## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Do not subscribe through this app

*2026-02-27*

I bought a three month subscription, with the understanding that I could access to the pass issues. But it only allows you to read one issue, and there is no way for me to get my subscription fee back.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-05-03*

Read online at newphilosopher.com that this app is run by a separate company and that their digital subscription is unrelated to what’s offered by this app.

### 1/5 — Cannot subscribe to magazine for three straight days

*2019-12-23*

No clear way to repor the error; no clear diagnosis of the problem.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2017-10-07*

Though the app grants you every indication that subscribing grants you access to the issues on the app, it in fact does not. While this is illegal, there is nothing I can do about it.

### 1/5 — Won't load

*2016-11-28*

The issues will not load when I've downloaded them, so basically I just paid for nothing. $30 down the drain..

### 3/5 — Great content, poor navigational experience.

*2016-12-16*

The app doesn't remember the last page you  were reading before you close it so you have to press on the magazine and search page by page. This can be extremely annoying as you get to the end of the magazine. There is no magazine overview which allows you to access pages faster.
No zooming in pictures and illustrations so sometimes can't read text or appreciate the artwork as you do with a physical magazine.

### 4/5 — Great Mag, App not bad.

*2019-01-02*

Saw this magazine in some airport and couldn't stop reading the issue about time. Finally got the app on my new phone and happy with it. It’s not as intuitive as it could be and more features could be added, but I think it’s a small company and the app is a work in progress.

### 5/5 — My favorite magazine

*2024-12-16*

My favorite magazine of all. New philosopher is the best source for any deep topic with quality sources. I love using the app

### 5/5 — I love everything about New Philosopher

*2024-01-08*

My favorite magazine.
