Ratings and reviews

Content good; app not good. On opening, it takes a half-minute to finish "updating" in order to display the opening page. Every other news app I've used or seen opens immediately with the most current, up-to-the-moment news. It is beyond me how this NY Times news app is constructed so poorly. It functions as if one of the app engineers inserted a thirty second delay loop into the opening code. They've known about this, and still haven't fixed it. Don't any of them ever use the actual app?

The New York Times is wonderful. The app... not so much. I repeatedly struggle to find links to articles and new features, even when those features are actively promoted elsewhere. The app is far slower to update than the web version, and is still missing links to new games introduced months ago. Animations and interactive graphics don't display properly in the app, either. Just today I saw an article that suggested readers "use your mouse." I guess the NYT thinks we're all on desktop PCs!

Very poor authentication technology. The app stopped recognizing my login as i tried to go back to the crossword puzzle. Then it raised another login page to continue. I was still logged into the main paper. I tried logging in anyway and the login failed with an error. Then i tried completely logging out, force stop app, cleared cache and logging back in again, which failed. Now i can't read the articles. Why does this happen? The WaPo app doesn't do this and works just fine.
