NYT Audio

Queue and Downloads disappears in any random time.

This app is truly amazing and provides a unique experience with the highest level of professionalism. My only request would be to reconsider pricing in different regions, as what may be the cost of a Starbucks coffee for your employee could be the cost of a week's worth of food for a family. Nonetheless, I must emphasize that the NYT is one of the most humanitarian organizations on our planet.

While I really appreciate the content ( really enjoy Ezra Klein, Matter of Opinion, the Athletic, and Hard Forkand I listen daily to Headlines and the Daily), the functionality of the queue is frustrating. It does allow you to resequence the order that the articles are to play; but then it later (sometimes almost immediately) it undoes the order that was input.

The app is smooth and easy to navigate. Adding and deleting audio is simple and intuitive. Very easy to manage my following and intermittent listening. I love the alerts that seem to learn my interests and suggest good listening options. A wonderful addition to my NYT reading experience. Thanks so much.

Too hard to figure out how to rewind or ff in the moment. I’ve finally just followed the nyt podcasts I like in the iphone app. (Which is actually a real slam.) too bad, because i liked being able to have two queues, able to switch to news podcasts while they were still relevant. But it was not to be.

I use this app everyday, and was happy for its development after the acquisition of Audm, which I also was a paid user of. However, it seems to have inherited a bug from Audm that is a little frustrating. In broad strokes, the queueing / “Up Next” function is often buggy, either replaying or failing to delete previously finished / skipped / deleted audios or overriding the Queue for the next available in the suggested feed. It’s annoying and there’s no clear fix or workaround. FWIW, I also am against the use of AI voices in speech to text for reading articles. I wish users could opt out of this entirely on the app.

I loved the carefully curated articles of Audm but these new automated readings of articles are painful to listen to, plus the NYTIMES app is buggy. I will unsubscribe as soon as my current subscription runs out.

I sometimes wish for more news content but this app does a good job presenting the content that I can select. The app allows speed changes, volume changes, and easy reply and navigation. NYT Audio does glitch occasionally including spontaneous app closures. Those glitches can be frustrating because they cut off content, usually in the middle of a presentation, with no easy way to get back to near the point of interruption.

Glad I can learn about such interesting things

None of my other apps have forced this, not even essentials like banking. Why? I guess I won’t be using it for a while.
