Haaretz Tablet Edition for Negative User Reviews
✓ Limited useNicely laid out but useless unless you subscribe. Nowadays you can get the same news from so many other sources for free.Version: 2.0
✓ EPIC FAIL!You have to PAY A subscription fee ($129/yr or $12.99/mo) to read articles that are offered for FREE on the internet. EPIC FAIL on the ads too..FULL PAGE ADS! I am deleting this app..Version: 1.0
✓ Constant crashingThis app crashes regularly, apparently on an article by article basis. And you have to pay for this privilege..Version: 2.0
✓ Requires paid subscriptionThey should say straight up what the app costs. You can't even read a synopsis without getting the subscription..Version: 2.0
✓ Great reporting, awful techIt seems Haaretz has not maintained the iPad app. It is outdated and buggy—as many others have noted. I cannot it to recognize my online subscription..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Complete failureCrashes. Exits articles constantly and goes to some weird ad page. An altogether awful app. I am hoping for a quick update. The content is fabulous. It's just the app that is so bad. As of Nov 18, 2012 -- Improved, but still crashes ALL THE TIME. I can't read articles in today's paper because they won't download at all. Again, the content is among the best in the world, but the app is one of the worst among hundreds I've tried..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Not a retina appI have to say, I'm very disappointed that anyone would launch an iPad app now and not support the retina iPad properly. The text and the fonts are OK, but the images, graphics and logo look horrible. Really, they couldn't even create a retina Haaretz logo for the top of the page. Haaretz content is always great and I'm glad to be able to get in on the iPad. I'd just like a decent app in order to consume it..Version: 1.0
✓ Useless App - Website is Far BetterThe Haaretz iPad app is the single worst news app I have. It’s an unmitigated UI disaster. As just one small example out of many, the headlines are truncated to an arbitrary length that differs depending on whether your iPad is in portrait or landscape orientation. There is absolutely no way to view the entire headline, leaving the reader to guess at what the missing portion of the headline says, which is just insane. It’s been this way for year upon year, so clearly the developers have either abandoned this app or simply don’t care about its users. The iPhone app, which is a different app from this iPad app, is somewhat better. But for anyone attempting to read Ha’aretz in English on an iPad, the only rational solution is to ignore the app entirely and just view the site in a browser. All of which is, to reiterate, insane..Version: 2.3.3
✓ Not goodTakes far too much disk space in use. Bugs. Badly placed ad. Unhelpful product support. I hope this gets better. Months have passed since I first wrote this. But it the problem hasn't been fixed. Most problematic is the amount of disk space it takes up. Now, it is 1.8 gb, with no back issues saved. Not sure how much longer I will subscribe, if they don't fix this. It's a lot of money for a bad app..Version: 1.0.1
✓ The app crashes constantlyWhile Haaretz is a serious newspaper, the app for Haaretz online crashes after each attempt to read one article on an iPad. After paying for a yearly subscription, this is very disappointing..Version: 2.2
✓ AdsNice new version but now comes with ads even for paying subscribers.Version: 2.0
✓ JunkInstalled it twice but once opened it never showed anything but a blue field with the word "Haaretz". Can't believe it could be so bad!.Version: 2.0
✓ Natan NaimarkI fully agree with reviewer Stuart Wilder. I have also tried writing to them, and haven't received any response. I would add that those problems come from before october 6, and that (for example right now, october 9) the app is not fully updated. It shows for example the opinion pieces from friday, whereas the web site shows the updated ones. Very disapointing, and very enervating..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Rubbish ap with no feedback mechanism.Subscribed to Haaretz, loaded the iPad ap, and it freezes every time. Suspect it is looking for feedback from its site, or it picks up the iTunes email settings, which may not match the user profile at subscription. Worse, there appears no way of contacting the ap issuer to find what is going on. Typical take it or leave it attitude. Will leave it..Version: 2.2
✓ UnusableThis app is unusable. A full page ad for Haaretz social media pops up every time you try scrolling, and clicking anywhere brings you to a Facebook link. There's no apparent way to get back to the article -- or any part of Haaretz, for that matter! Haaretz is a great news source, but their app programming skills -- especially after forcing their readers to pay up -- are nothing short of atrocious. Don't bother with this app, and just log on to the site through a browser..Version: 1.0
✓ UghHad to delete and read in safari. Paged scrolling is awful Haaretz select is a download for some reason Takes up too much disk space after like a week of reading.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Ok first attempt...but needs workAs a subscriber, I found the presentation good, but the user interface in this first version has "traps" that are ridiculous. Particularly annoying is a continuous popup that says "thank you for using the app" That you have to pinch to get rid of. It pops up all the time while scrolling the app making the web verision of haaretz much easier to read than this app. In some cases, the only way to get rid of the popup is to terminate the app. A particularly annoying feature is the "auto scrolling" that jumps to the next paragraph when turning pages in the same article, typically hiding the text I wanted to read. It should just scroll like a normal web page!!! Good luck programmers. I'll try it again when you update..Version: 1.0
✓ Truly Miffed!I have a subscription to the online version of the paper so, how come I don't have automatic access to the app??? Absolutely not right. So I have to have two subscriptions to the same publication now? Love the paper hate the ethics!.Version: 1.0
✓ Can't get beyond iPad registration screenRegistration screen does not allow the required country selection. Technical registration bug..Version: 2.0
✓ CrashesSince new iOS update today, app crashes on trying to open. This despite reset, removing and reinstalling app. Too bad. Wanted news on Brussels..Version: 2.0
✓ Use the websiteThe old version of the app, bad as it was, had some advantages over using the website (you could download the articles and read them on airplane mode, for example). Now, all of these advantages are gone.... Use the website and save yourself the trouble of download this app!.Version: 2.0
✓ Pretty good newspaper, terrible appI love reading Gideon Levy's editorials, and I was hoping to do that with this app. But it doesn't load, it just shows the blue intro screen forever and ever. Better to just access Haaretz through Safari..Version: 2.0
✓ Worst news app I’ve used - and I have used a lot of themHorrible interface. And this from the StartUp Nation?! Seems to display only in portrait mode. Looks like an Iphone app on the Ipad. Way better to just use a web browser, although that does not allow effective off-line reading..Version: 5.17
✓ Bad Enough to Think About UnsubscribingFrequently freezes in the title page. Frequently crashes when trying to bring up an article. Article introductions are incomplete. "Related Articles" are un-dated. Is the the famed Israeli technology? Shame, shame..Version: 2.0
✓ HorribleAbsolutely horrible attempt to create profit. Most articles require a subscription (unlike almost every other newspaper app out there). I used to read Haaretz everyday, however their latest attempts to make money are just frustrating..Version: 1.0
✓ Too many ads!This app has a lot of full screen ads, even though I am a subscriber. I will not be a future subscriber if this continues..Version: 1.0
✓ Last versionIt is not free as advertised. I would like to nu-installed, how? Thanks.Version: 1.0
✓ Only opens in portrait modeVery disappointing.Version: 5.25
✓ DisappointingThe app is ok in general but two things make it very frustrating to use: 1) most articles require you to download the entire issue to read them and this takes forever; 2) pages scroll down an entire screen at a time so that if you scroll before reading the full screen you lose the bottom of the screen you haven't yet read. Because of these two flaws I find myself more often reading Haaretz on my computer or iPhone..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Terrible NavigationBesides scrolling through the entire paper (and not finding key articles), without a search engine on the iPad it is impossible to find what one is looking for. AND it does not look like Haaretz cares - the situation has been aggravating for years: look at the number of bad reviews..Version: 2.0
✓ Full screen ads are disruptiveI'm paying for a subscription and this app is disrupting my reading of every article with fullscreen ads. I will now be deleting it and reading the website, which is far less obtrusive. Which is stupid, because apps are supposed to give you a clean and easy reading experience, not be LESS pleasurable than the web. This app gets a GIANT FAIL in my book. It's a shame..Version: 1.0
✓ Unlock articles!!Unlock articles.Version: 1.0.1
✓ DisasterCrashes all the time. Log in sometimes works, usually doesn't..Version: 2.0
✓ Shameful, waste of time, blows chunks!Constant interruptions with full page ads, especially repeated requests to link to Facebook which I do not want to do, ever. Navigation falls into traps that require killing app in background to escape. "Contact us" mail link doesn't work. Single-handedly destroys stereotype of Israelis being smart and gifted in high-tech. Only freiers would download this app..Version: 1.0
✓ Not as it appearsThis is a complete rip off under the guise of being free, you will find almost everything is restricted unless you fork over 12.99 a month. The only thing that's free is the app, Haaretz charges for the content. Apple should be a little more up front on this one.Version: 1.0
✓ Terrible-doesn't work and no supportI paid for this back in May as I received numerous messages telling me the iPad would arrive any day. After an over-two month wait, it's finally here. And it doesn't work. And customer service wants me to tell them why it doesn't work. Stick with your browser. Not worth the time, energy and certainly not worth any money!.Version: 1.0
✓ Worst haaretz app yetI'm not sure why they keep failing so miserably with these apps. It's sad that I cancel my subscription because of an inability to present me with a newspaper. Honestly simply scanning the paper into a PDF would be a huge improvement over this..Version: 1.0
✓ So badSuch a shame their journalism has to be presented within this awful app.Version: 5.21
✓ Can’t loginApplication keeps telling me “network error” when I try to login and read articles. That’s not how paid subscription should work..Version: 2.3.3
✓ App works fine...but be prepared for liberalism that makes the New York Times look like right wing extremists..Version: 2.0
✓ It is impossible to cancel this subscription!It is impossible to cancel this subscription! The app has a Manage Subscription link in Settings, but it brings you to a general iTunes page. Searching on Haaretz brings you to the Harvard Review..Version: 1.2
✓ DreckPage scrolling is hardly fluid; I have to keep scrolling up to get back to where I was reading. Why is Select a separate download? Even after downloading it, it doesn't seem that the section to delete prior downloads words, since it looks as if I've not downloaded anything. Buggy and very limited; better off reading in Safari. I thought they had decent IT in Israel, but perhaps not..Version: 1.0.1
