Getting worse with every update – NYer Print Edition Review

[Update 12 March 2018] The race to become The.Worst.App.Ever continues and the latest update brings The New Yorker app so much closer to the winning spot. Now all issues that I download, including the latest one, are automatically deleted the moment I close my iPad. An absolute and utter garbage. I don’t think there has ever existed a greater gap between the quality of the content and the abysmal method of its delivery. [Update 30 Sept. 2014] Is anybody reading these comments? This app is still awful - new issues take forever to download, no automatic download in the background, random crashes. This app is an example of the perfect parasite - leeching off a superior product, confident in the knowledge that its users will continue paying for it, no matter how bad the delivery method. I have just cancelled my subscription to The New Yorker. The reason - this hideous app. Even on my brand new iPad Air the app is so slow and buggy as to be almost unusable. I have been back and forth with the (laughably incompetent) "technical support", but nothing helps. I love TNY and will re-subscribe to the paper edition, but I advise not to buy a subscription for the electronic version only - you may be very disappointed.
