New Stand 12+

Dislike the points change

I’ve been an avid user of this app for nearly 4 years and love the content and design. But I especially love the option to earn points to receive a $10 bonus in your account. You simply read articles or makes purchases; for every 300 points earned, you received $10.

Suddenly as of last week, you have to earn 1,000 points for to earn the same bonus??? Three times as much is excessive. Very disappointed. At the very least let us use our top-up points online like you used to be able to. The physical shops haven’t even been open on NYC ferries for 6 months!

Guess I don't get it

This seems to be only for NY peeps. The stories are boring. No clue why you need to upload money.
The layout is nice.
UPDATE
Second try. Not so sure of the security of this app. I know they are trying but interfere is just messy. Something that is irritating is apps that insist you register before getting see anything in the app. It’s intrusive.

Hey! We're growing. Just wanted to let you know that we're now in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Minneapolis airports, so you can use the app more meaningfully in those areas. New Orleans, Seattle and Denver are being added this year.

Beyond Buggy

Video ad popups launch at random and when you try to push them away it's a 12 click process, where they disappear and pop up again. I clicked on an article about dogs and got an article on an underground Chinese fight club. Probably the trashiest interface I've tried in a long time. In between being promoted to add more money to your account and showing you overpriced items to buy you get a spattering of poorly written articles that are linked in from sites that are 60/40 ads and content. A waste of a download.

Our editorial team has taken this to heart and has weeded out any site that springs up with any video ads, or any "take-over" adverts. We can't control every website, but we can control linking to them from the news feed. Sorry you were having issues with some of the news sites we linked to. It's never our intention to show obnoxious ads. And thanks a ton for the feedback.
