App doesn’t work half the time
Would be great if it opened more than 4 days out of the week. Half the time it’s just “try again”
NYT audio: Carplay no longer!
But Washington Post audio is now on Apple Carplay!
Leaving?
I don’t want this app to go away on October 3, 2025!
I listen to it and many of its offerings of other magazines. The convenient format of these presented all together will be sorely missed.
Don’t go!!!!!

I love the audio app.
This app is so easy to navigate and listen to articles. I like the sleep function so I can listen at bed time or anytime. I’m sad this app will be going away. I think it functions much better than the audio within the regular NYTimes app.
NYT app 👍👍
Awesome app. Great tool to stay informed
A terrible app that never works
This app is really bad. Sometimes I try to open it and tells me something’s gone wrong. Try again when you try again it just goes around and around and around and around and never goes anywhere so you have to get out of it and try again today I just gave up.
Cancel your subscription
NYT the only thing you'll understand is loss of revenue. You cancelled a useful, reliable app that worked with Carplay for no reason or notice. Fellow disgruntled users, put in your 1 star review and cancel your subscription.
Open Letter to NYT Audio
Hi NYT team,
I just wanted to share a quick note about the decision to shut down the standalone Audio app. I was sad to see it go — it’s been one of my favorite ways to engage with Times content.
That said, I think the transition could have felt a little smoother for those of us who relied on it regularly. Two things in particular would have helped a lot:
• Supporting CarPlay in the main NYT app, so we can keep listening easily on the road.
• Migrating our existing follows and subscriptions into the main app, so we didn’t lose the personalization we’d built up over time.
I really appreciate all the work the team has put into audio, and I hope you keep building on it. The Times has some of the best audio journalism out there, and anything you can do to make it easier to find and listen to will go a long way.
Thanks again for all the great work you’re doing.

Great, but a little slow
Really like this app and much prefer it to the NYT listen tab. It’s just very slow when it opens - if great we’re fixed it would be excellent
Really sad to see this go
I have enjoyed this app for a few years now. I hate all the NYT podcasts (why are they so awful? Fake radio over-produced garbage) but this app had long-form articles, from the NYT, from T magazine and from a rather good selection of other magazines (the Atavist, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, and more). Read by people. Honestly RIP. So sad it is being discontinued.

Buggy before, now stopped working altogether
It was always buggy, not responding to earbud controls, but now the latest update won’t even work with my version of iOS, the latest my phone is compatible with.
Merging with NYT app
They’re closing this app and moving it to the Listen tab in the NYT app but this loses CarPlay compatibility.
App being disappeared
Was looking for my favorites and saw the message that the app would be gone as of Oct 3…highlighted link says “Go to the Listen Tab” which took me to my NYT app but no Listen Tab in evidence.
Why the harsh removal?
With no warning the app is going away and I can’t use it because you insist on an update for a version of iOS this device can’t take. Why can’t I just use the old version until Oct. 3? I wasn’t able to note what I missed, which episodes I was in the middle of, nothing. This is almost abusive, NYT. And we’re paying customers. WTAF?!?!

Version block
If my phone is x or less, I can’t update to your new version.
Classist block to access, even though I purchased the NYT…wow

Doesn’t work!!
Doesn’t work for my IPhone with a 16.7 version
Do not get rid of this app!
This app is very well designed and easy to use. Do not discontinue it!!
A+ content C- app
App takes 10+ seconds to load. Pause and play have a 2 second delay. App crashes frequently. Queue isn’t followed and plays random shows. Please improve the app so I can enjoy the content.
Love it but it lags
Love the idea and having all my favorite nyt podcasts. But it lags pretty bad and makes it hard to search for new things to watch.
App is so slow to load
NYT content is solid. This app is so slow to load. Learn from lean apps like Overcast, please
