The New York Review of Books

The search function is almost completely useless; you can enter the precise title of an older article and the search menu still won’t find it. Furthermore, subscriptions purchased through the app do not grant access to the website for some unknown reason. NYRB has some excellent articles, but this app is so bad and their policy decisions are so nonsensical that I will never support them again.

It's almost as if the app developers do not read and still have perfect eyesight: (1) The font-size settings are unusable. (2) The PDFs are good, but the bookmark function doesn't work in them. I could still live with that if I could move the PDF to a better reader, but the files are locked inside the app. (3) The PDF tables of contents entries do not link to the pages on which the articles are, and I don't see a way to jump to a specific page number. (4) Who develops an app with a name that gets truncated on the screen? Do the deciders actually use the app?

Sorry but tPad doesn’t do it.

No American publication covers as much ground, whether it’s current events, the arts , literature new and old.

There are so many better ways to navigate a PDF document. Please update is app to modern technologies.

Always thorough, always thoughtful, always the best. Learn about new books and old ones. The essays are always well written, and very much on point. A truly excellent literary publication.

The recent update is a big improvement over the old version. I’m actually using the app more than the website now. The only big issue is the limited font size selection. It’s either tiny or huge.

Works ok on iphone but on ipad mini it is much different. (No full page/facsimile pdfs.). Please fix.

The content is the best in the erudite literature magazine world. The app is a waking nightmare. - No dark mode (in June of 2023!) - No ability to view titles of books or films being reviewed anywhere in this app - No way to modify text settings in an article without leaving and navigating to settings, where there is precisely ONE text setting (its size, how exciting) - No way to view the PDF version anymore (why take this functionality away??) It is overall an abysmal app, especially given that this is the “new and improved” version, recently released. What in the world is the publisher thinking? This app looks like it came out of 2009. Please fix your app, NYRB, to at least be close to as high a quality as your superb publication.

And poor search functionality
