Something I don’t like is that I can’t find a way to search for articles… is there no search function? Small nit: the number of consecutive sponsored articles that show up on the different tabs… ### 2/5 — Oh well *2025-10-08, version 2.8* Poor app ### 2/5 — Great articles. Terrible app and service *2025-03-05, version 2.6* Took ages to get my subscription working and it said I didn’t have one when I did. Apps interface is bad. When I receive emails of articles it doesn’t let me automatically open on the app and takes me to the web page where it doesn’t remember my login. Ironic considering they’re in the business of technology news. ### 4/5 — remove “subscribe” ads for subscribers *2025-02-26* also, every article need to have the original time & day it was published. thank you. and stage manager on the iPad Pro 12.9 inch the font size adjustment doesn’t work properly. either it’s too tiny or it’s too large. ### 4/5 — Lacks a search feature *2025-01-17, version 2.6* I think that MIT Technology Review should have a search feature. ### 3/5 — Can’t Change Font Size *2024-11-08, version 2.5* Simply annoying that you can’t change the font in a modern app. ### 2/5 — Weak app *2024-09-01* Can read all this stuff somewhere else without paying a fee. ### 3/5 — サインインできない *2024-08-21* いつもPCやスマホのブラウザで見ています アプリを発見したので喜んでダウンロードしましたが、なぜかサインインできません ブラウザでidとパスを再度確認してもダメでした… なぜ… ちなみにコンテンツそのものは素晴らしいです ### 5/5 — Font size *2024-02-12, version 2.5* Want to be able to change the font size baldness in family ### 5/5 — Great Publication! *2024-02-02, version 2.5* I rely on Technology Review to keep abreast of developments of interest to our local innovation community. Over the years, I have found it to be an excellent publication, well worth my time. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-01-30, version 2.5* Overall great app. One thing to improve for me is when you’re reading and article and you leave the app, when you come back to the article it doesn’t take you the part you were reading , but to the top of the page of that respective article. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2024-01-25, version 2.5* The new version of the app is amazing. It finally brings together all aspects of the TR subscription and makes it seamless. Thank you and great job! ### 5/5 — Great user experience *2023-12-21, version 2.5* I have been a reader for many years but I’m new to the app. It was easy to connect my subscription and I love that I can save articles to read later. Definitely recommend - you can’t get these technology insights anywhere else! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Future Sight *2026-05-21, version 2.9* Absolutely love to get insights into an emerging world brought about by the best, most advanced science! ### 1/5 — Glitchy Login *2024-02-05, version 2.5* Unable to create a new account and link it to my Infinite Connection. ### 1/5 — Subscription activation issue *2024-02-05* Subscription is not activated after successful payment. ### 1/5 — App is awful, content is fine *2024-01-24, version 2.5* You know what you’re getting with the magazine. The app is terrible, I deleted it just to use the web browser instead. The app takes forever to load and if you lock your phone it closes everything and needs to load again and you lose your article and your place in it. Still have the same trouble, doesn’t provide any benefit over using a browser. ### 1/5 — Lost my money due to to the app glitch *2024-01-24, version 2.5* I had a subscription and when I signed in using the app, my subscription couldn’t be found. I thought my previous subscription was over so took another subscription. Turns out that my previous subscription has not expired. Reached out to customer, responded after 10 days and literally no use. I cancelled all my subscription. I do not recommended this publication to anyone. ### 1/5 — Terrible App, Great Content *2024-01-09, version 2.5* No doubt, the content from MIT is terrific. I’ve subscribed for years. But, the content is so difficult to reach. The app can’t keep me logged in. And reading in a browser constantly requires logging in and it’s common to loose the article I was logging in for and need to start all over. I’ve complained multiple times to the staff directly. They never have a solution that lasts. If I wasn’t addicted to the content I would happily drop this annoying process. Wouldn’t you expect that the smart people at MIT would be able to make the subscription and logging in process work? The New York Times can do it, so can many others. ### 1/5 — New app fails to restore or recognize subscription *2023-12-14, version 2.5* After signing into new app > I needed to kill app and reopen before it would show me as a valid subscriber. This is what happened after this new app updated on my phone… Opened new app, signed in with my existing subscription account. App UI would not update and show me as a valid subscriber. Kept show upsell to subscribe and not letting me read the articles. Signed into website to make sure my account was valid and it was. Went back to the app tapped restore purchase and it said success but app still did not update and show me as a valid subscriber. I needed to kill app and relaunch before it would recognize me as a subscriber. ### 1/5 — App is awful, content is fine *2023-08-09* You know what you’re getting with the magazine. The app is terrible, I deleted it just to use the web browser instead. The app takes forever to load and if you lock your phone it closes everything and needs to load again and you lose your article and your place in it. ### 1/5 — Keeps reloading whenever I open the app *2022-03-30, version 1.7* Keeps reloading and refreshing whenever I reopen the app. Cannot multitask at all. Surprising considering it's 2022. ### 1/5 — Paid for subscription via Apple - app will not let me login *2022-02-26, version 1.7* The credit card attached to my appleID has been charged for the subscription I made - but the app doesn’t recognize the associated email — so I have now paid $50 for content I cannot access. Waiting to hear back from help desk to confirm they will issue a refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellence shows *2026-05-10, version 2.8* MIT Tech Review is consistently producing thoughtful ideas and reviews that makes the reader (me) want to read past the headline. The avalanche of headlines, both articles and advertising, miss the content within. We are numb to catchy headlines and manipulative content - and depend on the quality of the medium for actual reading and thought. MIT Tech Review wins on content and thought provocation! ### 5/5 — Always Informative *2026-01-11, version 2.8* Great source on a variety of technology topics. ### 5/5 — Happy *2025-11-26, version 2.8* Ode to Joy ### 5/5 — Smarter *2025-09-22, version 2.8* I get smarter with every article read. ### 5/5 — 💯 *2025-09-10, version 2.8* The Kindle for MIT Tech Review ### 5/5 — Unbiased and factual *2025-07-06, version 2.6* Finally tech reviews with no spin, little or no politics, thank you ### 5/5 — The best 👏🏻✨ *2024-12-15* The best source of tech, ai news and analysis in the place for sure. Great work, great presentations. ### 5/5 — Excellent source of timely, well-considered news and topic reviews *2024-10-23* I read MIT Technology Review primarily for information about the reliability of predictive and generative AI (I work in health care), and it has taught me a lot and keeps me up to date. Along with the subscription come a number of options to participate in panels and Q7A sessions with experts, which I appreciate. I also like the healthcare updates. ### 5/5 — Teacher *2024-09-14, version 2.5* This is an excellent source of new scientific ideas. As a retired science teacher I realize that if this were available while I was an active educator my students would be better off. There is another benefit I enjoy because I am a lover of learning! ### 5/5 — Who says the Future is Unknowable ? *2024-03-30, version 2.5* Niels Bohr stated that:- “Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the Future” I’m sure if he had access to the minds of MIT as revealed in MIT Technology Review he might have been more circumspect in considering that the future is so totally unknowable. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
