2/5The Irish Times app is deeply disappointing
For a newspaper that was very early on the Internet in Ireland the app is a dud. My biggest complaint is that the front page repeats the same stories multiple times while “hiding” a lot of good material inside. They clearly don’t invest in it. Do better, TIT!

2/5Notifications 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

1/5Not secure
I have a dozen news apps and this is the only one where I have to turn off my device security (Privacy Pro) before it will load.

2/5Dreadful. 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

4/5Better 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.
