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

I used to like this app a lot, but I’m no longer able to sign in. This isn’t user error. I assumed it was actually a bug that someone would get around to eventually, but the automated Condé Nast sign in link genuinely doesn’t work, so… I’ll just have to delete the app. And potentially reconsider my subscription, since I can’t access this content on the go.

Recently the app started crashing any time I try to open one of the “classic” articles I’ve saved.
