  • Can’t log in on iPad

    That says it all. I can’t access the web by “clicking” where prompted on my iPad. Hope that gets addressed during the current issue!
  • Bugs and Befuddlement (Edited)

    The previous version was highly unstable—it just crashes after a few seconds of reading an issue. So it was unusable.

    Now this version comes out and it looks great. Except I can’t login (and yes, my credentials are correct). Well, I guess we’ll just have to wait another 6 months or year for it to be fixed.

    The login issues seem to have been fixed. For some reason I had to create a new login, so now I have a login for the app AND the website. This isn’t convenient but it isn’t the end of the world. I wish the devs would have explained this...

    Now, about the good things. Unlike some other users, I’m personally thrilled about the new functionality. Adding adaptive screen size support is a huge aesthetic upgrade (no more letter boxing on iPhone X devices), and support for things like being able to switch between a text and PDF view is great. I also like how they’ve incorporated some of the NYer Today app’s features like a story stream for new features. It makes it a much more engaging experience. Brilliant job!

  • Also unable to access my subscription as result of latest update to app

    And customer services sent reply that did not address issue. Just gave same instructions as I already had to get account working.

    App itself is problem. I can sign on to website as usual. But app says can’t verify account or when I used account number to sign in it say “we are experience some problems, check back later.”

    Ridiculous.

  • Alas, if only the latest update worked as described

    I’m still locked out of my account using iOS apps. As a subscriber of this superb publication for, lo, more than thirty five years, I hope to live long enough to log into the NYREV app!
  • Excellent publication, lousy app

    Yet another venerable publication that can’t be bothered to offer a working app. In my case the app won’t allow me to sign in. I’ll stick to using a web browser to read online, thanks.
