Worst app in America

It doesn't allow you to reset the password. They send you an email that says reset password and directs to a site that doesn't allow you to reset password. It asks you for your account email and then tells you that email is already in use. Unbelievable.
What a Shame!

I should have read the reviews before subscribing to the Atlantic online app. After multiple tries, I am unable to finish my first article - the app keeps freezing or won't allow me to scroll as I read. I would like to cancel my subscription.
Can't log in

Keeps redirecting me to "awaiting email verification" page even after I've clicked the link in my email multiple times
Just keeps getting worse

Despite accepting login info the app keeps some articles locked. I encounter no such restrictions when accessing the current issue from a laptop web browser. Unfortunately iPad browsers can't access the current issue directly. What exactly is the supposed benefit of this worthless app?
Great magazine, lousy app

App keeps crashing or hanging. Always wants to charge me $6.95 to download an issue even though I'm a print subscriber. But it does let me read the fabulous stories, including online-only content. Until it crashes.
Worst magazine app

How could it be worse! It makes it impossible to sign in, jumps around, won't stay where you want it. Love the magazine. Hate the app.
Really the absolute worst app I have ever used

Difficult to search. When reading an article and accidentally swipe left or right when scrolling, the screen shifts to the cover of the article and you have to scroll through it to get back to the place you were reading. And btw when you are trying to scroll quickly there is a good chance you will swipe left or right again and have to start over. This failing is in addition to the problem that one cannot save the place where they stopped reading and have to scroll through the article to find it. Don't accidentally swipe left or right! I've been a subscriber for 15 years to the magazine. I travel a lot. It would be nice to be able to read my favorite mag without INCREDIBLE frustration. With all the intellect, couldn't you hire a few decent app developers!?!?!
Needs a lot of work

The app does not remember the last page viewed or have bookmarks. The app jumps to random locations in an article sometimes when you try to highlight text. Articles you mark as favorites have advertisements at the bottom of the page. This is my experience just in the last hour of downloading the app. I don't expect much. Recommendation: Fire your programmers and buy rock solid software that is tested thoroughly.
Unacceptably bug-ridden and not being fixed
GottaTellYa
The developers of this app show a continuing contempt for The Atlantic's paying subscribers, refusing to fix this literally unusable collection of poorly designed features that are made so much worse by its outright bugs, no search function, repeating "Sign In" pop-ups that interrupt the reader, hangs, and crashes. Someone should be fired and replaced.
