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

Constantly demands that you subscribe when you already have a subscription. Your active login hidden as “id.condenast.com”. I don’t expect to do forensic programming every time I click on an item on a third party site. A real pain and CN should do better.

You have your users screaming at you for years about this app’s incredibly poor sign-in experience, and constant sign-outs. Your solution so far is to have some firm respond to reviews like you’re just hearing about it and an email to support will clear things up. It won’t, you need to actually make a decent app.

This app, while beautiful, logs me out every single time I open it. ‘Subscriber? Please log in!’ Girl, I never logged out and opened you on Monday and logged in, for the thousandth time. I’ve had the NYTimes app for ten years and it’s never once forced me to log in again. This app it’s literally every single week. I gave up and cancelled my subscription. If yall figure this out, please let me know and I’ll return.
