More often than not, I open a story and it hangs. I have to go back to the main page, and try to re-open it several times. Links do not open at all. The pictures are repeated throughout the story, and when there's a detailed diagram etc, they can't be opened or viewed in any detail to make them out. It need a night mode with white text on black background. It needs an option to share stories. This is a very frustrating app with really poor interface.

Still problematic I don't know what it is about the National Post 's website but it ALWAYS loads slow and freezes up. Every... single... time. Simply scrolling up and down is an exercise in frustration. So I thought I might get better results with the app. Apparently not. The exact same problems came up. I'm on an LG G2 and I don't have these problems on other sites or apps. What is it with The National Post that continually fails to work properly?

Unreliable Frozen on content from 4 days ago. Followed all instructions to reinstall to no avail. Did this several times. Does this on computer also. I am a subscriber. Dumb. Update: Last night received 1 Dec news which today still shows. Dumb. Update: Still on 1 Dec news after clearing,uninstall, and reinstall. Dumb. UPDATE: Stuck on 21 Dec. Removed, used C Cleaner, reinstalled. Still on 21 Dec. Dumb.

"loading stories" freezes on both Samsung Android Tablet and Phone, and the app hangs at the "Loading Stories" screen, after having loaded advertisement at the bottom of the screen. Their "fix" of " clear data for the app (Manage Apps > National Post > Clear Data) or uninstall your current version and reinstall the latest 1.3.6 version which fixes this issue" does not work. They are not paying attention to the large number of 1/5 lowest ratings of all apps on Google Play, and are not really fixing the problem which has been highlighted since June 2015 (a year ago).

Easy to use; needs a little more Very easy to use. However, I'd like to be able to save articles (the full articles for offline reading as well as links) in a list that I can access later. I'd also like to be able to share articles by copying the links and sending them through social media services like I can with other news apps. Oftentimes want to share an article on Facebook and I can't.

Can't Share Articles I've been reading the ratings and this subject is a constant. At least answer our concerns and let us know your not planning to fix.

Good content, crumpy app Content freezes for many days and lack of share button is ridiculous.

Strat Strat September 10, 2015

Where's the share button? I'm pretty sure this app used to have a share button....but now when I'm in an article....no share button anywhere. Fix please!

Daniel Avitan November 24, 2015

No ability to share There is no ability to share articles. Please correct this issue.

C Louis April 26, 2016

Nice and free but slow loading Good basic news app, most importantly it's still free !

James Cook May 20, 2016

Bigger thumbnails The thumbnails by the story heading are so small I can't make out what they are. Great content, boring and unattractive UI

Steve Dinicol October 17, 2015

National Post censored Andre Coyne National Post was unwilling to publish Andrew Coyne's column at the end of the election because it did not support Harper. If I want censorship I will move to China. DELETE.

Nina Gormanns April 20, 2016

Ability to download articles but no share feature Nice that the app offers feature to download articles for offline reading. Missing a feature to share articles, e.g. on Facebook, Twitter.

Brian Prashad June 9, 2016

Can't Share Articles I was easily able to share articles using a Moto G but can't do it with my Samsung Galaxy S7. Terrible.

Eric Waddell August 24, 2015

Bad story loads Load Story X. Switch to Story Y, Story X shows up.

Sharon Moseson December 1, 2015

Old old stories. ... Today is Dec 1st.... all the stories are from 25 Nov.... i have cleared the cache, the data and uninstalled and reinstalled. ..to no avail

Matt Harris June 16, 2016

You'd think a news site would like it's stories shared. But I guess not. Get your "share" button back

Jason Hills February 1, 2016

Great news app Works very well on my LG G3 phone and also an older Acer tablet.

Chuck Stevenson November 4, 2015

Terrible app Only portrait

Works for me Browse read and share stories. Works for me.

Mike Hannan May 26, 2016

I do not care what anyone says...I like the app. 😉

Alfred Lam July 1, 2016

Have it for a while, been good to me

Nathan Elberg November 10, 2015

Keeps on stopping

Nima Mehregani November 12, 2015

Biased content

Greg Hamilton January 25, 2015

What the? I love the content, and I used to love the app. Lately, it seems now like you hired someone from the Toronto Star to do your updates, each of which is worse than the last. More blank pages, app starts randomly on Fin Post section, rendered almost useless. I'm no developer, but how hard is it to display some text?

Tyler Urzada January 18, 2015

Used to work OK...but now... Useless. "Missing image". I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Even before when it did work the offline reading was buggy and always had been. While switching between stories offline sometimes all the content would be lost for no apparent reason.

A Google User January 26, 2015

Why does this app keep breaking!?!? It seems a couple times a year I can't use this app because it stops working all of a sudden. I prefer to.read the National Post but at least the Globe and Mail always works.

Lizz Hodgson April 4, 2015

Just plain bad Love NP content, but they need to fire their app developer. Constantly crashes, broken links, won't load... Basic stuff.

Rupert Love October 30, 2014

decent It's a bit slow to load but the content is good enough to make up for it. I also like how you can download the articles for offline reading. And I want to thank whoever made the decision to omit the comment section, the troll posts and inane ramblings of the "average Joe" are not newsworthy and it's a breath of fresh air to see that someone in this world realises this.

Indelible Bonobo October 7, 2014

Good content, execrable app NP (the paper) has both fans and detractors but its app has none of the former, unless you count shills as fans. It is the slowest app I ever used. It made me reevaluate my news reading habits.

Tom Malcolmson January 26, 2015

Has ads masquerading as real stories - disclaimer only at end of story/ad. I found a story that sounded interesting, and read the whole thing. At the very end I found a disclaimer "This story was produced by Postmedia’s advertising department in collaboration with GE." This story was listed with all the other stories and not distinguished in any way other at the end - so you don't know its an ad until you've read the whole thing. I understand that media companies are hard up, so I'm quite accepting of their efforts to find revenue, but this is crossing the line.

Mike January 16, 2015

Decent I like the rotating stories over the day, but the app crashes often and I'm reinstalling right now hoping to fix a bug where none of the articles will load for me. Otherwise it's a good app considering it's free.

L Vettor January 17, 2015

News items are gone (Android) Was excellent . Nothing to read now. When selecting an article from the list of titles, it only returns this message, 'missing image'. Cleared cache, reinstalled. Same thing.

Vu Nguyen January 18, 2015

App no longer working For the past few days, when you try to load an article, all it display is "Missing picture" and nothing more. Uninstalled and reinstalled as suggested, but problem is still there. Uninstall for good this time.

A Google User January 27, 2015

Does not work!!!! App is broken! No news updates, no top stories and its taking way to long to fix.

Gare man January 25, 2015

Missing or loading please fix Newest version worse than the last. Some sections load while the vast majority don't. Poorly programmed app poorly supported.

Jim F April 7, 2015

App is broken I did the reinstall as suggested. I did the Clear data as suggested. I have the latest version that is supposed to fix the loading bugs. But now....NO STORIES / TEXT IS LOADED!!!!!!!?.PLEASE FIX!!!

Jason Klein January 26, 2015

Garbage App Good newspaper but their app is often broken and they are slow to fix it. Shameful.

Seamus O'Rooney April 6, 2015

Fix the app, people Fire the app dept and start over. CBC does a far better job on their app, and that's saying something. FIX NOW

Mike Di Pinto April 5, 2015

Not working No news article updates since March 31, 2015! Cleared the cache, same issue, then uninstalled and reinstalled, same issue.

What's New
