Not sure what to do so I deleted the app and re applied. Some problem Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Does not even open *2018-05-14, version 6.2.6151* WON'T OPEN AFTER INSTALL ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2018-04-29, version 6.2.6151* The news in mine is still stuck on May 17, 2017. This used to be fairly good news about Israel. Now it’s just junk. Don’t bother to load it, it doesn’t work. This is as of 4/28/18. ### 1/5 — Sadly, doesn’t work at all *2018-04-09, version 6.2.6151* I installed, when first opened said “Wait while we initiate...” nothing happened. Quit and restarted app, just a blank page. Not ready for prime time, JPOST get it together please! ### 1/5 — Horrible app-won’t run *2017-12-10, version 6.2.6151* Just downloaded (even with all the negative reviews) to see if the app will run on any of my iPads.......no. Will not run. Says “please wait for a few seconds while setting it up for first time”. Never works.......bad app. Needs fixed to run under iOS 11 ### 1/5 — The App won’t even download *2017-10-01, version 6.2.6151* I’m using iOS 11 and this App won’t even download. All I get is a blank screen. It’s useless. I’d give it less than one star if that was an option. ### 1/5 — Forgotten app. *2017-09-30, version 6.2.6151* It would seem that JP doesn't care about the iPad platform as the app has not been updated since over a year. That is a real shame. Before installing it, make sure is current, otherwise don't bother since it stopped loading after the latest iOS update ### 1/5 — Ads freeze iPad *2017-06-04, version 6.2.6151* Too many ads and they freeze my iPad. Need to fix to make it usable. ### 1/5 — Terrible!!!!!!!! *2017-05-11, version 6.2.6151* What a terrible app! Annoying repetitive pop up ads ruin the experience of trying to read the news. Buggy, crashes all the time. How about fixing it properly!!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2017-05-08, version 6.2.6151* This is one of the worst apps for a newspaper I've ever seen ### 1/5 — Ads popping up everywhere! *2017-05-05, version 6.2.6151* Installed and deleted 2 minutes later. Ads are the news of the day on this app. Don't bother. ### 1/5 — Worst newspaper app! *2017-04-30, version 6.2.6151* This app is an embarrassment. Slow, constant crashes and relentless pop-up ads make it impossible to navigate. Please test it this time and fix it. ### 2/5 — Too many ads and freezes *2017-03-11, version 6.2.6151* Ads pop up very frequently and very often freeze up the app. Videos and audio auto start and freeze the app also. ### 1/5 — Jpost *2017-03-11, version 6.2.6151* Far too many ad's which makes this a useless source of news. Ads also buggy, and don't load properly, and the seconds don't count down so the ad can be closed. The AP itself crashes out quite often. ### 1/5 — Useless app *2016-12-27, version 6.2.6151* Too many pop ups ### 1/5 — Ad problem *2016-11-05, version 6.2.6151* Ads take entire screen and then lock up ### 1/5 — Too many pop up adds *2016-08-27, version 6.2.6151* The pop up adds make it too difficult to read an article - do not waist your time. When I first download the app a couple of years ago I really enjoyed reading a unique perspective on the Middle East, now all I have is al jazeera. ### 1/5 — useless app *2016-08-02, version 6.2.6151* The app crashes all the time both on my phone and iPad (even though they are new) as if it's playing hard to get! what's the point with good content if you can't even read it? ### 2/5 — Great content terrible delivery *2016-05-12, version 6.2.6150* I was never leave a review. And using the app for a while now and enjoyed it. However lately it's barely usable. Keeps trying to open up a webpage that never loads that's outside of the app. Random and pop up with video and sound. Sometimes when you're reading a website you're doing it in public or location and it's embarrassing on my iPad to have that thing blasting when I had no intention of playing the video. ### 1/5 — Poor *2016-04-19, version 6.2.6150* I agree with others that the App crashes, is overloaded with ads, and does not show what is expected. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-10-13, version 6.2.6151* App won’t initialise on my iPad so in fact it’s useless ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-10-05, version 6.2.6151* See title. ### 1/5 — iPad App displays no content *2023-02-19, version 6.2.6151* Disappointed to find that the IPad app opens, but only displays a blank white screen with no content. Deleting and reinstalling the app makes no difference. ### 1/5 — Simply doesn’t work *2021-08-07, version 6.2.6151* Reinstalled 3 times, but only ever saw the opening title followed by a blank white screen. Useless ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-05-18, version 6.2.6151* Need to relax with all the adds. Way to much adds. It’s very annoying. And now the app doesn’t even work. ### 1/5 — Blank screen on iPad *2021-05-16, version 6.2.6151* Nothing loads anymore ### 1/5 — Worst iPad app I ever used *2020-10-01, version 6.2.6151* Stop working after iOS 14 upgrade ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-07-24, version 6.2.6151* Won’t run with latest iOS. ### 1/5 — Totally Worthless App *2019-05-06, version 6.2.6151* Never gets past initializing, a disgrace to Israel to field such a useless app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2018-12-11, version 6.2.6151* It is beyond me how a major publication, in a tech-crazy country like Israel can have such a poor app. I am a premium member and was expecting an experience almost like the NYT app. Instead I have an app that just doesn’t work. Major fail. I will be canceling my subscription. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App ! Accurate and wide coverage *2014-08-30, version 3.9* Yes, the pop ups were annoying but they are no loner present. Overall the best App I find for. News from IL. Performs fast, consistent, wide coverage, in depth, accurate, engaging writing stuff. Thank you !! ### 5/5 — 5 stars for notifications *2014-04-30, version 3.9* I appreciate all of the notifications----they keep me notified as I go throughout my day! I like the content of the articles. I am not a fan of the pop up ads---especially the nasty looking ones....when those come up... Off the site I go---that is why I really like the notifications!!!! ### 5/5 — Great News Source *2013-09-20, version 3.4* This app is a great addition to become a well informed individual. It is refreshing to get the truth and the news all in one great app!! ### 5/5 — Jerusalem Post *2013-09-02, version 3.4* Phenomenal source of fast-breaking news for Israel and the entire Middle East. My #1 source for news and critique on issues important to anyone who cares about Israel. ### 5/5 — Updates quite frequent and easy to use *2013-08-18, version 3.4* Keep up to date with news around the country plenty of local papers to choose from ### 5/5 — Excellent posts *2013-08-17, version 3.4* I have remained paper editor in THE TIMES & the standard of the app is excellent ! ### 5/5 — JP *2013-08-09, version 3.4* Easy to navigate, good balance of freely available content with premium content, JP gives slightly different slant to Middle Eastern events, allowing for a balanced understanding of events. Sections on Israeli culture and society help connection with Israelis. ### 5/5 — Great app and good newspaper *2013-07-17, version 3.3* Excellent reporting. Very factual. ### 5/5 — Review of App *2013-07-04, version 3.3* I follow News of Israel via this App and have found it most useful and at the cutting edge of excellence in its reporting style. I trust the news content as given by Jeruselem Post. Keep up the excellent effort.
