Redesign needs a redesign. I’ll echo what some other people have said about the redesign... it really reduced the information density and makes it hard to browse quickly and easily. I’ll leave it to UI theorists to delve into the why of it, but let’s just say they should have paid some folks to take a look at that, or at least offer some settings to rectify the issue. App has always been a little barebones and feature-free, but this took most of the utility out of it for me. I don’t have time to scroll through full-page pictures of Trump when what I really want to do is read stories. Unsubscribed from the magazine and uninstalling the app.

Excellent. The Atlantic it always is an excellent publication the only publication is once again Apple promises it with Apple plus news yet that’s a lie Apple seems to Lie a lot these days.I have Apple News+ and I’m supposed to get the Atlantic well I guess a couple articles that’s not exactly getting the Atlantic to me and Apple has no right to advertise that way it’s simply an advertisement this is useless subscribe to the Atlantic and that stinks Apple stinks there’s scam artists of the worst type people are getting wise that kind of behavior on the part of Apple.

Great Simple Format. I LOVE the format of the app; it’s so easy to read and not as overwhelming as a typical news website. Only suggestion I have is adding a section of your audm articles, as well as clearly labeling each article on the front end (before you click it to read it) if it has an audio option. The New Yorker has started doing something similar and I love that I can see which are audio. Sometimes I really prefer the audio ones over reading them and it’s much easier to navigate if they’re labeled more prominently and given their own section.

New redesign stopes me from reading. I used to read articles with the app every day. Since the redesign of the app I stopped reading the Atlantic articles. Today when paying my credit card bill I noticed a charge from apple store and I did not remember buying anything today. I checked the record and it was Atlantic subscription. I did not open the app in months. I open the app to see if anything changed. The design is not for me. I will read in the browser but I am afraid that I will drop the subscription since I am not reading articles.

Great experience. I almost didn’t download this app after becoming a subscriber because I assumed I would continue to read most articles on my laptop. I was wrong! I really enjoy the experience of using this app. The design is excellent and the Today screen always presents something I’m interested in, while the limit to 5 main stories keeps it from being overwhelming like most other news/media apps are. (You can of course access all stories elsewhere in the app.) To my own surprise, I’ve become a near daily user and recommend this app as the most pleasant way to access Atlantic articles.

The Adult in American Political and Social Thought. Journalism that is more valuable than ever — a go to source for anyone who believes a well-informed, critically thinking citizenry of independent thought is still essential for a flourishing society. Digitally, The Atlantic is both pulse and perspective on the relevant issues of importance with content that is digestible and accessible. (I really like the internal links to other articles, as well as other sites.) The magazine is the place for big ideas and emerging issues with writing that is thought provoking, trustworthy, and typically fascinating. Liberal bias? They are so far above any such labeling with some of the best minds in a diverse cross section of experience and sensibilities, and content that is a worthy addition to knowledge.

Love the Atlantic, not the app. Maybe it is user error and I just haven’t figured it out, but I find it very frustrating that there is not a search feature WITHIN the app. Often I want to look for a specific subject or article. Even when I click links within the app to other Atlantic articles, it send me to the web browser version, where I have to log in again. It is annoying to be taken out of the app to read articles in a browser.

HATE this app (but I love the Atlantic). I am frustrated to the point of blindness with the way your app responds when the user accidentally touches one of the ads with the giant hit box. It takes me away from the article I’m reading to look **again** at another Audi ad (which holds a bitter irony for me as I will never in my lifetime be able to afford an Audi). Adding insult to class-warfare injury, I return to the article I was reading only to learn that I have to scroll through 2/3s of it to get back to where I was because the article goes back to the beginning. I love the Atlantic. I ***hate*** this app. Other news sites have the same accidental ad touching thing but I can always return to where I was in the thing I was reading. I know this can be programmed in. I am tempted to tell Audi that even if I got a massive windfall I would never buy an Audi because the way this app works angers me so much and it’s always an Audi ad. So I blame them. Actually I blame you, but I blame them as well. Please for the love of the gods fix this.

Okay app - but could be great. I am a long time subscriber to The Atlantic. I still get the print magazine but honestly do most of my Atlantic reading electronically. I was really excited when I first got the app, but have only been frustrated since. First, it is the most unintuitive app I think I have used in a long time. Having to dig 3 to 4 steps down to even find the magazine edition. It shouldn’t be an expedition to find the most recent magazine. I understand having the feed to read popular articles, but the joy of The Atlantic is “paging” through the magazine to read different articles that I wouldn’t typically click on in a news feed. Second, SEARCH. How can there not be a search function??? Search is one of the most useful reasons to read newspapers and magazines in electronic format. Please, please, please add search function. Third, Font Size. I can’t be alone in the demographics of The Atlantic subscribers in needing glasses or larger fonts to read comfortably. This is probably the second biggest reason to read content electronically instead of the print version. Please add the ability to adjust the size of the font. I still enjoy The Atlantic and think it is one of the best sources for in depth analysis of current events and culture. However, until these issues are addressed I will probably continue to link to The Atlantic on the internet instead of through the app.

Great publication marred by a low quality native app. Upon opening the app for the first time, I’m treated to a blank “Today” tab. No prompt to log in, no onboarding guidance, just a blank screen. Not a strong start. There is no direct and obvious nav link to “Account” which is an unforgivable omission considering this is a paid subscription publication. There’s no “search” function which is —come on— the bare minimum in functionality. This app is so poorly designed it makes me wonder if there was even a product design team involved at all. Delivering competent media experiences via native mobile is a solved problem. To not even copy-paste best practices from some of the other publications out there that do this much better (NYT or The New Yorker, for example) seems like just wanton neglect. The “old print publication that doesn’t get digital media” trope is just so cliche in this day and age. Be better.

Subscriber for 40 years!. For 36 years, I received the Atlantic paper magazine. My Grandmother had been James Fallows’ fifth grade teacher. She loved him so much, she bought an Atlantic subscription for me as a college undergrad. She paid for the renewal each Christmas until her death in 2013. The Atlantic has been my constant companion. I read each issue cover to cover. Amazing journalism, fiction, poetry, and humor. For the last 4 years, I’ve been an app subscriber and I’m pleased to say the Atlantic is getting even better. The writers are amazing. I subscribe to the emails and they alert me to things I might want to read. What led me to review today, was that I just finished the list of articles recommended by Tom Nichols about the war in Ukraine. They dramatically raised my understanding of the situation. Outstanding! I love the app, but have one small problem with it. I would love to see a search bar visible on the opening page of the app. I’m often searching for certain authors or want to easily access the article that I’ve been alerted to. There may be an easy way to search, but I haven’t found it. Keep up the good work!

The Atlantic App. I’m a recent subscriber to The Atlantic — I had no idea of the high-quality writing and thoughtfulness of the reporters and editors — I have been so impressed, educated, and inspired. The Atlantic App has been the best part of the experience! I thought I was getting a monthly publication, but through the App, I am daily receiving a deeper understanding and reflection on my world — and the App presents it in such a personal way! The Atlantic and its App may be the most important action I have taken for my citizenship and ability to understand a complex and (hopefully) changing world. Thank you!

App is unreliable. I am a digital subscriber to the Atlantic. I am here reviewing the Atlantic mobile app, not the content of the magazine. The app is generally serviceable enough, with one big exception. I regularly encounter — generally meaning at least twice a week — the following problem. I open the app, tap on a story, and am immediately confronted by a screen inviting me to subscribe to the Atlantic, with subscription prices in large type. To read the story, I must sign in to the app. Needless to say this is highly inconvenient, especially since one of the benefits of having apps on a mobile device is supposed to be not having to sign in all the time. I have not experienced this problem with any other app for a publication or news site. In this respect, the Atlantic is unique.

Amazing app, needs search. The app itself is beautiful. Reading stories on it is a breeze. And the stories are so consistently high quality; I subscribe to the New York Times, Washington Post, New Yorker, and more and the only rival to the Atlantic is the New Yorker — but I think the Atlantic beats it out for sheer quality. But I need to be able to search for stories, and I need to be able to access a story in my web browser that then lets me open it in the app. Right now it’s just a pretty place to browse the current popular stories. It could be so much more.

Suggesting a Section for Projects. If you’ve searched for The Atlantic on the App Store, you’re aware of the high-level journalism published by the outlet. I’m proud to say that The Atlantic is the only magazine that I’ve (consistently) subscribed to for the last 7 years. And the iOS app befits its standard: clean, straightforward, and neatly organized. The one suggestion I would like to offer is the addition of Projects. The app’s “Sections” tab is nearly identical to the full website, with the exception of Projects. There are no doubt technical reasons for its omission that far exceed my level of understanding. However, The Atlantic’s Projects have long been a favorite feature. 2020’s Shadowland is particularly wonderful. In-app access to the Projects would be a fantastic addition, and I hope to see it in a future update.

Ever Timely-Always Relevant. The Atlantic has not missed step— from a physical magazine to internet power house of news and ideas. There are many magazines that have come and gone over the years. However, this journal of ideas and news comes across as fresh and provocative. The rise of muckraking in the 19th century has an equivalent in the 21st century— The Atlantic is both a physical journal and an internet powerhouse that cuts through false news and fuzzy ideas of rumor and salacious lies. Bravo!

Returning Subscriber. I was a subscriber through Google to which I could only get the magazine on the google news app which I thought was ridiculous. Switching over to the iPhone XR I downloaded the Atlantic and subscribed again. I don’t know what everyone is complaining about, the new layout is beautiful. I like the today section plus I get to hear the articles through the SoundCloud link that’s been put up on some articles. The dark mode is perfect. I let go of the New York Times because they hadn’t gone to dark mode yet. It’s just too bright. LA Times has and they have a great layout as well. Anyways great job Atlantic. You’re the app is great and you’ve got a subscriber for life.

An important magazine for our times. I have found from reading articles in the Atlantic and other similar publications that The Atlantic is by far doing the best work and making the greatest contributions to our understanding of these unbelievable times. The level of journalistic quality is incredibly high. That's why I subscribed. I continue to look to The Atlantic for the facts. For truth. And for intelligent analysis that acts as a critically important guide to how to think and act in the current unprecedented atmosphere.

No search function. The Atlantic is a great magazine, but their app is completely useless without a search function. You’ll come across an article on the web, and it will offer to move you to the app, which is typically a better reading experience. But then it takes you to the app—not the article—and there’s no way to *find * the article because, as many others here have noted, there is no search function. Absolutely baffling hole that makes the app useless. And for the record, I am a logged-in subscriber.

Great content, app could be improved. I highly enjoy the articles. The app is okay, but has some annoyances. 1) Sometimes when I open an article, it starts scrolled down about one page (iPhone 13 Pro, IOS 15), so I have to scroll up to the top to start reading. 2) On slow connections (2 bars), most of the text loads pretty quickly, but the first picture and chunk of text under the picture load together and can take 30 seconds or more, so I end up reading starting on paragraph two. Can you please load all the text first, then the images?

App needs improvement. I love the Atlantic but the app is frustrating. I had a notification for a story that I thought interesting, so I clicked on it and read about halfway through, then was interrupted. When I reopened the app, I was on the homepage, not the article I was halfway through. I searched for a search button - nope. I looked on the homepage, but that offers only 5 Reader Favorites. I looked in Sections, but didn’t know what section my article was in. I went to my browser and eventually was able to find it (it’s in How to Build a Life, which I couldn’t find in the app). I read several other magazines and newspapers through apps - The Atlantic should check out The New Yorker’s and The New York Times for improving functionality.

How is it possible there isn’t a search function?. I subscribe to both print and digital because I absolutely love the work the Atlantic produces, and downloaded the app so that I could continue or finish stories on the go that I started in the magazine or learned about from social media, but there is no search function and it’s basically impossible to find stories, especially if they are a bit older or don’t obviously fit into one category. How is it possible there is no search?? Please please please add a basic search function!

Where’s the search function?. The Atlantic consistently contains excellent journalism; I still subscribe to the paper magazine. But the new(ish) app is much less functional than the old one: there’s no search function! I can’t find the last article by Graeme Wood: it’s down the memory hole. I end up logging in through my browser—the web design is great, and much more accessible. Both the iPad and iPhone apps have way too much blank space, and I hate the big “Good morning!/afternoon!/evening!”opening page. Just show me the top stories (with authors’ names, please!), and I’ll get reading. I don’t like the huge numbers and pictures that squeeze out the blurbs.

Great content; annoying app. This is not a review of the content contained in the app, which is high quality. But the app itself is my least favorite news or media app that I regularly use. It logs you out periodically, so you have to theologian back in. At least the app has a search function now, even though it isn’t particularly useful (the top three results from a “Caitlin Flanagan” search are from 2018, 2008, and 2012). This is content you have to pay for, and the Atlantic should do better.

Useless app from an amazing publisher.. This is perhaps one of the worst media apps I have ever used. There is no search feature. There is no way to move something from Safari to the app (like I can with NYT). There is no easy way to open an article linked on Facebook. The only reason I am giving it three stars instead of one is the app is quite beautiful and easy on the eyes. I also love the integration of Audm audio for some of the articles; it’s an amazing feature. But the rest of usability is just simply not there.

Is this app intentionally frustrating?. We’re on the App Store, not a journalism review forum so I won’t go into the Atlantic as a publication. Undeniably, they do world class journalism. The app on the other hand? It’s had several glaring annoyances for so long it’s starting to seem intentional: 1) Most notably - no search (or impossible to find). At this point it seems intentional. It’s baseline functionality that users have been requesting for a LONG time. Just read the reviews. I don’t always use the app to see what their algorithms thought I should read or to launch a lengthy expedition through their “Sections.” If I’m looking for an article or author it should take me seconds to find a list. I can’t fathom an argument against this feature 2) strangely strict curation. No way to build a feed off your favorite author or topic (don’t get me started on Sections) 3) Sharing. I am a longtime subscriber and have the app which is tied to my subscription. Same for several friends and family. Why would the Atlantic app share a story link which only opens in Safari…which usually hits me with the paywall??? I already subscribed. I already signed in. Send me to the freaking app you brag about in your digital subscription feature list!!!!!!!!! I truly hope someone responds and points out features I overlooked. Otherwise I may downgrade to print only. Why pay for digital access if the app is this frustrating?

Need a search function!. I am new to the Atlantic app but I immediately noticed there was no search function. This is frustrating if I see an article posted on FB for example and want to read later on the app. With no search function, I can’t find the article! Also, I noticed even when I am signed into my account on the browser it won’t let me save articles on my computer to later read in the app. I wish the design was more seamless between computer reading and app reading! But first and foremost please add a search function!

Love the redesign. So happy that the developers added dark mode support!! That was a feature I’ve long wanted so am really looking forward to reading more articles late at night in bed. The new art in the app is also beautiful and I like that the crossword is available to solve in mobile now. The today tab is a little confusing since it doesn’t clearly show what is an official article and what is just summarizing the latest news, but I’m guessing that will become more refined over time.

My kingdom for a search function!. [Reviewing the app, not the magazine. The mag gets 5/5] Where is the search function?? When I hear about an interesting article, I want to go the app and read it, not get lost trying to find it. I recently heard about Annie Lowrey’s article “Time Tax” and it really piqued my interest. But I can’t find it on the app. This is *deliciously ironic* because the gist of her article is that the federal government burdens Americans with pointless, time-wasting work when the government could easily solve the issues. I wasted too much time looking for her article when all I needed was a search function. What the heck?

Excellent. This magazine is full of excellent stories and incredible journalism. The UI is beautiful and clean. Anne Applebaum’s piece in the July 2020 issue is particularly fantastic. New stories daily in addition to magazine additions. I would like to suggest that they add a projects page so we can view things like Shadowland more easily. I would also make the much bigger request that they add the rest of the magazine additions into the app. They currently have available every issue of the Atlantic magazine going back to 2004. It would be an amazing luxury to have the entire backlog of the magazine available for reading.

Magazine awesome, app not so much. The good: excellent content, stable experience, ability to save pieces of interest. The bad: no search feature?!?! All you can do is scroll through the preselected areas. Saw an “Atlantic” headline elsewhere and want to find and read it on your app? Too bad, unless you want to browse through everything until you find it. If you find it. Perhaps the intent here was the create an experience more like thinning through the pages of the most recent issue, but for anything beyond that, just take yourself to the website!

Some serious design flaws. I absolutely love the magazine, but this app is seriously lacking a couple of features. First and foremost, there is no search function. Good luck finding many articles that are currently listed on the web site. And second, it is somewhat difficult to find an article you might see on the website and find it within one of the section categories. Often they are not listed. Who designed this? And, without a search. I have worked in IT for many years, designed and/or worked with designers, and this is just downright stupid. I reached out to support via chat and was told this is being corrected. It has been this way for at least a year or two. Bad, bad, bad.

No access offline with last update. With the update a few weeks ago, this app no longer supports offline saved articles. I reported it via the app website and received the reply “A new update for the app has temporarily suspended the option to view saved articles offline. This is temporary and will be returning with a future app update.” I travel frequently and do much of my reading in locations without internet access. “A future app update” is awfully vague. If this functionality isn’t returned soon, I’ll need to subscribe elsewhere.

Why is it so hard to use this app?. I love the Atlantic. If I tell you I‘ve been reading it since James Fallows was a rookie, a few of you may know how long that’s been. A long time. The Atlantic has successfully negotiated the transition to the internet when so many of its peers have stumbled. The magazine still offers top notch long form journalism and the past few years it has tried to resurrect its role as a venue for high quality fiction and poetry, too. The web site is a treasure trove of innovative commentary and news that complements “newspaper” sites. The politics, economics, and science reports are invaluable for me. The problem is the app. I recently tried to renew my subscription through it, but the app would have none of that. I had to cancel and resubscribe, I discovered after a long and particularly unenlightening exchange with customer service. These days the app just forgets my subscription information every few days and I have to go through a rigamarole to get it to allow me to see anything. Customer service says to delete the app and reinstall it. They point out that a will lose my list of saved articles when I do that. I’d say, “no problem, I only have a few articles on my saved list,” but how do I re-save them after I reinstall? There is no search feature to allow me to find them. My advice: read the Atlantic, but do it from the website!

Thanks. The Atlantic has been THE BEST resource during the COVID 19 pandemic For thoughtful pieces on the consequences of speech and actions by the powers that be, for great reporting on the risks of behavior and advice on how to deal with each phase of our reopening and for clear reporting of the facts, the data, of who is sick and investigation of why. It’s been a real haven from the craziness. My great thanks to the editors and writers for proving the need and importance of expertise, science and sense and for their intelligence in explaining all of these to the rest of us.

Redesign just so-so. The home page redesign just doesn’t cut it for me. Too much white space and relatively big images which leads to a lot of scrolling to figure out the content. A more concise design and at a glance overview would have been better. To me there was nothing wrong with the old home page design. I also would like a separate “dark mode on/off” setting within the app so that it is possible to set the mode independently of the general settings. I prefer to read black on white no matter what time of day but would like to keep the rest of my apps set to the general setting and not always switch back and forth.

Great content / layout, some interface functionality lacking. Content is great, I like the "today" section with a set of highlights as well as capacity to view by section, articles match the bold look of the print magazine. Also the crossword section is A+ and easy to find. App is generally good enough to justify a digital only subscription. Some UX issues that prompted me to leave a review: - Why is there not a search (or at the very least a "history" or "recently read") function??? I literally read an article yesterday, and when I tried to find it again today to share with a friend and was unable to do so. Very frustrating. - Needs better connection b/t app and browser links - it's strange that if i'm sent a story using a browser link, it will send me to the browser and tell me it's my last free article / time to subscribe, but won't give me any option to open the article in the app.

Love the Atlantic, so so about the app.... I'm an Atlantic subscriber who likes both the physical copy and to peruse current digitally and this app isn't the best experience. A few small improvements would go a very long way. First, it's hard to understand why the magazine is buried under "sections", it is not at all intuitive to find, but at least, once you know, you know. The second mind boggling aspect of the app is the lack of a search function. This makes it impossible to research topics, and very difficult to find articles, even current ones. Please add a search function, it's a consistent theme in reviews and a real problem for users.

Needs search function. I love The Atlantic, but this app needs an easily-accessible search function. I often click on articles in an email and have to read them in an internet browser because 1) I can’t search for the article in the app itself and 2) I can’t figure out a way to make the article open directly into the app. Either I’m missing something or the app needs more functionality. Otherwise, a good app with no bugs or crashes so far.

Terrific news app from The Atlantic. This is a very good app from The Atlantic. Everything is here: current news with reporting and editorials to help make sense of things plus access to the monthly magazine. Yes, it’s available through a subscription but in these trying times, supporting a news organization financially should be considered doing one’s civic duty. We need a free press more now than ever before and they need us to support them in their work. This is a great app from a great news organization and I am glad to support it.

So incredibly disappointing.. Though I've been a long time fan of the writing The Atlantic seems to be on a path to destroy what was once an extraordinary publication. I am a paying customer with a login to the digital publication. Not only do articles now contain multiple very large obtrusive blinking glaring block ads which are a complete disgrace to the publication, apparently instead of writing new content they republish the old. The republishing is less of a problem but to split an article into blocky segment separated by blocks of ads is so disruptive and disappointing. With the current format and blemish on this longtime publication I am no longer willing to pay to support them.

Worst search engine. A pretty app with quite possibly the internet's worst search engine. I was thrilled when I saw the app added a long overdue search function. But it's atrocious. Last night I tried to find the recent story on the Michigan lottery scam. Searching for "lottery" got me nowhere. I then found the article on Google, learning the title, but searches back in the Atlantic app for "30 million" and even "30 million lottery scam" did not turn up the article, even though those were exact match words for an article published 2 weeks ago. Just an all time fail. Please just put a Google search bar in the app somehow.

New format is easier to use and save the great articles.. I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the app because it often wouldn’t let me save articles (I have a subscription). That has just changed and I am happy. Many of their articles are long and I may not want to finish in one sitting. I really enjoy the magazine a lot. Be sure to sign up for their photography to be delivered to your inbox. They have themes and pictures are outstanding.

Does a good job curating content; good luck reading anything else. This app gives you a “good morning” feed and articles that are relevant to other things you’re reading. It is fine for a reader app. But it critically has no search function! And it also doesn’t interface with iOS such that you can send a link to it. So your friend shares a long form Atlantic article on Facebook or Slack, and you want to read it in this nice, distraction-free app you have and you…can’t. If it doesn’t happen to be in one of the curated feeds, good luck finding it. That I'm a subscriber to this publication and can’t read a specific article from this publication in the publication’s app is infuriating.

A terrible app, with extremely limited functionality. Love the writing in the Atlantic. So disappointed in this app, which appears to be limited to a small curated list of articles, and no ability to listen to them via the app, even when you can listen to the same article via the website. If The Atlantic wants to remain relevant, they need to serve their subscribers, who do much of their thoughtful “reading” on the go—driving to work, out exercising, etc. Why can’t I simply queue up a few articles to listen to when I’m commuting or exercising? Limiting the audio to when I’m on a computer or navigating the website on a tablet is pointless—I can actually just read the text then.

Great content, app needs serious rethinking. Great content needs no explanation. I like curated views, but in some ways it seems too curated because there’s absolutely no customization. I bought a subscription because I loved articles I stumbled online. However, now in the app, I’d like to find and bookmark said articles, but they are nowhere to be found. Found the year and month edition; found that edition in app, but apparently all articles from that edition aren’t in the app. There’s no search. Browsing by topic, just sends you through the same recent articles you see in other areas. Big push for newsletters. Who reads their personal newsletters anymore; we get enough email from work; personal emails are just for junk mail and password resets. Make newsletters/topics in the app. Let us choose our topics of interest feeds if we choose in addition to “today.”

Still no search function. When I first downloaded the Atlantic app, about a year ago, I genuinely thought there had been some mistake - there must be a search function, somewhere, but some bug had made it temporarily inaccessible. So I wrote to customer service and received the following response: Thank you for contacting The Atlantic, We know this is a critically important feature, and we’re working on it. We don’t have a timeline yet for when it will be ready, but we are eager to get it to customers. This feature is currently only available on the website. This, it turns out, was a direct and deliberate lie. The app developers have no intention of providing a search function. I have to assume this is because The Atlantic doesn’t WANT people subscribing to the publication via Apple’s app store; they want people to subscribe via their website where they can have better control of our money and private information. The good news is that, at my request, Apple kindly refunded the money I had paid for this surprisingly useless app.

Disappointed by the latest update. I’ve been a lover of this app for the last two years, especially because it is the only journalism app I know of that has no ads. Sadly, with this latest update and the addition of the crossword, ads are here. The ad-less app really made The Atlantic stand out compared to any other app of this kind and I’m disappointed to see ads on here now. I understand the need for ad revenue, but I will be going back to reading on safari with an ad blocker now. I hope you reconsider the addition of ads!

App is broken after update. I love The Atlantic, but the app leaves a bit to be desired. Currently, the app appears broken. Articles don’t load (“forbidden” error message) and nothing shows on the Today page. I’ve tried signing out and back in, deleting and reinstalling the app. No change. When the app does work, there is no padding so text runs right to the very edge of the screen. I’ll take that over nothing. Please fix!

Substantial step back. The extended abstracts take up unnecessary space, yet I have no real contention with the desires of the editorial staff for greater control over the immediate content. But removing any sort of search function? If I see a story in a social media feed, or have one recommended in person by a friend (people still talk, editors) it’s effectively impossible to find that story in the app. I am supposed to guess at the section, then scroll and scroll and scroll until I find it? What if I’d like to read a last article? Bookmarks shouldn’t be the only option. This needed field testing before the full release. I understand the challenge of Peter and Oliver’s call to “rethink everything about the way we present ourselves” but this was a poor showing. Rethink it again.

T. Great functionality. Unobtrusive advertising.

Excellent writing, app could be better. I love the journalism of The Atlantic. I don’t love the app as much though. It forgot that I’m a subscriber when my subscription renewed, and my access to articles stopped. Restoring purchases failed so I had to delete the app and reinstall. I’m told by customer support this could happen each time my subscription is renewed, so this seems to be a bug that should be fixed. I agree with other reviews about the wasted space on the Latest tab, and the bafflingly huge greeting graphic on the Today tab. I also don’t understand why there are blank ad containers taking up so much (any, in fact) space on the Latest tab between article headers. I’m happy to pay for quality journalism, and I think the app user experience should match the high level achieved by the writing.

Excellent. This is an excellent app.....almost too good to be true as a freebee. Interesting items delivered in an attractive and clear format. So good I have now subscribed to the hard copy version which I guess is their intention !!!! Mike. Sydney Aust

Crashes frequently and is slow. I'm using it in a brand new iPad Air so this is inexcusable.

A new old friend. Glad for this publication. Widens my horizon.

Can't wait for my subscription to expire.... ...so I can go back to the paper magazine. This app has never been that good... Right now it's just plain bust.

The only news I bother with. Such great writing.

Current update very buggy. I'm only writing this review because I can't read the Atlantic. With the new update I can read one screen's worth while my device labours to download whatever the banner across the bottom is, then everything locks up. Very frustrating.

Clunky app, great content. C'mon Atlantic, lift your game.

An enticing shop window. The Atlantic is the antidote for those who have become overcome with gloom about the current state of journalism. It presents variety, provocation, entertainment and intelligence.

Great content, APPALLING app. World's best writing packaged up in the worst possible app. S O S L O W. terrible nav, content takes forever to load... it's like your being punished for wanting to use the app. Take the hint and use their website instead.

App is ok, but content is fantastic. Yes, the app is not ultra sophisticated. But that's not the point. Consistently interesting and engaging articles

Good but no substitute for the real deal.. Probably intentional : being a business and whatnot.

Where is the search function?. High quality journalism but an app that leaves much to be desired. Most importantly where is the search function? I had to go to Google to find Caitlin Flanagan’s last piece. Why can’t I find it in the app? There is a comment from 10 months ago from a developer saying they are working on it. Please add that function.

Too buggy. Very disappointing from The Atlantic magazine. Great magazine, terrible app. Crashes constantly. Can't read any of my saved editions. Please fix quickly.

Clunky. Great journalism but unsophisticated app technology that relies too much on being ‘just like the magazine’.

Great content if you can put up with a poor app.. There is nothing wrong with the content. The Atlantic is insightful, interesting and very up to date. However the app itself is somewhat clumsy and sluggish in its design. I suspect less than adequate coding may be to blame.

Navigation.. Am I the only user to have great difficulty navigating this app without inadvertently clicking links I don't want and never being able to explore the full list of links?

What the..... Ever since the update last week this app is just a spinning wheel of frustration. In one week I have read once, only after uninstalling and reinstalling it again. Needs a fix

Pay-Up. Now demands payment for all articles. No thanks. You can read for free at Atlantic online.

Decent app and good journalism. App works nicely and isn’t overloaded with annoying features like some.

Looks amazing but where is the search function???. I don’t know if I’m blind but I cannot find a search article function for the life of me in this app. Please add one or make it easier to access!

Heavy use of ads even for subscribers. Have been an Atlantic digital subscriber for many years. I recently bought a tablet and, upon using it over The Atlantic, was appalled by its heavy use of ads. Makes reading a most unpleasant experience. I immediately deleted the app.

App forgets reading position. Like the vast majority of people (I would imagine) I flick in and out of apps. One really frustrating thing about this app is that it does not remember where I was up to or what I was reading. If I reopen the app an hour or two, it will just go back to its homepage. The New Yorker app is much better at this - I can reopen the app days later and it will go right back to where I left off.

Poor use of screen real estate.. Excellent journalism, but the app does a very poor job helping me find it. When I open the app, I see ‘Good afternoon’, an image, and not a single article until I scroll down further. Almost as if the app was designed exclusively for a nursing home and/or vision impaired audience. As I scroll, the entire screen real estate of my iPad is used to show just one article at a time. If I go to ‘Latest’, I am shown three articles at a time, with a huge amount of white space in between. This app makes it very time consuming to get a cross section of the latest journalism from The Atlantic. That’s a real shame. Another major frustration I have is that the app loses my place in an article and takes me back to the start if I rotate between portrait and landscape. This is a major annoyance on a long article where you find yourself trying to get back to where you were. Top quality journalism, but the app UI/UX needs an overhaul.

Nothing but trouble. Cannot buy the magazine as "purchases cannot be validated". This is too hard. Goodbye.

Keep crashing. Looking for a refund.

Very frustrating. The content is excellent but the app is appalling - it constantly become unresponsive on my iPad Pro running iOS 9. Very flaky software.

The app is good but could be better. I don’t know if there are any other ways to communicate with the app developers or not so I’m using this one. The quality of journalism in the Atlantic is absolutely superb yet the app has some areas for improvement. The feature I’d really like to see is the one the “Foreign Affairs” app has. When the article is a particularly long read, it often might take 2 or 3 sittings to fully finish it. I’d really like you to implement the feature that would reopen the app at the exactly same location on the page before I left it. The aforementioned app has it and I LOVE it and I’m sure many of your readers would agree with me! Thanks for your work!

Interesting articles, shame about the app. This app is downright painful to use - I'm constantly having to zoom and pan. Plus there are way too many ads. Dear Atlantic Staff: please see The Economist app for how a magazine app should work.

Still crashes. For about a year now, this app has crashed a few seconds after opening. Uninstall/delete/close, nothing helps.

The Atlantic App. Still useless as ever. When I log in, as an existing subscriber, I still regularly find only option is to buy latest issue...why can't you get yourselves organised like other online publications which never seem to have this problem...New edition is available .... Download... Read. How hard can it be?

Poor update. No multitasking despite having a great deal of time to implement this. Good content, poor app.

Comments section. Hi. I have had the pleasure of accessing the Atlantic Magazine app for a while now and it has generally been very good. Except - the last few days every article has the same "disqus" comments at the bottom that have nothing to do with the article I've just read. I don't know where else to complain about this so here we are. Other than that, a good app. Cheers.

Great content, app needs a refresh. The content from the Atlantic is great, once you subscribe you can download back issues, which is fantastic. The problem is the app. When compared to other magazines, such as National Geographic, The New Yorker, or even the Qantas magazine the app leaves so much to be desired. The magazines are scanned pages of the print edition, with a 'reading' view which looses most the character. Similar to how kindle magazines work. Not great on the iPad. Wile it does support rotation, its not well implemented. Also uses low res icons and graphics, which could be updated for the iPad 3. So overall good content, but the app needs a major update.

Outstanding. If this is the direction e-magazines are taking, all I can say is; Great News. Congratulations on an outstanding product!

Please upgrade iPhone 5 screen!!. Please upgrade iPhone 5 screen!!

Crashes Upon Opening. This app crashes shortly after opening. Super frustrating. Uninstall/delete/reinstall -nothing has worked. And it is also super frustrating that Offline Reading functionality isn't in place yet. Seriously needs a new version - ASAP. *love The Atlantic though.

Loading new issue is problematic. I like reading The Atlantic, even though I live in Australia. But I hate the app. I have difficulty updating every single month. I shan't be updating my subscription.

Good magazine, poor app. The Atlantic is a good magazine. The Atlantic app is a bad app. It does not save the readers place through exits or task-switching, it has a jerky interface and it has no access to the free online content. For a magazine that is aiming to survive in the digital age, the Atlantic's app has many obvious problems. The biggest advantage is that the app and the magazines are cheap, so you won't spend to much before you find the problems. There is no easy access to the online content, and I have no idea how they could have forgotten to include it. The app does not handle exits and multitasking well. Instead it puts you back on the starting screen, and sits unusable while it checks for updates. All the other readers and magazines and papers that I own manage to handle task switches. The interface is broken as well. There is no clear, easily accessed index for the magazine. Instead they have thumbnails of the pages, which is only useful for finding something which you have been to before, so I guess it's good for when you need to go back to the article you were previously reading again, because you switched apps, and are now at the start of the magazine. Poor effort, one star.

Excellent journalism made easily accessible. This is my go-to news app. The curated news feed and insightful reporting make this a top-notch news app

Mostly good update. I like the ability to adjust the font. I can't figure out how to get to back issues though! I have restored purchases but it doesn't seem to show me them.

Great magazine, but the app is rubbish. Complete rubbish!

Love the Atlantic. The Atlantic is a great app. Love using it. Easy to navigate.

No search function. Not really useful since there no search function when I want to find articles on a certain subject. . I’ll delete it and just use the website

No Search Functionality?. Amazing stories it’s my go to news/editorial source but does the app really not have any search functionality??? Maybe I’m missing something but I couldn’t find it anywhere

Lacking obvious Search. As others have mentioned, the lack of search functionality is a glaring omission.

High Quality app & articles. Great reader app for the Atlantic

Needs search function. I generally like the app and find it usable. But sometimes I want to search for articles, even just to save old articles in the app. But there doesn’t appear to be a search function, which is incredibly frustrating. I can search on the site, so why not on the app as well?

No Customer Support for Paid Subscribers. I have about 5 paid media subscriptions and the Atlantic is one of them. However, my enjoyment of the app has seriously dwindled. I can not sometimes get the articles to load and can not figure out why. I went through customer support link… and nothing. No response. I deleted app and reloaded it. Nope. It’s really sad that we as the few people willing to pay for digital news media these days are not dignified with a response to our issues regarding our paid subscription access. Sorry, I expected better.

Superb app. Lovely reading experience.

App Needs some features. I love the Atlantic - I’ve been a subscriber for awhile. The app is pretty good too, but it really needs a search function. It is so frustrating not to be able to look up articles. Also, I’d really like FB to link to the app, instead of opening my browser, where I can’t save it / bookmark it, and where there are ads. Otherwise, it’s a pretty good app.

Good magazine. They make it way way way too complicated to try to cancel subscription, very sketchy in that way

No Search Makes Navigating Painful. Seriously!? Even magazines have a TOC to help you quickly navigate through the pages. The fact that I can’t search for an author I like, or for keywords to create my own reading lists makes this app extremely frustrating to use. I don’t understand the point of an app that forces you to scroll blindly through information hoping you’ll land on the article you’re looking for. I stopped using it and spend most of my time on the website where I can actually find the stories my colleagues and friends have recommended I read. Don’t waste your time on this app. UPDATE: I’m tentatively upgrading my rating on the promise of a search function. But I still find it very difficult and time-consuming to navigate. I spend almost all my time on the website instead of the app. I’m curious to see what it means when the developers say they want to “get it right” with search.

Still no search. I love the magazine. But there is no search function in the app. And you can’t ‘open’ a specific issue in the app. So you wind up going to the web site anyway, and repeatedly having to sign in. Just …. WHY???

Great magazine with no fluff. The Atlantic is the only paid subscription I’ve ever had. I like how their editorial is varied but not too expansive. Best $50 I ever spent

The Atlantic Today. The best subjects & articles on today’s news ... Refreshing and Insightful!!

Atlantic Awesome. I look forward to reading the Atlantic every morning as I sip my first cup of tea

Search box missing. Where is the search function ?

An important source of news. I don’t always agree with the authors, and that’s great! It is as non-partisan as you can get these days.

Top notch journalism. Though provoking in depth analysis of issues facing all of us in our daily lives.

Mostly nice, but one persistent annoyance. The app looks nice, and the content is excellent. However, reading long articles is challenging, because the app won’t remember where I am if I don’t finish reading an article in one sitting. It’s like reading the paper magazine, but with someone who closes the magazine and takes out your bookmark every time you put the issue down. Why can’t the app just resume in the state that it was in before switching? (It does behave like this if the switch is brief, but will revert to the home page or a blank screen with longer breaks.)

No search function!. Unbelievable there is no search function in this app. Disappointing.

Poor app experience. While signed into the app on iPhone, it will sometimes open articles in a new window that has banner ads for installing the app, and also asks you to sign in to continue reading… while you’re a paying customer using their app.

Search functionnality missing. Very nice content and quality, really love it. Biiiggg missing point for me: where is the search bar? Couple of times I wanted to search for an article but it wasnt possible. Please add the search, would be much better! Thx

Always Available!. It’s the Atlantic on my phone. I really like the paper edition, well, I still like books!! But it is nice to have yhe Atlantic everywhere I go.! App is clear, Well Organized and downloads the articles, fast. ....& nice and readable on the screen.

Crashes constantly. I love the magazine but your app is a mess. Crashes every time I try to open it. Tried everything, no use. No way to access my subscription on my phone.

Trapped. I was a subscriber for two years. It is near impossible to get out of a subscription to this magazine. Do Not commit to this rag.

Great app. I’m happy with the purchase

Fix the bugs!!!. I have had to delete and reinstall this App so many times! The App logs me out, then when I sign in it does not recognize my subscription. The only solution seems to be to completely delete and then reinstall the app, then sign in. The helpful Atlantic people suggested the solution. If you are aware of the problem please fix it!! My subscription is paid up and is up to date. This is extremely frustrating and happens often. Please fix the problem.

Update needs to go. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it I enjoyed being able to quickly scroll (a few seconds) to see what was new, and what I wanted to read. Each story seems to be published on a rather large canvas, so to speak, thus the need to keep scrolling. I miss the quick scan to capture several stories at once; No longer the quick read I would usually choose. Much preferred previous version - please go back

Great. It’s great and always nice to stay in touch with such a relevant publication.

In need of upgrade. The App gives an interesting feed every morning, the writing is easily legible. This is not a critique of the content of the magazine but rather of the app itself. For future upgrades it would useful to have a search feature to find interesting articles, also many links to the articles appear on social media platforms and they send me to the website with no option to open the article in the app. In these cases, it’s really difficult to find the same articles on the App to read them without ads and easily scroll and read. Also, hopefully there is a tablet app in the making 🤞. There are no other bugs and the app never crashes, it’s just a matter of user friendliness.

Please copy The Economist app. Please add audio to all articles. Also, implement something to let us quickly know what has been read/listen… Just copy The Economist fonctionalities.

Beautiful app and fantastic content.. I am so glad I subscribed to the Atlantic. Opening the app throughout the day is a pleasure.

I love the Atlantic, and I hate its app doesn’t have search. I love everything about the Atlantic, including the brilliant writings you can find in its archives. But for that you need to search in a browser, then enter your credentials in the browser, and... you get it - the entire point of the Atlantic app vanishes. Pls bring in / build a good search function, we, your readers need it. 5 starts to the Atlantic; and 1 star to its app on a bad day, when the lack of search frustrates me terribly, and causes the type of experience that makes me close the app and move on.

No sync, or search. l get that search is too hard. I don't get that you can't allow our saved articles via 2 iPhones. You do have a grey-black background, so are darker & smoother than the NYT app. Yr last update was 10 months ago, & my sub expires in 10 months, so it's up to you. And, my bank account, but I'm trying more than you. lol

A great app missing one critical feature.. I love the dark mode and the articles. I am baffled that despite so many mentioning it over the years that there is still no SEARCH FUNCTION! Come chaps, please add one. I’ve been forced to read so many articles over the web due to this lack of an obvious feature. Truly disappointed.

Lightweight, easy to read - but no search functionality?. Oftentimes I’ll start reading an article on a different device using a web browser, then will want to search for it to finish reading it in the app. Or, I’ll want to search for an old article I remember enjoying from the past. Unfortunately with this app there’s no obvious search bar to find specific articles.

Great content. Well written and balanced articles

Does not support passwords with special characters. I created a password online and couldn’t log into this app. A very helpful support person pointed out that the app does not like passwords with special characters.

Lack of search function is very frustrating. The reading experience is good but highly marred by the lack of any search function. I’d expect a premium experience as a subscriber, but I often end up just using a web browser, because then I can search. Very frustrating to see articles linked to on social media and NOT be able to go to the app, find the article, and save for later reading. Seriously, please put a search function in there!

Widget. It would be great to have an iPhone/iPad widget, showing the latest stories.

Great magazine. Such well written articles Really enjoying my subscription

In a world gone mad.... It is a great comfort to be able to turn to the Atlantic for some basic truth telling. I live in Canada and have basically stopped watching cable and network news and current affairs. Go Atlantic, eh🇨🇦.

The Atlantic. Highly reflective. Always well written. In-depth research. More than just a story. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

A go to source for information and commentary. I love the Atlantic. It's a trove of great writing on a wide variety of topics from the natural sciences to geopolitics and lots more. I always learn something reading it and the digital version is very easy to navigate. I think it's an "essential service" (with or without the pandemic).

Why don’t images download with magazine?. Have been a subscriber for years and love the magazine and use the app a lot. My one big frustration is that when I download the magazine to read offline on a plane or otherwise, none of the images download with it. Images are such a critical part of many Atlantic stories. Can this be fixed??

Horrible articles. The articles are just plainly terrible, they definitely need new writers or something

Really enjoy the Atlantic. I really like the new format of the Atlantic, especially the estimate on how long it will take to read. Always enjoy David Frum, even if I don’t always agree

Great content. Worth the subscription cost

What is going on down there in the US?. Thank you for your ongoing academic level insight. Canadians feel like cousins to the US, sharing some history and culture, while living in a sparser home where we have to consciously share for survival. Part of our identity is comparing our countries, seeing the emergence of social issues in parallel. I am saddened but hopeful for all of us.

Canadians content. Please offer more story lines that reflect Canada .

You guys are great!. I would not be able to survive this quarantine without your daily articles. Thank you!

Save and Search. The only reason I have given this app 2 starts and not 5 is that despite the mostly good reading experience, it is impossible to save articles on the web and find them in the app. There is also no search function integrated into the app. There is a review here for the search not being available from a year ago, and it has yet to be built in. The 2 stars are for the content. The app development team needs to marry function and form better.

Needs work. This needs work. There’s no search function. When you send an article to someone via a link, it doesn’t automatically open in the app or even give you an option to switch to the app. There’s also no way to do the daily crossword on the app or even in a browser on your phone. These are features available in even the most basic apps. Please work to improve user friendliness. I love The Atlantic. You can do better than this.

Great articles, poor app design. Have greatly enjoyed my subscription to the Atlantic these past few months. As a frequent user of the app, however, there is much to be desired. Might be greatly improved by considering the three following things: 1. The search feature is difficult to find, if it exists at all. 2. Connected to #1, but the scrolling interface makes it incredibly hard to find an article one read, say, last week, without first determining which section it might fall under and then scrolling through article after article. 3. The linking to other Atlantic articles or Atlantic writers’ pages causes one to leave the app and opens up an internet browser, where I may need to log in again. This is the case on iPhone, at least. Please fix asap! Sincerely, A dedicated article-reader and frustrated app-user

Excited to read again. Since the redesign, I’ve found I actually want to check the app each day. The content feels more thoughtfully presented and gives me a couple of ideas to think about on my commute. I actually find myself wanting to open and read some of the full articles now. So the redesign is a big win for me.

Video Ads Ruining Formerly Useful App. I don’t mind ads in a magazine. If they don’t interest me, it’s easy to keep my eyes on the text of the article I’m reading. That is as true of online magazines as is is of print magazines. BUT a video ad that can’t even be frozen in the middle of an article IS NOT easy to skip. The movement takes the eye off the text. Would anyone like to read when someone is waving something a few inches from the page? Who would think it a good idea to put someone waving from a Gucci ad ON the page?

Great content, terrible design. The Atlantic is a great source of quality journalism, and their transition to providing digital editions is welcomed. However, the new redesign of their application is terrible on both the iPhone and iPad. The images are so enormous they consume the entire screen. You have to scroll just to see the image and headline since they don’t both fit on screen at once. Their older design was much more functional, and would be great to see the app updated to make better use of screen space.

Needs Search. As many others have stated, it needs a search function and for it to sync items saved on one device to another. If I save a story on my iPad, it's not on my phone...that seems pretty basic. Like search. Last update was over a year ago?! Let's at least update this twice a year, eh? Things change.

So buggy that it’s useless.. This is such a buggy app. On iOS 13.1 the app will pop up an “error connection” when you try click on the “link to the print subscription.” After a while it goes away and then you can enter you paper subscription details. But then back comes the error when you click submit. I certainly am not going to pay for a second subscription by subscribing via Apple. So I just had to get rid of the app. And I’ll have to get rid of the paper subscription with its fixed tiny print if I’m to avoid stealing my eyes. Too bad.

Great writing, easy to navigate. I subscribed to the Atlantic for years when it was a monthly magazine. I enjoyed the long-form, in depth reporting on complex issues. The app lets me access those articles as well as more timely coverage of politics and current events. I think the Atlantic has some of the best writers and reporters in the business.

Favorite news app by far. So excited to experience The Atlantic’s refreshed style and function. The app is refined and serves up some great ideas that makes it stand apart from other newsfeeds. Rather than reading just the headline and scrolling, I engage, think about how much time I have and choose what I want to spend my time on. It finally feels like The Atlantic.

Need A Search Bar. I’m a longtime Atlantic reader, but only recently downloaded the app. The design is beautiful and personalization thoughtful. My only qualm is the lack of search function. I’ll see an Atlantic article on social media recommended to me from a friend, and there’s no way to look it up within the app. Adding a search function into the app would make better user experience.

Needs a search feature. The content quality is unparalleled. However I frequently would like to search for an article in the app and as far as I can tell there is no search feature. Another remedy would be if I open the article in safari on my phone the website should recognize I also have the app installed and ask if I would like to read the article in the app. Add these options and you have a five star app.

Great UX makes everything fresh and accesible. I have been a subscriber to The Atlantic for over 35 years. The physical magazine had a great user experience and it made my day every time the monthly issue arrived. Their first try at an app was a disaster. It frequently crashed and was awkward to use. This time they nailed it. It reinvents the e-mag experience. Or maybe they copied it? Whatever. My 35 year old magazine got an amazing new lease in life. The old app had a typical e-mag architecture: a top level index with articles under each entry. In the new version you get morning, afternoon and night suggestions on what to read. The criteria for selecting the topics vary, sometimes the most newsworthy topic of the day, sometimes a great analysis presented as series of short articles.

Needs a couple of changes to reach full potential. Love the content but I have a couple of complaints about the app. 1. Please provide a search bar! I can’t believe there’s not one already. 2. Please let us zoom into pictures in each article. I don’t want to have to save photos to my camera roll in order to see the (beautiful and stunning) photos in greater detail.

You just released your archives and still NO SEARCH!?. I love The Atlantic magazine, but I’ve asked for a search function in the app several times always to be told it’s a known issue and it’s coming. Well, it’s clearly not. You keep making updates and even the simplest apps have search, but I still can’t find the articles I want. Instead you try to force me into your homepage workflow garbage. Get off your product management high horse and give the people what they want. See every 1-star review on here.

A nice redesign. Recently I’ve found myself turning to using this app over my other news app because it not bombarding me with dozens of stories trying to get my attention, for its simplified and clean feel, and because related stories are grouped together so you can dive deeper in. I like how the app isn’t trying to look like a magazine, but still has the feeling of reading the magazine.

Not clear what is/isn’t subscriber content. When you tap on many articles, they are blocked behind the paywall. I don’t think all journalism should be free of course, but if you’ve taken time to download the app, which comes with your release of a certain amount of data to the company, it should at least make clear before opening articles whether you can actually read it.

Excellent writing, great app, but no search?. I find the app quite convenient to use and it surfaces relevant and interesting recent stories. The bookmark feature is also extremely handy, a plus over the web UI. However, I REALLY wish there was a “Search” feature to find (and so I can bookmark!) old articles that I’ve really enjoyed. Hopefully this isn’t too hard to implement; thanks for considering!

Informed. Ed Yong alone would make my Atlantic subscription worthwhile. The app is user friendly and allows me to navigate between current “today” entries, this month’s magazine and back issues. I’m 77 and in pretty strict lockdown these days. Atlantic is always a treat but now it is vital. When great writing couples with meticulous research and an historical moral perspective you get Atlantic. Bill Castle Rochester, NY

Depth and variety. This is an app that I turn to when I’ve had too much of NYT and WP news, but am looking for some high quality writing about current life. Sometimes it’s a desire for more pieces with greater depth, sometimes it’s just a feeling of wanting anything but more news. Very happy with my subscription and this app.

Forgets place in article. When I leave the app and then return later, it returns to the top of the article rather than the point where I was reading. This occurs even if I don’t close the app completely. Also switching from portrait to landscape on a tablet messes up where a user is reading because it doesn’t anchor the article at the reading location when turning

Terrific content, mediocre app.. I’m an avid fan of The Atlantic, and was looking forward to interacting with their work on my iPad. Much to my dismay, there is no search functionality within app. I often find articles shared on social media which I hope to read in the app ad-free, but I rarely can find that some content in the app. App is good when the content is easily accessible, but accessing content is difficult in the current setup.

Needs search function. All the content is great, easy to scroll and read. The main thing missing is a way to search for an item, by author or part of the title, etc. I’ll often see an article posted elsewhere on social media but when I go to find it on the app it’s nearly impossible to locate. Especially if the article is more than a few days old. Please add the ability to search!

Saving articles. I like the ability to save articles. BUT when I’m reading an article they have Ads for unrelated articles and I can tap a flag to save them. But a related article that is linked from the item I’m reading can’t be flagged. Being able to do this would be a good way to save that important related article to read when done with this article. It should also have a method similar to the Kindle app to tap on a word and look it up.

So nice to read out-of-the box journalism. The Atlantic does a great job of reporting on important, timely topics (health care, climate change), but with a completely different slant than what is found on the “Big Box” news orgs like CNN. Love that the app provides both long and short reads, and, again, always a fresh perspective. The Atlantic is a bit like NPR, with a more artsy flair.

Love everything except the links. The app is beautifully designed and of course the content is always thoughtful and engaging. I have one request: please make links to other articles go to the article WITHIN the app, not to my browser!! I assume the editors add links for people to find more information, but it is super annoying to go to my browser, realize I'm not signed in there and can't see the article. Thank you!

Thoughtful Stuff!. I’ve grown to like the thoughtfully written articles from postings in Apple News. After probably a year of lurking, decided it was about time to actually support a good publication. I don’t always agree with a point of view, now and then, but everything I’ve read makes me stop and think about why i disagree or agree with the content.

Somewhat Functional, But Not Worth the Price. Listen, I love the content. However… This app is something else. When I pay for a subscription, I expect to access the publication’s full catalog. Instead, there is no search function. Additionally, when I click into an article, it loads already scrolled partially down the page… Overall, I’m pretty bummed about paying for a yearly subscription when I don’t have access to the full magazine via the app. I can use my browser to search, but then what’s the point of the app?

Among the best. Seems almost silly to say that the Atlantic magazine is among the best magazines available in the world. It’s been around forever. It’s read by millions. But they asked me to read it so here I am. I read it every day I subscribe to it on my iPad. I have had a paper subscription but I let that lapse I love clicking on links when I’m reading stories. There is no final reporting, excellent poems, fabulous photographs, all in all worth every penny.

My favorite — Elegant, simple + beautiful to use. I am a paid-subscriber — beautifully designed, never crashes (on my old iPhone 6S Plus), and so easy to use. Please don’t ever change the app design which deserves a design award. The journalism is outstanding, the coronavirus reporting is especially broad, deep, probing, forward-looking and most thoughtful — the very very best imho. Adam Ebihara Gelfand

Great, but…. The Atlantic is, of course, the premier American periodical. So, how is it that they have an app that, while otherwise convenient and useful, has NO SEARCH BAR?! I can’t tell you the number of times I have seen an interesting article in the newsletter or elsewhere, then gone to the app to read it, and not been able (or took forever) to find it. Please, a simple search tool. A five-star magazine deserves a five-star app.

Good new features but worse readability. Using on iPad mini 5 with iOS 16.3.1 Hurrah for the new features in this latest version - including the addition (finally!) of Search. But all of a sudden the font has gone wonky. As has the spacing - e.g. there is no left margin at all. I’ve always really enjoyed reading on this app, but now it kind of hurts my eyes/brain. Here’s hoping they fix that soon so I can give this app a full five stars and start getting the most out of the new features!

Premium- Have to log in every week?. The app is making me go through a hassle of a login every single week, and now has deleted all of my saved articles (so it was a wasted exercise and also means my reading list is gone). Definitely disappointed as I was looking forward to reading them. This time I had to delete the app because it said I didn’t have JavaScript when I tried to log in. Being an apple device I don’t think they’re JavaScript enabled. The app was a lot more friendly to use than the website for me, until a recent update.

New subscriber. Just getting started. Seems like a good app. Easy to scroll through and quick to load. Cannot seem to find a search function. Was looking for some specific articles and ended up having to leave my phone and find them on my laptop. Devs- Is there a search function and I just cannot find it?

Fairly slick app, but.... I enjoy using the Atlantic app, for the most part. Yes, a search would be great, and having your place saved when pausing in reading an article seems like a natural. But my biggest headache is that every time I complete crosswords, they get checked off on the list. But upon reopening the app at a later point, all of my well-earned crossword work is gone, as if I have never completed any of them before. PLEASE fix this!!! And happy holidaze!

Okay app, but…. This is a great product (The Atlantic) on a platform that doesn’t fully reflect its excellence. The app is relatively easy to navigate and the text presentation is great. There’s one major flaw, however - there isn’t a search function! If there is one, it’s not readily apparent at all, which makes it as good as not existing. This is such an integral function for any product with an archive, and it’s curious absence from this app needs to be corrected.

Ads are very annoying. I love the Atlantic, and decided to switch to a digital subscription to save some trees. Wishing that I had stayed the hard copy. Reading the articles is like ready click bait. I have flashing ads in the middle of the article and cannot avoid them no matter how much I adjust by scrolling up or down the page. I understand the need for advertising. But I expecting that the ads would be like the ones that are on the other digital magazines that I subscribe to, which is just traditional ads that that are scrolled past as you read the article.

Love The Atlantic, but Missing Search Option. I’ve been an active reader of The Atlantic for several months now. In fact I recently got a subscription due to my love for some pieces. However after downloading the app for The Atlantic I’ve ran into the issue of not finding a way to search for articles. If there is a way to search up past articles through the app then it’s really well hidden! I hope a search option is added soon.

App works Fine. But the best part of The Atlantic is the content. The Atlantic’s coverage of current events, even before the pandemic, has been unflinching, comprehensive, superbly told from a myriad of angles, and built on an undying commitment to the survival (fulfillment, actually) of our democracy and the well-being of humankind. The history of The Atlantic reflects these same values and includes a star-studded list of contributors. Subscribe!

Great content, Saved content doesn’t sync. Great content, really like the app and the UX. The main thing missing is the ability to sync “Saved” content across devices. Inexcusable in 2020 for that to not have been added. Also, somewhat related, the website doesn’t have a way to “Save” stories. Very easy functionality to add across platforms. But, overall. Great content and good app.

No search?. I love The Atlantic and have a digital subscription plus receive posts from various writers. The app really needs to have a search button and better syncing between devices. Usually I read the articles from my phone, because that is the one piece of tech that I have on me most of the time. If I come across an article on a search that comes from The Atlantic, it would be very helpful to be able to find that article through the app. The Atlantic is way too smart of a publication to have such a dumb app.

Elegant app, with two glaring omissions.. First. No Search? Are you kidding? I start to read an article that’s served up to me by The Atlantic in my Facebook feed. I invariably get sidetracked by kids, dog, cat, email who knows what...and I’ve lost the link. Head to the Atlantic app to search...and can’t. Hard to believe this function isn’t primary here. Also, I’d like to get off of Facebook as quickly as possible. New York Times links have an “Open in New York Times app” option from Facebook. The Atlantic should have the same..

Off line reading needs to be improved. First of all, the content of the the Atlantic is outstanding. The app leaves a lot to be desired. The app is a 4.5 when reading using a WiFi connection. It’s incredibly frustrating for off-line reading like when on an airplane since you have to download the print edition. When I first subscribed, you could download the version in the app which is optimized for a tablet. Please bring this feature back!

Extremely impressed. I am reading this on my new iPad and am greatly impressed. I wish the content wasn’t so sad. Also, I was extremely saddened to hear that the Atlantic had to let a certain about of employees go because of recent economic conditions. In any case, you still put out a very fine product.

Great content ruined by ads. There’s a very important detail that no one mentions: when you become a subscriber, they keep showing you ads. I find it completely unfair. Becoming a subscriber assumes getting rid of ugly ads. Ads ruin the UX by forcing you to switch context. I could easily pay slightly more just to remove them but there’s no such option. Plus, it’s not transparent which I find unethical.

No search option? No syncing saved stories?. I love the design of the new app and I love The Atlantic. But it would be exponentially improved if there is an ability to search stories. I can’t believe the app developer thought it would be OK to just have to scroll and scroll through lists of articles to find an article from a while ago? Also, I don’t know if this is just me, but the saved stories don’t seem to be syncing across my iPhone and iPad.

Even better than the print version. I’ve been a subscriber to the print version of The Atlantic on and off for thirty years. Always loved it for the high quality of its contributors, both fiction and non-fiction. The digital version is even better. More content, diverse voices, easy to navigate, but still the best writing to be found in any medium. It’s like a newscast, documentary, feature film and public square all in one.

Awesome news app! (Would love reading history). The app is gorgeous and awesome. The Atlantic writing is awesome. My only request is to have a recently viewed or history link so I can go back to articles I started reading. If I don’t bookmark them it’s hard to find them again.

Terrific Redesign. So happy to see the excellent redesign of the Atlantic (both Print and App); makes an already great reading experience better. Only subtraction (and it’s important) is no quickly-identifiable search tool. Without it, there can be far too much scrolling and digging around when trying to find a specific story or subject seen or hear somewhere else (such as the Atlantic Podcast).

At first tricky, now enlightening.. It was confusing with the new format at first, but it’s become easier to navigate and engage as updates come out. When you become so used to a product and then massive overhauls are done, you either resent or accept. Nevertheless, I enjoy the new app better than the old version.
