrow in the app to return to the previous home page, it always resets or automatically scrolls up to the top of the page instead of staying where I was in the feed. Annoying to have to scroll down through headlines to get back to where I was. Indication of previously read articles would be helpful.
Also I agree with others that the app randomly signs me out frequently.

Anyone There?
Content is good but the app???
I get a notification that it needs updating on iPad, iPhone poor
Maybe they are closing their online door. Maybe MetroNews bought them
I am Out

Response from developer
Hello, Sorry for the delay in updating our app! It has been way to long but please check out the latest version and let us know what you think. Thanks for reading!
UX/UI
It’s surprising to me that there is no search on the phone app. Also when I see an article on Twitter that I like and click on it for some reason, it doesn’t remember my username and password and I have to go to the app and find the article. Impossible. For a 21 century news organization this is unacceptable.

Brutal Customer Support
Can’t sign in to the app. Have sent multiple emails to “app support”, “customer service”, even “marketing”…no response from anyone. Paid my money, can’t fully use the app, can’t get a reply…nice business model. On top of that, the app layout is wretched and ads are riddled throughout. It’s a dog’s breakfast…what a mess.

Not good
App is very bulky. Seems like I’m on the national post website. Swipe controls are missing to go and forth on articles. Menu is too cluttered.
Needs to be redone and trimmed.

Despite ads still cannot read articles
The paper is right biased but has good critical articles on a national level. The problem is that the app shows you many ads but you still are not permitted to read the articles without an account. Makes no sense.
Possibly the worst app I’ve ever used.
This is definitely the worst news app I have ever used. It’s possibly the worst app I’ve ever used. I can’t read stories on it on either of my phones without it freezing my phone.
Bad App
I can’t sign it! It’s just a spinning wheel when I type in my email address. Contact form doesn’t work either
