## What is New Statesman & Archive?

The New Statesman is Britain's leading and most authoritative weekly political, cultural and current affairs magazine.

The iPad/iPhone edition brings you selected pages from the latest issue as soon as it is available. You can subscribe within the application for full access, which brings you every page of the issue and a searchable archive back to June 2014. Issues are not sold individually - for the duration of your subscription you have access to every issue in this archive.

During your subscription you can sync back issues to your device. These will remain in place if your subscription expires, unless your device removes them (for example when running low on disk space). Re-downloading issues requires a current subscription.

• Swipe or tap the page edges to flip to next/previous page.
• Use the animated thumbnail view to flick through the pages.
• Pinch or double-tap pages to zoom.
• Switch between single or double-page view.
• Search the current issue or the archive.
• Tap any page links to web sites, email addresses, phone numbers or maps.
• Tap contents-page links to jump to a particular article.
• Sync back issues to your device for offline reading (requires wi-fi).
• Network connection required otherwise.
• Bookmark favourite pages or search results to read later.
• Social Media sharing feature allowing you to share pages with friends.
• If your institution has a magazine subscription, you can access it directly from within your registered IP range.
                                                                      
We recommend first running the app within a wi-fi area so it can sync the latest issue to your device - after that you can use it anywhere. Subscribers will receive new issues automatically.

Subscriptions are available within the app at the following prices:

Monthly £7.99
Annual £79.99

In addition, please note the following standard features of auto-renewable subscriptions:

• Your payment will be charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions will renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Apple Account Settings after purchase.
• No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during active subscription period.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work with subscription

*2024-03-25*

Don’t expect to use this app if you’ve taken out a paid subscription to New Statesman Digital directly via its website, because it doesn’t work. You can only read on the app if you’ve paid your sub via Exact Editions or Apple Store.

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2021-05-06*

I’ve signed last week - again, as the previous version stopped working - but I have no access to the latest edition which should have been out today. In addition. The iPad edition is quite limited as we have no access to the live feed of the magazine. 
If I need to pay almost 10 quid every week to access an issue I will buy the paper edition whenever there are editions with lots of good articles (which is not always case).

### 3/5 — Latest issue not provided?

*2019-12-24*

Not sure who is responsible here, but the issue dated 18 December 2019 is not on this App I have on 24 December 2019. I paid via iTunes. 

Let’s be fair here iTunes/Apple and News Statesman, just ensure we all get equal access to the publication etc.

### 1/5 — What a load of rubbish

*2016-12-16*

What use is it when the current issue is unavailable to download? Don't waste your time and buy the digital magazine from the publisher and not from some middleman.

### 1/5 — Does not fulfil advert

*2015-02-22*

Told that I would receive one free issue of the mag if I downloaded the app. This is not not the case. Instead there are a few pages and the message that you must subscribe to see the remainder. Was thinking about subscribing but wanted to check out the app first...... as a result will not be subscribing now.
