Newsweek App Reviews

Vastly better than earlier version.

Cover stories dont load, customer support non-existent. Too bad there isnt a zero star rating. Ive requested my money back from Newsweek without success. This has been an on-going saga for months and finally I quit

I cant even write a review that doesnt have bugs

The redesigned app makes for a much better experience. The downloads are available on a solid schedule, and the login issues seem to be solved.

Finally, an upgrade to boast about. Vastly improved reading experience. Finally feels like Im reading a magazine. Need to add horizontal mode, the only reason for a four star rating.

No support for lost password. Difficult to cancel. Im stuck with a Monthly bill and no issues to read.

They changed the app and now I cannot get my issues. Customer service is unavailable. Really bad service!!! Terrible app!!! Total ripoff!!! I was robbed by a forunte 500 company, unbelievable!!

Get with the times, we pay good money for the mag, so fixt the font!

Changing from paper to digital could have been a great opportunity for Newsweek unfortunately they did it half a**ed. Service is poor and the app is full of the same bugs it has had since I first started subscribing 2 years ago.

Guess not. I subscribed (trial month thankfully) and downloaded one weekly issue. New issues dont download no way to convince it to do so. Their support says deal with Apple support. Nah... Think Ill just cancel. Best of luck with the whole running a business thing.

The pleasure of reading overall interesting articles is spoiled by a buggy App and problems of download.

As others have said, fine content but uncaring staff when the poorly designed software fails to recognize a subscription or fails to download the latest issue. Dont subscribe through I-Tunes or Amazon because the publishers cares even less about you--if that is really possible. Xxxyyyzzz

This app is useless! I used before and quit because it never worked. After several months I decided to try again and still does not work!!

Its not all bad but it definitely needs improvement. Programmers need to check out Time Magazine, Sacramento Bee, etc. to see how a good app works.

Absolutely horrible. Half the time the issues dont even get delivered. Havent gotten on in 3 weeks, in fact. Customer service never responds either. Oh, the part where they take your money works just fine, always.

I have had this App through multiple iterations, originally from Newsweek and now through iTunes and Newsstand. Multiple times, including currently, the app has lost my account. I am signed out and cannot download new issues. Things I have had to do before, such as "restore purchases", have not helped. I was excited with the latest upgrade in October, because the app looked much better. I could actually get to all of the articles, which I could not previously. If they cannot resolve their technical issues, I will no longer renew my subscription.

1.On cannot read horizontally 2.Some articles cannot be magnified for a better read. Just a poor poor App. Pathetic

I recently download the new application concurrent with a new subscription. I have one issue with the app after a week, not all content orients to my iPad position. I have not experienced any issues reported by other users. If any issues arise with continued use, I will update my review.

I had mixed feelings about the old Newsweek app. Ultimately, I decided it was OK, even with its shortcomings. The new app has some nice features: a reasonable index, remembers last read page, better captions, marks page progress. My major problems are that navigation is limited to individual pages and inability to go to a landscape view. I like gestural scrolling. Its natural for tablets. I realize that landscape viewing would be tough to do dynamically. Could be modal. Makes reading during breakfast much easier.

Really great articles really bad app. I am a very tech savvy person but apparently I need a second college degree to figure out how to navigate this application. So frustrating I gave up. I will likely discontinue my subscription even though Ive been a subscriber since day one.
