From artificial intelligence to climate change, from the latest innovations in health to the mysteries of quantum physics and the human mind, New Scientist covers the ideas and innovations that matter.

NEW SCIENTIST SUBSCRIBERS
New Scientist subscribers can access digital issues in the app as part of your existing subscription. However, if you have a print only subscription, you will be unable to access subscriber-only content for free.
If you’re a subscriber and you’re having trouble logging in, please get in touch with customer service. The team's details can be found at newscientist.com/iosappfaq
Still no real bookmark capabilities across device or online account.
Also there is a very, very obvious error in bookmark management (removing) - classic case I suspect of the developer not understanding offset indices
properly or whatever scheme was coded for.
Ridiculously frustrating and contemptible lack of investment given the price tag. Doesn't help more 'opinion' is leaking out into the articles that are meant to be fact based, science and scientist based not author point scoring and profile marketing based.
Back to the fold
I retired at 78 and the income became critical.
So NS had to be sacrificed.
Now my wife has taken pity on my loss and on my 80 birthday. So now I am fully up ready running again.
Yes!!!
Great content poor app
App is very 2017. Needs an update; worst part is that clicking notifications doesn’t load the article you clicked.
The content is good but the app is hard to navigate
I’ve had and got rid off the New Scientist app several times. The content can be good but it’s often a bit too superficial for even a non-scientist like me. But it has always been so. The one star is because the app remains basic and difficult to navigate. Where is the search function?? I get regular emails from New Scientist, I spot an interesting article but when I go to the app is it easy to find? No. Putting a magazine online or into an app isn’t just about dumping the content by topic, it should be a dynamic, active experience, leading you through the content that interests you. Maybe time for a bit of AI :)
Science to everyone
New scientist is the go to magazine for science related articles.
Highly recommend for all to read.
Mr a crick
Very good recommend to people love science
Notifications should deeplink
So love the app and the ability to read it all online. Has some minor problems sometimes, like the notifications don’t always go to said article.
That said, enjoy the magazine, articles etc. would just be good to also be able to manage subscription online, especially in the app.
Large font doesn’t work consistently
There is a setting to increase the font size for visually impaired people like me, but it does not increase the titles of the articles available via the various tabs eg “Latest”, “Space”, “Technology”. Instead the article titles listed on these pages vary from a few medium ones to tiny, which I assume is the size all other users get. If I can find an article and open it, the text size is enlarged correctly, but if you can’t browse the full selection to see what there is to read it’s pretty pointless.
Ironically, the page that contains “tools” where you find the accessibility settings to increase the font size only displays in tiny standard size font as well, even after you increase the setting to maximum. Similarly the menus along the bottom eg “home”, “magazine”, only display in the standard size.
This app has the potential to open up a whole world of information for visually impaired people, but it falls short when it comes to basic navigation.
No Search Function
Or if it is it’s well hidden. Why have articles if you can’t search for them. Strange for an magazine app.
Nerd News
I love these thought provoking articles and getting the sense that we are always finding new answers and asking new questions.
