*2026-07-31, version 5.8.0*

Every day I have to turn off my iPad and turn it back on to get the latest edition of the Post. Why can’t these incompetent people get the current edition on the screen the first time?
Yes! Me too. This isn’t rocket science.

### 1/5 — EXASPERATING APP

*2026-07-31, version 5.9.0*

I love reding the NY Post every day. I am a subscriber who pays for Sports + access.  Very insightful and informative.  BUT…this app is just maddening.  Pop-ups constantly blocking the view, slow and inconsistent transition to links, freezing and slow buffering.  It takes 3 times as long as it should to read an article.  This app tales all the enjoyment out of reading The Post.  PLEASE NY POST, REDESIGN THIS APP to make it easier to enjoy reading!!!!!

### 1/5 — Fix this site

*2026-08-27, version 5.9.0*

Two bucks more a month and the site crashes more than ever on my iPad. Takes an hour to read three articles, kills my battery and freezes my whole device. Please come up with a fix or I have to cancel.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t download easily

*2026-08-12, version 5.9.0*

Used to have an easy time reading every morning until recently. Now, regardless of where I am or what device I use, downloading has become a pain. I need to turn off my iPads, sometimes a few times before the issue of the day appears. Frustrating and frustrated

### 1/5 — Service

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-02, version 5.8.0*

Update

Today, when I opened the app, I was greeted with last Sunday’s paper. Only way to update is to delete and reload.



While the edition is supposed to automatically download each day, it does not. They tell you to clear the cache, but on many days, it doesn’t help.

Update-lately, I have not had any problems with the downloads.

Update- The problem has reappeared several times.

Once again, on May 24, the issue is not available.

I can do without the paper and won’t renew.

### 1/5 — Really bad controls for a top newspaper

*2026-08-01, version 5.8.0*

Cannot go back a page without the app freezing. Asked Chat to help fix and performed each step. Works a short period then freezes again. I pay good money for such a poor app. Love the NY Post content though.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great way to get the Post

*2025-10-30, version 5.6.1*

Good paper, and a good app

### 5/5 — Easy to navigate.

*2025-08-24, version 5.6.1*

This app seems designed for easy reading, good content and flexibility in getting around the pages from one to another quickly. The headlines are not always easy to figure out, but then, that has nothing to do with the app, which is the best! Always informative and entertaining at the same time.

### 5/5 — Terrible App

*2025-02-24, version 5.3.0*

As bad as it was after the "upgrade", they have made it worse.  Haven't been able to open it for 3 weeks.  Nobody responds to calls or e-mail.  In the past, I couldn't even get credit for missed issues I couldn't open because of their problems.  They said Apple wouldn't let them refund for missed issues.  They promised a gift card and didn't even deliver that.  This is a complete ripoff, in my view.  It's a real tine drain trying to resolve it too.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2025-02-17, version 5.3.0*

Honest politics, best sports and real estate. And sudoku!

### 5/5 — A very good upgrade

*2025-01-07, version 5.2.0*

I like it a lot. It works extremely well on mobile phone and especially on tablets.

### 5/5 — Bob

*2024-10-06, version 5.1.0*

I love that it reads like a paper

### 5/5 — Cancel subscription!,

*2024-07-28, version 5.0.34*

Can’t get today’s edition today!, print edition will not change sometime for days. Was fine before re- new subscription

### 5/5 — Cancel subscription!,

*2024-06-11*

Can’t get today’s edition today!, print edition will not change sometime for days. Was fine before re- new subscription

### 5/5 — Unable to read the paper

*2024-03-09, version 5.0.34*

This problem does not seem to be getting fixed. The first day it happened I expected it to be fixed by the time the next paper came out. It has been days since the app worked. Is there any update?

### 5/5 — Disappointed

*2023-02-06, version 5.0.26*

The new version just released is a major step backward. Would not recommend at all. Old version much better and easier to navigate. Now I see pages of print ads which is exactly what I don't have interest in. So disappointed N Y Post
