Using New York Times Digital App
The New York Times app is free and available for the following operating systems:
- Android
- iOS
- Fire tablets
Follow the Using NYT outside the Library instructions above to access The New York Times on the app. You must use the same email and password in the app.
Library Subscription vs. Paid Subscription
While the library subscription includes access to many areas of The New York Times, there are some features and sections reserved for paid subscribers.
If you have questions about your access, please contact Customer Care, opens a new window at The New York Times directly.
There are some situations that will result in an error message:
- You already have a NYTimes.com account set up and you try to login on the “Sign Up” screen
- You try to login on the “Log In” screen and you don’t have an NYTimes.com account yet
- You already have a personal, paid digital subscription to NYTimes.com associated with your email address
- You currently have a redemption code activated (your 24-hour code is still active)
What if I am already a subscriber to NYTimes.com?
Your personal subscription already gives you all of the access that you can get through the Library. If you have a personal subscription and you try to use a library redemption code, you will see a message that states:
"It looks like you're already a subscriber. At this time, pre-existing Digital or Home Delivery subscribers are not eligible to receive gift subscriptions."
