Leave a Review National Review
Great content HORRIBLE app
You can’t get through a single article without multiple page reloads, constant bouncing of newly rendered content on the page, or my favorite just a big blank white screen that takes over the whole page while in the middle of reading.
The developers need to render the content from the articles different than just a PWA. I would love to subscribe to national review but I wouldn’t put any money towards an app who’s sole purpose is to render text for the reader and that can’t even be accomplished by these developers.
It might be time for a shake up in your development team if this basic necessity can’t be met.Show lessZak12332
Impossible to read!!
I like the content, as it is informative and well balanced. However... the articles and comments are impossible to read. The app constantly refreshes the page and moves the screen to the top of the article. Before I scroll down, it refreshes again, and again. When I want to read comments, I find myself back to the article itself, and before I scroll to the bottom and hit the comments button, and scroll down to the comments I read, it glitches and I can start all over again. Absolutely frustrating. Please, fix this!Show lessold piko
NRPlus subscriber but can’t log into app
If you subscribed by way of the website good luck trying to log into the mobile apps. I have an NRPlus subscription but have yet been able to log into the mobile apps despite a month of emails, phone calls, password resets, etc. The app login for subscriptions not made in the app itself is broken, and has been, apparently, for quite some time. National Review publishers have passed off the app maintenance and customer service to a lousy 3rd-party service and have neglected to keep proper oversight....or simply don’t care.Show lessKicking47
Article reloads ...
I really wish that people at news organizations actually tried USING the apps to read their news. Every time a new ad loads up, the article is reloaded maybe to where you left off. Maybe not. Meanwhile you spend 30-45 seconds looking at a blank screen. And you can count on this happening a couple of times per article. FYI, I am only reading the web content (free) and I understand the need to monetize. But when the ads are too intrusive/aggravating to make the article readable ... Well, now the ability to monetize off my eyeballs is gone because I will not continue to subject myself to this irritation.Show lessDr. B22
Articles keep refreshing and/or crashing
Waiting for 1 of these updates to fix the bug that keeps making every article crash and either refresh to the top or completely force you to exit and go back to the home screen.
Not sure when you’re planning to fix this but it’s been happening with at least 2 updates....fix the bugs22
Great Articles but the App Crashes at Times
The National Review is home to an enormous amount of great content. New articles appear on the website all throughout the day and are of a great quality. The articles are also neatly organized in the app. My only complaint is the app has a tendency to crash at times. However, it has not been crashing lately.Show lessAsher P.
5 star content, 3 star platform
National Review is a great magazine with excellent writers and superb content.
However, the app is, like most of Don Rickles comedy act nowadays, problematic.
The flaw is in signing in. It doesn’t appear you can actually use your account number to sign in. The free accounts haven’t been merged with subscription accounts. The whole thing is a mess.Show lessknightfd
Subscriber Without Access
I purchased a $70 subscription on the NR website and I am able to read all the content there, but have no access whatsoever to the NR app. The app doesn’t recognize my login. Customer support is a third party that appears to have no clue about the app or how to deal with this very common problem. Also, the app advertises a subscription for $20 a year instead of $70 a year. What’s up with that? What’s the difference?Show lessMikeK1065
Ads
Being a subscriber I should not be seeing multiple or any ads on every page I read. I have clicked on a few articles which take me to the website and it was overrun with ads that I could not bypass. Terrible!
Only have the app installed to read a digital copy of the mag while on the go. That's it.
Update: Used more cell data last month than other apps I use to stream music and videos. Had to disable background app refresh on my phone. I am not sure why this app uses so much data, maybe all the ads?Show lessRudo84
Finally able to log on
Make sure your password for this app and the website have no special characters or numbers or the app will not recognize your login credentials. I’ll rate this app again later after using it a bit.Tattoooz
