I’ve just lost the use of my NYT app. The app is still there, and I’m still paying for a subscription, but when I open it it says I have to update to use it. And when I try to update it says my iOS system is no longer supported. I deliberately use an older phone for environmental reasons but it is still supported by Apple. My old app worked; I don’t understand why I have to be locked out just because I can’t update.
Your charge a subscription and still have ads? Every other app charges a subscription so you don’t have to deal with ads…
I cannot be the only person whose reading (which is what a newspaper is for) is disturbed by the flashing/blinking/rapidly changing visual ads. Yes you have to sell ads, but do those ads have to put off people from actually reading the article?
When subscribing through Apple on the “special offer”, they hook you in for a year, and then you can only cancel when the full price subscription for the next year kicks in. No way to cancel before then. This is not made clear when you take the special offer. What a con.
No dark makes reading at night tough on the ice. The app is otherwise smooth and easy to navigate. The content is often good, although it is part of the western narrative machine. The most frustrating part, is that despite me paying for a subscription, I still see adverts. What’s the deal with that?
Help! Get it off my App Store!!! 😭😭😭🤢🤢🤮🤮
What should be a single click ends up being phone calls on hold, a bot passing to next bot. Unbelievable. 15 m later and still not cancelled. Hard sell and blocking. And the primary way of cancelling is phoning!?!?
The contents when on the top stories tab is not readable using Voiceover. This makes the most important part of the app unusable.
I thought my subscription was cancelled in June (NYT informed me they’re about to cancel my subscription) but they continued charging me and increased my monthly fees to $25/month. No joy in getting refunded. Don’t be fooled by specials, they count on you not reading the fine print and have no qualms pushing up your subscription fees 400-600% when they think you aren’t looking.
