The New Yorker

I love this app, but I really wish I could use it before going to sleep, without getting exposed to too much light!

Two stars for the writers I would love to read but cannot.

First among many. The one source for new writings, best for continuity when that really counts. In times of backward reverses, the dependable forward momentum.

Logged into the app to see my crosswords already being filled out by other people. Seems like the crossword section is stuck on partner mode even though I never shared any links. Huge security issue

This app logs me out often and then claims I don’t have a subscription. It isn’t the greatest.

My New Yorker experience has not been positive. The articles are interesting and well written but the ads are unbelievably intrusive and make it very difficult to ignore. I signed up for a a three month promotion for a very good price ( about 20 dollars). I was unable to access my subscription and completely forgot about it. Three months later I got charged for 125 yearly subscription. I emailed them and just got a run around. They wanted my information, which I gave but they wanted more. It was so silly because they just sent out an automated response asking for a physical address and the order number, neither of which was relevant for my case (I had no order number because it was a promotion I got on the internet). I gave up, found my way into the account (finally!) and cancelled my subscription so in didn’t get charged again this year. They really don’t make it easy! Now that I finally have access I’m blown away at how intrusive the ads are. Right in the middle of an article and frequent. They even do little videos. It’s unreal. The New York Times is much better in this regard. I haven’t even noticed any ads.

Three things: frequently signed out, and signing in is sometimes a fraught process; very poor performance, especially on launch; no dark mode.

1. It is annoying you can only sign in with a mail link and you can only open the link on the same device for it to work. It should be more flexible than that. 2. Dark mode for crosswords is broken. Recaptcha isn’t working so now I can’t sign in at all anyway. Also they discontinued the best feature, the cryptic crossword.

Love this app. Always recognizes me. Always opens and the audio short fiction has been game a changer for me. I never miss an issue

i would like a dark mode feature, or something to adjust brightness at night
