If I could give this sorry app zero stars, it would be too many. The articles are typical, small time drivel. I could accept the crummy writing, the crappy articles and even the lack of substantial news. But, the last straw is every few seconds, while you are reading one of the pieces of drivel, the app will automatically kick you out of the article and launch a bogus pop up, typical of a spyware effort. Is that even allowed by Apple? Well, no matter, the Times is doing it not once, not twice, but multiple times for each article. And they constantly warn you that you have on X number of articles this month to view otherwise you need to subscribe. They’d have to pay me to read their lackluster articles. Good bye Times!

This USED to be a decent app to get my local breaking news. BUT; in the past ten days they have now placed ads when you click on a story to read it, the ad now takes up the whole screen until you are able to click out of it. I thought maybe it would just happen once when I initially opened the first story upon opening the app...NOPE! I clicked on another story after having the app open and got another ad. I'll just wait for the morning paper. Bye Felicia!!

Having an occasional ad in a free app is totally understandable but this is just too much. Adds plastered all over the main page with 15 to 30 second ads popping up before almost every article, videos and pop ups auto playing and blocking the content multiple times while trying to read it. This app actually makes it less convenient to get the regional news.

There are way too many ads on the app, making it difficult to read anything. An Ad will pop up unexpectedly, you click on it accidentally and you completely lose your place in the ad, having to close out the app and research for the article again. Waste of time!

You’ll get about 5-10 new articles daily, even with a subscription to The Times. They never put all of their write-ups online or on the app, but this new app is even worse than before. You’ll get the same stories to read all week and half of them will be AP stories from across the country. I’d like my local paper to be just that- local. I’d also like for it to actually give me articles to read.
