NYer Print Edition Reviews

Great magazine of course and great app

ms747

There is no need, I think, to review the magazine. It is and has always been great. I’m am reviewing the app. It’s great, works perfectly. The only thing. I would wish is that eventually the app implements Apple’s dark mode that will make night time reading easier on these old eyes.

The magazine of magazines.

The New Yorker appears in our mailbox every Wednesday or Thursday, never soon enough. If I could read every article and story, I would be a fully educated man. I do read two or four each week, and all the cartoons, and I always feel a happy freshman. Thank you for the youth of my mind, New Yorker!

Where is the digital replica?

After mistakenly posting on the New Yorker Today app, I repeat, basically, my same complaint...I miss the online replica of the magazine. I like reading the ads and seeing the placement of the cartoons and drawings. Please put it back.

Updated app no good

Doesn’t remember where you left off in an article if you swipe to another article. Audio recording is cool, but the actual reading experience needs a lot of work.

New Yorker app

Love the quick downloadIng and archive capabilities. The presentation re-creates and in some ways enhances the printed version experience. However, I find frustrating that the newer app doesn’t bookmark and return me to where I left off on an article. If I accidentally swipe to the next or previous article, I am automatically sent to the start of the article I was reading when I return to it within seconds.

App for iPad is a failure

No Table of Contents Page with credits, etc. and NO DATES of event listings. Totally unacceptable!

The New Yorker Lifeline

I read my New Yorker magazine in 1984, when I found myself bumped to first class in a New York to Stockholm flight. The magazine was in the reading rack and I devoured an article about counting bats species in Mexico. A regular subscriber since then, I rely on this magazine for brilliant, colorful and meaningful writing across a wide swath of subject matter. Thank you, thank you. Elaine LeVasseur, Santa Barbara

Lodestar

No matter what your interests and inclinations—politics, other sports, food, fiction, literature or literature’s children, legitimate (theater) or bastard (cinema)—The New Yorker will, by turns, delight, inform, frighten and soothe you. The cartoons alone could serve as a cultural history of our times, as crisp and as fascinating as the excavations at Pompeii. It is, for me, the one absolutely essential source of worth, mirth, and rebirth. It is the lodestar by which I navigate this beautiful and thrilling, but insane voyage we fall “life.”

Literacy Recharge

Thanks to The New Yorker for nurturing critical thinking in these troubled times. How do we lead the nation to the reassurance of factual information, provided by serious writers presenting the truth?

A giant leap backward

I am a fan of The New Yorker and have had digital and print access for a long time. The revised application performs poorly on both my iPads, its scrolling is sluggish, as is navigation in general, and it’s not unusual for the app to crash. Currently if I attempt to download the latest issue it will go unresponsive for ~15 seconds then crash — reliably. There are many other niggling design issues but overall it’s a bad experience. I love the content (when I can access it) but the app experience is awful.
