Search. I really like the idea of the app, but I have two issues. The first is that search sorting/filtering is non existent or difficult to find. I really enjoy following the economy and obviously I’d like to see the most recent articles at the top of the search results. I can’t find any sorting options on search, or any real understanding of how you render search results. Makes it really hard to find the most recent articles you offer. Second is more narrated stories, but I imagine that comes with time

Good start but needs navigation improvement. I like the idea of it but it’s frustrating to use. The interface is too graphical, so headlines get cut off and it’s hard to figure out what the article is about. It lacks the ease of organization of the regular paper - no organization by category or section. And it lacks something I think the Post does well, which is to have the articles read aloud by the phone - perfect for when you are out walking or can’t stare at the screen. I appreciate the original content but it’s presented in a cluttered and confused way.

The future is now. I think everything should be available in audio—including newspapers. In our world of multitasking (like it or not it’s here to stay), it’s great to be able to listen to NYT news and podcasts while I’m getting ready and taking the kids to school, etc. Yeah, I like to actually read articles too when I have downtime, but this is my preferred way to start the day.

Not bad, but has accessibility issues. I was excited when this app was finally released. For the most part, it's decent, not great! I have 2 issues with the app. 1 issue is mostly my personal opinion, the other is actually a much larger concern. First, a lot of the audio are podcast audio that I can get anywhere else for free, without a NY Times subscription. With this app, not only does it require a subscription, but I still have to listen to the ads that usually go into the free podcast feeds. So why do I have to do this? I'm paying for a subscription but still have to hear ads. Second issue. There is an accessibility issue with the app that makes it much less pleasant to control audio playback. I've reached out to the support team, but unfortunately, my feedback was not taken as seriously as I hoped. I was given the usual, have I tried reinstalled the app, cleared the cache, etc etc, none of these have anything to do with accessibility. Obviously, I did not reach the right person. I'm hoping this review will reach someone who can pass it on to the people who understands. The lack of accessibility support is taking pleasure listening away from me. Please make it accessible.

Why does this app even exit?. Why does the New York Times insist on a fragmented media experience for their subscribers? Their podcasts can be consumed in my podcast player of choice so why do I need a NYT app to listen? Why are their article audio versions hard to hear? The Washington Post has, for quite a while, put audio playing links in the web pages right with the story. Why do I need to leave my web experience to go find the associated audio article? That’s not how I consume the news. On my social media of choice, I find links to articles. If they’re Washington Post articles I can easily choose to read or listen. If they’re New York Times links I can read with no choice to listen unless I load this app and search for the article. Please put links on your web pages and ditch this fragmented media app.

Perfect until it started crashing. Just in the last week the app has started to crash, and I’ve noticed my iPhone hearing up significantly while the app is running. At first I thought it wasn’t updated, but it is. Then I thought I didn’t have enough space to run it despite have 20+ GB free, so I freed up even more space. I deleted and downloaded the app again, restarted my phone, and checked online for any tips. The overheating aspect is very concerning, and if it continues unfortunately I’ll have to unsubscribe to NYT because I only use my subscription for the audio. Overheating like that will cut into the life of my phone.

Finally!. I’ve been waiting almost two years for this app, ever since Audible canceled the NYT Digest. The app is easy to navigate. The audio is much more than a digest of NYT stories, but is specifically recorded for audio, complete with sound clips and additional audio elements where appropriate. I do enjoy the audio storytelling, however I wish they offered a broader selection of stories from the daily NYT. Maybe that’s coming. I’m just happy to have another option for audio entertainment on my hour-long commute each day.

Love the 'Reporter Reads'. Other than collecting all of the NYTimes podcasts into one place, and the new headlines morning podcast, I really appreciate the reporters themselves reading their articles for the app. Having the author of the content read it makes it much more engaging and interesting to listen to, and provides a much better experience than other similar apps, like from The Atlantic.

Disappointed Audm Subscriber. I’ve been a devout subscriber to Audm for years. Being able to listen to a diversity of publishers in the car has been a great pleasure. And seeing the continuous improvement of the user interface really made me love the app. With the Audm app being phased out and moved to the NYT app, I got onto the NYT app for the first time. Immediately I was disappointed to see their lack of available articles. Somehow a Vanity Fair article I was midway through listening to on Audm is not available on the NYT app. While I was excited at first to see the other content that was being provided, the reality is it mostly distracts from the articles that I had originally subscribed to hear. All the podcast and curated topics just make the articles hard to find. For now I’ll be unsubscribing and hoping an app will come that can provide the service I loved on Audm.

Why only in this app?. I love NYT in general. I’m a subscriber. I listen to The Daily — well, daily. I’m liking the new Headlines podcast too. But as a subscriber, it pisses me off that I am forced to use this app to get some of the podcasts. NYT is not the ONLY thing I listen to. I prefer the Overcast app which has just the listening control I want and allows me to set up my own play list where I select the episodes and order I want to listen from a variety of podcast sources according to my own priorities, not a single source with a priority chosen by your editors. I know I could manually jump around inside this app and between apps, but that’s not what I want to do! I set up my daily list and never have to switch apps all day. This is my first significant disappointment with NYT.

Has destroyed a great app. I really wish I I could like this app more. I am a big fan of the Daily and Ezra Klein, but I am deeply distressed at what is basically the destruction of AudM one of the best apps created. This app offers a small fraction of other publications compared to what AudM had offered. I can understand why The New York Times might want to buy AudM but I can’t understand why they had to destroy it. What the New York Times is offering as well as the original AudM could have existed independently of each other. This new app is extremely disappointing - most of its offerings do not compare in the variety or depth that AudM offered. I will continue to listen to The Daiky and Ezra Klein but have little use for the rest of this app. Hopefully someone else will create a new AudM.

Should sync across devices. I use this app both on my iPhone and my two iPads. I was surprised that the app doesn’t sync across the device. All devices are logged into the same account, but what I have in one devices queue doesn’t show up in the other. That’s not very convenient. Also there’s no handoff between devices. For example, I’m listening to this audio on my phone and I’m switching to my iPad as I settle down at my desk to work. I can’t have them app from the phone hand off to the iPad. This feature can be useful. Please implement both sync across devices and handoff.

Disappointing replacement for Audm. I am a regular NYT subscriber, but Audm was my favorite app for listening to articles. It had a diversity of content paired with an easy to use, attractive, clean interface. I agree with the other reviewers who find the NYT Audio app cluttered, difficult to navigate, and pushing stories in which I’m not interested. My pet peeve is how unintuitive it is to build your queue from a diverse range of publications and then how unintuitive it is to then manage that queue as you’re listening. Why is it not possible to delete the article you’re currently listening to? Or to easily skip to the next one? I don’t want to suddenly listen to stories about murder while I’m making breakfast with my young kids! I was able to find how to activate other publications, but it’s so hard to find articles from them, and it was so unintuitive that I understand other reviewers’ frustration. Some of my favorite publications from Audm are no longer available in this app, which is by far the biggest loss. One of the things I liked the least about NYT articles read, even when in Audm, was the NYT habit of having their reporters read their own articles. Professional voice work is a job for a reason. I would happily go back to paying separately for Audm.

Viva Audm, down with NYT audio. I LOVED Audm and I mourn its loss/conversion to NYT Audio every single day. Why is the NYT Audio search interface so bad? Why can’t you filter stories by date or publication? Why is there not an accessible listening history or way to organize up-next stories in a queue with some design principles? Why do they make NYT journalists narrate their own stories when there are professional narrators who are pleasant to listen to that could do a better job? Why are there stories read by AI when I am paying a fee for this service? I appreciate that it’s hard out here in the media landscape but NYT has no business running a once-excellent app into the ground. Boo. I hate to lose audio narrations of some publications but I will probably switch to Apple News or curio soon so there’s at least a better interface.

I like where this is going!. The app is great because it doesn’t have ads like other platforms do. I wish there was a bit of curation on the topics so I could easily find The Daily episodes that are focused on art, business, world news, national news, etc. I also wish I could favorite my episodes so that I can go back and remember what episodes I want to share with others. Looking forward to updates on the app, thanks for making this platform for us subscribers!

Great daily content, want audio in main app. I really like being able to dip in each day to get a summary of the days news, plus get an in-depth report from the daily. It definitely keeps me coming back frequently. However, I wish that I could get audio versions of nearly all New York Times stories in the main app, even if read by the operating system’s default voice. I consume more content from the Washington Post because that audio feature is available in their app.

A disappointing start. I was excited to download this having heard an advertisement on a podcast that I enjoy. I think the biggest disappointment is that it does not pair with Apple Car Play. I do most of my listening in the car during my commute. With this app I have to use my phone to get to the next segment. The segments are mostly short so I have to do this a lot. Is also like to see the daily “Great Reads” offered in audio which I haven’t found yet. The content offerings are a little sparse so far. I hope they build this out some, and pair it with Apple Car Play.

The story intros are weird.. I just got through listening to a 5 min intro from the author of a story about Karen Bass. The piece itself is about 9 min long. Why are we doing this? If it needs this much time to set up an article…it sounds like the article isn’t doing its job. I find it very odd to listen to someone talk, in natural and conversational language, to jump into a much more stiff version of essentially the same content. Is there a reason for this format? Imagine if every NYT print article was preceded by four paragraphs of the author casually summarizing the piece before dropping the big SAT words in the article. Do one of the other: either have these writers just converse about the thing they’re interested in like they would in a podcast…or present their writing as audio.

Hard to navigate. So I love the idea but man, the app is so clunky. Not sure if it’s because I already had an AudM subscription so the “publishers” I had already followed automatically were followed for NYT Audio? When I go to “Following”, over half my screen is just black and the bottom third is available to scroll for articles. Makes it really difficult to use.

High quality, no more Audm!. Personally I dislike the Audm audio that the NYT published in the past year, as I felt the narrators, while certainly polished and professional, did not bring the same sense of humanity and personal nuance as when a writer read their own story. So hearing stories on NYT Audio read by journalists is so wonderful! I also love the queue function and how it unites so many different audio sources together.

Good idea, buggy execution - updated. Somehow it’s even more broken after the last update. Unusable. Nice layout, clean look, and good curation (though not updated as often as I’d like - you’ll see the same few 6 minute shorts from this American life featured for 2+ weeks) but I run into experience breaking bugs daily. Some files will be unplayable for no reason. Sometimes this will happen in the middle of playback. You can create a queue for listening, but every so often, it’ll just get dumped with no easy way to find that stuff. Downloads are shaky. Sometimes they work. Often not. AirPod control integration doesn’t really work. If you like to skip forward with a double tap of your AirPod, sorry, you can’t. If you’re on a run or doing the dishes, you’re going to have to fish around for your phone and unlock it to advance - something that many other audio apps have figured out as a matter of course. I’d like to support this because of the curated content but it doesn’t offer a good alternative to the official podcasts app with this buggy experience.

Mourning the. death of Audm. When I found Audm it was like a dream come true, being able to listen to all the long form articles in my favorite publications by wonderful narrators. The content was vast and actually dated back to 2016 when they started the company. So you could literally catch up on years of articles, just type in a search for what interested you and a huge swath of articles would appear. All you had to do was download and listen. It was easy to use and contained for example all of the New Yorker articles each week including the book reviews. By contrast The NY Times Audio has cut the content drastically. You get one Ny Times article for the week, many of the other publications are no longer listed and the ones that are have very little available. What you do get is lots of NY Times content pushed on you read by editors not professionals. This seems like a cost cutting measure because narrators reading more content is more $$. Personally I find the app hard to navigate, with little to offer. I don’t need their podcasts I just want my articles and that wonderful cache of reading that was available on Audm. What will they do with all of that? It’s such a treasure. I used to be a positive NY Times subscriber but if it weren’t for the cooking app I would cancel.

Inferior to Audm. The NYTimes owned and then discontinued a much better app called Audm and replaced it with this turkey. Audm had content from a vast array of publications that could not be found together anywhere else. This app adds very little for someone who is already a NYT subscriber, and I don’t need one more way to listen to This American Life. It’s really annoying that the NYTimes would take great content away from their Audm subscribers just so they can corner the podcast market. It’s a sad story that has happened before in other industries, but I thought the NYTimes cared about making great journalism available to the public. I was wrong.

Yeah, still all the same ads. Meg Greer reviewed this app with a joyous "No ads!" And I naturally expected that too. After all, the app is only for subscribers, right? So doesn't that mean that finally, we can get The Daily without daily ads? Right? RIIIGHT??? But in fact, it means no such thing. And if I can't get The Daily without ads, even though I'm a NYT subscriber, what's the benefit of setting up a whole different podcast app? The one I already have has a more natural feel. This one requires hunting for the inexplicably hidden fast-forward button. Why bother? I'd rather stick with the podcast app I know and have loved for years. If nothing else, I know well where to find its fast-forward button. Somebody let me know if NYT ever makes ad-free episodes available to subscribers, as other podcasts have done for years. (Hey, NYT, go ask NPR to show you how it's done.) Until then, I'm not a fan of the app, which is clunky and difficult and offers me no benefit over the podcast app I already know.

What a wonderful addition to the NYT. I’m always drawn to the audio stories in the app that the author has written. They bring so much vitality and depth to an already fantastic story. so you could imagine my pleasure upon learning of this app while listening to a New York Times podcast yesterday. I hope this grabs others attention as much as it has mine and doesn’t get abandoned before it has its opportunity to become known.

Really well done. I’m impressed with the polish that went into this app. It’s a very good podcast app with most of the features you’d expect or want. The exclusive content is nice as well. I see a lot of reviews claiming no ads, or some complaining about there being ads, and as far as I can tell NYT has made no official claim about there being no ads in this app. I hear less ads on The Daily than when I listen with a third party podcast player, often none, but not always. It’s enough that I prefer to use this app when I can. My least favorite thing about this app is that I now find myself bouncing between it and my normal podcast player. I can’t seamlessly queue up a non-NYT podcast between two NYT episodes unless I go back to my other podcast app.

Can’t use while commuting or exercising. Rather than have all my podcasts in one, commuter friendly spot, the NYT decided to separate its podcasts into a subpar platform I can only use at home. There’s no Apple CarPlay support so I have to choose between being safe or listening to their podcasts since I’d have to take my eyes off the road to navigate their less than intuitive app while driving. There’s also no Apple Watch support so I can’t listen to their podcasts while I’m exercising. Not really sure what they were thinking by limiting how people can listen to their podcasts.

Bugs?. I too am happy to see this app. It seems to have a few bugs. My earphone controls cannot pause it. It seems to draw down the battery. And now a mysterious white square appears in the regular nyt app, which when tapped starts playing the audio app. Nonetheless not a bad start. The more I use this app the less I like it. Do I swipe down, or right? How do I change the text size? Why does the Today tab have articles from a week ago? And how, dear god, do I turn off auto play?? Listen to the plug for the app on Hard Fork! They can’t find a single good thing to say about it! 🤣🤣🤣

A daily user!. I was an occasional user of Audm but I am even happier with this app. I listen to the Headlines daily and just find myself interested in much of what is available and highlighted on the app- such as Reporter Reads, etc. I’m not a big podcast person. A few things still need to be worked out — the “sharing” feature doesn’t work yet and there are some kinks (such as removing shows from my following list), but I’m hooked. I foresee this being part of my daily routine for years to come!

Buggy and Confusing. I enjoy the access to content I would otherwise not have or take the time to read so I listen instead. The podcasts I can get elsewhere more easily with a better app. I get emails suggesting things I might want to listen to, but it’s not always easy to find them in the app. Today my downloads are all “pending”. Not sure why. Sometimes I go for a walk only to discover I have zero downloads, but when I get home I have a long list of downloads. Where did they go? The content UI is overly complicated. Even though I’ve been using it a while I still have a hard time finding articles.

Queue does not work. Five-star content deserves better than a ½-star app. When I create a queue, I expect that when one story finishes playing, the app will move on to the next one in the queue. Not so with NYT Audio — it just plays whatever it wants and completely ignores what I have queued up. Very frustrating. Add to that the difficulty of finding current, relevant news stories within the app’s byzantine structure and you come out with an unpleasant exercise in frustration and confusion. If not for the exclusive content, I would delete this app and go back to Apple Podcasts.

AUDM was 100X better. I only paid for this because it was, frankly misleadingly, implied that those of us who were subscribed to AUDM would be transitioned into it as a replacement of and improvement over AUDM. It is not even close. It’s not even similar! It is clumsy to navigate with barely any long form articles, and in fact none whatsoever from some key publications that sold me on AUDM in the first place. This is not the “portal to audio journalism” I’ve seen it described as because that indicates an entryway through which one can go deeper and explore a world of similar content. Instead, it’s just all (confusing) doors and no hallways, no rooms, no content. Hugely disappointing.

Extremely disappointing “replacement“ for Audm. Audm was an exceptional app, well designed with tons of amazing content, NYT Audio is cluttered and mediocre, lacking a lot of the great publications that were available on Audm, pushing their own content. In addition, Audm had transcriptions of all the articles so you could easily switch from reading to listening, or grab a quote from the article, which was one of my favorite features. As a software engineer, the design and implementation of features in this app is just shockingly, similar to the NYT app. Feels cheap and clickbaity, not like a media powerhouse. I assume that’s out of the hands of the engineers and pushed by higher ups driven by revenue incentives. I was trying to stay optimistic and give it a real chance but it’s pretty tragic altogether.

Poor replacement for Audm. Trash. I gave it another chance but it's existence is redundant. Why pay for content with ads? Ridiculous. Unsubscribed and deleted. Previous review: Since this service was sold as the replacement of Audm, let's compare. No more read-along feature. There are links to websites of non-NYT content, it no longer scrolls to match making the feature effectively non existent. This had been such a revolutionary feature on Audm that I'm stunned they scrapped it, even for their own content. Not that I read along the entire article, but if, for instance, there was a person referenced in the article that you wanted to pause and look up, you could effortlessly see how it was spelled. One of a dozen reasons I loved this feature. Also there is a dearth of professionally read articles in NYT Audio; a good writer is seldom a good narrator. This really undercuts the value of the articles themselves, but makes the app very very unappealing. By far my biggest complaint is the lack of content. It looks like there are many options, but I would estimate it to be less than half of Audm of a few months ago. Audm had been my absolute favorite app on my phone. I'll give NYT Audio another month to see if they can get it together before I cancel my subscription. What a disappointment.

Wonderful!. I’m so happy to have this. It’s not a huge amount of content yet, but what’s here is excellent. Being a NYT subscriber is a wonderful thing! I spend 2+ hours reading the Times every day, and still never read everything I want to. (I’m a slow reader, and I want to read SO many things every day.) Now I can read the Times while I get work done 😍 My favorite thing is the stories narrated by the authors. It’s so cool to get to hear the voices of the journalists I read so often. The best audiobooks are the ones narrated by authors- they always get the inflection and tone right, because it’s their tone! Thank you NYT, this is a major life upgrade.

Awful. As a long time Audm subscriber, I am stunned by how this app has changed and turned into a marketing vehicle for all things NYTs with smatterings, if you can find them, of other offerings. I do not wish to listen to NYTs writers read their own stories. Most often they aren’t good narrators, which why should they be as they are reporters. Moreover, the app interface is just plain awful. It is difficult to easily access other magazine stories without having to navigate podcasts and a burdensome number of offerings from the NYTs, which I already subscribe to. I have other places I go for podcasts, I don’t want them on this app. I’m looking elsewhere for the kind of quality writing and professional readers that Audm provided. If I could give this app zero stars I would. The Audm experience wasn’t broken and didn’t need fixing. This app is broken and appears to be beyond fixing.

A great companion to the NYT news app. I use this app every day to listen to the Headlines and the Daily - and often a whole lot more. They’ve set things up in a very clever way where you can autoplay 4 shows with one click. No more endless fumbling through shows to pick something to listen to while you make your first cup of coffee. It’s a very simple and nice routine to start your day each morning. In addition to the awesome catalogue of NYT produced shows (Ezra Klein, Hard Fork, Matter of Opinion, etc.) there is unique content here as well. Specifically there’s these episodes called “Reporter Reads” where journalists read their own work. These episode aren’t available anywhere else. They’re excellent - and as much as I like professional voice actors - I really enjoy listening to people with their wonderful and unique voices reading their own work. There’s room to grow of course in terms of offerings, but check it out - and get in the habit of using the daily autoplay feature.

Audm was better. The NY Times recently folded Audm (which it owns) into its own audio app. That was unfortunate because Audm offered far more content and was easier to use. The number of publications dropped from 27 at Audm (of which 6 were NYT content) to 12 at NYT Audio (where 3 are NYT content). Publications that were dropped include The Atlantic, Foreign Policy, New Republic, NY Review of Books, New Yorker and Vanity Fair, among many others. That serious erodes the value of what had been the internet’s best audio magazine app. Presumably those publications would not agree to provide their content under the NY Times banner. Specific gripes: The list of publications does not indicate which ones are already being followed, without clicking on each. The database of articles appears on two tabs (Today and Discover), whereas they could be combined into one simplified tab. The queue of articles cannot be sorted (e.g., oldest date first). Articles in the queue can be deleted with a simple swipe, except for the one you are listening to. Most maddeningly, it will not stop at the end of an article, but continues onto the next one. The app developers might rethink what was lost in the transition. The idea of listening to magazine articles is terrific, and I will use the NYT’s audio app, but now need to search elsewhere to find the publications that no longer participate—which defeats the concept of a single audio magazine app.

Apple Watch app, perhaps?. Loving the new venture from NYT, and I'm enjoying the stories that I wouldn't have read had I not been introduced to them through playlists. I would like to ask one thing (quite big, I have to admit) though. Can we have an Apple Watch app for this so that we can listen to stories without having to carry the phone with us when, say, we are jogging?

This app is glitchy and has a terrible flaw. Whenever iOS updates this app freezes and crashes. To resolve this the user must uninstall and then reinstall the app. However this reveals the terrible and asinine flaw of the app. The users entire listening history is deleted/erased when you uninstall and reinstall the app. You will no longer have the listening history of whichever and however many episodes/stories you have previously listened to. This will result in a frustrating and time wasting endeavor of marking as played any and all previously listened to episodes/stories. Additionally the app is needlessly slow in its UI response reflecting a design flaw in the underlying structure. This makes the app slow and poorly responsive. These are truly disconcerting and disruptive issues that significantly degrade the app experience.

Too early to say, but. NYT audio has become the 1st stop for me to catch up on reliable news and innovations that I’m interested in. The sharing button isn’t live yet so I can’t forward segments to people like me who have their hands full but their minds still have space for intelligent perspectives. I have a question about Ezra’s interviews. Are his guest as brilliant as it seems with their fast, well thought through answers and grammar? God, more enlightened words come into my air buds per minute than I’ve ever experienced unless I speed up my Audiobook, like one must if listening to Barack Obama. With that in mind, I would love to hear Ezra interview Barack just for comparison to his audiobook.

Promising App!. I really don’t understand all the negative reviews? The app has a great interface and is so easy to navigate. Yes, new apps ALWAYS have minor bugs to work out and they’re pretty quick to fix them. They’re still adding additional content from the old Audm app (The New Yorker and Vogue are now available). Features some people claim are missing (such as changing audio speed) are available and easily accessible. Maybe actually use the app and give it a chance before reviewing? And people complaining about the readers voices are honestly just rude! This app is honestly better than I expected overall!

Long form audio journalism is dead. The NYT app is ok as a new app. Too much of a built-by-committee feel, but ok. A tip o’ the hat to the coders who had to harness the multiple agendas of the committee. As a replacement for the brilliant Audm app, though, it’s miserable because the extensive long form content, consistently professional narration, and scrolling text features are gone. (I especially miss the scrolling text, where I could glance at the screen to see a name spelling or to back up and reread a compelling paragraph along with audio. Great for remembering and digesting more complex ideas, easily ignored if wanted to.) I subscribed to and gave gift subscriptions to Audm for the long form journalism it offered. NYT Audio is short on long and long on amateur narration. It is a different thing altogether. Can’t you offer both? I have the NYT audio app on my phone because it is included with my all access subscription. It’s not something I would otherwise purchase, not because it’s bad, but because it is a completely different product than Audm.

Three big problems with this app. There are three big problems with this app. First, I am not able to log on. As a longtime NYT subscriber, my user ID predates a requirement that it be an email address, but this app requires that my ID be an email address. If I put my actual ID in, the app rejects it. If I put in my email address as my ID (which the NYT should be able to correlate with my account), the app doesn’t recognize my password. Second, this app is not iPad compatible. Using an iPnone only app on an iPad is a terrible user experience. How hard is it to provide a user interface suitable for iPads? Third: Why?? Why does every media outlet create yet another app to clutter up my app catalog when Apple already provides a perfectly good podcat app? There is no good reason I can find to use NYT specific apps. The Safari browser gives a better experience reading the news (with better accessibility features) than the NYT provides with its app, and I am pretty sure NYT hasn’t improved upon Apple’s podcast app woth this app (although for reasons discussed above I haven’t even been able to log on). This is an app nobody needs that was created for no good reason.

Love the content but the app has one major flaw…. …it’s not running in background. Unlike all my other music or podcast apps, NYT Audio stops playing once the screen on my iPhone turns off with auto-lock. I listen a lot to music or podcasts with my headphones on when I go to bed. In order for the app to not stop playing when it goes into Auto-Lock of iOS, I need to change it to “never”. I tend to forget changing it back to my usual “2 minutes” which is a security risk. This should be an easy change and I don’t see a reason for the app not playing in background.

Started great, content changed though. I was an avid listener on the app, AUDM. It contains articles from The, Atlantic, Propublica, etc. then the New York Times bought it. I was excited to add New York Times articles to the mix. Slowly, Publications that I loved, like the Atlantic left. Now, all of the articles outside of the New York Times magazine are read by their authors. Let me say this, there is a reason certain people are writers, and not speakers, some of the articles were impossible to listen to because of the odd intonations of the writers. It also felt like I was listening to “millennials” (I am an X-ennial) casually talk about an article they had written. Off to Curio.

Tremendous misstep. I am deeply disappointed that the NYT has rolled out this half-baked, clunky design with the expectation that users will spend nearly as much time in it as they did in Audm. It is a tremendous, unnecessary misstep that feels designed by a committee of product managers and execs to juice users. NYT, I like your stories, but I don’t want to be juiced. Especially when you reduce the publication catalogue to half of what it used to be thinking no one would notice? The strength of the Audm app was that it was lightweight and easy to use. I could easily manage a queue, switch between reading and listening, and refine a search by authors, narrators, publications, etc. These features are either no longer available or obscured in the NYT Audio app’s design. As a user, I am often disoriented as to where I am in the app, and the search/filter features are lacking. It feels like too much is stuffed in here. The typical Audm user wants to listen to articles read by professional narrators, not random podcasts or stories recorded on laptop microphones. (The latter especially feels like a naked cost-cutting measure.) I am regularly stepping over the content I don’t care about to get to stories. I would encourage the product team responsible for this monster to really do some reflection. Actually talk to users, then use those conversations to inform the experience. This is not a sustainable offering.

Destroying My Favorite App. Audm is by far the app I use the most. I love being able to listen to articles from the New Yorker, NYRB, the Atlantic, The Atavistic, London Review of Books, Texas Monthly, The Times Literary Supplement and so many others on my daily walks and when I drive. None of these are listed as publishing partners in the new app. Instead the app is pushing all sorts of podcasts I have no interest in. I can get The NY Times podcasts I want on the Apple app, namely The Daily, occasionally Ezra Klein, Matter of Opinion and The Run Up. But Audm is where I do my non-music listening and without being able to hear articles from publications some of which I don’t subscribe to will be a real loss. What was the point of the NYT buying a truly great app in order to destroy it? As an NYT print subscriber I get the new app free but if all of that Audm content doesn’t transfer I will cancel my subscription and listen to my usual NYT apps as I always have on Apple’s podcast app. Serial and The Athletic are a disincentive to using the new app as far as I am concerned, just so much clutter. I will also be losing valuable reading time, since I will now have to read all of The New Yorker instead of being able to choose on Mondays which articles to read and which to listen to.

NYT Podcast…No Ads!. Has a NYT longtime subscriber with home delivery and full digital access, and a podcast junkie, I have been wondering at what point I would finally be able to listen to all the NYT audio content without any advertising! As you can imagine, our NYT bill is quite expensive ($K’s) so I believe that I have contributed to the NYT audio acquisitions. I am delighted that I will be able to listen to all this content without having to fast forward through a bunch of ads. Shout out to The Daily, This American Life, and Hard Fork. We made back several years worth of NYT subscriptions when we bought Microsoft in January based on Hard Fork reporting.

Great content terrible app. Obliterated my carefully rationed data. Despite downloading episodes, if data is turned on, it streams the content at ~2 GB/10 minutes. Additionally, you can’t open the app or navigate it for more than 60 seconds with having data on or a Wi-Fi connection. Desperately needs an offline mode. Finally getting around to complaining about it because it glitched after the latest update and ate through all of my remaining data for the month while I listened to “downloaded” episodes yesterday on my drive to work, despite having turned it off in my settings AND the app yelling at me the whole time that I needed to reconnect to Wi-Fi.

Great iphone app but where’s CarPlay. Great app presented well but iphone only. Missing the iPad, Apple Watch and most importantly CarPlay versions.

Needs more curation options. Love the content but finding the interface difficult. Perhaps there are settings I haven’t been able to find (which in itself indicates a problem) but for This American Life it’s hard to navigate episodes - I can’t choose for played episodes to be hidden, I can’t sort by date, episode numbers aren’t shown so I don’t know where I was up to from listening on other apps in the past. I can’t search for topics or dates or contributors. Hopefully some of these features will be added in future updates! Please keep up the great work on the content. 😊 I haven’t tried other shows within the app so don’t know if they all have the same lack of options.

won't launch offline. It's ok but what's the point of downloads if the app won't launch when offline?

Shuts down audio on iPhone lock. An excellent app. Very well done. Real value add to NYT subscription. I’m sure a temporary glitch but from time to time audio pauses each time iPhone screen goes on lock Tim

Stuck at the Start. After logging in, the app presents two setup questions. Both windows are not scrollable and are too tall for my iPhone SE screen. I can bypass the first by enabling notifications, but there is no way forward on the second, "Sign up for the weekly audio newsletter." I will happily update my rating and review when this issue is fixed. As it currently stands I am unable to use the application as a paid subscriber.

Please expand magazine stand. Please run more Longform articles from non NYT or NYT magazine

Great. Is excellent but really need CarPlay integration.

Poorly developed so far. Just keeps telling me that an error occurred. Also says to email “us” if this problem persists but there’s no indication what the email address might be.

Very Excited!. Trying to fall asleep and I have learnt so much!

Car play. Good app missing car play

Please add support for Apple CarPlay. Would be nice to have an app in CarPlay for listening while driving

EarPod pause button not working. I love this app and its content but when I use it on my iPhone 13 with Apple Earpod (wired), the play/pause button on the EarPod does not work. The volume up/down buttons work though. The issue was present when I had iOS 16, and updating to iOS 17.2.1 didn’t make a difference. This issue is very annoying; please fix it! Thanks!

Really enjoying the app. Really enjoying the NYT audio app! I’ve been using it since it launched seems to be working great. I only wish they had even more articles! The podcasts are great as well, and the content from some other news outlets.

Please add CarPlay. Love the app, Im discovering way too much podcast that I can handle, and I like it. Only one thing is bothering me, I still find it more pleasant to listen to the daily on apple podcast since it’s CarPlay compatible. Please add car play!!!!

We’re Listening.... The NY Times belongs to the world. Some of the best journalism on earth is available, fact-checked and accessible in a convenient format. There is no excuse to be uninformed or misinformed when it comes to the issues which could ultimately define human survival. Thomas H. - Canada

CarPlay!. Love the app. When will it be CarPlay compatible?

FINALLY!!. I am so thrilled with the NYT Audio app! I loved listening to the Daily as I'm getting ready, but now I'll have even more to get through the morning. Highly recommended!!

Frozen on the very first page. iPhone 15 Pro, installed, subscribed, but frozen on the very first page. i rebooted, restarted and still frozen like a snowman.

Hope it succeeds. Some design changes are needed, but the content is great. I added another star for Julia Whelan. 5 stars when synchronizing between devices occurs. Plus "downloading last 3 episodes" actually works; rather than downloading everything forever. NYT is 20 yrs behind; podcasting, & had AUDM surveys for 2 yrs. And, now surveys for us paid-to-use guinea pigs. Survey your geeks, & make them use this app. But, I am hopeful. I love the NYT & The Athletic; no matter how many employee cuts, plus ads.

Starts my morning!!. I

Apple Watch app?. If I get an Apple Watch app for this I would have given a 5 stars. Just saying. Hopes up!

NYT audio podcasts. up to the minute news, articulate, beats t.v. news by a country mile

Downloads Delete Every Day. Why don’t the downloads stay downloaded?? They don’t delete everyday and I can’t listen when not on wifi a day after. So dumb.

Still glitzy and glitchy.. A lot of thought and care has been put into making this app aesthetically distinctive. I love the use of high-quality photography alongside stories. Outside of that, the app still has issues. Audio playback is prone to bugs. Sometimes the player loses track of what story you were listening to and you’re unable to pause and resume where you left off. Often the app will be unable to play audio in the background. The newly added CarPlay support might be one of the worst I’ve ever seen (very limited ability to browse catalog and frequently fails to play audio in the background). More often than not you cannot start listening from CarPlay and must use your phone. I don’t really understand why this app exists beyond giving me access to “The Headlines” podcast. If you’re going to make a dedicated audio app I would expect to see features that could only be delivered through an app that we wouldn’t get through RSS or Apple Podcasts. I would love to see Spatial Audio and the ability to set daily playlist preferences.

App only plays when phones is awake. When my phone goes to sleep or I switch out of the app, play stops.

Great app!. Love this app! I listen to if daily and am enjoying browsing through some of the other older articles. I wish there were more! I’d also LOVE for it to add a comment integration of some sort.

Bothersome bug. I think this will be a great app. The quality of its audio, production, and content is superb. But there is a bug, where I cannot stop and start the audio using my earbuds button. And because I am listening in a noisy world, this makes the app unusable for me. I’m strongly hoping this gets fixed soon. Thank you.

Ads injected now?!. If I’m paying for the content why am I forced to now listen to advertisements before each article? I cannot in good conscience renew my subscription if ads are now part of this product.

Timelines. Most audio is done late in th day or a day late.

The app keeps crashing. The content is great but the app keeps crashing.

So little content!. It’s a shame Audm folded into this because it pales in comparison. There are so few articles and it doesn’t update nearly enough.

I am becoming addicted to your insightful podcasts. I love the topics covered, the hosts and the participants. They are all highly knowledgeable and well-versed in their subjects. I like their unbiased analysis. However, I have a request: please end the non-stop discussion about Talor Swift and Biance’s summer tours. I wonder why it's attached to every podcast I listen to. In the beginning, I enjoyed it, but now I am incredibly bored of it. I appreciate your consideration of my request. Keep up the excellent work!

News 2 Go and Be in the Know. great app and perfect for being able to listen to all the excellent NYT stories while taking a walk, driving, generally being on the go. The addition of the This American Life and their outstanding stories is a bonus. Using this app and starting with the best of 2023 has been a gift this season of being on the go

Good content, crappy app. Love the content on here for the most part but the app is poorly designed and buggy. Last night in the middle of the night it just started playing a story out of nowhere with no interaction from me. Scared me out of my sleep. This morning I can't get through listening to a 7 min story without it crashing every 20 to 30s. I'd love to ditch my Podcast app for NYT podcasts and audio but sadly still need it.

The Royals. HI I look forward to each news event and whatever I pick is very engaging. Please don’t take this as a dig but my dog is a big part of my life and cuts into my reading time. He hates it when I pick up a book but the podcasts finds him raptly listening as I do also. Judi Winters

Unnecessary and disappointing. There nothing about this app that is different or better than the Apple podcast app except that you can only have NY Times sponsored podcasts in it. Moreover, you cannot easily (or at all?) access the archives of any of these shows beyond the past year or so. It’s particularly disappointing that you don’t have access to the vast This American Life archive through the app. I don’t see any reason to use or even have this app.

In-app promo notifications interrupt audio. Listening to my first article, I was shocked by the endless slew of in-app promo popups that happen while my phone is locked and in my pocket and stop the audio. To continue listening I need to open the app and close the notification telling me to turn on notifications or subscribe to one of their series that I don’t need. Scoured menus but no setting to turn this off. 🥲 Horrendous experience within 10 min of downloading.

Modern Love. I am visually impaired due to ocular myasthenia gravis which causes double vision unless I wear eyeglasses with a special prism. Being able to listen to the NYTimes articles and podcasts such as Modern Love at bedtime, without having the risk of falling asleep with this expensive lens on is a wonderful reason to be a subscriber.

Why??. Sigh, I just want to listen to all my podcasts in one place. I would love to listen to the headlines podcast, but I don’t really want another app just for that. I already have a news playlist in my preferred podcast app (pocket casts). I would consider switching to this for all news podcasts, except I can’t get most of them here. I also dislike that it just plays stuff I haven’t subscribed to.

Love everything so far!. The app is great, love everything about it so far! I do find following the podcasts, and adding them to your queue a little confusing/cumbersome. I also with adding episodes to your queue added them to the bottom of the queue instead of the top, but other than that, it’s great!

Stop nudging!. I’m a paid subscriber to the online version of the New York Times. I was hoping this app would be a nice addendum to my morning browse. The audio keeps stopping, every time I restart it, I’m given at least one ad to subscribe to something else, and a request to send me out notifications. I keep saying, no! The app keeps asking! I had to remove the app because of this annoyance. I’d understand your tenacity if I were her subscriber. STooooooP! The app is like a three-year-old incessantly asking “but why?”

Solid audio app, excited to use. This is a solid alternative to finding the NYT podcasts other places. It’s well-curated and makes it easy to follow certain shows. It doesn’t seem to have any bugs or audio issues. I hope they cut back on the ad break at the begin of their podcasts though.

Stop accepting money from fossil fuel companies. That’s the only thing that I don’t like about this app. They have an entire climate desk with meteorologists and scientists warning of the dangers of burning coal, oil and “natural” gas; they should NOT prop them up by allowing them and their trade orgs like API to keep getting audience with NYT subscribers.

CarPlay Issues. I enjoy the content on the app and was excited for CarPlay integration. Unfortunately it does not reliably work with my iPhone 15 Pro. The app launches fine and plays active stories. When I try to launch another story it is stuck at zero with a buffering icon, despite 5G service. No issues when launching content from the iOS app. Would also appreciate Siri integration for launching stories or shows such as the headlines.

Time to produce new content. Being that most listeners have consumed much of the content on this app previously before adopting it, it can be a little annoying being served podcast episodes to things we’ve already watched. My feed today is filled with Every episode of The Coldest Case in Laramie, and I have to mark them all as played…

It’s okay. Sometimes, when I use this app, I wonder why it exists. Most of these stories could be in podcast form and accessible via a central player with the rest of my audio. It would have more value if there were more content. There have been significant stories in the Times that I’d like to listen to at the gym or during my commute, but they weren’t available in an audio format.

Needs more functionality. Works fine, but right now I’m still listening to everything that’s not exclusive to this app through podcast feeds because that way I can more easily use CarPlay. They should add that functionality. I’d also appreciate being able to turn off the auto play.

Good content with a few bugs. I love the content. However when you take your AirPods out and put them into their case, the audio continues playing on the phone speaker. This bug was fixed many years ago on iPod and iPhone. Maybe just use the iOS player in your app instead of being cheap and reinventing the wheel?

Ira Glass sent me. It’s great to have a place where I can listen to my favorite podcasts. I can listen to “This American Life” a day early, along with NYT podcasts like “The Daily” and “Hard Fork.” Best of all, all of The Athletic’s sports podcasts are on here so I can keep up with my favorite teams. (Go Bills!)

Game changer. I enjoy getting news from more than one source. Traditional podcast download apps make that easier. That being said, this app is incredible. Now that I have it, it feels like every other news source has fallen far behind. This now lives on the first page of my home screen. Well done.

An app for “looking” at audio. All I need a podcast (or music) app to do is to play audio. Pretty simple. The content here is great, which makes the tech side brutal. This app requires that you do not have it on background and your phone cannot be locked…otherwise it stops playing. So enjoying paying for a subscription and then having to randomly tap your phone screen and drain your battery and keep the app alive to play a simple audio file. Amateur hour consultancy app design.

Really helps me stay up with the news in detail. I don’t have much time to read the NYT although I try because it is such excellent reporting. But this audio allows me to really dig in and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. . Not to mention learning a great deal. Thank you for making this available..

NYT is Making a Big Mistake. I love the journalism of The NY Times, but the reporters are not voiceover talent. They’re very good reporters, and I know they understand the nuances of their stories, but they just aren’t good at reading out loud. I have always skipped the NYT articles in Audm for this very reason — their voices just can’t compare to the cadence/timbre of Julia Whelan, Robert Fass, Kirsten Potter, etc. Please leave it to the professionals! I hope I’ll still be able to access all the same publications, as well.

Good entry in EA News. Good job NYT in putting out the Daily and then queued up stories for listeners. My one piece of feedback would be recognize that most aren’t sitting around and listening so they can read and fiddle with the controls. We’re active (in my case biking), so a Daily Play All and then go right into top stories. Thanks for listening.

Not a bad start but a non-starter if I can’t skip the ads. Why are there ads in the first place if this is a subscriber only app. And if there are ads why can’t I skip them by double clicking my airpods? If this doesn’t change I’ll just continue to listen to the Daily, Ezra Klein, etc in the Overcast App (in a recent soft ad for the product on his podcast Ezra Klein said something like all podcast apps are average. Not true of Overcast.

I don’t get it. I’m not sure why I should switch from my tried and true podcast app to this. Despite my NYT subscription, the shows still have ads – today’s The Daily episode had an ad for Built For Change and for NYT Audio (what’s the point of that). If it doesn’t remove ads, then it has only disadvantages compared to my other app (Overcast).

Very frustrated- Keeps cutting out. A few weeks ago I would have given the app a 5-star rating. I was so excited to have a NYT podcast app as it contains so many shows I regularly listen to. BUT NOW for reasons I can’t fathom, the player just stops playing after about a minute—as soon as my phone screen goes to sleep it won’t play anymore. It just stops. Is there a setting I’m missing? Or is it a bug? At this point it’s completely unusable so it’s back to Apple Podcasts for me.

Ok…Still a bit buggy though.. I really like having easy access to all my favorite NYT podcast plus the new daily Headlines feed all in one app. My only issue is that it is still very buggy on Apple CarPlay. Sadly, I often wind up reverting to other podcast apps when driving in my car. Hopefully they’ll get it worked out soon.

Good start. This app has a lot of great content that makes me want to stay with NYT. It’s a little clunky to navigate, and I was expecting the podcasts to be ad-free since only subscribers can get access. I listen a lot while driving, so I’m hoping that this feedback can be considered along with an Apple CarPlay app for the future!

Common headphone controls don’t work. When I use wired headphones the standard single click of the headphone button to stop/start the audio has no effect. When using AirPods there’s no double or triple click to skip forward or backwards. I like the content and am a subscriber but won’t use the app unless it works better with headphones.

Please make this an Apple CarPlay app. Overall I like the functionality and polish of the app. It’s a nice format that allows me to listen to NYT content while driving. At work I’m on calls most of the day and in the evenings I’m spending time with my toddler. One suggestion that would fit my needs even more would be a CarPlay app. I think I’d listen to even more content if it was native to CarPlay.

Welcome to “The Daily” Multiverse. Finally, the NYT Audio podcast has come on the scene to bring the high-quality reporting and storytelling of “The Daily” to an expansive array of podcasts. The morning playlist features the perfect listening order, variety, and level of curation. My one request at this time: create a CarPlay app for NYT Audio. Thank you, NYT Team!

No Offline Play. The app has been very good for listening to NYT branded podcasts. However, you are unable to access your downloaded podcasts without internet access or cellular data. This destroys the point of downloading them in my opinion. If this gets changed I’d rate it 4 stars, because it’s a little clunky/cluttered to use. Once you listen to a podcast, its removed from that show’s library in your following section which is annoying.

NYT audio app. Great app to get morning news on your phone while exercising at the gym. If only there were a NYT Audio app for smart watches, I wouldn’t have to carry my phone about from station to station in the gym. It is high testimony to the honesty of my fellow gym rats that my phone has been always been returned to me after I have left it on the floor and walked away to another station. Or two.

Just the headlines?. I’m not sure why NYT can’t do what the WSJ does which is to make most of their articles available in audio form. Having 10 minutes and go over a couple of headlines only during the week just seems gimmicky rather than a useful feature.

AOC Interview. The recent AOC interview was insightful & revealing about AOC’s current thinking. Interviewer asked good & tough questions. I’m still amazed at AOC’s steadfastness to her original values, ideas & constituents while evolving as a congresswoman. AOC has learned to navigate Congress’ halls to get things done while even holding the feet of Biden’s administration & GOP right wingers to the fire. Only wish there were tons more in politics with her integrity, honesty & intellect! AOC’s still AWESOME!!

Audio doesn’t play when phone goes to sleep. Soooo frustrating to be listening to something and wanting to check something else on my phone or turn my screen off to see save battery and the app stops playing the audio. Makes the app non-functional for me as I often multitask using my phone to play podcasts in the background while I look something up or check emails . When/if this feature is fixed I’ll consider re subscribing.

Buggy UI. A good place to discover NYT and partner audio, but unfortunately accompanied by a consistently buggy interface. As of November 2023, the playback slider frequently becomes stuck at the beginning or end of an episode and fails to track the episodes timecode accurately, making it difficult to scrub. When attempting to rewind using the interface, the episode will frequently restart from the beginning. This is a nuisance that renders the app consistently frustrating to use.

Very little content. The NYT acquired Audm recently. Audm crashed every few minutes but it had lots of content from magazines. For example, Audm had almost every article in the New Yorker. Every day Audm had articles that interested me. The NYT app is much better. It hasn’t crashed once. But there’s very little content. You get sports and pop culture podcasts. You get old stories from This American Life. You get one article a week from the New Yorker. The user interface shows you articles that are weeks or months old.

No sync across devices. I came for the lack of ads. I left because I use both an iPhone and iPad to listen and need part-listened episodes to remember their place between devices. I’d pay (extra) for an ad-free subscription in the Apple Podcast app, instead. That would be a better experience for me - both for the functionality and also to have all my podcasts in the same place.

Bring back Audm. After the NYT bought Audm, I was hopeful they would just leave it be. Instead, they deleted it. Though they said it would be incorporated into NYT audio, the publications for which I bought Audm—The New Yorker and The Atlantic—are no longer available. And most of the other publications have significantly fewer articles. After paying for an annual subscription to Audm I am frustrated that I only had 3 months of the content I actually wanted. Very disappointed.

App won't even open. I downloaded this app a few days ago. It worked for the first two days or so and now it won't even open. When it did work, I found it not as convenient to navigate as the podcast app, especially between the different shows. And if I remembered correctly, it didn't have a display showing what is played vs unplayed. I also wish there was a type of playlist, where you can add the episodes you want and the playlist will display all the episodes coming up next. But at this point, my review is totally moot if I can't even get the app to open..

It’s A Life-Changer!. NYT Audio is an elegantly designed, stunningly beautiful and effortlessly functional app. Most important, it seems rigorously curated. Whatever the subject, the most crucial standards seems to be quality and integrity. I didn’t know I needed this app, but now that I have it, I can’t imagine a day without it.

Thank You!. My new FAVORITE app!! I SO appreciate being able to listen to all the great content I might otherwise miss because my life doesn’t afford me a lot of “sit down and read time”. THANK YOU for this! Worth becoming a subscriber (if you aren’t already) just for this app!

Absolutely great!. NYT is re-inventing journalism for the digital age, with the same high-quality standards. I’ve been a NYT reader for more than 50 years, and the NYT (print, digital, audio, video) has never been better— from a former editor and reporter in Chicago and a proud graduate of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism (Class of 1973)!

NYT Audio - LOVE IT. For a while, I’ve been wishing for news articles to be in audio format. I listen to podcasts, but I was missing a full-story experience. When I have time, I read my articles, but I walk around a lot and drive long distances for work, and I am thrilled to be able to experience the news and other publications this way. Thank you !!!

Can’t even log in - app totally unresponsive. I’m on the most recent iOS and even though I have trashed the app and reinstalled it, restarted phone etc etc the buttons for Log In, Restore Subscription etc do not work. They cannot be pressed and essentially the screen is frozen. I have an all-digital subscription and have for 6 years. I mean seriously- I’ve never seen a dead-on-arrival app for any other newspaper or news org. Complete waste of time.

Can’t pause/play using headphones. Do you all have something against pausing? For whatever reason, the play/pause button on my headphones does nothing on this app (while is works on another apps on my phone). Can you please incorporate this feature? It would be very useful.

Doesn’t work on older phone. I have tried every trick I can think of to get this app to work on my iPhone. I’m using the latest operating system, have plenty of storage, etc. But I can never get past the first introductory screen to actually get into the app. So frustrating. Makes me not want to even subscribe to NYT anymore because of the lack of availability of the audio stories. If this happens to you, know you’re not alone! Terrible app.

I lost Audm for this?. Fine and good to have NYT podcasts but I’m losing Audm, on which I listen to audio from multiple publications, for the NYT and NY Mag and a bunch of stuff that interests me zero. What about the NYRB, Pro Publica and the New Yorker? The NYer I guess I can get on their app but I paid the money—which wasn’t cheap—to have an assortment in one place. Adding insult to injury the NYT audio app doesn’t auto advance to the next episode but starts the same episode over?

I miss Audm. You lessened the quality of Audm when you took over but I did download this with a hope that in the transition you course corrected. Nope. This is a far less elegant user experience. You misunderstand that 1/3 of the appeal of Audm was the broad selection of publishers. (With 1/3 being the wonderful voiceover artists like Julia Whelan and 1/3 the ease of running errands and getting caught up on long reads.) I do subscribe and appreciate the NYT. But Audm, in its original form, gave a well rounded view of news and long form articles. I miss it.

I ❤️the NYT. I love the New York Times! Their articles are thoughtful and well written. They profile different perspectives. I love the games section. The podcasts are awesome. I’ve never paid for a subscription to non-local news organization before and the New York Times is worth every penny!
