## New Scientist Reviews in United States

### *---- "Sensational News. Charged me during free trial."
Titles all feel like they are geared toward the sensational/dramatic side of news instead of focusing on factual science.  I was charged even though I cancelled during free trial.
-- SallyB82, 2024-12-19

### **--- "App is not scalable."
Unlike many other apps, you cannot make the print larger. This is an enormous shortcoming. Their demographic may just include older people with scientific interests. The app should be more accessible.
-- Jon studies nature and science, 2024-12-12

### ***** "Only publication I subscribe to"
I love science, but the major scientific journals are often take a fascinating subject and make it rather dry. The writers at New Scientist take that information the scientists publish and bring it into the real world, giving us science buffs a good read without having to be in scholar mode.
-- sunny hiker, 2024-10-20

### ***** "This is a great science magazine."
I’ve subscribed to several over the years and I still read a few online. But this is the one I want to have in my hands to read whenever and wherever I am.
-- AJRDV, 2024-09-04

### *---- "Why not?"
I get the magazine. It seems like I should get it online too
-- Donrosendo, 2024-07-30

### ****- "Incredibly intellectually stimulating"
As I read an article my mind races to exciting new places. These “places” have vistas that are beautiful beyond description!
-- Gin$Rum$, 2024-06-16

### ***** "Excellent articles on Physics."
All the science articles are up to date and good...
-- BobbiTone, 2024-06-04

### ***** "What a Great Site"
Having been interested in science for the past 80 years, I found your site to be invigorating, entertaining, and with articles that are both fascinating and easy to grasp. I’m glad that I found your site.
-- mbeemler, 2024-04-12

### ***** "Important news missed by the mainstream press"
Reading New Scientist has caused me to change my behavior to stay safer, healthier and to do more personally to help the environment. The Covid information was invaluable, such as learning early on that it spreads in aerosols rather than just droplets.  You learn things that almost no one else knows about.
-- Mr A Magoo, 2024-03-19

### ***** "Wider range of science than other magazines"
Not only is the range of coverage better, most authors are good writers. Not just climate change but the other dozen existential threats that are just as important such as biodiversity loss. And when fossil f  you El alternatives are discussed, it is not just rah rah gushing hopium but challenges as well
-- energyskeptic, 2024-03-17

### *---- "Unable to cancel"
I have about 3 weeks to cancel (new subscription) but there is no “manage subscription” page.. just a 1/4 page of nonsense in very small print. WTH?
-- Al@a2, 2024-03-02

### *---- "The best content in the worst app"
I have read and loved New Scientist for over 2 decades. This app does not do justice to the content. The app retains control of how and when content is downloaded. If you’re in airplane mode, for example, or commuting in a metro with no reliable Wi-Fi, you’ll find that the app did not download most images. Or it stopped the download after a few sections. Or, worst of all, it automatically deleted content you’d spent time downloading. When I say “spent time downloading “, I mean just that. You must scroll to the end of every page for the entire issue if you want it to land safely on your tablet. But don’t go too far, because you don’t want to trigger auto-delete by accident! It is only because the magazine is so good that I put up with this nonsense. Maybe I’ll try Zeno instead.
-- way way uptown, 2024-02-11

### *---- "Dr"
Getting a subscription with a sign in set of credentials is difficult beyond my usual experience so I don't want to waste more time trying to subscribe

I may try again in a few months as hopefully you will correct such annoying difficulties
-- W.d.canham1947, 2024-01-29

### ***** "Fascinating and significant information"
I learn things that I don’t find elsewhere. This is a great source for useful news. Thanks
-- Sisterlouse, 2024-01-14

### ***** "NewScientist magazine is a breath of fresh air…."
One, I’m a geek who loves science. And two, I’m tired of the vitriol, hatred, and misinformation (formerly lies) that X (formerly Twitter) spews and other news media report on.

NewScientist is a British science magazine, and it talks about accomplishments and new areas of research in an easy to read format. Well researched articles describe new areas in Space, Technology, Physics, Health, Mind and Environment. Politics? Well, occasionally, but it’s not a focus and doesn’t have it’s own section. Sports? Well, unless it’s related to one of the other subjects, not really.

I’m pleased to have this resource to go to.
-- Ken Abrams, 2024-01-08

### ***** "New Scientist Reviews"
Articles are very succint and yet informative.
-- hocogaco, 2024-01-04

### ***** "Enjoy"
The most fun and inspiring of all the science apps.
-- jdshep1, 2024-01-01

### ***** "Love the content"
I’ve enjoyed the stories on NewScientist for a while now and decided to subscribe. Unfortunately it’s been a nightmare trying to activate my account.
-- Hard to activate account, 2023-12-09

### ***-- "No App Support so I must write here."
Where is the 'Favorite This' Button?
Where is the 'Back' Button?

I received a Notification of an article which I wanted to save to read in the morning.
I could not find a 'Save' or 'Favorite' Button, though it may have been in plain sight somewhere.

So, I thought, maybe I must hit 'Favorites', in there top right corner, if I remember.

Of course that listed all of nothing, those Favorites which I had saved.  Maybe I couldn't find the button ever since I have downloaded this App maybe a week ago.

So I tested getting back to my article by pressing each of the buttons beneath.  Nothing.  No way to get back to what one is reading.

I certainly would not pay anything for an App like this.

Is it because it is late that I cannot find a button?
-- an App Store user 999, 2023-11-30

### ***** "Exceptional"
The choice of articles in content and quality arereally “bright”
I enjoy them cery much indeed.
Thank you!
