New Scientist International

Brilliant and interesting to read all these facts. I can’t think of anywhere else where I could do this. I find it fascinating!!

It’s difficult to find the “search” button and the search function doesn’t work very well.

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.

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!!!

App is very 2017. Needs an update; worst part is that clicking notifications doesn’t load the article you clicked.

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 :)

New scientist is the go to magazine for science related articles. Highly recommend for all to read.

Very good recommend to people love science

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.

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.
