The app is free to download. Subscribers receive unlimited access. Most current New Yorker subscribers have unlimited access to the app as part of their existing subscription.

Users who have trouble accessing stories can e-mail [e-mail] for assistance.

Non-subscribers may access the app by starting a free trial. A subscription costs $11.99 a month or $119.99 annually, and includes a 7-day free trial, after which it will automatically renew and your account will be charged, unless auto-renew is turned off before the end of the current period. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication, where applicable.

Subscriptions may be managed by the user, and auto-renewal may be turned off by updating the user’s Google Play Store subscriptions after purchase. Payment will be charged to the Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.

Ratings and reviews

Love the New Yorker, subscriber for decades. Searching within the app for an old story by author or title is useless. It's easier to Google search with keywords, find what you are looking for, then click into the app. For a long piece, if you pause reading midway, the app resets to the current homepage, you lose your place, and have to begin again. Paper is the superior technology.

I have a feeling the team prioritizes Apple when making fixes and rolling out new features. I'm a longtime print subscriber and would LOVE to use the app more but literally cannot. The search doesn't work (when I try to find an article I read in print to share with someone), there is no way to access the crosswords (except via email) and progress doesn't save, and more ... please remember about your Android users, even if it's a smaller percentage.

Seriously lacking in the kind of navigational functionality you would expect. The only buttons are for top stories, magazine issues, audio, saved stories, or search. There is absolutely no way to navigate to particular categories like you can on the website. If, for example, you wanted to use the app to play an older crossword, your only option is to search for the word crossword and hope the dates one you want pops up.
