Embarrassingly Poor User Experience – NYer Print Edition Review

I’ve given up on using this app and retried it several times, but it still is so tedious to use. Here are a few of my main complaints. - It crashes regularly, sometimes requiring a reinstall, and reentry of the login information. - Ads are not only placed both on the side and inline, but also disrupt the reading experience. Whenever an ad refreshes, the screen goes blank for about a second, and the content is moved around. As the reader, I lose my place in the article, have to visually search for it again, and often have to scroll up or down. - Scrolling is affected by ads as well. After placing the first line of text after an ad at the top of the display, the ad placement is readjusted, and covers the first few lines that I just was about to read. As others pointed out, this is not about the content, but the user experience. While I enjoy reading other magazines on the iPad, for this one it’s back to the print version.
