The New Yorker Magazine App Reviews

Not to pile on, but I suspect the New Yorker app needs to be redesigned and rewritten from scratch. Even today, issues are absurdly huge--more than 100MB--and need to be downloaded manually one by one. Multiple downloads cant occur at once, and downloads wont complete in the background. Downloading issues is _work_, and if you arent on a fast enough Internet connection you should be prepared to keep tapping the iPad to keep it from going to sleep (inexplicably pausing the download yet again). Once you do download an issue, navigation is Byzantine and page turning doesnt respond as smoothly to touch as one would expect. While there may not be more advertising than in the print magazine, it feels much more prominent and in your face. Pinch to zoom does not work. While I appreciate the fact that it is possible to read the New Yorker on the iPad, this application does not do justice to the quality of the writing in the magazine itself. For a good example of how a magazine application _should_ be designed, I recommend following the example of The Magazine.

new edition is terrible

Great magazine! As person with very low vision, I cannot read the hard copy... I was very happy to see in the news stand, but was a little disappointed when I could neither change the font size, nor could I zoom in the magazine. Of course I can use the built in zoom of the iPad, but it is not the same. I would really appreciate if this functionality could be added in on of the coming updates. Thansks!

The app is fine. It is however impossible to unsunscribe once you buy a yearly subscription. It automatically renews itself without even asking you. You try hard write emails get some response which somehow desregards a simple request I do not want to renew my subscription please undo the renewal you performed without my consent. I DO NOT WANT TO RENEW MY SUBSCRIPTION. Please forward this message to the involved party if it is beyond your responsıbılıty OR Send me a name and telephone and email for a real person whom I can contact and get results.

Cant see my previously purchased issue — it offers to update it but "the file is missing or invalid". Please fix.

I want stoping my subscribing . How can I doing?

For me "retina support" means that all articles should be published in good quality not only some of them chosen by the publisher. Please dont lie to your readers

Today I bought the new issue in October 2012 for 5.99$ but issue is not received(( the program asked to buy again. Please give me my money or give me my issue. Thanks

but ipad version forgets where i stopped reading

Like it. Nice, stable, interesting. I live outside USA and the New Yorker for iPad is really a great opportunity.

The application crashes as i try to view my purchase, Please, Can you help

I love the New Yorker and really wanted to love this app, but Ive cancelled my automatic renewal because its still unstable, often fails to download properly and crashes continually. Would get 5 stars for content, but the technical defects make it practically unusable.

Cant be forced to keep the app in foreground to download an issue

I love the New Yorker but the app gives me a headache! Here is what happens: whenever I want to get back to where Ive left an article, it jumps back to a totally different spot most of the time near the beginning. Before you updated the App, at least I could try to remember the page number where I stopped reading last time - now, without any page numbers left, I cant even resort to that! No page numbers is a bad idea in any case, since Id like to know vagely how long anarticle is before I start reading it and also during reading. But not fixing this VERY annoying bug since months now, its really frustrating. Thus, just one star. ps. It started with the last 2 updates of the Newsstand-App ( Im aware the newsstand is Apples and not Conde Nast but still - in your updates you should adjust it accordingly...)

Already it is great to have The New Yorker on my iPad, but to access extra contents is always a fascinating plus. If it could download an issue while I read another it would be great!

No page numbers, no understanding which issue one has read and which issue one has not read

I love reading The New Yorker, but I cant believe that if I have subscribed on IPhone its impossible to see the magazine on IPad

I find it very Amazing from an estetic point of vieuw, thecnically experinced failed download and same crashes.

I think it works just fine.

Very good, highly satisfying reading
