I am a digital and print subscriber. They send me emails about interesting articles that I start to read. Then they say I have to subscribe to keep reading. I try to sign in. But they won’t let me. Often I can find the article on the app. But sometimes not—like the old article they sent me this evening on the engineering of Citicorp Center. I gave them one star. Only because I can’t give them zero stars. Really really really terrible.
Starting w 9/11/23 text size, accessing bookmarks, saving stories, a complete table if contents, and many other options have been removed. Opening an edition and downloading more time-consuming. Thanks New Yorker for shoving this down our throat with zero notice.
No dark mode, no pdf articles, articles out of order compared to print version. App is pretty bad, even though the magazine is fantastic
Great writing but no way to narrow searches to audio articles, the audio tab only has a few handfuls of recent audio articles.
I have paid $240 against my knowledge for a subscription I never used. When it auto renewed and I noticed on my credit card I reached out immediately to cancel. They refused to cancel even though I reached out immediately. They take your money and run. As a long time lover of New Yorker , I’m forever appalled at this punitive behavior.
I am a longtime print subscriber. I almost never use the digital app because there is not an option to toggle to dark mode. I would like to use the app but the glaring white is uncomfortable to experience. Dark mode should be a basic settings option.
Simply having the app open in the foreground burns through battery so quickly that the back of my phone becomes uncomfortably warm. Logging into the app for the first time is still buggy and clearly has been for months based on other reviews. It’s a real shame, I would love to use the app to save my place while reading but right now the app is unusable.
I used to be able to enjoy the New Yorker on my iPhone but now it overheats so quickly as soon as I open the app that it’s unusable. I have an iPhone 11; I don’t have this issue with any other app. I wrote New Yorker customer support about the issue - no reply.
I just want to be able to read you at night in my bed without a white hot sun light shining into my eyes. Give us dark mode!
Please consider adding dark mode.
