Leave a Review National Review
Journalism still exists at National Review
The stories at National Review are well-written and well-researched. Most pieces are written with a political bent, and that is to be expected at NR, yet the coverage is still fair. It is one of the few remaining journals one can turn to for reliable news. Once well-respected newspapers such as the New York Times and WaPo are now agenda-driven rags that can no longer be trusted to deliver the actual news. National Review fills that void. Great writers like David Harsanyi make it a must read.Show lessportgirl17
Love the content, HATE the app
National Review is my favorite website hands-down for its thoughtful and thought-provoking content. But the app is terrible. For some reason, it kicks me out of an article I’m reading and sends me back to the menu of articles. This is a consistent problem and has been happening for months. Another problem with the app is that it inconsistently won’t allow me to view NR Plus articles, even though I am a subscriber and am logged in. I have tried emailing app support but that was frustrating as well and the problem hasn’t been resolved.Show lessBLS in MA
Fantastic site
There is no other place on the web to get such intelligent thoughtful analysis of the both the issues of the day and on culture and philosophy. The mobile app design seems a bit outdated compared to the website, but this is a must have for the thinkers out there.rkurschn
A terrible app
Regardless of what you think of the content on The National Review, it is hard to get past the frustratingly clunky app. It takes forever to load. It is not stable.
Even though I have an annual subscription, it always asks me to subscribe. The only way I have found to clear the subscription add is to attempt to resubscribe. Only to have it remind me that I am already subscribed.Show lessBakeJ 3
Excellent but Inaccessible Content
I don’t mind paying for good journalism, and NR offers excellent writing on politics and culture, but the app for the iPad performs terribly. It loads slowly, and then, after choosing “Website” content, it slowly loads the list of articles from the website (often leaving out the most current ones). But when you click on a specific article to read, it may take several minutes to load. Or it may never appear. I’ve paid $99/yr for access, but won’t be renewing my subscription because the app and website are just too difficult to use, even for paying subscribers.Show lessCash-heavy Investor
My favorite reading
I've subscribed to NR since 1992, and I find this a good way of taking several issues with me, in addition to keeping up with the website. That said, the app is buggy and sluggish, the automated reading of articles is rarely smooth, and I repeatedly have to login. Would that the software engineering could match the content!Show lessRobRhein
Glitchy
I like the content. Yes, there’s a little too much opinion, but many authors do use data and facts to back up their arguments. Besides, what journalistic organization does not have opinion drift into their articles any more? I’d give the app 4-stars based upon content (sorry, tough grader). But, I find the app glitchy: content missing, suddenly the app jumps to the home page or crashes and the article that was being read can no longer be found. An infrequent rate of occurrence and I wouldn’t care, but it happens quite frequently on my iPhone. Sorry NR.Show lessGrubstr
Good content but app is buggy
This is not a review of the content of NR, but the app itself. It is very buggy. Often signs me out so I have to re-sign in frequently. Articles don’t load, won’t save to favorites, will jump back to a menu when I’m in the middle of reading... I’ve had the app for over a year and I’ve never been happy with it. But I keep it for the content.Show lessBfltsnik
Expert - Elite Class Blather
I subscribed to NR thinking that it was a respectable publication. What I found is its writers are pseudo intellectuals writing long winded piece with their thesauruses in hand to interject multi syllable words so that readers will look upon in awe and think - oh my, how smart they must be!
Additionally, their writers and editors, are unable to see beyond their hatred of DJT, and his American supporters. 98% of contributions exhibit trump derangement syndrome. They might as well replace Mr. I’m so smart Andy McCarthy directly with that patriot Hillary Rodman Clinton. That is if she could step over all of the dead bodies in her wake and find a working computer after so many of her’s were destroyed illegally to hide her wrongdoings.
The elitist at NR can bash Trump countless new ways each and everyday. However, it is beyond their comprehension to think of and articulate a creative solution. Apparently they believe that Harris the fraud and Biden to ccp puppet are the candidates and path for the former USA they recommend.
VDH and Ms Lopez are exceptions and have humble and independent minds. Their contributions are valuable to all for reading and consideration.Show less"O man"
