Haaretz English Edition for Android
Looks nice, content is good and interesting (if sometimes not as deeply researched as it should be to provide more support). The amount of stuff locked up in a subscription is annoying, but I get by alright. The advertisements are a but annoying when, after it takes over the screen, you accidentally click it in trying to close it.
Could not even read one article without being forced to sign up for a 2-Week Trial Subscription, and then pay to read. There are better and free Israel news apps available. Goodbye Haaretz. Hello Arutz 7!
A Jewish app that has a paid subsctiption WITH ads, WOW and I have been tying to defend the Jewish community by saying they arent theifs, obviously the creators of this app are.
Slow, sluggish, the ads are loading fast though :( uninstall.
Horrible news outlet. Very leftist and biased. Not what a news delivery outlet should be. Let people be the judge.
An absolute disgrace. Shameful collection of hate-filled articles and opinions.
Bullshit news from the terror state israel
Dump!
Safi sana (very good)
App keeps crashing and restarting while trying to enter my subscription email and password. Help! Also, too many permissions.
Can we get a tablet version?
a fine app, when the headline page isn't covered by an ad you can't close (and that's with paid subscription). The ad is gone again so my rating is back to five stars
I can only read Haaretz on my desktop and it still asking me to subscribe, what is going on Haartez? get your act together., but impossible to open articles on my Android. I have sent already three notes asking for help...NO RESPONSE.. Very disappointed. If I do not get satisfaction I will cancel my digital subscription.
There is no reason to require access to as many things as they are asking for. My privacy is more important than their product. Why do you need call information? Why do you need wifi information? I have NO interest in sharing through social media. Why do access to photo/media/files? Why don't you develop under the newest Android standards so I can set the privileges I want you to get? Why do I now have to upgrade to get any data from you? All I see right now is a data greedy company. Your response only replied to a few of my complaints. The new version is still a security nightmare. Please fix it.
So I am dumping the app...
I have several news apps, and whenever any major foreign event occurs, Haaretz is the first to send the headline to my phone. However, most of my alternative news apps are US news organizations, and I cannot speak for the accuracy of the headlines, due to more knowledge being uncovered.
Great news cite, with many mechanical problems. Fix them!!!
As a paying subscriber I would expect to be spared the advertisement. Furthermore I cannot search for articles in the app. Last not least, this app requires far too many permissions. What's all that about? ??
The app is working great when they take away the big ad that sometimes blocks the headlines. I have made it my mission to adjust my rating depending on whether that ad Is present or absent. I forgot to do that this morning (sc. evening Israel time). (I'm still disappointed that my $100 doesn't give me subscriber's access to the Hebrew edition.)
From the lack of app-wide search, to the failure of its text resizing "feature" (fails in Android 5.1.1), the generally dull execution in terms of layout, fontology, navigation - indeed, the entire aesthetics & ergonomics of the app is an insult to the collective efforts of the editorial staff.

Slow, buggy, full of distracting ads. The worst app on my phone, by far. As a subscriber, I expect less or no ads, quick access, stability and a decent search function.
Sharing doesn't work. Formatting is sub-standard. It's clear that the publisher doesn't really care, since similar comments were posted 2 years ago. Take a look at WSJ app and just copy it, OK?
Brilliant journalism. Criminally incompetent app. I think an "Oy vey" is warranted.
Its really annoying that the paid subscription is full of ads, ads that blink and are really distracting. The stories are slow to load. This is the worst app that I've paid for.
Advertisement is covering newspaper in App and closeable. And this is paid subscription and logged in. (Great newspaper but App has always been terrible. But now literally unreadable).
Like Israel itself, this app is awful.
There's a giant advertisement that's impossible to close that blocks the content. Literally impossible to read the news
Thank you
Advertisements have gone too far. I'm removing and cancelling my subscription
Takes forever to load on 60Mbs Wi-Fi. "Opentech" appears clearly not up to the task...App hasnt been updated since 2014 for Gods sake...read Haaretz daily via website. Its beyond my comprehension how this poor an app could last so long without any attempt to fix the obvious
The app takes forever to open, then gives you a full screen ad even though you're a paid subscriber. The current version does not let you read the comments. Crazy that an Israeli company cannot to a better app.
The best there is in news
Impossible to read properly on my tablet. For a paid subscription that is a disgrace.
I can't even remove the advertisement taking all the space on front of page. I was not even able to read. Awful (UNINSTALL)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Journalism - Terrible app
Doesn't work well on HTC Android
Good
Part of the reason I wanted this app was to share interesting articles on Twitter and WhatsApp. But, it doesn't work. Can somebody fix it?

Very slow to load and then annoyed by an advert loading on top of it. I won't be renewing my suscrption. There is no point in signing up and getting all those adverts when Ynet is free of charge. Pity as Haaretz is my favourite newspaper in Israel.
