Freezes (will not allow navigation among articles or sections) every evening. No other app does this. Essentially I can’t read the news in the evening. Very frustrating!

I can open the NYT app and it loads the current days pages but choosing any article or game and nothing happens. The app stays on the first page completely frozen. Rebooting does nothing. Can you assist?

For a few weeks now the app partially loads or loads and freezes. At first it was random but now very frequently. I did the things suggested by the troubleshooting page and still not working.

On both my iPhone and iPad, the NYTimes mobile app is not downloading the stories. I see the articles,photos and links but when I click on them, I get a blank screen. Deleting the app and re-installing it has helped a little, but a LOT of stories aren’t loading. I am thinking this is not just me…..

My NY Times app on my phone freezes a lot of the time. The front page shows up and then I can't do anything else. I can't look at the sections or read any of the articles, etc.

By Steve Mendelsohn   7 months ago


Along with may other users, apparently, the NYT app opens on my iPhone and freezes on the first article, usually with a blank photo space. Is there any acknowledgement that this is a widespread problem and any effort to remediate it?

By Cynthia Young   7 months ago


Constant crashing which has been going on for months. Occasionally all is fine but problem resurfaces. I have reinstalled app, changed the password - completed other suggested fixes.

For over a week now (today is 18 April 2023), the NYT app on my iOs ipad keeps crashing when I try to read an article. I have cleared the NYT cache, but it is still happening. Please advise, thanks.

App won’t open on my iPad. I’ve tried to remove the app but I can’t remove it. It’s gray on my screen. I’ve gone to the App Store and it says UPDATE on the NYT app but when I try to update nothing happens.

By Beth Galdieri   1 year ago


App freezes upon opening (screen freezes on first page displayed). This is the only app that freezes on my iPhone X, IOS 16.2, and it’s happened with every IOS version I’ve had recently. I’ve been paying and paying and have been unable to use the app for months. When I called NYT tech support, I was advised that this had not been reported by others, but it’s clear that it has been reported, numerous to many times, right here. Please fix this!

My NY Times app on iPhone 13 uses almost 7 GB of storage. My Washington Post uses only 400 MB. How can I reduce the storage space used and still retain all the access to the Times?

By Gail Osterman   1 year ago


The NYTimes opens on my iPad Mini but with a frozen screen. I have tried several attempts to fix the problem but with no success. Please advise!

By Bill   1 year ago


I’ve removed and reinstalled app several times in an attempt to get it to work. It continues to crash or communicate that it can’t find the server. You would think that because The NY Times would prioritize this app working correctly since their revenue is largely driven by digital subscriptions. It’s very dissatisfying and disappointing that they drag their feet and are so lazy regarding this issue. Someone needs to fire and hire new blood.

Does not open! The app starts but then hangs without displaying the front page and then it closes. This has happened on and off recently. Very annoying.
