NOT the magazine – National Geographic Review

Finally got around to catching up on my last 7 months of nat geo, opened the app, and surprise! Had to come here to look at reviews to see what happened. If it was just a matter of no offline access and no downloads it could be forgiven, but the articles / contents of the app are not ALL the ones that are in the magazine, maybe around 60%. Why? Makes no sense. Luckily, by logging into the nat geo website I can get the archived issues, which DO have all the original content. But then I’m awkwardly scrolling through a website not optimized for tablets. So why have an app at all? Just call it “nat geo light” or “nat geo highlights” or something. Used to be the best magazine app too, which is a shame.
