Leave a Review National Review
Best News and Commentary in America
NR is the best news and political commentary site in America. They are grounded in the conservative tradition, but allow a breadth of perspectives within it. They allow writers to support or attack Trump as the situation determines. They are one of the few remaining institutions with both integrity and a willingness to allow for good faith disagreements and honest debate. Almost certainly, they will publish view points you dont like… that is the point. At times you might be frustrated that it’s not a mere echo chamber. And if you’re a committed political progressive you might hate everything. But… if you want thoughtful and honest conservative political engagement, this is the place for you. Well done NR!Show lessMatty L. K.
Content is great, app is eh
This is purely and app review, not the content. The app doesn’t support dark mode, articles still show with bright white background even at night with dark mode enabled. This makes reading in the app at night with the lights off quite uncomfortable. Also, the app title bar constantly pops in and out in a way that feels “jenky” for lack of a better term. The title bar doesn’t flow nicely when scrolling. Lastly, I was disappointed that despite paying for a subscription, I still have to endure an add banner at the bottom of each article.
All that said, content is great so keep up the good work to the writers. However, to the app developers, do better.Show lesspennma01
Difficult start, now working well
I received an NRPlus subscription (purchased on their website) as a gift, but couldn’t login to the website or this app. I sent emails that went unanswered. I made a phone call that got me an emailed password that didn’t work. I called again and finally got someone who could reset my account and give me access. On a positive note, they extended my subscription by a month to account for the month I was locked out.
The app is simple and works well 99% of the time. On a few occasions I’ve switched between topic tabs and had the app refuse to load headlines, but closing the app and relaunching it has fixed that. Otherwise it just works.
There’s one major annoyance that I wish NR’s developer would fix: if you want offline acces to stories (eg. if you’ll be flying and won’t have Wi-Fi) you have to load each story one by one, then the app will store the text.
They really should add a button to download the text and images for all new content — and yes, probably also the ads that litter every story — so I can update the app in a few seconds instead of the several minutes that it takes now.
Speaking of the content, National Review’s is top notch. If you want to read news reported as facts without a leftist bias, and you want to read opinion from a classical conservative perspective, then NR is the place to go. An NR subscription isn’t cheap, but it’s well worth the price.Show lessE-D-P
Buggy and annoying
Still bad. Worst app I have ever used for publications. Love the publication, which I only read digitally, but the app is often very annoying. When reading, when new articles load, it kicks me out of what I’m reading and takes me back to the articles list page. When I download the magazine to read offline, certain articles - why just certain ones? - are not available to read offline. And, there is no way to change the font size! The Wall Street Journal app allows me to change font size, which is very helpful! All these things seem fixable - so please do!!!
Keeps taking me to the web version to login for the umpteenth time, then throws me to an error page; really is this that hard to make a decent app?Show lessBilly Guitar
Top Dog
I’m not picky about what I read, but I’m also not the type to leave reviews. National Review simply produces the best content. I stopped caring about my New York Times and Wall Street Journal subscriptions after downloading this app.J135798652
Can’t say enough about NR!
Have been a devotee’ of NR since March, 1972….remember the day vividly. It has traveled the paths our forbears of Western Civilization have hewn and continues to be a forester in the post-modern jungle of irrationality! I don’t always agree with it’s cast of iconoclasts, but Bill Buckley know was part of the fun!!
Keep on keepin’ on NR!!!Show lessB. T. G.
Have been a member for three years and still struggle with the paywall
How many times do I have to sign in before I cancel my subscription? I am constantly not being recognized for my email and/or password. I have three devices I use to read NR. They either have different passwords or do not match. Please give me the easiest way to read on line. I have no trouble with other subscriptions. Beth Coon.Show lessliz coon
Indispensable
Now more than ever National Review defines contemporary “must read” territory, not just for politics, but also for economics and culture. Find a variety of views, disagreements, but always modeling a rational fact-based search for consensus. How else are we to regain a fundamental unity and love of country without which we remain “a house divided?”Show lessDavRoKel
Finally!
After far too long and far too many problems in its previous iterations, this app finally works flawlessly.mom2fleid
Thanks for the upgrade and service
I love the balance of news. I love the customer service and I love the respect of free speech from NR comment sections. We all dont have to agree. Difference of opinions help us grow and NR shows by their ACTIONS that they value free speech. Im thankful. I love the podcast and the new capital matters section as well. If you dont know by now I love national review 🗽🇺🇸🙂🙃Show lessCam from Central Park
