NYTimes

Keeps dropping Keeps dropping

The update isn't bad but frequently in the middle of an article the app drops off -- closes down. Then I have to go right back to the start and find my way back to the article. This is a glitch that must be fixed.

AdBlock for iOS - Must Have Ap

Sadder and wiser Sadder and wiser

Two days ago I paid for this app which unfortunately is failing to live up to its promises. I like to read newspapers online but I am still getting full size pop ups on my iPhone as well as the continuing ads at the bottom of the page. The app informs me about the number of pop ups it has blocked but this is not true. I am happy for all those reviewers who are getting great benefits but, alas, I am not one of them. I have emailed the app developer to point out a specific case but nothing has improved.

Golf Channel

Fails to load Fails to load

I don't know if it is overload from the Open championship but this app refuses to load and open the scores. Needs work.

Golf Live Extra

Like the curate's egg ... Good in parts Like the curate's egg ... Good in parts

The live part of the app does sometimes crash,but its most annoying feature is that when the actual program goes to commercial break, we are treated to a boring statement and some yucky music. One has no idea how long each break will last. It should not be beyond their skills for the programmers to put on the actual commercials which would be a little more entertaining and give us some idea of how long we will have to wait for the program to continue

Was good now awful Was good now awful

There is a review section which stopped as of March 31 2015. The time to next race is showing approximately two weeks when it is actually three weeks. The list of grands prix is inaccurate. ESPN has a better reputation than this. Of course it's free so the answer is just to dump it which is what I have just done. ESPN is clearly not supporting the app any longer and Apple should delete it. There is a new app called f1 2015 for which a charge is made of $1.99 and I have switched to it. It does work and I recommend it.
