About this app
Breaking news with live updates, narrated articles and daily podcasts sit together in The New York Times app, alongside the paper's investigations, cultural criticism and political coverage. It's for readers who want a general news source with depth rather than a feed of headlines. Push notifications and widgets can be tailored by topic. Video explainers cover news, politics and elections, and audio includes The Daily, The Headlines, Modern Love and The Interview. The daily games, Wordle, the Crossword, Spelling Bee, Connections, the Mini and Sudoku, live in the same app, and moderated comments let readers talk to reporters and each other. Subscribers can send gift articles that anyone can read. New users get a month of free access without a credit card. After that, an All Access subscription covers News, Games, Cooking, Wirecutter reviews and The Athletic's sports coverage.
NYTimes: US and World News: the full guide
What the app is
The New York Times app is the paper, its podcasts, its video, its games and, through the All Access subscription, Cooking, Wirecutter and The Athletic, all behind one login. Breaking news runs with live updates, and many articles have narrated audio versions for listening instead of reading.
The games are not a sideline. Wordle, Connections, Spelling Bee, the Crossword, the Mini and Sudoku are all inside the same app, which for a sizable share of users is the reason it stays installed. Moderated comments allow readers to respond to reporters and each other.
How it works day to day
A typical morning starts with The Daily or The Headlines in the ears, then a scan of the top stories with push notifications already having flagged anything major. Widgets keep a chosen topic on the home screen. Later in the day comes Wordle, a Connections attempt, and perhaps a video explainer on something in the news.
Subscribers send gift articles to friends who do not pay, and the comments section on a big investigation turns into a long read of its own.
Why people look for it
People search for it because they want a single news source with some depth, not a headline feed, and because the games have become a daily habit. The free month, with no card details asked for, lowers the barrier for anyone curious about what the subscription actually includes.
Look and feel
Newspaper apps are typographic by nature, and the five screenshots here will show headlines, article pages with large images, audio players and the games hub. The Times has a recognisable visual identity built on serif headlines and white space, so expect a clean, text-led layout rather than a tile-heavy feed.
Updates and upkeep
Version 11.98.0 reflects frequent small releases on a mature base. The New York Times Company is as established a publisher as exists, and a 4.8 rating from 100K+ reviewers suggests the app itself is well regarded, not just the journalism. Only the App Store is linked on this page.
