Why subscribe?

The app continually asks for login and after I sign in, I still can’t access articles. My parents subscribed to Natl Geo for years. I’m glad they never had this experience of subscribing to the app. Apparently I’m not the only one. So please make this work National Geographic! Update: I can’t click any links to other articles. I can’t stay signed in on the website or the app. I want my money back.
When can I view offline again?

Since the entire purpose of the app for 95% of users is offline viewing, when will it be restored? If never, please be honest and say that offline viewing will not be restored. Awaiting a real update from NG for more than a year. Bob
Was an awesome app, but now just a website.

The previous app was exactly like reading the print magazine and it could be downloaded to read when internet access is not available, such as when traveling. Now if you want to read the magazine while traveling you have to lug all the printed issues in your luggage, or more likely ready something other than national geographic. It used to be incredible to have the national geographic library stored in my ipad just like the print version. So sad this was taken away from their loyal subscribers. Huge step backwards!! Please bring the old app back!!
Offline reading

Killing the possibility of downloading each issue and reading It any time offline has ruined your app. The idea of having your magazine on a device instead of carrying the paper issue which can be read any time and not depending on having wifi available was WhatsApp made It attractive Please restore the offline reading or I will unsuscribe Jorge
G’Bye Nat Geo

I echo the majority of the (negative) comments here regarding the loss of off-line reading and deletion of past, downloaded magazine subscriptions. Given these concerns remain unaddressed, I will not renew my (20+ year) subscription.
How Can You Mess Up SOOOO Bad!

For a organization the travels the world, changing the app to only work online and not have download for the magazines, shows a group of people who clearly don’t travel, which makes you wonder what the future of National Geographic is. Many people who read National Geographic....actually travel. What a concept. When we are in airplanes, on boats, off roading, mountain climbing, relaxing on the beach, THERE IS NO INTERNET! I used to carry the physical copies before tablets and mobile phones, but now use a tablet to read and keep the physical magazine in a cover to go along with my collection that dates back to 1904. Seriously considering the future of National Geo if they don’t understand travelers and their readers.
Useless junk

Without offline reading capability and real magazine look this app is totally useless.
Unusable

This was my favorite print to digital app. I loved downloading a full issue and reading it on my iPad while offline traveling. It felt just like reading the magazine. Now the user experience is horrible, you can no longer download for offline (which is the whole point for me) and you can’t scroll an issue at large. I never write reviews but this is too disappointing to go unwritten.

I’d like to see offline-reading and dark mode added to this app. That would be great! Thank you for your dedication
