Indispensable magazine with demanding readers
I think the app is generally very good since I read it on my iPad. I find it rather funny the number of negative reviews views that are that a literary magazine doesn’t have the resources to constantly update their app, but they have updated it slowly and it’s better than ever
My favorite magazine.
I’ve read the New York Review since its first issue during the 1962 newspaper strike. I loved it at first sight and I still do. It’s a bright spot in the glut of what passes for journalism.
Must have it.
I must have this magazine for useful rational information, viewpoints, and entertainment.

What’s with the font sizes?
Font sizes are either unacceptably small or ridiculously oversized, starting at 2 (why?), then roughly 6, only to leap to about 16 before increasing all the way up to 48 (allowing for no more than ten characters per line on an iPhone).
Where are 8, 10, or 12, font sizes most readers would find easiest to read?
The LONDON Review uses the same Pugpig Bolt software and gets everything right.

The best essays
I love the NYR especially for its essays, which are thorough and illuminating but more manageable in a sitting than the New Yorker.
Unlike the New Yorker, which I also subscribe to and ad,ore enormously, the monthly NYR does not overwhelm or leave me feeling guilty for not keeping up! Fintan O’Toole and Zadie Smith are favourite contributors. I appreciate an international perspective on international affairs while the paper’s heart still resides in NY. I love the design and feel of the physical object but I also enjoy the app on my iPad and reading the online pieces as soon as they come out. It’s a joy to receive the issues in my mailbox, on the other side of the world in the Blue Mountains, Australia.
