The Atlantic Magazine Reviews

Impossible to access for subscribers

Roachcoach77

Theoretically great... if you could actually get to the content you’ve paid for. Figure it out.

Brilliant articles held hostage

By garbage technology that prevents subscribers from reading articles.

Worthless if offline

Captlonestar

Can’t read downloaded magazines offline. Very inconvenient considering this is how I use the app the most. It’s been awhile since this new app was made. I’m surprised this hasn’t been fixed yet. If this ever gets fixed will update rating

App no longer works on iPad 2 & Earlier

Open the Atlantic Mag today 10-04-2017 and you will receive "Update Required " message. You can't open the app ever again. Check your software under Settings - General - Software Update, and you will have the latest version of 9.35 on your iPad 2. Call into Atlantic Mag Customer Service, get transferred twice, and they will tell you that you must have IOS 10. This is the 1st time I that was effectively told me that I must buy a new IPad to continue accessing my paid subscription. Terrible way to treat a long time customer subscriber.

Love the magazine, don't love the app

Update: since the iOS update it’s no longer possible to log into the Atlantic app as a subscriber. You just get a blank screen. What’s the point of subscribing. I don’t want to read the paper magazine only! Fabulous magazine, great content. App has some pain points. First, I periodically and mysteriously get logged out of the app and logging back in is a huge hassle. Be great if I could just stay logged in. Second, if I flip the screen all the text gets smushed together and weird, and the only way to fix it is to completely shut down the app (not just close, but force quit). Third, if I close my iPad or power off with the app open, the text gets all wonky and the app has to be force quit to reset.

No no no

This is almost there, id just like to not ha e to try to relink my account over and over. Also loved that you used to predownload articles, flip to airplane mode and still read. The latest UI overhaul caused major login issues. Latest smaller update didn't fix any issues linking to my Atlantic subscription.

Still not there

Still asking me for login details. Even though I have a print subscription that I have linked to the app, there appears to be no option to select appropriately. I didn’t buy via iTunes; I am a print subscriber BUT I have used the app before. In any case, selecting this option takes me to a blank screen. Infuriating. Meanwhile, the Atlantic sends me ludicrously early reminders to renew my subscription, which doesn’t expire for another year at least. How hard can it be to fix this?

Why did you destroy a good thing?

I opened my app, and got a screen msg telling me to update my app. I went to do just that and there is no update to be had. I preferred reading the magazine through my app, and accessing the articles there as well, as opposed to the website. Fix this, or risk losing a subscriber. My impression of the magazine business is that paid subscribers are a valuable commodity. Pay attention to them. There are enough bad reviews here to learn from.

App doesn't work

chriscrans

Keeps telling me I need to update the app at the Apple Store. There is no update. So instead... A black screen

Update works only on IOS 10

Coripe

If you own an iPad three years or more old, it doesn't upgrade to 10, so no more access to The Atlantic. You just lost a big audience.
