I hardly ever leave reviews, and I love SN. But the reading experience in this app is the worst of any magazine or news app I've tried. Basically one picture of the magazine page. Reading on this is a chore, and impossible on a small screen. Some simple text and page flips would be great. It's really hard to find any motivation to open SN in this app since the read experience is the opposite of enjoyable. It is miserable.

I've been a subscriber for 10 years or so. The app was functional but minimal e.g., no means to bookmark where you left off, etc. Around Sept 2023 the app changed (why??) and is now almost useless. I can get the "readable" view ok but when I select an article to read on my Android tablet or phone I can't get back to the table of contents view. The Web site version is still functional. It is now impossible to read this magazine as a relaxing activity. Renewal time for me. I am, sadly, undecided.

The magazine is great, and has been for a zillion years. The Android app is not so great. It does a fine job of presenting a faithful image of the print magazine so you can read it, and it might be fine on a large tablet, but it offers only a few affordances for reading articles on a phone. Its browser view would benefit from some browser features such as an indication of which articles have been read and less-clumsy navigation.
