Newsday App Reviews

This paper is so bad I would never give them a dime, they love illegals and hate cops

I sometimes feel as though I’m listening to CNN, when reading Newsday.

I pay $14.99 a month for this and am often unable to open top stories.

Like a year or more a go the comments section was removed and supposedly a new one was being developed. Still waiting. Apparently Newsday is unable to deal with commenting on poorly written artIcles lacking in details and conforming to their politically correct journalistic standards.

The only reason to get this liberal rag is for coupons and circulars.

Newsday makes it impossible to buy a subscription with its ridiculous app set up. Then they do not allow people to read articles

Pricing for Newsday now is unreasonable. How do you possibly make money from advertising when you are pushing your loyal readers so far away with such astronomical pricing? It’s not even as if you have a wonderful online experience. I don’t understand. I may have been willing to pay something for your “service” even if only for information regarding things to do on the island... because your service leaves much to be desired. However, your inflated pricing is unrealistic and simply nowhere near worth it.

Cannot open the app :(

Can’t believe you guys are charging optimum customers...

Difficult to get around,middle of an article ask to verify subscription,

Okay in it’s news

So much for the new comments section you promised. Obviously you can’t handle the criticism. Thanks

Need to buy Newsday to read it on computer. Bull

News is old, follow the NYT & become a winner!

Ads in app make it impossible to read stories as the ad covers the story .

Rather have a paper in my hand but when not possible I still get my needed Newsday Jeff Ward

Not the best news source Especially when you read a robbery it’s straight from the police blotter no follow up

It’s absolutely absurd to have to pay to see your newspaper online!

Compared to other news. Take the Atlantic which is about $25 for year.

It costs $

Very good but does not go deeply into National and foreign affairs seem to be taking easy on subscribers and needs to do more to follow baseball , etc Overall like the paper very much By el corriere Correct move national international affairs to front Give more coverage Also more baseball stories

You used to be a paper that delivered unbiased news. Now you a mouthpiece for the left

App crashes and locks up, when trying to read today’s paper, if i leave the app and reopen 1st it’s locked up then it crashes. If there is no internet connection you can’t read a downed copy of today’s paper in fact the won’t run. It just sits there with the busy symbol spinning away for ever!

Too liberal. Report news not your opinions!

I actually love Newsday, but can not afford to pay for it online, and am so disappointed that it’s relationship with optimum was cancelled.

App works very well except for the “done” window in the middle of the page. I can’t get rid of it and it will not disappear. This makes it an annoying experience. Please fix.

Print versions of daily newspapers are in decline and hurting financially around the world with almost no exceptions. Even the NYT, by far the best newspaper in the US, misses the income it once derived from large display advertisements. I’ve read Newsday for about 60 years. Today it has sunk to an all-time low. It chronicles auto accidents, small crime, and political corruption like nobody’s business, but what a bad source of news it has become! I just read a long article about how some rich hockey team owner who was sentenced to 20 years in prision will have his sentence revisited because an appeals court ruled that he was represented by “ineffective counsel”. His current attorney who won the review, the appellate court judge, and even the now deceased original sentencing judge were all named. Everybody but the “ineffective counsel”! It immediately struck me as a payoff to keep that attorney’s name out of the newspaper. Corruption is so prevalent and long established on LI that I doubt a single reader will complain. It’s what people have come to expect of Newsday.

If it wasn’t for the crossword we would,have canceled long ago. Delivery is many times late. At best we will go all digital, at worse we will cancel and go with the Post.

Review it for the shock value of how out of touch this rag and it’s believers really are!! Know thy enemy.

Typical liberal rag not worth the paper it’s printed on. Just a matter of time before the close their doors. But joy will come to the world when the Dolan family sees death and destruction by the illegals they proudly support in their disgusting articles.

Now that optimum customers are going to have to pay for access to Newsday I, for one, will not. I can get the same story’s from news 12 app.

I’ve loved the paper since my time on LI. It’s great to be able to read it now that I’ve moved but recently the app will crash. I open “sports” and enter any tram’s page, open ANY article and BAM...bye bye app - crashes every time. PLEASE FIX

App crash s too often and the downloaded editions still need the internet for viewing

Newsday is the thin line protecting us from becoming a kleptocracy. Keep up the exceptional,investigative reporting!

Very liberal paper , never a fair balance report always way to far to the left side

It’s great being able to access Newsday stories on my iPhone, however, it’s frustrating when the app suddenly closed down. It’s also frustrating when you’re in the middle of the story and you automatically redirected to an advertisement, you have to go back into the app and find out where you left off. I hope these improvements come quickly because it really is nice to be connected to the community dinners day.

App worked fine until the last update 2 days ago. Now it won’t load. Just get a spinning wheel. 0 stars for poor QA testing.

Read above

The paper is adequate. I would preferred to see more investigative journalism. It seems they just report the news and do not devote enough hours to investigating. Once a big story breaks, they beat it to death. I would also like to see more sports stories.

Thank you for stoping the comment option. It’s again a pleasure to read like the Newsday we grew up with ..

Enjoy reading newsday in line and flip different sections easily- enjoy the restaunt articles-sports and short business articles -as I travel a lot Newsday’s a great companion

Politically and environmentally Newsday writes for a better tomorrow. They also employ excellent food and television critics.

I’m here in London and it’s a pleasure to catch up on news while I’m on vacation. Love those Yankees

Poorly designed app. Prone to crashes. Gets one star because it is free.

Not sure why but it keeps crashing whenever I open it.

Been tapping into your paper for last 20 years, and faithful reader after graduated high school fo about 20 years, and was a pleasant afternoon paper, but then ,the idiotic liberals got control. Still read bits for my local goings on. How very sad progressive liberals have wrestled control of paper. Guess this is the new age we live in. Still morn the days when you had a quality paper.

The Newsday app needs a major upgrade. It crashes on a daily basis. Also when the word “DONE” appears after focusing on a particular article, you can’t get rid of it.

The website still says $4.99 a month but the price is increasing to $14.99 a month - a massive increase to not receive a paper!

Terrible idea to stop allowing people to post comments about articles you print. If a news story was worthy enough for you to write and publish, then people should be allowed to write there opinion. Especially since the opinion link to an article was already up and running, it wasn’t like you had to design a way to allow opinions to be written. Your brain trust came to the conclusion that the opinions had to be shut down. That’s one of the reasons why you will never rise to the level of the AP or BBC or even The NY Times. Enjoy your second city status and articles about The Who makes the best pizza on and island where every town has 6 pizza parlors

Perhaps the longest running UNSTABLE app I have ever used. Why the issues of instability cannot be rectified is beyond comprehension! And to top it off any nickname which you submit which relates to dissatisfaction is rejected as well

Garbage paper that charges users while still having advertising all over its app. No thanks.

We have been trying to log back in ...the app won’t let us. It just stops working and tells us that our sign in info is wrong!! After much puzzlement and frustration ,It looks like our subscription might be over. Wouldn’t it be great if your app could tell us that it is time to renew, duh! Great customer communications!

Crashes all the time. Can’t even read the articles I get notifications about. Ridiculous.

Zero stars for this app and an up yours to the liberal New York paper. Trump 2020!! Republican party

App crashes every time I swipe left or right to read the next article in the sports section.

As the title stares this paper is an Extremely Liberal radical paper. The writers have been indoctrinated to only see via leftists ideology.

This app has all of a sudden stopped working? Do not know if Newsday is aware of this but when I try to open it it appears to be opening then screen goes black and it boots me back to my apps icons. Usually works perfect. Hopefully will Newsday will read this

Living on Long Island I would wish I could order paper that was not so biased against any Democratic Party. It’s so sad how your local paper is so negative and never talk about the good things in this country but always the bad shame on you Newsday and your editorial department.

Most recent app update applied. Operating iOS 11.4, 10" iPad Pro. Open app and it crashes instantly. Never had this before. Please fix.

Does not work unless I am connect to WiFi.

Crashes more than any other app I’ve used!

App rarely opens. Sometimes it just shuts down when it does. Newsday now makes me pay for this. All other apps work well.

App not opening hello

If you accidentally swipe partially right or left while reading a story, it jumps back to the beginning. Horrible if you are reading a long article and have to find your place again. Update: As of July 15, 2018.....still having the same issue every though they told me they are working on it. They’ve released 15 updates since I first complained about it but they haven’t fixed this small scrolling issue. Guess they don’t care what their end user experience is like.

This is one of the worst apps I’ve ever used. It is slow, and often just hangs and refuses to work. Worst of all, it demands that you be connected to the internet - even if you have downloaded the paper and don’t want any online features, the app will refuse to connect to allow you to view the paper you’ve downloaded. This has been going on for years, with no sign of ever improving. It is especially bad on an iPad (as opposed to phone). I like Newsday as a paper, but this app is just awful.

Compensating with vigorous ,positive features and public info/service!!!

Will update once using the app more. Had a hard time signing in.

I read (or attempt to read) “Today’s Paper” on my ipad. Most days the app will freeze and require reloading. This is true whether you view online or offline. Particularly irritating is the inability to load the offline version without an online connection. Other newspapers I read (NYT and WSJ for example) have much better apps and do not have these issues. So get with it Newsday. The new and improved app let me get to page 52 of 136 pages before freezing. And it only froze once. I guess thats an improvement. 10/2/18 update. Last week app froze and exited 4 times in a day. It does appear Newsday addressed the inability to access downloaded editions offline. Thank you

Good app, easy to navigate, worked great until a couple days ago… App will not open and now shuts down immediately for the past three or four days. Hoping it’s just a bug in or will go back to normal soon.

Weak coverage compared to years past! Too many layoffs! Not enough boots on the ground! Not enough reporters to investigate the politics, politicians and business decisions made and not made!

On what planet does Newsday have to be on to believe they charge for providing this “news”. CNN, Fox and others don’t charge but Newsday does?1?

You just updated the app to fix issues but apparently I have now lost access to using the widget. It keeps telling me to sign in which I continually did and the newsday app opens. But when I go back to the widget it says “ please sign in” . I hope you fix this ASAP as it is happening on my iPhone and iPad.

System is too sensitive to swiping and sliding. Also sports lack the in depth analysis you would expect from a local paper with several professional teams. Also your liberal bias is evident and disheartening. Your reporting many times lacks perspective and jumps to conclusions. I left optimum because of your liberal bias

Just when the Newsday app appears to have technically gone from dismal to very good ratings Altice is taking away the free digital subscription to that Optimum offered its subscribers as of 9/15/18. Newsday is offering a free subscription through 12/31/18 if you sign up online with a credit card. You can avoid giving a credit card by calling (877) 545-4834. After New Years, you can pay to continue Newsday digital for $4.75 a week. I was under the impression Altice was going to improve our dismissal service not delete parts of it.

Great paper Digital should come along With subscription If that will no longer be true I may be eliminating my subscription

I want to change delivery address there is no place on app to change!

A newspaper, a journalist should seek the truth. Not their liberal views. The way the liberal media defense the democrats no matter what crimes they committed, Newsday either ignores the story or turns it around in ways that are ingenuous. Perfect example was Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. Seek the truth not the liberal agenda.

It should remain free

We have been readers and subscribers of Newsday since our marriage in 1959. Both are still going strong!

Newsday stopped reader comments. No discussion of their absurdly biased coverage is allowed. Only read this fish wrap for local events and sports👎

I really enjoy reading Newsday,both in print and electronically.I have been a reader/subscriber of Newsday for over 30 years,and the content,layout and news coverage has been excellent,compared to other NY area newspapers.The content in Newsday is straightforward and accurate,without being sensationalized and overly dramatic.When Newsday allowed subscribers to comment on stories,Newsday went from an A to A+.The comments,whether good or bad,was allowed me to get a pulse on what most people were feeling,and told the story of what people were feeling,but were afraid to say.Our society today is too concerned with protecting the feelings of individuals,and tends to fantasize about how everything should be.Please! Bring back the comments to Newsday! I,along with many other subscribers,were sorry to see it go.I enjoyed the comments as much as the story itself.BRING BACK THE SUBSCRIBER COMMENTS!

I select the paper to read Newsday. When swiping or zooming in on an article it constantly goes to the on-line article. I have to click “Done” to get back to the paper. It does this for every article

One of my joys in life is to read the paper on the ipad w a cup of coffeee in the morning. VERY difficult to do now that they have done something to the app that keeps freezing then shutting down randomly after a few pages of reading the paper. The app is apparently still active in the background but you need to swipe exit/kill app then try again. I hopes the recent updates would address whatever the problem is but nope. Horrible stability and development. Im on the latest version of iOS w a relatively recent ipad.

App works great!

App constantly crashes/freezes. Not worth the aggravation

The app crashes constantly. Clicking on an article which I am interested will cause it to crash and quit. Rebooting my iPad does not help. This has been an ongoing issue for several months and does not allow me to view relevant content from thus newspaper.

I want to manage my subscription but there is no place to do that within the app. Also, navigation is difficult. The app needs a back arrow. Finally, it is difficult to customize. I would like to follow Huntington news but the app is set up for Islip. It doesn’t seem possible to take out Islip from “My Towns.”

Used to log in with a username and now can only use an email, which I never set up.

I don’t know why, but no matter what device I use, this app crashes at some point. Very unreliable and frustrating.

Since I updated the app it doesn't work anymore.

Newsday has been and continues to be an unfair and unbalanced representation of the news. Simply a tool of the liberal left wing

Money hungry rag. Kicking out subscribers.

Keep you updated and has more information than any other news channel love you guys!!!

App is constantly crashing today. Also, only one edition is available online. Why not other additions?

Paper never delivered on time

Latest update does nothing but keep shutting down app. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling still same problem What am I paying for ???

Too left wing

This is the only app I use that when a photo is clicked on, it doesn't get larger. Disappointing.

Bring back the comments section ASAP. We the people need to speak our minds in an open fashion.
