Great, intelligent magazine, very poor iPhone app

This app is pretty poor. If you come off the app, even briefly for example to read a message, when you go back in you have to wait whilst it refreshes the whole page - normally back to the top. Why does it need to refresh at all? And if you’re reading the digital magazine (as opposed to the live feed) and leave off for an hour or so, the whole thing refreshes and you’re kicked out of the magazine tab and lose your place entirely. And you have a limited choice of font size - too big or too small. The NS could learn from the Economist on how to make it a good experiences. Really puts me off using it. It’s making me wonder if I’ll renew my subscription.

Two things that will improve the app enormously

Hi. Please can you… 1. Offer alternative fonts. The one you have is not great to read on a screen 2. Make the text size more flexible. The slider has only three options. Thanks

Simply the best

You are exposed to so much poor news media nowadays that to read anything in the NS is to breathe oxygen in a gas filled mine. Thoughtful critical responsible honest and supportive reading , simply the best . Even a populist might read it

Notifications not working

Not impressed. Can’t log in therefore notifications of new articles don’t work . When will this be resolved?

Awfully buggy app

Imagine a magazine that looses its place every time you set it down for 2 minutes or whose pages sometimes refuse to turn. That's this app. It frequently crashes when the phone is locked or when in the background, meaning you have to find your place again. There are also scrolling bugs which mean you often can't actually scroll down an article. I've had both these issues regularly on my iPhone 15 Plus and 2020 iPad Air. It's not the fault of NS, I subscribe to another magazine which appears to use the same base-app ("pugpig bolt") and it has exactly the same issues despite being on an older version, which goes to show how much investment is happening in QA! Please improve the app quality.

Glitches

The app does not work smoothly, it gets stuck quite often, which makes reading very uncomfortable.

Annoying functionality

The content is great but a few annoying traits. 1. The App doesn’t hold one’s place on part read articles and so if you are distracted part way through reading an article the app returns to the start of the article when it is reopened. 2. Not all articles appear on the “latest” list as they are issued and so you have to scroll through the magazine to find any items that are not listed.

Making a search

It would be useful to have the search icon on the main screen of the app, rather than hidden away in the account section.

Good mag, rubbish app

A fan of NS, but this app lacks basic functions. Dark mode STILL hasn’t been added. You can’t lock your phone and reopen an article without it putting you back to the top, making you lose your place. Links within the app to other NS articles opens the article in A BROWSER, instead of the app. Shoddy stuff.

Frustrating

High quality journalism… when it works! Have enjoyed reading the magazine however after my initial few uses i can no longer log in to the app. I can still access the website with my subscription.
