The Jerusalem Post

I used to read Jpost everyday. App performance is too poor. So i have to visit Safari to view the jpost site

While I really appreciate Jpost and the news they report, their app is extremely difficult to use. Trying to find specific articles in the app is extremely hard, as they’re all over the place in many different folders, and they’re not organized logically. The main feed page doesn’t display every article either, and it does it in a very confusing way. Trying to change anything about your personal account is near impossible as they don’t have an option to edit your settings. And finally the reason I’m writing this review is that Jpost has started using ads that won’t close on an iPhone. The little x button at the top is so far near the top that it’s impossible to press, making it so that I can’t even get into the app so that it’s pretty much useless. Jpost please fix this!

The “X” which is supposed to close the ad is placed in a location that intentionally,I’m sure, doesn’t allow closing the ad! I believe that this is a money maker for JPost, as closing the app and then reopening it croanother “view” if the ad. KaChink, kachink!

Having subscribed to the so-called “Premium Edition “ at the going rate of $4.99 per month, the JPost app refuses to recognize my subscription when I open it on my iPhone. I am forced to cancel whatever ad immediately appears (though I thought not having advertising was the whole point of the so-called “Premium Edition”) and go back to the page inviting subscriptions to the Premium Access and press a button which has obviously been placed at the bottom to force me to “Restore Purchase”. I have no other subscription through the App Store that does not recognize me as a paying customer. This is a pretty intolerable way of forcing me to see a few ads no matter what I have paid. Or else you have some pretty lousy software engineers. How about playing it straight with subscribers?

It’s hard to believe that in this day and age the JP has such a lame app. Why don’t they invest in an app for the 21st century. The take over ads are usually broken so you can’t even X out of it and you have to open and close the app multiple times to close the app and read the news. They also need to hire people who know how to spell and write in English.

Content is not bad - if you want 10 seconds of news for 4 minutes of pop up ads Absolutely awful

Each time I open app I have to login for my premium access. Extremely frustrating and the only one of my news apps I have to do this.

I keep getting blocked by the same ad and spend a lot of time trying to post your remark the refuses to let you use the nickname you had chosen

I like the content but the ads make me despise the owners of this app. The ads upon opening typically can’t be closed & the (x) is strategically placed so that it can’t be clicked. Your forced to close the app or click on the link within the ad. That is infuriating and a horrible way to run a business!!!!

THE MOST ANNOYING APP IN THE WORLD!!!! TOO MANY ADS... WAY TOO OFTEN!!! 90% of the time, clicking the X to either does NOT close the Ads, takes you to the download anyway!!!
