Slow and clunky
NYT audio app has great audio podcasts and excellent reporting, but it is extremely slow and clunky when refreshing audio stories and when navigating around the app. Has been like this for six months.

NYT Audio Reviews
Fantastic addition to subscription
Much prefer this than Audm. Would love to be able to chromecast though! (<== psst developers 🙏)
Why?
Although you can download to listen off-line, the app can’t launch off-line. Which sort of defeats the point of downloading….
Night efficient
I don’t have a lot of time to listen to stories, which is part of my impatience with Podcasts. I would like the journalist to get to the point and be efficient with the story. My impression is that to mich of the the information shared in the stories is not relevant or worth my time to listen to. I would also like to be able to listen to New York Times stories inan audio format since my only free time is when I’m commuting.
Crashes Constantly
I have to restart the app multiple times per episode; not an ideal listening experience.
Refreshing!
Proves that the world is more than trauma.
Where is the screen of what’s playing?
This app seems like a news app that forgot it’s an audio app. Why is everything huge except the tiny “play/pause” icon. There is no easy way to rewind/fast forward unless you add to queue and toggle back and forth. Why are there massive photos next to audio content? NYT wanted to make some money off of its audio content which I think is smart but it seems to have confused that with reinventing a very functional platform that already exists. I find this basically unusable.
Slow to release articles from other publications
Before NYT took it over, Audm regularly updated its selection, listing current articles weekly. Now, most of the articles from other publications are over a month old. Why bother offering them at all. Also, there is no option to decrease speed below 8.
My go to source
NYT Audio is my go-to source for well written stories and great interviews. Michael Barbaro and Ezra Klein are genius and professional listeners and interviewers. Bravo.
Internet Required for podcasts
You can download podcasts, but you have to be online to even open the app, which makes it pointless. I wanted to used this while flying, but apparently I would have to pay for WiFi, too
