User Reviews
The New Yorker’s excellent-if-scattershot content is kneecapped in an alley with a baseball bat by its recent addition of unblockable auto-streaming video. It’s deeply sad that an institution of print media like this is so wildly insecure that they’re shoving Pivot To Video 2.0 down our throats. Add the option to shut it off and I will reevaluate accordingly.
All I want to do is read the magazine. The original app was great for that. What’s the point of downloading if you need wifi to access?! It’s so bad we reverted to the print edition!
Not all &-most of what you would want to read is unavailable with audio the app is not fluid user “unfriendly “ it's poorly designed and not enjoyable to use
I had been unhappy with the app before so I wanted to credit them for fixing the main problem—the app often didn’t save your place. As for the magazine itself it’s the only reason I like having a phone as I generally read it cover to cover; it’s the media equivalent of the Clash. It’s the only magazine that matters.
I can't stand listening to AI and all the articles use the same mono tone robotic voice it's nauseating. I literally can't pay attention to the articles because the voice sounds like I'm listening to customer service AI automated prompts. 0/10 they need to use real people to read these articles or invest in more convincing AI.
Why do I keep getting bounced out as though I am not a recognized subscriber? Nonr of my other subscriptions have ever been so difficult!!
This app is so buggy it’s shocking that Condé Nast would release it to the public. Logging in is a battle, and you have to do it all the time. It mysteriously freezes for synching. It says you’ve downloaded stories but then you can’t listen to the downloaded ones on a plane / with no service. It’s good writing but the app itself does not justify any subscription fees
This is stupid! I purchased a sub, but I can't sign in. It just can't find it. #dumbapp
I specifically joined The New Yorker to read a four part series called The Patient which was advertised on social media. Once I joined The New Yorker, however, the article disappeared. I was no longer able to find it anywhere. It apparently doesn’t exist. I will therefore be terminating my membership.
Top Stories don’t load—even after deleting and re-installing—and sign-in has also been frustrating for me sometimes. Agree with others that the app isn’t outstanding.
This app is so bad I’m considering cancelling my subscription. 3 out of 4 times I try to use it, the app says I don’t have a subscription (I do). I’m paying for a subscription I can’t use.
My Subscription Has servived over 80 Years, It was of most value in a war zone. The availability of truth cannot be over valued. Good writing is often hard to find and this publication is a source of both.
