Ratings and reviews

I love new scientist and have been reading for most of my life on and off. The android app is okay, but the audio management is awful. It is the simplest podcast player out there, with barely any features to filter, mark things as read, only add new things to your queue, etc. This doesn't make it unusable, however for the last 2 weeks, I have been unable to download or play anything. I have a full subscription, I am in the USA. I've uninstalled, cleared cache, etc. to no avail :-(

This is the best of the many "popularized science" magazines. It comes from the UK but the contributions come from throughout the world. The level of background might be classed as "advanced beginner without need for a math background". Anyone from high school on up will be able to understand and enjoy their presentations. I'm a major fan. (You need to subscribe to the digital version. It's not expensive.) If I were to offer a suggestion, it is PLEASE PROVIDE A SEARCH FUNCTION! Thanks!

You broke everything with this "update". Even dark mode doesn't work anymore (black text on black background). Where's the downloaded area? Why can't it remember where I left off reading anymore? Whoever tested this rancid pile of code should be sacked. Clearly the engineer didn't read the review. Dark mode doesn't work, not because you can't turn it on, but because you can't read *black text on a black background*. And tapping "magazines" shows all of them, not just the ones you downloaded.
