What's New in Version 6.1.1
We fixed a bug that caused iPad users to lose their place in a story after leaving the app.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” —Martin Luther King Jr., August 1963 issue

The Atlantic is the antidote for those who have become overcome with gloom about the current state of journalism. It presents variety, provocation, entertainment and intelligence.

Version 4.0.1
Like the vast majority of people (I would imagine) I flick in and out of apps. One really frustrating thing about this app is that it does not remember where I was up to or what I was reading. If I reopen the app an hour or two, it will just go back to its homepage. The New Yorker app is much better at this - I can reopen the app days later and it will go right back to where I left off.
Very frustrating

The content is excellent but the app is appalling - it constantly become unresponsive on my iPad Pro running iOS 9. Very flaky software.

I'm only writing this review because I can't read the Atlantic. With the new update I can read one screen's worth while my device labours to download whatever the banner across the bottom is, then everything locks up. Very frustrating.
Loading new issue is problematic

I like reading The Atlantic, even though I live in Australia. But I hate the app. I have difficulty updating every single month. I shan't be updating my subscription.

Hi.
I have had the pleasure of accessing the Atlantic Magazine app for a while now and it has generally been very good. Except - the last few days every article has the same "disqus" comments at the bottom that have nothing to do with the article I've just read.
I don't know where else to complain about this so here we are.
Other than that, a good app.
Cheers.
Mostly good update

I like the ability to adjust the font. I can't figure out how to get to back issues though! I have restored purchases but it doesn't seem to show me them.

Still useless as ever. When I log in, as an existing subscriber, I still regularly find only option is to buy latest issue...why can't you get yourselves organised like other online publications which never seem to have this problem...New edition is available .... Download... Read.
How hard can it be?

This app crashes shortly after opening. Super frustrating. Uninstall/delete/reinstall -nothing has worked. And it is also super frustrating that Offline Reading functionality isn't in place yet. Seriously needs a new version - ASAP.
*love The Atlantic though.
Still crashes

There is nothing wrong with the content. The Atlantic is insightful, interesting and very up to date. However the app itself is somewhat clumsy and sluggish in its design. I suspect less than adequate coding may be to blame.
Great magazine, but the app is rubbish

World's best writing packaged up in the worst possible app. S O S L O W. terrible nav, content takes forever to load... it's like your being punished for wanting to use the app. Take the hint and use their website instead.

Ever since the update last week this app is just a spinning wheel of frustration. In one week I have read once, only after uninstalling and reinstalling it again.
Needs a fix
Great content, app needs a refresh

Version 2.2
The content from the Atlantic is great, once you subscribe you can download back issues, which is fantastic.
The problem is the app. When compared to other magazines, such as National Geographic, The New Yorker, or even the Qantas magazine the app leaves so much to be desired. The magazines are scanned pages of the print edition, with a 'reading' view which looses most the character. Similar to how kindle magazines work. Not great on the iPad. Wile it does support rotation, its not well implemented. Also uses low res icons and graphics, which could be updated for the iPad 3.
So overall good content, but the app needs a major update.

Version 2.1
This used to be my favorite app. Beautiful design, of course great writing, and then they asked me to update it, only to be rewarded by incredibly annoying, constantly moving ads at the bottom that can' t removed. Tried covering it with my finger whilst I read, but the slightest pressure from my 'shield' either opened the ad or lost the story.
Pointless with the bright colored moving ads but great otherwise.
Poor update

Very disappointing from The Atlantic magazine. Great magazine, terrible app. Crashes constantly. Can't read any of my saved editions. Please fix quickly.

This app is downright painful to use - I'm constantly having to zoom and pan. Plus there are way too many ads.
Dear Atlantic Staff: please see The Economist app for how a magazine app should work.
Good magazine, poor app

The Atlantic is a good magazine. The Atlantic app is a bad app. It does not save the readers place through exits or task-switching, it has a jerky interface and it has no access to the free online content.
For a magazine that is aiming to survive in the digital age, the Atlantic's app has many obvious problems. The biggest advantage is that the app and the magazines are cheap, so you won't spend to much before you find the problems.
There is no easy access to the online content, and I have no idea how they could have forgotten to include it.
The app does not handle exits and multitasking well. Instead it puts you back on the starting screen, and sits unusable while it checks for updates. All the other readers and magazines and papers that I own manage to handle task switches.
The interface is broken as well. There is no clear, easily accessed index for the magazine. Instead they have thumbnails of the pages, which is only useful for finding something which you have been to before, so I guess it's good for when you need to go back to the article you were previously reading again, because you switched apps, and are now at the start of the magazine.
Poor effort, one star.
