It's not a balanced view point. There are good journalist here, you just have to hunt and peck for it. ### 2/5 — Buggy, lacking features *2026-08-29* 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. ### 2/5 — Slower Than A Turtle *2026-05-28* 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 ### 3/5 — Ads but no access *2026-05-12* 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. ### 2/5 — No access to comments *2026-04-13* 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. ### 3/5 — Home page resets to top, no indication of viewed articles *2026-02-27* 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. ### 2/5 — Anyone There? *2026-01-02* 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 **Developer response:** 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! ### 3/5 — 1 *2025-11-29, version 7.7.0* 12 ### 2/5 — Not good *2025-11-05* 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. ### 2/5 — Despite ads still cannot read articles *2025-11-05, version 7.7.0* 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. ### 4/5 — Very good app *2025-04-21, version 7.3.0* Need better sharing abilities to share on your favorite plateform. You need to recopy manually the title of the article ### 3/5 — Landscape view *2025-04-15, version 7.2.0* Only has portrait mode why no landscape view when rotated ### 1/5 — Slow/Crashes Constantly *2025-04-10, version 7.2.0* I’ve been living with this slow, bloated poorly written app for too long but when it froze my iPhone last week I finally had enough. Deleted. ### 1/5 — No good *2025-03-27, version 7.2.0* This app is slow to load and also cuts off my headphones every time I open it. ### 1/5 — Garbage content *2025-03-14, version 7.2.0* This is not journalism. Journalism should be impartial. This is right wing newspaper. This is garbage. I will delete the app and never read their content. ### 2/5 — A bloated slow app *2025-02-22, version 7.2.0* What a pain to use this app. It’s slow and hangs - who knows why but I guess due to ad loading. It’s actually not a good looking app and a slow browsing and reading experience. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — CNN of the North *2026-08-10* The post Fake News ### 1/5 — Ads but no access *2026-07-24* 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. ### 1/5 — Read to me *2026-06-11* 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. ### 1/5 — Frozen *2026-03-24* 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. ### 1/5 — Brutal Customer Support *2025-11-21* 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. ### 1/5 — Possibly the worst app I’ve ever used. *2025-11-03* 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. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2025-08-03* I can’t sign it! It’s just a spinning wheel when I type in my email address. Contact form doesn’t work either ### 1/5 — Deeply frustrating *2025-05-06* This app frequently logs me out of my subscription, then tells me I don't have one, then randomly I regain access. How can you expect me to support this paper if I can't read what I pay for? ### 1/5 — I want this app to be good *2025-04-27, version 7.3.0* It’s got a fatal error where you cannot sign up. Every article requires you to be signed in but when you try, it fails. Had to delete it. ### 1/5 — Worst news app out there *2025-04-22* Most frustrating app ever. Known issues for YEARS still not fixed. Keeps asking over and over again to sign in. Then sign in, IF it even works, does not auto fill sign in credentials. Redundant stories show up several times. News updates are very slow, especially on weekends where all they do is rearrange the order of the stories to make it appear there are changes No landscape mode No response from support ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thumbs up *2026-08-02* The last unbiased news outlet left in Canada. Reporting regularly on actual news in an unbiased capacity ### 5/5 — Great Content *2026-06-09* Enjoying the new online subscription immensely ### 5/5 — UX/UI *2025-12-12* 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. ### 5/5 — Searching for truthful Journalism *2025-03-03, version 7.2.0* Been a wapo, Star reader for years & am disappointed in how journalists only write THEIR personal opinions..NOT the truth!! So hoping the journalism with NP is like what used to be written..the TRUTH! Fingers crossed! So far not bad! ### 5/5 — iPad app horrible *2025-01-02, version 7.0.7* Doesn’t load ### 5/5 — National Post still believes in old fashioned journalism *2024-10-05, version 7.0.7* Particularly when reporting on the Middle East, the National Post is not afraid to provide context, to give background information to give enough facts so that a full picture emerges rather than mindlessly pandering to the left, which is what most legacy media does, among them, CBC, BBC, the Guardian, the New York Times, and yes,the Globe and Mail. Thank you, National Post. ### 5/5 — App is a problem *2024-10-04, version 7.0.7* I can’t necessarily sign in on my iPad. It works in the National Post, but not in the Financial Post. Financial Post says it can’t verify my subscription. It’s a pain to do any reading. ### 5/5 — Can’t sign in *2024-08-12, version 7.0.3* I’ve subscribed to the National Post for years. Recently, I wound up paying significantly more for the app, but have access to more editions which is nice. It doesn’t help that every time I want to read an article, the content is blocked and signing in is not possible because of the unending revolving circle. Same result when trying to sign in on the website. Zero value for my money! This really needs to be fixed and quickly. My subscription expires Sept 8. I will be canceling if this is not fixed by then. ### 5/5 — Functional app, good journalism *2024-06-26, version 7.0.1* A function app, allows a quick view of both the Financial Post and National Post. Good quality national focus. ### 5/5 — Please fix it *2020-06-18* I use this ap regularly, but right now it is asking me to sign in, then telling me I don’t have an account. Please get this fixed. Great ap, just needs some attention --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
