Comments on New Scientist for Android

★★★★★ I'm really enjoying my New Scientist subscription on my phone. I listen to the audio edition and then read other articles.

★★★★★ I have read and loved New Scientist for the past 40 years. Like the Madonna of scientific journalism NS continually reinvents itself to maintain its relevance. I especially liked the audio edition, so I can rest my tired eyes and stay up to date with the latest scientific discoveries. I do note an ever-increasing bias towards America in terms of discussion and politics. Long live the New Scientist!

★★★★★ It's a great magazine bursting with fascinating science.

★★☆☆☆ Freezes whenever you try to read a magazine. Multiple retries required to get it to show a magazine article, and then it will fail when you try and read the next one.

★★☆☆☆ Do NOT buy Google play subscription for new scientist - it's limited! For few pounds more (currently) you can get full subscription directly from new scientist and get full access to all articles etc. available on the website only. If you buy Google play subscription by accident (as I did) then you cannot upgrade to full subscription and have to wait a full year as there is no refund available. You are stuck, and new scientist help desk can't help you.

★★☆☆☆ Seems to now be impossible to simply listen to an edition without a lot of fiddling with individual articles. A feature I used all the time, so I'll be cancelling my subscription.
