  • So very very bad

    This app supersucks for all of the reasons given in the other reviews. I've been a new scientist subscriber for over 40 years, and yet the app refused to recognize my subscription number. I had expected the app to have a search option, so you could search previous magazines by keyword. None of that. I'm not interested in downloading magazines: I have a print subscription.

  • One of the worst

    Amazing that such an incredible magazine about science and technology is delivered through one of the worst apps out there. Terrible UI, with lame features and, worst of all, a tendency to lock up on issues and then never release them. You can't even delete them when they get like this, short of uninstalling the entire app. Which would be fine, except you then would lose the scrapbook of saved articles. And seems like the problem gets worse with time. I have half a dozen issues from the last 6 months I can neither read nor delete.

    Which is the second worst thing. Great you can save individual articles. But no way to sync these across devices or somehow save them in the cloud for later syncing if you buy a new device.

    Too bad really. Because the content is, as New Scientist has always been, fantastic.

  • Best content meh app

    I've been reading ns for a few decades. Went all digital for a few years but now am back to paper web and app. Great content. The app is frequently frustrating.
  • It always gets worse

    It seems evert new release/update of an app is less comprehensive than the previous. This is true of most software. Why can you not, just leave it alone.

    just
