Superb centrist news source

The reporters at TOI delve into a wide variety of issues, check out the facts before publishing, and don’t try to pass off editorials as independent news. It is a level of journalism we don’t see enough of these days.

Ads keep opening my browser

Many times when i open this app, it automatically opens my safari to virushunter.xyz. Makes it impossible to use your app with all of these auto redirects.

Glitchy app

The app bounces around; gets stuck on white spaces; refreshes when it shouldn’t. Infuriating.

Very Biased

They obviously are anti Trump and very biased in their reporting to the left. Not fair and balanced. Way to many ads

Pay for ad-free experience? Not true!

The app keeps logging you out and ads keep coming back and full of little ads that you keep tripping on. Just compare to a WSJ App and you will understand what I am talking about

Ou est TOI en français

Pourquoi e anglais?

Very Biased

I have been reading their news for a while and I’ve noticed more and more that they are very much biased against Israel and especially against the United States government and especially President Trump. I’m not sure what’s going on, but they’re so-called news is very biased

Joined the “community”

Straight up doesn’t work or change anything about using the app. You log in, go to an article to try to comment, and it says you need to login to comment. Clicked on the link to login and did, still nothing changes. You need to fix this garbage you haven’t had an update in MONTHS. Not a single available coder in Israel???

News great, app sub-par

I’ve paid for the ad free version for years. Most times the app doesn’t remember me and I have to sign in from scratch. I’ve contacted support several times and they’re completely unhelpful. For a country famous for tech, you’d think they’d have a decent app developer somewhere.

$6 removes all ads

The App isn’t perfect, but pretty good. From the looks of it a webview, but it’s reasonably fast and intuitive. The app has received horrible ratings exclusively from people using it for free, just thought to add a different pov. $6 for ad-free access on web and mobile to a quality paper is worth every penny in my books. I’d usually give it 4 stars, but an extra star due to all the negative reviews.

Impossible to use app

The news material is very interesting and informative. But the app itself has become impossible to use. You read an article for a ew seconds and then a blank gray screen appears and you can no longer read any articles. It’s extremely frustrating because the material itself is great. Before this issue videos would just pop up and start playing without you clicking on them. The developers really need to get their act together on this.

Great app

Great time catching up on Middle East news stoey

Crappy app, but good content

This app has me cursing in frustration, it’s so bad.

The quality of the content—straightforward news about Israel & the region—is high, however.

App stinks, content good

This app stinks with constant ad’s and refreshing the page. I pay for a subscription too. Please fix it. The content is very good but it is painful to read.

Does the job

Functional but not great. App fails to remember my credentials so I have to log in again every morning. A bit clunky to navigate.

Best news app for English speakers in Israel

You guys fixed it and now it’s good again thank you

This app is now terrible

The app has become unusable now. It constantly requires me to verify whether I am human with a cloudflare captcha check box that repeates over and over again. There are many pop up adds, and the very worst issue is that the app automatically opens safari to view double click adverts forcing you to leave the app, this happens over and over again. The app is totally unusable now.

Fix your app

I’m reading text and not even touching the screen and the app just switches me to safari to show ads repeatedly. When I close the safari app and switch back to TOI, I have to scroll all the way back to where I was in the article, only to be tossed backed into safari for an ad to open up.

Use to be good

Now, ad pop ups every 30 seconds disrupt reading any article. I am deleting this app….do you read me TOI?

Pop up ad has destroyed this app!

It’s impossible to use this app because of a persistent pop-up ad about a christian - Jewish fellowship pin. Cannot proceed further. No choice but to delete the app. Sad! Don’t download this app.
