Features:
• Get a daily blend of in-depth reporting, political commentary, cultural criticism, and humor from the website.
• Read each week’s magazine and browse past issues.
• Receive alerts on breaking-news coverage by your favorite New Yorker writers and notifications about major pieces in the magazine.

• Access The New Yorker Sticker Pack: download the app, add the extension to iMessage, and liven up your texts with Christoph Niemann’s signature drawings and animations of city life

The app is free to download. Subscribers receive unlimited access. Non-subscribers may access a limited number of articles each month. Most current New Yorker subscribers have unlimited access to the app as part of their existing subscription. Subscribers with a print-only subscription may not have unlimited access. Users who have trouble accessing unlimited stories, or who wish to upgrade their access level may call Customer Service at 1-800-967-2082. All users have unlimited access to the Cartoon Randomizer, which does not count toward the article limit for non-subscribers. All users have unlimited access to the Sticker Pack, which is free to download and requires iOS 10 or above. A subscription costs $8.99 a month or $89.99 annually, and includes a 30-day free trial, after which it will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period and will state the cost of renewal. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user’s account settings after purchase. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable. Payment will be charged to iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.
The New Yorker Today app requires iOS 9 or above.

Why isn’t it possible to have more starred/faves articles?
Is this a storage problem? Why is the number of tagged articles limited so the older ones drop off the list... ? What a pain

Constantly refreshes and loses reading position
What is the point of being a publication whose selling point is your long-form articles, and then creating an app which constantly loses the reader’s position in the name of loading an issue which should already have been loaded and resident in local storage? It’s absolutely infuriating, and I have to wonder how much the app’s developers use their own product, for them to deliver such a usability nightmare.
It’s not enough for the app to remember which article one was reading, which is hardly any great achievement; it should also remember the exact location where one left off, as so many other similar iOS already do.

It is the little things that truly count...
... for example where the crossword forces the app to branch out to a safari browser page where - as notified by the ever so earnestly unhelpful New Yorker telephone support - you have a license for ‘app only’ and such stuff will not work - despite it clearly being ‘in’ the app when you select it .... of course I was told, as if I were a small child, that I would have to speak to Apple ...

Love the articles, the app does not work.
Navigation is poor, the audio articles do not work, it’s all a real struggle.

Want to leave 5 stars
This has many great features but for me is let down by a disorientating lack of navigation, on the website I can look at articles by books, culture, news etc but here it’s not possible to do so and this becomes quite frustrating

Unreliable
App crashes very frequently. I have lost bookmarks twice and got no answer from customer service when I asked if I could retrieve them. Unreliable.

Brilliant content, finally in a great app (and up to date) format
It’s the New Yorker, so some of the finest journalism around, but the main magazine reader app (not this app) was so bad, I was forced to browse the website and load up Instapaper with articles, so I could read the magazine bookmarked, or offline.
NyerToday seems to have slowly but surely replaced the original app - which I couldn’t be happier about - it started with a nice curation of recent articles, has good typography, full screen display, bookmarking and maintains page/scroll status.
Unlike the other official app, this is kept up to date (e.g iPhone X compatible soon after X launch).
And now it has the magazine archive!

Stylish and simple to use
A stylish app that works well for what it does (access to top stories, cartoons and bookmarks). Bookmarks work offline which is a nice touch. You can't access the full content of the website through the app but there is a browser version that works perfectly well.

Appalling technical support
I cannot describe how angry I am about the long-running & continuing failure to iron out technical deficiencies in the New Yorker's iPhone app.
Staff are technically ill-informed and patronising.
Do the editors understand the resulting damage to the magazine's reputation?

Excellent way to read the New Yorker
Despite initial difficulties in linking subscriptions this is an excellent app offering a good reader experience to the magazine content. The cartoon link is very welcome.

Great way to consume The New Yorker
Only gripe is that there aren't enough available bookmark spaces even after getting a subscription. An archive would also help this app get 5 stars

iPad
Seriously, in this day and age with Storyboards you couldn't make an iPad version at launch?
