Snack Sprint 3D

A great thing about the New Yorker is its long articles. But it's terrible to bookmark the page where you are if you have to stop reading. So, in the end, you have to find where you stopped. It's a very outdated app…

I am loving the app, but it would be way better if it had a dark mode for reading.

I bought their services with impress magazines + a free tote, AND I NEVER RECEIVED. I send them email and talked to them on Instagram, but nothing! I’m so disappointed.

And can’t get any help. The app shows I have signed in, but keeps claiming I have not and offers subscription plans...

It wont open

I am a subscriber living in Brasil, difficult to set up the password, link subscription commands when you already have been a subscrber - their data base seems to hold onto old,old passwords so when you renew your subscription and use a different password from your original one ( which may have been inactive for a number of years ) and then when you have paid and are all set to link your account to the iPhone app it will not accept your new password created during the subscription/paymeny process. I eventually went vack to my original password by chance and was granted access. Apart from this nonesense the app is fantastic once it is set up and operable - great app.

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
