Hope it succeeds
Update: Downloading content only works online. lol Some design changes are needed, but the content is great. I added another star for Julia Whelan. 5 stars when synchronizing between devices occurs. Plus "downloading last 3 episodes" actually works; rather than downloading everything forever. NYT is 20 yrs behind; podcasting, & had AUDM surveys for 2 yrs. And, now surveys for us paid-to-use guinea pigs. Survey your geeks, & make them use this app. But, I am hopeful. I love the NYT & The Athletic; no matter how many employee cuts, plus ads.
App has lots of bugs - freezes / barely works
This app has a long way to go before before it can be in line with other audio streaming apps - the interface constantly glitches and freezes
Great content and poor design
App is not responsive to touch. A bit frustrating for such a high profile company/brand. Articles are still great to listen to once you get there.
I’ve paid for the app and it denies access
Super frustrating, no support.
Please improve
The layout is confusing.
Still glitzy and glitchy.
A lot of thought and care has been put into making this app aesthetically distinctive. I love the use of high-quality photography alongside stories. Outside of that, the app still has issues. Audio playback is prone to bugs. Sometimes the player loses track of what story you were listening to and you’re unable to pause and resume where you left off. Often the app will be unable to play audio in the background. The newly added CarPlay support might be one of the worst I’ve ever seen (very limited ability to browse catalog and frequently fails to play audio in the background). More often than not you cannot start listening from CarPlay and must use your phone.
I don’t really understand why this app exists beyond giving me access to “The Headlines” podcast. If you’re going to make a dedicated audio app I would expect to see features that could only be delivered through an app that we wouldn’t get through RSS or Apple Podcasts. I would love to see Spatial Audio and the ability to set daily playlist preferences.
NYT audio podcasts
up to the minute news, articulate, beats t.v. news by a country mile
Apple Watch app?
If I get an Apple Watch app for this I would have given a 5 stars. Just saying. Hopes up!
Frozen on the very first page
iPhone 15 Pro, installed, subscribed, but frozen on the very first page.
i rebooted, restarted and still frozen like a snowman.
EarPod pause button not working
I love this app and its content but when I use it on my iPhone 13 with Apple Earpod (wired), the play/pause button on the EarPod does not work. The volume up/down buttons work though. The issue was present when I had iOS 16, and updating to iOS 17.2.1 didn’t make a difference. This issue is very annoying; please fix it! Thanks!
