New York Post for iPhone

It’s hard to knock a free app, but there is room for improvement. There are a lot of spelling errors and grammatical errors, too. Some sentences make no sense at all. The pop up ads are really annoying. You can’t scroll past them. You need to use your other hand to clear them. Reporting is good. There are a lot of stories in each category to read. Right wing bias is present but you also go after the president and other conservatives when they deserve it. Bias is nowhere near the level of sites on the left. The app is easy to navigate with one hand - except for the pop up ads. I lean more to the right than the left on most issues, which is probably why I agree with the paper’s slant. Keep up the good work.

Thankfully this is a free app... I don’t write many reviews but this app deserves one. I live out of NY but remain a loyal NY sports fan and honestly NY Post has the better sports section for covering the Rangers, Giants, Mets and Yankees. I used to be able to click and article and have it open almost immediately, certainly within 5 seconds. Since an more recent update I click an article and it takes 60-90 seconds to open and sometimes, it isn’t even the article I clicked on. Apps are supposed to be fast, who has time to waste when opening an article only to get presented with a different article. Then there are the resets... I don’t know what else to call them. I’ll be scrolling down the page of headlines in the sports section to suddenly be brought back to the main screen of the app. It didn’t crash, it just reset. If an update doesn’t resolve the load times, I’ll will improve them by using a different app.

I love reading the Post and go to it a few times each day, but for the past two weeks there have been loading issues. Either I cannot load the features such as, “Latest News” “Metro” etc. or it takes an extremely long time for the features to load. It has become so frustrating that I just close your app and read a different one. Kindly fix this since The Post is a very interesting well written and fun news app that I really enjoy looking forward to reading. Thank you This app is working so well now. Thank you very much. A job well done! .

App takes a long time to launch. Each story takes an extended time to load. Often, trying to open a story is best accomplished by opening it, closing it, and reopening the story (not the app). A user cannot listen to music while using the app, because the ads play audio content while trying to read a story and even while looking at the headlines pages. Another big problem, Cut/Copy is STILL limited to selecting an entire paragraph. This becomes a problem when trying to use the iPhone’s dictionary to define a word or to look it up on the web. The Post features many articles from Australia—understandably so considering its owners—but to an American, who isn’t familiar with a lot of the words or phrases that are commonly used “down under,” having to exit the app, begin typing the word/phrase into Safari, then jumping back to the article to verify spelling or finish a longer phrase, then back to Safari to learn what is being communicated, and finally back to the article is a horribly tedious process that is completely unnecessary. As many of these issues have been plaguing the app for over a year, I don’t think it will improve, but instead continue its decline.

Every time a new update is released I pray they will fix the issues but noooooooo. Loading times for simple articles are insane, and the constant resetting of the app while scrolling articles is becoming beyond annoying, it’s forcing me to start seeking out other apps. As a transplanted NYer I LOVE the Posts sports coverage, but the frustration levels are boiling over. Especially considering how many times I click an article to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait some more, only to wait a little longer then it loads and it’s not even the article that I clicked on. That’s been happening more and more lately, in fact this morning every article linking to the same stupid bill deblasio helium voice once. Guess you’re trying to spike the numbers/metrics for that article! Get it fixed
