Very nice app. Great volume of audio articles & podcasts and very thoughtful & creative graphics by the magazine👍🏼
★★★★☆Alexander Rudenok· Oct 6, 2025
The app functions well enough; however, I would appreciate it if dark mode could be implemented. Thank you.
★★★★★Mushfique Fahim· Dec 26, 2025
I have no idea why it's rated so low. The app works perfectly for me. Also, shout out to the top-notch quality of content maintained by the New Yorker.
★☆☆☆☆Hanne-Marie Barlach Christensen· Dec 1, 2025
This app is missing dark-mode, and it is slow to load. When you are reading a story and briefly exit and return to the app, there is a decent chance the story you were on will not load again, and you'll have to go find it. When I click a link from the newsletter or sent by a friend, the app tells me to become a subscriber, even though I already am. It's sad, and really makes me wonder if it's worth purchasing another year of subscription if it's going to be a hassle to access the stories.
★★☆☆☆Kevin McBain· Mar 19, 2026
Finally, a dark mode! Edit: Spoke too soon, it doesn't really work that well on the Games section as both the crossword and other games are still blindingly bright.
★★☆☆☆Jennifer Rossiter· May 24, 2026
I can read articles but random unrelated audio (from the app) starts playing whilst using it.
★☆☆☆☆Layne Mostyn· Dec 2, 2025
I subscribed to the New Yorker several days ago and have yet to access any articles. On the website they are still paywalled, and on the app no content will load. I have to recommend against anyone subscribes to a Condé Nast publication, as their mobile experience is appalling and their customer service can't fix it.
