The Irish Times News Ratings and Reviews

Unworthy

This app reeks of troglodyte meddling, or management who have bonuses how to dealbwith this technology. Don't expect a worthwhile experience of the print edition this uber lite model on a pay platform will leave you dry and sore. Please include all editorial and features in future editions and leave your market research which gives us sports and business galore behind in App crèche.

Notifications are awful

Good app but recommend turning off notifications as they are ceaseless and have a very low bar for what they consider worthy of a push. Just got a one about phone addiction which strikes me as incredibly ironic as they push many times during the day for seriously low-importance stuff. It’s a pity because I would keep them on for relevant breaking news and a few key opinion pieces, but they really go overboard

Better than reading from safari

Decent first app. Smooth and clean feel. Beats having a link to the Irish times website as print too small on the mobile version. Keeps me up to date on Ireland from NYC.

Dreadful. Was fine before

They used to have a perfectly good app which is now replaced by a much less user friendly one. It crashes frequently and won’t work offline. I cancelled subscription and hope they can improve it. Only reason for 2 stars is that it’s Irelands paper of record

Additional functions needed to make this a 5 star

Provide the ability to search for articles and when scrolling through a story, bookmark it there and then.

New update cripples home page

This app used to be a fairly easy to use, simple mobile interface for accessing Irish Times content. With the most recent update, however, the home page is poorly formatted, where images for stories now cover up half of the article title - rendering the app more or less unusable.

Don’t download

One of the worst apps I’ve ever DL’d on my iPhone. The developers thought it was a good idea to continually check if you’re logged into iCloud — if you’re not, a dialog box appears and reappears etc requiring you to turn off your phone to be able to get out of the app.

Terrible

The old app worked fine and had more articles. But the updated version is terrible. It freezes and won't go back on the previous article and you can only read about 3 article before it crashes and won't work

Lacking in Content

This looks and feels good, but I'm a bit surprised at how few articles actually load into the app. For the price, I expected more content.
