Why are there ads when you've paid for an expensive subscription?
Well done!
Excellent articles and very broad coverage, in a world where issues are increasingly intertwined.
Thank you!

Skips around while you’re reading.
This app is horrible. I’m trying to read a very long and interesting article but I’ve been moved around twice now. Once to the middle of the article and now again with a push to write a review! Thanks for ruining my reading experience. Here’s your review. Hope you like it. Now maybe I can finish reading my article in peace.

Long and mid-for journalism worth reading
This magazine is a must read for anyone seeking solid journalism, fact-checked, probing, insightful and often entertaining.
Timely
This is as thorough and thoughtful news at almost the level of taking a pulse! I enjoy it.
Great content, extremely bad display of comments
Great magazine and content but try entering a comment in the app. The app has extreme trouble in terms of not displaying portions of the text, mangles half of the text horizontally, fails to display words. This has happened across multiple devices old and new, multiple iOS versions.
Balanced perspectives Harvard cuts
Budget cuts are typical in recessionary type economies, particularly in public education. This article gets at the root of the issue, which is not a contradiction of eliminating bloated departments, rather protecting the fundamental of a literate society.
Horrible on older iPhone!! Unusable
There should be a way to go back to much earlier version.
Last several “improvements“ have caused nightmare stalls, freezes, sluggish, unresponsive unusable behavior. Horrible!
Why should I be paying for an unusable app?
Totally craptastic app now. Not all of us are rich.

Top flight reporting
Great source of news of the US and the world. Always well written and factual.
Good Journalism. Bad App
Love the journalism but unfortunately the latest app update of The Atlantic is pretty terrible. It zaps my battery, moves around the article when the advertisements reload and scrolls slowly with glitchy movement.
Please declutter the app and focus on readability and function. (Also, the animation of spinning wheel when pages load looks terrible)

Catchy headlines
But not always more information in the text. Also a frustrating search process. Catchy promotions in ads that turn up in Reddit and other feeds, don’t match the article titles enough for the search function to find them. It’s a
Headache.
Headache.
Writing is Very Good - Politics are Lopsided
While I am not a fan of the current administration and their policies, the Atlantic overwhelms the reader with anti-Trump stories. You have to dig deep to get to stories that touch on everyday American lives. When you find them, they are very well written. The level of human interest goes far beyond a couple of anecdotal stories of “victims” and tells the nuanced complex backgrounds that make issues complicated. Those stories provide the reader with another perspective. Those stories make the reader stop and think after committing the time to read long form journalism. I just wish there were more of them.

Real journalism still exists
I subscribe to a lot of publications. My favorites being The New Yorker and the NYT. When I say that the Atlantic has always the most engrossing articles even compared to those two powerhouses I absolutely mean it. The online app is especially easy to read and user friendly. Non biased straight forward journalism. Keep it up.

Love articles hard to share
Love your articles. There’s no way to share your stories with my family and friends who also have The Atlantic or can at least get prompt to download? That’s half the fun to share
Infinitely Better Than Click Bait
I have always enjoyed magazines. I have had subscriptions over the decades to a dozen or more, most no longer exist. I am 68 years old and if I did my math right I was introduced to The Atlantic 50 years ago. I recall siting The Atlantic for college term papers. In all of the ensuing decades I never read The Atlantic. The re-introduction happened on Facebook. An article, with an interesting title would pop-up and I would read it. Over a few years(?) I realized I read quite a few Atlantic articles. So I subscribed. Print and digital. I love the feel of a magazine in my hand. I also love the opportunity to type in a name and read an article from 1945. There are a few great magazines still standing. Luckily The Atlantic is one of them.

The Atlantic is great, the app a disaster
Scrolling to read articles has become nearly impossible. It appears that scrolling to an advertisement sets off a process of data retrieval that lasts several seconds, during which the text appears and disappears. Sometimes at the end I'm not on the same page of the article but toward the end. The app is using as much of my battery as all other apps combined and is the second biggest user of mobile data (I don't watch videos in the mobile network). If this continues I'll cancel my subscription because it's simply too irritating to read the articles. I have an iPhone 8 and am located in Germany. Please fix this!

Games leaving so I am as well
Had the app because you needed it for the games. They just announced Stacks is being discontinued so I am leaving as well.
Still the worst app on my phone :-(
10 app updates in the last month…and still problems persist! At what point do you just fire the developer for incompetence and find someone else to fix these issues? Y’all need to do better. How am I supposed to enjoy your wonderful journalism if your app can’t deliver it?!
Excellent journalism
The articles in the Atlantic are well researched and extremely well written. They still believe that there is one truth, not many to pick and choose from. They are a trusted anchor in our media landscape and I appreciate all they do.
David Brooks is a favorite of mine. He is a phenomenal thinker and writer.

Great content. Infuriating app
This is only app that consistently logs you out and then, after logging back in, does not recognize my paid subscription and will not let me read an article. What am I paying for? Fix this problem!!! It’s been plaguing this app for more than a year
