The Jerusalem Post Reviews

by CelesM

Love the news content. Hate the ads. Lately when I click a notification I am taken to the story and then greeted with a full page pop up ad that won’t disappear because the X is too high up in the corner to close it. Now whenever I open TheJerusalemPost , it takes me back to the same full page ad. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a few times and no difference. Deleting TheJerusalemPost for good now.

I read the post on a browser on my phone. I fell for the ad that said “less ads” faster load. Wrong. You can’t open TheJerusalemPost with out a full screen persistent ad, with o way to close it. Worse the ads for really cheesy garbage. I’m better off reading the post on a browser with an ad blocker running. The content is good, the amount and quality of the ads is garbage.

I like the content but the ads make me despise the owners of TheJerusalemPost. The ads upon opening typically can’t be closed & the (x) is strategically placed so that it can’t be clicked. Your forced to close TheJerusalemPost or click on the link within the ad. That is infuriating and a horrible way to run a business!!!!

I don’t know what’s going on with TheJerusalemPost but when I open it the only thing showing is some advert for an app called XE or something like that to send global money transfers. I even deleted and redownloaded it and it still shows the same thing. No articles no other content, just this weird advert. What is going on with that??

There are so many ads on this newspaper most of the time it gets unbearable to read articles because the ads cover the page and sometimes there is no way to close out of them so you have to exit out of TheJerusalemPost and reboot it. This is awful, they should be putting only in page ads within their articles and none of this nonsense. No other reputable newspaper does this. Either paywall JPost or get rid of the full screen ads, this is disgraceful!

I can’t get past the ads on TheJerusalemPost. I have to close it out every time because they place the “x” for the ad in the corner where the clock is. Now the ads play music and EVEN when I close TheJerusalemPost , the annoying music continues to play until I manually shut down TheJerusalemPost . I think it is time for a new news outlet.

I very much like the content and reading the stories, however numerous updates have been made to TheJerusalemPost and now I only get stuck on pages of ads, don’t let me get through to the stories or I click on the stories and I get nothing. This is pushing me to go to other sources for news. Whoever is updating TheJerusalemPost needs to be fired and bring someone in who knows what they’re doing and allow your readers access to the content

I just downloaded TheJerusalemPost yesterday and I need to delete it. I have never seen an outlet so slowly onto my iPad. It's extremely frustrating and not worth the effort. Is not my Internet as I have a really high speed, end it is not my iPad because I have no problem watching movies on my iPad. Bad bad app. It's unbelievable with the advanced technological expertise that exists in Israel that they can't make TheJerusalemPost work better.

I have had TheJerusalemPost installed on my phone for maybe 6 months. It has always had ads during that time. At first they could be quickly closed. Then, starting maybe October or November (2021) the ads could not be closed for a about 5 seconds. Fine! But recently (early 2022), the ads have sounds and the “X” to close the ad does not work. After 10 - 15 seconds ad still covers entire screen. I am uninstalling.

Great paper that gets killed by a terrible app. Just like the Jpost website (another disgrace), the text is constantly moving as the intrusive ads load, making reading impossible. What a pity! I’d really enjoy reading it otherwise. You’d think that the people at Jpost would notice and make a change. Who reads newspapers on paper anymore?

by Crand6250

The content is ok, although one would expect a lot more news from the entire region not only Israel and USA. The main problem by far is the super annoying pop-up comercials that makes it hard and cumbersome to navigate thd app and to enjoy it. It’s a real shame that the creators of TheJerusalemPost allow so much crap taking over. I’m very, very dissapointed and I’m strongly considering deleting TheJerusalemPost altogether if you guys don’t change something.

For reasons that remain a mystery, the Jerusalem Post has 2 different apps. This one shows full-screen ads that can’t be skipped and stay on-screen for some fixed period of time. Want to pay and skip the ads? Sorry, there’s no way to do that in TheJerusalemPost!

Also, I never imagined a news publisher would release an app with no search function, but here it is! Want to search for stories about the Abraham Accord between Israel and the UAE? Stories about Netanyahu? Tourism? Israeli film? Too bad: “NO SEARCH FOR YOU!”

JPost has great articles and coverage of Israeli and Middle Eastern news. However, TheJerusalemPost send WAY too many push notifications. I regularly wake up in the US with more than a dozen notifications. It seems like every time someone writes an article, they send a push notification. That number should be limited to, at most, 2-3 per day (1-2 would be better).

First the problem was when I clicked on a notification it would just take me to the Home Page instead of the actual article. Now when I click on the notification it takes me to the article and then an add pops up that I can’t click out of because the X is too high in the right-hand corner. I give up. Major fail. Do better and I’ll come back.

I love Jerusalem Post and I’m excited they decided to send more notifications. Sadly, clicking on the notification takes me to the home page, where the specific article can’t be found.

There are too many spam commercials that destroy the experience completely and there is no actual X button, so you click in an empty space and hope you’re not redirecting to a ransom/spam site.

its 2020 Wake up, start up nation.

I am literally unable to access the contents of TheJerusalemPost because the close button for the ads are on top of the battery icon every time I open TheJerusalemPost . Otherwise it was a great app before the ads filled the entire screen.

by Eric R..

Would be 5 stars but very difficult to use because of the way ads interfere with reading the news. Many ads can’t be dismissed. Ever.

I’ve ever received the JPost notifications, but since december I’ve got the iphone 11Pro and it is not working.

by Ethel Mermaid

Just installed this for the first time. It runs fine on my iPhone XS Max. I have no complaints about how it runs. And the categories to the left and scroll bar on the top work great. But the Jerusalem post is more than just the latest news. What I’m looking for:
1) I’d rather pay for TheJerusalemPost than be subject to ads;
2) I’m really looking for access to the archives, which again, would be worth paying for.
So, nice job on getting rid of bugs, of which I am only aware based on reviews. And, please offer ad-free, & archive access. Get those past editions online!

by Jellette

This is almost a 5 star app. The only current problem is when certain ads are shown. These ads put the X button (to close the ad) up in the extreme top-right of the screen, where the clock is. This part of the display does not react to touches, so you have to just close TheJerusalemPost and start over - and hope you don’t get the same ad again.
Please correct this one small thing.

The ads have become so bad I have deleted this trash. Better news sources. I get ads are needed but blocking everything each story for every building #'s of seconds is far beyond what I'm willing to put up with. Good riddance.

by Mikee219

I get a JPost notification and more often than not get a blank screen when I click on it. If you’re using the latest version of iOS expect to have all kinds of problems.

by Awesomeavi

Why can you get a real app? You are a real news organization, right? Content is fine. You app is such trash.

by Donalatriste

Auto play video ads can be turned off on many platforms but not JP. Using TheJerusalemPost feels like malware. Tacky. Deleting app now.

by AllanRosen

So many pop up ads and they are so disruptive-- they render TheJerusalemPost essentially unusable.

by Big Creek Dude

Love the articles but keep getting ads that pop up and will not go away.

The way they come up and stay makes me think it is a virus. Will no longer use TheJerusalemPost. Although I love the paper.

by Gogo812

TheJerusalemPost is great when it's working well. However, it would be really nice if I could get through an article without being bombarded by advertisements and commercials. I totally understand the monetary aspect of this, but sometimes when I scroll, I'm redirected to a third-party site or app and then I lose my place in my article. When I return to TheJerusalemPost , it brings me to the home page and then I have to look for the article I was reading all over again + find my place.

I like to check Jerusalem Post from time to time, but recently the pop up ads have gotten so disgusting, taking over my phone, that I have to think twice if it’s worth it. :(
