The New Yorker App Reviews

Never works. Never has. Probably never will

This is basically the iOS version of the New Yorker website, with current content including magazine articles and more. As such, it is a great to have this material available for iOS, especially not having to download full issues as with the magazine app. The one big problem, however, is that the font size is humongous, too big on an iPhone and incredibly large on an iPad. I havent yet found a way to decrease the font size, so prefer to go online for this content.

For small screens only.

This is a great app. Nice cartoon feature and clean interface, along with the always compelling content youd expect from the New Yorker. But the technical issue of bookmarks and favorites always disappearing without even accessing them has gotten a point where its very irritating. I scroll the app, find something I want to come back to later by bookmarking it, and then its gone a few hours later. So I stopped doing it. Yes I can just bookmark it elsewhere, but this needs to be addressed. After several complaints, it still seems to be in progress. I hope they have a fix soon. Thats my only qualm. I am not sure if anyone else is having this issue or if Im just unlucky.

Great app. Have used it every day since downloading. Love the decent font size on the iPhone version. Clean, easy interface.

If you like the magazine, youll love this app. Stories and their famous cartoons right at your fingertips. Should be on everyones "must have" app list.

A well polished app that matches the subtle and refined design you would expect from The New Yorker. If I could suggest one design suggestion, it would be to integrate the magazine app into this one. I dont see a reason to have two separate apps to maintain.

...now can you please make a version for the 12.9" iPad?

this is the best place to pass the time. best writers, best access, current and interesting stories, EASY to read and changes all the time. New Yorker has figured it out. Thank you!!

This looks so great on the iPad, amazing stories as usual with breath taking art. Im a subscriber and the bottom bar disappears now when I scroll in the article thats wonderful

Latest release "hitches" early into every single scroll movement. Looking forward to a fix.

But for the sadly unbalanced ölprovning

I like the design of this app, and dang near everything about it, except it is missing one crucial feature. When I exit out of it and restart it, or when the app has been sitting idle and reboots itself it never remembers the place I left off in the article. I have to scroll down each time to find it, which on the longer form articles is a total pain. Please fix this issue!

Easy to set up and easy to use. Perfect for those interminable minutes while waiting in the dentist office. As usual the cartoons are great, but their presentation is superb.

In this day and age of Internet journalism its refreshing to read the articles in the New Yorker today.

Other publications permit and encourage readers to voice their opinions immediately following an article. Why doesnt "The New Yorker" ? One sided viewpoints lose credibility. Responders raise issues that give pause. The editorial board and staff do not have a monopoly on facts or virtue. Give readers a forum !

I got this app because it seemed more convenient than the website for getting up to date article. Unlike the website, it doesnt divide up,articles by content (news, culture,etc) only a list of the " most popular". It would be nice if you could get more variety or search for articles. As for the reviewer who complained there was a limit to free articles, try subscribing, you shouldnt expect to be provided with great content for free. Its how people make a living.

I am so thrilled about this new New Yorker Today app that I was compelled to leave a review as both a kudos to the publisher and to recommend for other readers out there! At long last, this newest iteration of the New Yorker app is easy to navigate, super mobile-friendly, and articles are finally bookmark-able! PLUS, theres a section for cartoons only which is an endless source of delight during my commute or just waiting in line somewhere. I was flipping through the cartoons for nearly 5 minutes straight and it never seemed to end - huzzah!! Keep up the good work @newyorker people! This new app brings me happiness :)

I have always loved to read the magazine ! Although, I must admit when I was a young girl I really loved the comics and would think about them for some time to try to analyze them like an adult to understand them ! I love the whole collection of stories, essays, articles, memoir, and book reviews , movie reviews , as well as music and art updates and theatrical schedules! All things New York are considered a great measure of what is happening in our country and around the world to me . I do end up spending each week on a Sunday , usually , catching up with my New Yorker . Since it is on my phone now too, I can read it anywhere while I am waiting . It is good reading and not just a wasted magazine filled with advertisements! Sincerely, Dawn Copley P.S. I forgot to mention my favorite poetry included ! I really enjoy some of the poetry ! We do not often get to enjoy poetry in print by the week ! ❤️

The app is wonderful, and to make it even better, please create a widget for the new iPhone iOS 10.2. Thatll let us see whats new at a glance right on the lock screen. Heres hoping!
