User Reviews

Reviews frequently praise The New Yorker’s content and the app’s polished reading experience, but are dominated by access and reliability problems. The most cited issues are repeated login/subscription recognition failures that require re-signing in; inconsistent playback and glitches in the audio feature (including limited speed options and AI narrators); stability problems like endless loading or being unable to load stories after updates; friction with Conde Nast SSO sign-on; and difficulties canceling or managing subscriptions. Overall, the content is valued, but the app’s sign-in, audio, and reliability flaws frustrate long-term use.
Pros
  • Polished reading experience with a beautiful interface
  • High-quality magazine content and trusted brand
  • Audio feature is a valued part of the experience (when it works)
Cons
  • Frequent login/sign-in/out issues and subscription recognition problems requiring re-signing in
  • Audio playback issues and AI narration quality limitations (including limited speed options and some articles not playing)
  • Stability problems: endless loading or failure to load latest stories after updates
  • Conde Nast SSO sign-on friction preventing access to content
  • Difficulties canceling or managing subscriptions

Very frustrating app. Constantly asking you to sign in again, which you can’t do if offline ie on subway. Constantly updating and won’t work if you’re off-line. Every other magazine app works better than this one. Very much dislike the idiotic jumping graphics which interrupt attempting to read an article.

The app is insultingly bad. I constantly get stuck in a loop of being prompted to log in and then it not recognizing that I have a valid subscription. I’ve contacted support before, they apologize, it works for a bit, and then the process starts again. I love the New Yorker, but this is ridiculous. Either use the desktop site or just cancel your subscription entirely, because the app is basically a non-option at this point.
