The Atlantic Magazine

I love my subscription to The Atlantic, but I prefer reading articles on the website, even via mobile. That is because the app lacks scroll bars or other means to allow the reader to gauge remaining reading time. This is an unthinkable omission for a publication with such long and in-depth articles.

I like the ability to save articles. BUT when I’m reading an article they have Ads for unrelated articles and I can tap a flag to save them. But a related article that is linked from the item I’m reading can’t be flagged. Being able to do this would be a good way to save that important related article to read when done with this article. It should also have a method similar to the Kindle app to tap on a word and look it up.

The Atlantic’s app doesn’t remember your place in the article you’re reading, which is an insane oversight considering the news sources they’re competing against. It’s very annoying.

It’s just good for reading the articles. It’s a decent beginner effort, I expect more from a digital subscription. NYT app is a decent comparison (Also not great either TBH…maybe I’m just demanding…) I wish it were possible to gift articles from the app. Currently, You have to log into the Atlantic.com website. Search function is meh. I use it religiously so I won’t give it worse than 3⭐️⭐️⭐️ but I’d love to see an upgrade

I love The Atlantic, but the app leaves a bit to be desired. Currently, the app appears broken. Articles don’t load (“forbidden” error message) and nothing shows on the Today page. I’ve tried signing out and back in, deleting and reinstalling the app. No change. When the app does work, there is no padding so text runs right to the very edge of the screen. I’ll take that over nothing. Please fix!
