Too many of the articles in health and psychology seem dumbed down. -- Frankie3211, 2025-02-01 ### *---- "The app is terrible- no contents, no listen to issue" The title says it all. It used to be better. Considering cancelling my subscription -- Drdoom566900, 2025-01-31 ### *---- "Bad" I am subscribed but I can’t get my password to work. App is impossible. Frustrating. -- AustLee 27, 2024-11-17 ### ***** "Gratitude for it’s existence" New Scientist is a wonderful magazine and so grateful for the articles. The articles are terrific for the classroom of students 15-17yrs in Science too. Thank you Wendy -- Kittie-Sp8, 2024-02-15 ### *---- "Navigation of New Scientist" I pay my subscription every year but have great difficulty finding the full articles. I should not have to be verifying through traffic lights. I should be able to tap a link in the article in my inbox. Inputting username and password doesn’t work When I use the app I cannot find the original article . There must be easier ways of doing this Now it keeps telling me the nicknames I try are taken! -- Frustrated scientist, 2024-01-25 ### *---- "Terrible onboarding. Total rip off" After paying a subscription I received an email with a ‘activation’ button. Entered all the details but when submitted it just returns you to the same page with all the details blanked out. I tried it about 10 times with same results. I have no password and the password reset button doesn’t send an email link so I’ve paid money and have no way of logging onto the app to read the articles. Waiting to see if I get any response to my email of complaint . Never seen such a poor onboarding process. -- Richard DDD, 2024-01-17 ### ***-- "The app does not store your scroll position" When you switch to another app for more than 30 seconds and back again, the app refreshes the article list and so loses your place in the article scroll view. This is an absolute pain. -- Doris574, 2024-01-06 ### ***** "We need NS to help us understand a constantly changing world" Keep it up, we need you. -- MaryBloke, 2023-11-24 ### ***** "John Boffa Adjunct Prof of Primary Health Care Charles Darwin University Darwin NT" All major advances in human knowledge get into New Scientist including in medicine and public health. New Scientist is quick to pick paradigm shifts early like the one in the treatment of obesity created by the GLP-1 inhibitors. Anyone who wants to keep abreast of all major advances in science in the context of an analytical framework that includes political economy and ethics should read this brilliant magazine -- John Boffa, 2023-08-26 ### ***** "Very interesting" Interesting and credible chunks of information about science stuff. -- BigMbm, 2023-08-09 ### ***** "Synaesthesia and colour/letters" I had always envied people with some form of this mixing up the senses ,from an artistic point of view ..how much more you could potentially do. I would like to know how notes are perceived as colours ..or how paintings of various combinations might smell or taste ..even sound.The process of multiple sensory perception ,they say is reversible so all sorts of mental overlays potentially exist ..quite possibly to the annoyance of ‘always on’synaesthetes . Until this morning reading New Scientist on the phone ,I never knew we the readers could comment or review the magazine ..which I think is valuable usually in these times of climate crisis and uncertainty. Why not a comprehensive study of Synaesthesia ..it’s associations of the senses with examples of art (the colours and composition)interpreted by different forms of ‘thesis’.. -- ants perspective, 2023-06-07 ### ****- "Cosmic Ray Telescope" There is no information available when I try to look up this apparatus. In fact even known operational Cosray Detectors seem to not produce any response from a search. Particularly I want to know about the apparatus at the Australian Antarctic Mawson Station, known as the Cos Ray Telescope. Even the Australian Antarctic Division offers little evidence even of its existence let alone if it is still operating. -- Dale Main, 2023-04-01 ### *---- "Absolutely awful" I don’t know why I put up with this so long before writing a review. Very slow to load content. Incessant repeated “failed to load timeline “ and other errors. Takes forever to download a magazine and won’t let me read it offline. Doesn’t remember my place when I reopen the app - just a blank screen. What the hell is INSURLEdomainerror? The old app was great. I just want to read the current issue of the magazine. Really, I might just go back to waiting 10 days for print delivery it would be more fulfilling. Worst magazine app ever. -- YxtrOz, 2023-03-24 ### ***** "Very much faster and easier to use than the old app" I have been a subscriber for many years and love the content but found I kept falling way behind in reading the magazine with the old app as you needed to download whole issues (which was slow) and had to flip through to find the interesting articles. This app solves that problem and makes reading NS a pleasure again. Subscribe through their website and then login to the app rather than subscribing through the app if you want full access to the website, too. -- Rhyme, 2022-05-08 ### ***** "Steve" You have made the app very easy to use, as it should be. Thanks. -- xxzzrreewwwqqqqq, 2022-05-04 ### *---- "Lost Magazine" I purchase a individual magazine last year and was about to buy another only to discover I now need a subscription and my original purchase appears to have disappeared into the nether regions. Disappointing. Mick from Mount Barker SA -- MickNomad, 2022-04-10 ### *---- "Glaring highlights" Very unhappy with this new version of the NS, as a 30 yr plus subscriber to the magazine and a fan of the online versions since they came out, for the first time I’m tempted to revert to the hard copy. Readability - bring back the section headers, I don’t need to know it’s about humans, but I want to know if i am in the news or the views section without having to revert to the index to find out. Please please please get rid of the yellow highlighted adverts and links, they are awful to have on the screen. Very distracting. I am sick of the same live event advert appearing on every page in glaring yellow (even tho the event is passed) we should not have to see these in every article. Bookmarks are not useful, the app used to know where I was up to, this is a big loss. -- DSC very disgusted, 2022-04-03 ### *---- "Night mode has gone" The “new” app has removed night/dark mode, this was essential to reading in bed without disturbing my partner. The FAQ still mentions it under settings with font size, but it’s not there. Why make the app worse? -- Tris, 2022-03-12 ### ***-- "Content 5 Stars" Disappointed that the app does not bookmark your reading place in the magazine. This exacerbated in that closing the magazine on the page currently being read defaults to the index page after time away from the app. Navigation is also confusing, swiping pages doesn’t alway reflect the index. For an example of a magazine app that does it right please look at The Economist. -- Stezimov, 2021-11-15 ### ***** "Ok but with an annoying glitch" If you’re halfway through a story but leave the app for a few minutes when you reopen it it resets the view so you have to find the magazine and story again. Bring in a bookmark feature or just tell the app to remember where you were up to please!!!!! -- busdi, 2021-06-28 [View all New Scientist Australia reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## New Scientist Australia In-App Purchases | Item | Price | |------|-------| | 1 Month Subscription | $9.99 | | 3 Month Subscription | $99.99 | | 12 Month Subscription | $319.99 | | 1 Year Subscription | $99.99 | | Collection 03 | $14.99 | | Collection 01 | $14.99 | | June 11 2016 | $7.99 | | Collection 13 | $14.99 | | September 03 2016 | $7.99 | ## New Scientist Australia Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Grossing | New Zealand | News | #26 | | Top Grossing | Australia | News | #46 | | Top Free | Australia | News | #189 | | Top Free | New Zealand | News | #244 | ## New Scientist Australia Discovered Keywords - world news - ap news - new scientist australia - new scientist ## Apps Similar to New Scientist Australia - [BBC Science Focus Magazine](https://apptail.io/app/bbc-science-focus-magazine-ABb/australia) - [The Sydney Morning Herald](https://apptail.io/app/the-sydney-morning-herald-cpp/australia) - [Canberra Times](https://apptail.io/app/canberra-times-HFcc/australia) - [The Age](https://apptail.io/app/the-age-JFcc/australia) - [Australian Financial Review](https://apptail.io/app/australian-financial-review-KFcc/australia) - [Newcastle Herald](https://apptail.io/app/newcastle-herald-NFcc/australia) - [Flash](https://apptail.io/app/flash-fGcc/australia) - [The Australian](https://apptail.io/app/the-australian-tddc/australia) - [The Advertiser.](https://apptail.io/app/the-advertiser-mBtc/australia) - [The Border Mail](https://apptail.io/app/the-border-mail-wqXd/australia) ## New Scientist Australia Available In - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/new-scientist-australia-QqXd/australia) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/new-scientist-australia-QqXd/new-zealand) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
