Questionable Update

It looks like this update was intended to allow dynamic content and consequently the ability to use with an iPhone. What I appreciated about the old app was that it was simply digital/ePub versions of the print magazine, and therefore replicated the experience of flipping through the pages but with the added portability of having your entire collection available on the plane or a train.

One (presumably unintended) consequence of the change in the display engine is that all the subscriber special editions are no longer available, at least as far as I could find. One has to now go to the FA website and download them from there.

Many people are having trouble with validating subscriptions. This has also been a problem with previous versions of this app. I did not personally experience it this time, but understand how frustrating it is having experienced it before.

I, for one, would appreciate the ability to retain the option to read ePub versions of the issues (and keep the subscriber specials), even as a separate option within the app.

Bottom line, Foreign Affairs is a world-class publication and ought to have a world class app. It’s not quite there yet.

Thank you for your review. We have now added all of the past subscriber special editions as a PDF/ePub versions.

Great content, good features, OK app

The Foreign Affairs Magazine name for this app is an understatement. The content includes everything in the magazine plus a variety of additional articles plus audio (read) versions of many of the articles. New content shows up daily. Most people will likely pick and choose what to read.

The app is OK when it works. The organization of the articles is great. It's servicable. You can save articles and read them offline (great for travel). The formatting is pretty easy to read on iPhones and iPads.

When it doesn't work... Well I don't know. I had a problem that compleatly disabled everything on my iPad. No articles. No content. Just a blank framework of the app. Though I reached out to support and they were helpful, and though we tried many things, we could not get it to work. Then I broke my iPad, replaced it with a newer model, loaded that up from my backup and everything worked fine. Lesson, if you can't get it to work, get a new iPad.

The magazine is wonderful but the app has some space to improve

I love the magazine, but if I could give 2 suggestions for the app it would be the following:
- Add a side or top bar that could indicate progress through the text. Sometimes in a long text I feel like I’m almost finishing and I am not even halfway through. Thus, it would help to have a small indicative of progress
- allow for users to set larger or smaller fonts. The current font size is fine in general, but still I would like to make it a little larger sometimes.

Another nice feature that I would love to see being more explored is the audio stories (ideally all stories in audio), but I understand it takes more time to get it functioning.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your readership, and your thoughtful feedback. Text size options are available in the Settings. We also just added Podcast episodes to the app, and plan to continue expanding audio features. Your suggestion on showing reader progression is an excellent one, too. Thank you again for reaching out to us!
