New Republic

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!! An excellent app which looks startlingly like the New Yorker app (which is a very good thing!) Thanks for upgrading to a wonderfully easy to navigate app that Makes iPad reading an absolute pleasure! Bravo!

Good reporting!!

I wish I had time to rad new republic cover to cover ..well it takes me longer just type out a message this electronic invasion than it does to read an article in the NR. And still not enough time And not enough room To store all the old books and magazines I want to keep as references, reread or finish. My grandparents had room to keep all the old telephones, victrolas saddles, spoons… their attic and barn hold a 250 year history

Could some competent person fix the technical stupidities of the mobile app over there at New Republic Tower? When I’m reading an article, _I prefer to keep reading the article_ instead of having the app reload, forcing me to search for what and where I was reading. Not every frickin’ update calls for an app reload. Also, I _read_ a magazine so I’d prefer not to see displayed a video option at all, whether I want it or not. Also, maybe TNR needs the revenue from all the crappy ads, but do the ads need to disrupt the functionality of the site by causing (you guessed it) gratuitous reloads? I speak as an online subscriber to TNR, and as someone whose phone has more than half of its storage/memory free for applications to work.

I am new to The New Republic. I regularly read other politically focussed magazines whose articles go on and on far beyond what’s necessary to make their point. Thus far, the articles I have read in The New Republic are thoughtful, informative and mercifully short. THANK YOU.

I wish this app had a built-in reader so I could listen to the articles as I commute.

Paid for subscription online. App confirms subscription. Does not download or open. Works on Firefox online. Try New Republic. Their app works

Font size is too small and apparently cannot be adjusted. Why not fix this?

$10 total for six months digital access was worth a try. But a couple of caveats might be useful to anyone considering it. First, this is one of those sites where you can’t cancel your subscription except by calling customer service, which of course means you’ll have to defend your decision against someone who’ll get in trouble if they let you leave. Second, even as a subscriber to the New York Times, I was kind of appalled at how unabashedly, confrontationally Liberal is their editorial policy. This flavoring will appeal to some of you. But if you’ve got post election PTSD, you may wonder whether their need to offer six months for $10 arises from their not keeping up with trends toward moderation.

I like the magazine. But as of November 2022, this app is a disaster both on iPad and iPhone. Some articles do not open. If you go to settings to do the standard trouble-shooting, there is no icon for getting out of settings (tap the top right: that works even though it is completely blank.) I am of course fully registered. Support people say they can’t do anything unless I bought my subscription through the app, but I didn’t. I bought print + digital. And if I try to read on the website, pop-up windows keep suggesting I should go read something else instead. TNR has good long-form journalism on politics and policy, but their digital operation is rincky-dink nonsense from the 1990s.
