One of the best resources for stimulating self-examination and one's place in the world.
Some interesting articles.
Has some interesting articles but the titles are so arbitrary that it is really hard to tell from the title whether an article is likely to be of interest. I'm usually short of time, so if I have 10 minutes I want to pick one article, quickly, read and have something to mull over in the back of my mind for the rest of the day. If the titles don't let me filter, I spend my time poking into articles that turn out to be of no real interest and I have just wasted my time in a most unsatisfying way.
Apparently, this is why they sell print and digital separately or bundled at a higher price. Only magazine that I know of which offers an app that doesn't allow print subscribers (which used to be a bigger priority to publications) to access it as part of the script. I give it 2 stars because the app itself might be a 4 or 5 but complicated access rules places it lower. Wouldn't let me give an Incomplete.
Great content, but a junky app. The worst problem is the "mobile-optimized" menu from which you select pieces to read. On the menu, you can't identify the titles of the books reviewed or book authors. The menu only states the titles of the pieces, which are typically more whimsical than descriptive. You end up having to click through every article to figure out which to read. Another problem is that block quotes don't appear indented, so you just have to guess where they begin and end.
