The New Yorker

Please add dark mode for a more pleasant nighttime reading.

Not being able to set the content text size in the app and instead being forced to use the system-wide OS setting is the laziest way of programming. Such a shame for otherwise nice app.

Excellent journalism. We hope our www.gay45.eu to become known as The Queer New Yorker honoring the legacy of one of the most revered magazines in the industry.

There are now two Apps for the New Yorker, but both do not offer the stepless Zoom feature we had until last year. Hint for other customers: switch to the Zinio version, which offers a stepless zoom feature and not just three font size settings. Of course you might need a second subscription, but it is worth the money ...

I cannot imagine life without the New Yorker!

The last time I subscribed to the New Yorker was about six years ago. As with public library borrows, you could download issues of the magazine as PDFs to be opened in the reader of your choice. Additionally, you could keep your progress within a particularly long article within the app. Fast-forward to the new and improved version of the app. Downloaded magazines seem only accessible within the app, which destroys the effect of the magazine layout. Worse still, the app refreshes even if you haven’t closed it and are only checking another app for a moment. This means you not only lose your place in the story; you’re also pulled back to the landing content of the app, which might never have interested you in the first place. Additionally, you cannot bookmark your progress in an article or a downloaded magazine; you can only bookmark an individual article without progress. You can’t even highlight a passage to give you a clue where you left off, which is why I spend more time searching for my place in Aviv’s long piece on Alice Munro than I do reading the article itself. I only just subscribed a week ago and am thinking of cancelling my subscription.

I really liked to listen to New Yorker articles on the go, but I am not going to listen to a robot voice. Really disappointing. At least provide the option to filter.

The digital subscription is not worth purchasing. The content of the magazine is excellent. Articles are interesting and well written, but if you have difficulty with your sight when using reading devices this is the worst app I’ve encountered. There is no native feature for sizing text, it says to use the device text size setting, but they don’t work. There is no dark mode that could help. There is no zoom, nothing to aid in ease of reading, which as a dedicated reading app it’s ridiculous!! It’s a shame that this app is so inaccessible to sight challenged individuals.

Fantastic app. I love that it remembers where I left off in an article so I can put it down and come back to it later. One wish: that you could build a “playlist” of audio articles so that once you finish one it would auto-play the next in your queue

Love the organization of the content and the in depth content of the articles
