Ok I like to listen to the audio for the magazine issues. For three years on two different Android phones I encounter the same issues of the audio randomly stopping mid track and the history randomly adjusting on an almost daily basis so tracks already listened to are back in the up next list. I then have to try and clear the list and try and remember what issue I'm listening to. It is soooooo frustrating. Needs issue info in track list as a minimum. Please fix this it is soooo painful.

After being a loyal subscriber for many decades I've had enough of the sharp practices of the new scientist publisher and their opaque pricing. After discovering they are taking £70 a quater off me through direct debit for a digital only subscription, I've canceled it. There are plenty of other good information sources out there now that value their customers.

The notifications for suggested articles are really good. Pressing the notification to read that article, however, just opens the app and doesn't go to the article in the notification. Useless.
