The Times of Israel Reviews

I really like TOI and go to it first for my news. It often glitches with the “wheel” circling while it tries to load or reload and I have to shut my phone or delete and reinstall TheTimesofIsrael . Also, there are often noxious, and possibly harmful, pop-ups associated with TheTimesofIsrael. I often get a “you have won...” that doesn’t let me enter TheTimesofIsrael . I also suspect that a few “call immediately, your phone is infected, don’t shut this or else,” have come through TheTimesofIsrael. Use the desk top website

Very useful app for getting news from Israel. I don't know about this version of TheTimesofIsrael , but in the past, every few months I have to delete TheTimesofIsrael and download it again, because it becomes unresponsive. If I didn't have to do that, I would give TheTimesofIsrael 5 stars.

=======================

My 4 stars has become 1 star. An app that used to work extremely well, and to which I wrote a note being willing to buy a subscription, now presents ads in the most obnoxious way possible: totally and repeatedly disrupting reading and difficult to get back to the reading.

The news material is very interesting and informative. But TheTimesofIsrael 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.

Love the content. However every few weeks I have to delete TheTimesofIsrael and reinstall because I can't open articles from main page. When I access the site from Facebook page, the pop up ads are unwelcome. I just close Facebook without accepting and ignore content I would have otherwise read.

I now use TOI as first source of information. However TheTimesofIsrael itself is almost unusable. Just as you start reading an article pop ups get on the way and you can't get rid of them without closing TheTimesofIsrael . Pages go blank after few seconds etc. it really needs some serious technical developer work!
I switched to web version.

I love the content, but this has to be the most annoying app I’ve ever had, with constant pop up ads you have to click to make them disappear. I’m repeatedly interrupted when I try to read any article. Annoying!

Within the last few weeks TheTimesofIsrael has become particularly unstable. It freezes & goes white so often it doesn’t pay to read more than the headlines. Useless app until these issues are fixed & app is well maintained.

Interesting and informative news about Israel

It’s a daily must for me - and TheTimesofIsrael works great. Join the Community to remove ads! Well worth it.

The new pop up ads cover the content completely and the itty bitty x that should close them is too close to the button to comment or click on the ad. So I can’t get rid of the ads. And I can’t see the content.

I love the site itself — it’s the best source for up-to-date, comprehensive news and analysis of Israel, but TheTimesofIsrael is plagued with constant pop-up ads and freezes, to the point where I’ve deleted it four times in the last few weeks.

Constantly glitchy. Often freezes or fails to load. I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling but it doesn’t fix the issue. Good when it works (maybe 10% of the time).

I became a monthly “community member” to remove ads, but:

1) The latest app update doesn’t save your PW when logged in, and

2) DOESN’T REMOVE ADS — the only reason why I paid to be a community member was to remove the ads!

The content in the TOI is very good but TheTimesofIsrael often doesn’t load properly for several tries and then when it does, it’ll almost inevitably crash. Please fix!

TheTimesofIsrael glitches and reloads several times during each article, and finally errors out completely, giving you a white screen.

Content great but recently started to get pop up videos constantly which makes app unbearable to use. Please fix.

Had to delete app due to pop ups “you have won” which prevent you from going any further. Too bad, as content of stories are good. One day maybe, they will fix TheTimesofIsrael .

This is by far the worst app for invasive pop ups I have ever had . I enjoy the articles but had to delete TheTimesofIsrael .

The constant (every 4-5 seconds) pop-up ads are more than a powerful nuisance —they render TheTimesofIsrael useless.

Please revert.

Frustrating ap

Although a subscriber, and logged in, the next time TheTimesofIsrael is started, identity has been lost. Identity established or not, ads and black screens keep popping up. I’ve given up on TheTimesofIsrael and use only the browser.
