The New York Times app is getting worse. I subscribe to get news. NYT recently added a bunch of navigation tabs to different non-news sections, with "Today" (I e., News) somewhere in the middle. "Home" takes you to the first tab, which is NOT news. I have the separate cooking and games apps for which I also have subscriptions. When I open the news one, I want to read news. Please make the NEWS default when you open the app. Also remove the "You" recommenders to avoid reader-bubbles.

I'm really frustrated. I am a paying member and was told by the app that articles that I share can be viewed for free. But apparently it's not free, because The Times requires an email address to be viewed. Personal information is absolutely not worthless. I also pay $25 month and still have to watch a 15 second ad before playing a 50 second news clip. It feels like I'm a free user who still has to pay. A lot too. More than Netflix, or Hulu, or Wondrium, heck even more than Prime.

News content good but new version introduced in late 2024 is vastly worse user interface. Commonly used features like most popular articles which used to be one tap away now require scrolling and multiple taps. Updating which used to happen in the background now results in a spinning wheel each time you open the app, even when preferences are set to update in the background. Most read articles has not updated in almost a week. I've uninstalled and reinstalled on a Galaxy s22. Worse all around
