Comments on National Post for Android

★★★★★ Michel Lajeunesse · Oct 24, 2025
Great newspaper and strong source of real news.
★★★★★ Kevin Scott · Dec 7, 2024
This is the best newspaper in Canada - full stop. I've been a subscriber for over 15 years. I have come and gone from other publications, but this one has always remained. I am a newshound, and I also subscribe to The Free Press, The Hub, and The Line.
★★★★★ Ken Sabatier · Oct 3, 2025
Canadian conservative viewpoint easily accessible and sensible.
★★★★☆ Wayne Deleersnyder · Dec 6, 2025
They need to improve the layout. Sometimes the content is not visible. I love the content though
★★★★★ Garry Wigton · Nov 20, 2025
Not the normal canned MSM reporting, but reporting that is largely accurate and non-biased.
★★★★★ Scot Wheeler · Oct 2, 2024
You are a good representative of balanced journalism
★☆☆☆☆ M Smith · Apr 9, 2024
Just like 100% of the latest reviews about this app, I have to advise that the new update is a disaster. I have used the National Post for my "go-to" news app since the beginning. Now, it's nothing more than a paywall after you read a single news article. DREAM ON NATIONAL POST. G'BYE!
★☆☆☆☆ Melvis The Mad · Apr 12, 2024
App doesn't work for me anymore. I can click on articles but It's impossible to scroll down to read them.
★☆☆☆☆ JC Diedericks · Apr 8, 2024
This used to be free...now requires a subscription after reading a few articles. It also feels like there are more ads. You also can't read the full title of each article unless you click to read the entire thing.
★☆☆☆☆ Arno van Dorp · Apr 5, 2024
After the 4/2024 update the app loses functionality, tries to force you to use an account and the dark mode is gone. Dozens off feeds added but not National Post anymore.
