The New Yorker Magazine App Reviews

App is very well designed, simple yet functional. My only complaint is that I often lose my place in the articles, it seems to revert back to the beginning on its own.

Preferred the old page-at-a-time mode. Also, really dont like that it starts over from the top of an article if you stop reading/switch apps. But, its still better than the dead tree version.

Finally added font enlargement after years without it

why on earth does the new yorker think we need to see the subtitle of the article during our reading of the entire thing?? and why do they think we are sharing their articles so frequently that we constantly need a big banner at the bottom taking up half a centimetre? people read the new yorker for the text, and those of us still using the iphone 4/4s dont have very much screen to work with in the first place - dont waste huge chunks of it with your banners!! the economist allows for the entire iphone screen to be taken up with text.. take a leaf out of their book!

Loses your place when you pause in an article, closes mysteriously when you ask it to re-open too many times. Pros: offline reading, intuitive navigation, very good reading fonts. Overall: crazy expensive at $60 annually for a digital-only subscription.

Enjoyable read; none of the problems listed below ever happen.

Ive gone back to my hard copy of The New Yorker with great relief, as your "app" system does not seem to recognize Canadian Postal Codes. I repeat, YOU DO NOT RECOGNIZE CANADIAN POSTAL CODES, and now my last 2 paper issues havent been delivered!!!! Im losing patience, folks!

This app is great. Simple and easy to use and it looks especially good on the iPad.

I enjoy reading the New Yorker on the iPad. It is great to have multiple issues at hand. It is frustrating that the app loses your place and starts at beginning of article. It would be nice to be able to bookmark a specific point in an article. Also would be good to zoom in on article to get larger print.

Being new to the iPad, I chose to subscribe to The New Yorker as a way to experience the interactive benefits of a tablet. I have no complaints: this app is superb. The bonus interactive content provided allows a deeper engagement with the subject matter, the external links function perfectly, and I have never had the app lose my place in an article or issue. It is elegantly designed and takes full advantage of the digital medium. I am using this as a complement to physical copies of the magazine. However, I am so impressed with the look and functionality of the app that I am likely to subscribe solely to the digital edition next year. Access to the full digital archives of The New Yorker is a wonderful bonus.

The app is not opening ?????? I paid and am nt getting my monies worth

This app is a lot like having the magazine ...

I read my New Yorker on my iPad. Im notified immediately when new issue is out and download long before hard copy arrives by mail. My place is saved when Im done & opens where Ive left off, which is convenient. The app is very user friendly, all my past issues are archived, and Ive found the courage to throw out old issues. How many of you can say that?

There is not even a first issue free so you can browse. Must purchase each issue for $6.99!! Misleading "free" app

Number one fan, but this week it crashes all the time.

Great magazine but app needs iPhone 6 optimization! Its been half a year now, this app looks horrible on the larger iPhones.

It looks great on the iPad — feels like reading the paper copy. Each issue is large, but can easily be archived to iCloud to save storage space, then downloaded again any time. Annual subscription is a bargain compared to the single issue cost. And the content, of course, is excellent.

It is too bad that this app does not deliver and that Condé Nast just do not get it. Perhaps this app it is a kind of a start, but it offers too little too late and at too high of a price --31,000- yen for a year payable each week. I was expecting to have the option to subscribe to an iPad version of the NY and be able to download it INTO my iPad each week and be able to read it even when I do not have an internet link. I should have the option to buy an iPad version, or a paper version or both together. The iPad version with a paper version should be free. The conservative Economist does this each week so it cannot be that difficult. Here in Japan, if you go to a Starbucks and want to read your NY on your iPad, forget it without an internet connection which you have to pay for extra if you have a wi-fi version. I end up just reading my Economist. I wonder if CN is listening?

I subscribed for 1 year, and I cant download any of the magazine! total fail.

I was one of the many frustrated users of the New Yorker app on the iPad, and even started a discussion on the apple support boards to find help from fellow readers, many of whom were experiencing similar problems. I am happy to report that the 3.7 update released on Nov. 18th has solved for me all the problems that the application had. It downloads automatically as advertised in the newsstand folder and everything runs smoothly when reading an issue. I hope that everybody is having the same experience! The New Yorker iPad app is finally worth 5 stars!
