The New World User Reviews

Top reviews

Need a magnifying glass

It is impossible to use the Mac’s zoom facility to make the text bigger and app does not provide its own Zoom function. The default is tiny. Unreadable for my aging eyes. Needs sorting

NO WAY TO CANCEL IN APP

There is no way to cancel my subscription that is obvious. This seems to be deliberate. I sent an email and got referred to another email address. This is lousy service.

Honest, thoughtful reporting

The New World is my go to for unbiased, factual news and informative, considered opinions

Daft rebrand but still independent

The New European was where pragmatic common sense opinion seems to be mostly corralled (along with some in the FT) so they foolishly wasted time, effort & goodwill on a rebrand.
The app is good but beware the subscription free gift (whether book or passport cover) never arrives

Informative

A breath of fresh air and honesty. A pleasure to read

Great, independent writing

This is a refreshing look at events closer to home, so a less US focused bias … whilst still keeping things relevant. Interesting, entertaining and informative. Recommend.

TNE subscription

The New European is a terrific newspaper, with a host of articulate journalists and a broad and varied approach to European culture and affairs. I read it from cover to cover every week.

Top quality opinion pieces

As a subscriber of the physical weekly newspaper and online version from the very beginning (2016-17) I can state that TNE is on par with The Economist , my other favourite newspaper in the UK. TNE is miles ahead of many other publications: the calibre of its opinion pieces is unparalleled. Mason, Campbell, Koch, etc etc . Will Self’s last page column is epic.

Good content, not so good app

Loving the content but the app doesn’t feel very slick. I don’t need to see the New European animation every time I switch back to the app

A QOL improvement would be if there was some way to mark which articles I had read already.

Content great, app ok

The app can be quite buggy still and one particularly annoying feature is that you have to watch the “splash screen” animation every time you open the app even if the app is already open and you are just switching in and out of it. The animation is about 6s long which is tedious on the 1,000’s time and it also doesn’t obey dark mode so is blindingly bright if you are opening at night.

Cannot update

So now I cannot use this app any more because my device does not support iOS15. Was that really necessary? Goodbye.

Adding to my knowledge every week

The New European being delivered every Wednesday is a highlight of my week. Mandrake and Alistair Campbell, Great Europeans (still waiting for Jean Pierre Melville), Bonnie Greer, Tanit Koch, Patience Wheatcroft, Paul Mason and Matthew d’Ancona and the online cryptic crossword puzzle. Carry on the great work.

Font sizing

Can’t change font size. Can’t read it without spectacles. Not accessible.

What journalism should be

An excellent read that presents opposing views in a coherent and thought provoking way, more left of centre in it’s outlook but then it is European.

Essential reading

If you want to understand what’s really going on sign up now!

Where centrist politics now lives

The New European is where pragmatic common sense opinion seems to be mostly corralled (along with some in the FT).
The app is good but beware the subscription free gift (whether book or passport cover) never arrives

Gift subscriptions

Absolutely love the paper but finding it impossible to purchase a gift subscription !

The Best Newspaper…

TNE has brilliant journalism, incisive analysis and a lucid often witty style which never trivialises the gravity of the issues facing Britain today. In a world of “alternative facts”, distortions of the truth and, indeed, outright lies, it is a beacon of truth and hope. I look forward to it landing in my Inbox every Wednesday.

Just awesome

My go-to read everyday for cutting-edge hard hitting forward thinking journalism with cosmopolitan flair a cross of Platini/Cantona perhaps

Poor app.

This app constantly has to be deleted and re uploaded and sign in process repeated. Not a major hassle but still ridiculous that it doesn’t recognise if a user is already a subscriber.
