The New Yorker Magazine App Reviews

I used to love the app, mostly because I love the New Yorker. I would read it every day on the subway. Since updating to iOS 6.1 the app ALWAYS CRASHES if I open it when I dont have a data connection. PLEASE test your app with iOS 6.1, specifically when the phone has not data connection, and fix your bug so I can go back to reading the New Yorker on the subway. (When you fix the bug I promise to change my star rating to a good rating.)

Please fix! Thank you! And maybe add support for iPhone 5 screen resolution too.

Keeps crashing without Internet connection. What am I paying for?

The app wont stay open long enough for me to purchase an edition of the magazine. Absolutely useless.

The New Yorker is arguably the best magazine in the world. It deserves a MUCH better app than this. I have to reinstall about every third download. It is frustrating to say the least. And more recently even reinstalling doesnt do the trick. The cover of the new issue shows up in my bookcase so I am tantalized by what the app wont let me view. Arrrgggghhhhhh!!!

What a crap app. After loading it, I was unable to get beyond the opening screen before it crashed (tried a half dozen times before remembering the definition of insanity - doing something over and over and expecting a different result). Guys (and/or girls), PLEASE FIGURE THIS OUT, as many other magazines have. I have never had issues with Sports Illustrated or Vanity Fair, the latter of which is also a Conde Nast publication. I love the NYer mag and will happily e-subscribe once you have a functioning app.

Ever since installing the latest update the app keeps signing me out every time I close it. Its really a pain to have to keep signing back in. Also, the option to delete individual issues seems to have been removed and instead all I see is vaguely named remove issues from iPad option, the implications of which are unclear. I also have no idea how auto remove works and there is nothing in the FAQ that sheds any light.

Or should I say Conde Nast for what you are doing to a magazine That has been staple of Art Culture A Way of Seeing Art and other Editorials In a Light that has not wavered , from the initial Magazine that my Neighbor would let me read and teach myself A little bit of theory that this World was not OF BIGOTRY and of Writers that can exposé this As a Magazine of expression.. SHAME ON YOU ! , !

I find several problems with the new design in the Sep 23 2013 issue: -when I switch from portrait to landscape, I lose my place in an article, it goes back to the top of the article. Also, goes black momentarily in this rotation -similarly I lose place in article when app is reopened. -I dont see the point of the title bar, e.g, profiles, always appearing at the top of the article. Not very useful information. -continuous flow of articles vs. discreet pages is an improvement. -very much dislike navigation system within talk of town and goings on sections. The table of contents for talk of town, e.g., is an improvement. But why do I have to go back to that before I can see the drop down TOC for the whole issue?

Does not remember my place on the article when I return. Very frustrating to have to start over. Would rather just not bother reading Also night mode please

The New Yorkers recent change from page-by-page to continuous scrolling makes the magazine more difficult to read. The app also no longer preserves ones place in a long article—if you so much as close your cover, the app returns you to the very top of the article you were reading. A pointless and perplexing change!

The ability of the old app to remember ones place (even in multiple articles, albeit imperfectly) needs badly to be restored. Continuous scroll is a definite improvement, but if iBooks can remember ones place in that mode, why cant the New Yorker?

New update is terrible. Big pointless toolbar at screen bottom, and persistent title bar at top. In total, about 1/4 of reading area is lost. And no more page numbers! Nobody wants this garbage, please make it go away.

This is an improvement over the original. I like the continuous scrolling and the faster download. But it seems to lose your place at times and the links usually take a few tries.

I enjoy the hardcopy magazine. But when travelling, the iPad New Yorker is invaluable. I love the interactive, digital-only features. And its also great being able to now adjust type size. Navigation is also pretty simple and intuitive. All-around pleasurable reading experience. The New Yorker by every means necessary.

Cannot see cartoons first or together...app stalls and flips back to first cartoon...very annoying. This has been happening for a number of issues.

I love the handy size and that I can read it anywhere, Wifi or not.

Cant read cartoons all at once. It jumps back. Very annoying. Appreciate some changes such as text size, continuous scrolling but I lose my place if I close a long article. Hate being reminded to read the new issue.

While the current version of the app allows one to read the magazine--barely--its performance is egregiously poor. It does not remember where one has read to, mid-article, and the new gallery for looking at the cartoons simply doesnt work. It needs to be fixed.

Very disappointing. Keeps crashing, and rarely works when I look at the Cartoon Collection. The app for The Economist has been superior since its inception. I prefer my magazines and journals to be digital rather than printed, and at this point I am considering canceling my subscription to The New Yorker.
