The New York Times Erfahrungen und Bewertung

An sich gutes Layout, aber ein ungestörtes Lesen ist aufgrund der vielen Anzeigen kaum möglich.

Zeitung gut, app werbeverseucht.
Aber das schlimme ist, man kann nicht kündigen, wenn man das passwort vergessen hat.

Sadly there is no automatic darkmode.

TheNewYorkTimes ist eine reine Geldverschwendung

…. Das JEDER Artikel hinter der Paywall steckt. Mehr als Überschriften gubt es ohne Bezahlung also nicht.

Unangebracht für ein kostenpflichtiges Abo.

Seit Monaten bin Abonnent der NYT App.
Leider ist seit einigen Wochen ein Senden von Texten zu anderen Blattformen wie z. B. Twitter und Mail Accounts oder ein Update von Artikel nicht mehr möglich.
Daher werde ich mein teures Abonnement kündigen. Das Geld kann ich dann für technisch offene Dienste verwenden.

Das journalistische Angebot der NYT ist gut. Wenn Sie versuchen, Ihr Bezahlabo zu kündigen wird es schwierig. Ich habe letztendlich Paypal untersagt, Zahlungen an die NYT zu tätigen.

Disappointed.

I love their strong opinions and their views. And I’d love to support great journalism. Unfortunately, I hardly read it lately so I decided to cancel my basic digital subscription.
Now I’m desperately trying to cancel my subscription (not through App Store but directly with NYT) but no chance.
The chat is non responsive.
The hotline is non responsive. I was trying to call with 3 different phones simultaneously. All of them were apparently 7th in line. How is this possible?
It feels like scam. I’m furious and will ask my credit card provider to book my money back and deal with them. Why do they ruin their reputation with such poor behavior? Sad.

Abobedingungen recht flexibel, aber: Zum Artikelaufbau braucht man immer noch eine stabile Internetverbindung. 3G reicht da nicht. Und das, nachdem ich im Wlan die Ausgabe runtergeladen hab. Der gleiche Mist wie vor drei-vier Jahren. Wenn mich das zu sehr nervt, kann ich immerhin das Abo jetzt monatlich beenden.

And constant reloading makes it really hard to scroll through the headlines. It’s not my connection, by contrast the WaPo app is much better. Fix it, please, because the content is great, once one can read it. I have been messing with it now for about 10 minutes without being able to look for the articles I want to read, which prompted me to go to the apps store and write this complaint.

Gut aber zu viel Werbung

Bin seit einiger Zeit wieder dazu übergegangen in Safari zu lesen, weil dieser einen augenfreundlichen Lese-Modus bietet. In TheNewYorkTimes fehlt einfach eine Möglichkeit die Schriftgröße einzustellen und ein Nachtmodus wäre auch angebracht. Gute App, wird aber kaum weiterentwickelt.

Do u want the latest news? Want to inform ur self from an objective stand point? Nahhh than u are wrong here. I read the nyt to entertain myself. The content is exclusive and very well analyzed. So if u read a crazy headline somewhere else - wait a month and u get the hole report.

I use this App all the time and I am very happy with it. It helps me to quickly see world news and the NYT is clearly one of the best newspapers!
The App is great except for one small detail: It’s Geofencing capability. What good is an App that will turn off features for the user at the push of a button? Their button!
When posting comments on the NYT website, I have tested the ability of the App to send a bogus error message that a post cannot be made, all the while when other systems (web browsers) work fine. This does not appear to be a bug, ratter a selectable feature on the NYT side. Sad if true!
This sneaky way of designing new technology is quite troubling because it would suggest a potential future none of us want to see. (1984)

The app itself is well made, easy to navigate but could use some minor improvements. For example making fonts selectable would be great, perhaps making the settings more generally accessible than just under “for you” would be nice. But my biggest problem is reading in the dark. i’d love support for a dark mode, because in the dark all of that white is almost aggressive on the eyes.

TheNewYorkTimes ist wirklich gut - und ich kann das mit der Werbung nicht nachvollziehen. Alles ist im Rahmen, die Artikel sind sehr gut recherchiert und sehr umfangreich. Keine leichte Kost wie bei Spiegel und Co. Aktuell meine Lieblingsquelle wenn es um Nachrichten aus den USA geht. Interessant wie Amerikaner und in Europa in der Welt sehen. Was gibt noch Hoffnung. Habe das Abo direkt bei der NYT gekauft und nicht im App Store. Zahlengedächtnis Monat €4, anstelle des viel höheren Preises im App Store. Für alle die informiert bleiben wollen ein muss!

TheNewYorkTimes ist richtig gut, übersichtlich strukturiert, man findet schnell was man sucht.
Ärgerlich sind die YouTube Beschränkungen, aber das kann NYT nicht beeinflussen.

Kann die Kritik meiner Vorredner nicht nachvollziehen. Schöne App!

One of the most important newspapers in the world and the management is not willing to take care of fair customer relations.

(1) the monthly fee more than doubled without further notice from 9€ to 22€ in September 2018,
(2) emails with complaint about that change are not taken care of within more than a month,
(3) Subscriptions start via app and can be finished only by phone call or email via website. But first one has to find the proper information. A practice I would expect from tabloids and not from first class publishers.

Please make it possible to start and end subscriptions via app! Until then I am not willing to continue my subscription.

The App is fine, the content also. I really want to support good journalism. But the Ad load seems to have increased to a level where I cannot enjoy reading the articles anymore. It is not only the massive ad load, but also the loading time of the ads which causes the article to “jump” up and down.
If you do not scale your ads back I have to consider canceling the subscription.
Best

I‘ve been using the NYT app (as a subscriber) for more than a year now and was first pleasantly surprised by its nice typography, clean layout and great offline capabilities.

Some of their ads were always somewhat irritating, especially for their own podcasts - something they refuse to fix.

Recently tho they added autoplaying video and all falls apart. You can turn off autoplaying video content, fine. Video ads however still play and they are a nightmare. They drain battery and cause the app to lock up for seconds.

With this in mind their website provides a much better experience if you turn on ad-block. Sad.

Who came up with the idea of killing the swipe through articles and sections functionality? The last update made a user-friendly and smooth experience turn into a complicated click-nightmare. Please bring it back

I enjoy reading the times but the app often freezes and at the same time, the "For You" tab is constantly refreshing the page.
As a subscriber i don’t want to see an app freeze.
Please fix that.

A simple dark mode would make it so much easier using the app in the evening
