NYTimes: US and Global News

Storytelling about how racist presidents and leaders are saint like. Always a biased story to lecture and preach. No news, all the time….a waist of time. Can’t get past the headlines.

Good diversity of opinions. Great depth and breadth of topics covered.

I think the content is great, but getting updated news is often buggy.

If you listen to an NYT article, it autoplays into podcast. There is no way to turn this off. Please add a way to turn off auto play. This is really annoying.

CAUTION they have added new un-skippable full screen ads that play before you can read some articles. This is with a paid subscription.

I used to read the news every day on the app, with time spent on the app varying from a quick 3-minute update to ample time reading articles and going down information rabbit holes with their connected articles/references. I loved how non-biased it was and how much they retained dignity through their professional language and headlines. Now, the headlines read like they are trying to appeal to internet-language and there is a clear bias creeping into the stories under the veil of fact-based information. The facts are clearly true, but facts about the other side of the arguments are clearly left out. Before, I felt that they would acknowledge what the other side is claiming and, if necessary, just say it was not confirmed. I liked this about the app the most. One of the worst things they did was try to algorithmically cater news to people based on what they were seemingly interested in. It is your job as reporters to designate what is most important, and while you cannot cover everything in this world, you are clearly favoring stories about certain struggles/conflicts in the world that you know people will click to read because it is what is being talked about most in the United States. Every little detail of the Gaza situation is reported, and rightly so as it is an area of conflict with great impact on the whole world and cultural issues that have not been solved for centuries; however, that does not take away from the fact that there are people are dying and numerous untold stories in civil wars in Sudan, Myanmar, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and surely other places. You are supposed to inform the public about important things we have never heard about and not simply supply details about the Ukraine/Russia and Isreal/Gaza/Lebanon situations every minute. I felt the coverage of the issues in Sudan especially were scarce. That is a shame when I look at the statistics and some of the stories on the conflicts in the aforementioned countries. I see stories that I am shocked by on the internet and it angers me that I do not know exactly how true some of the stories are because they are not told by trusted, valued sources that are fact-checked and backed by the integrity of an institution such as the New York Times. I would assume such stories may not be true if I cannot find any corroborating information through this app, but now I am afraid there are just no stories covering such conflicts because the NYT are too concerned with the popular opinio

Purely a review of the app, not news content: after a few years this app was taking up 10gb of space, the largest single app on my phone after photos - more than audible or podcasts. I never download multimedia content or tell it to save. What content is behind that space? Saved articles? Auto-downloaded stuff? Totally unclear. Please provide an app that repeats u user on-phone data more.

I’ve noticed that this year the news has become much more leaning towards favoring news that benefits billionaires.
