Customer Reviews

Excellent app for NYT subscribers (4 stars)
Works just as advertised. Had no trouble registering or using.

Many of the 1 star reviews are because most of the content is not free. For a long time I enjoyed the free content on NYT. When they switched to the subscription model it was painful. I tried using other online resources. USA Today is free, and adequate, as are many other resources. But nothing else matches the Times. If you want quality, you have to pay for it.

Requires NYT subscription (1 star)
Requires NY Times subscription. Waste of time without it.
