1. 5/5Okay app - but could be great

   I am a long time subscriber to The Atlantic. I still get the print magazine but honestly do most of my Atlantic reading electronically. I was really excited when I first got the app, but have only been frustrated since. First, it is the most unintuitive app I think I have used in a long time. Having to dig 3 to 4 steps down to even find the magazine edition. It shouldn’t be an expedition to find the most recent magazine. I understand having the feed to read popular articles, but the joy of The Atlantic is “paging” through the magazine to read different articles that I wouldn’t typically click on in a news feed. Second, SEARCH. How can there not be a search function??? Search is one of the most useful reasons to read newspapers and magazines in electronic format. Please, please, please add search function. Third, Font Size. I can’t be alone in the demographics of The Atlantic subscribers in needing glasses or larger fonts to read comfortably. This is probably the second biggest reason to read content electronically instead of the print version. Please add the ability to adjust the size of the font. I still enjoy The Atlantic and think it is one of the best sources for in depth analysis of current events and culture. However, until these issues are addressed I will probably continue to link to The Atlantic on the internet instead of through the app.

2. 5/5Why is it so hard to use this app?

   I love the Atlantic. If I tell you I‘ve been reading it since James Fallows was a rookie, a few of you may know how long that’s been. A long time. The Atlantic has successfully negotiated the transition to the internet when so many of its peers have stumbled. The magazine still offers top notch long form journalism and the past few years it has tried to resurrect its role as a venue for high quality fiction and poetry, too. The web site is a treasure trove of innovative commentary and news that complements “newspaper” sites. The politics, economics, and science reports are invaluable for me. The problem is the app. I recently tried to renew my subscription through it, but the app would have none of that. I had to cancel and resubscribe, I discovered after a long and particularly unenlightening exchange with customer service. These days the app just forgets my subscription information every few days and I have to go through a rigamarole to get it to allow me to see anything. Customer service says to delete the app and reinstall it. They point out that a will lose my list of saved articles when I do that. I’d say, “no problem, I only have a few articles on my saved list,” but how do I re-save them after I reinstall? There is no search feature to allow me to find them. My advice: read the Atlantic, but do it from the website!

3. 5/5Big tech writer Charlie Warzel

   Let's get this straight from the start: My hopes in technology dimmed with the passing of Steve Jobs. Since Steve died, hope for the good outcome of digital technology slowly died with the loss of Jobs. Warzel's writing is at a near-genius level because as his article "There Never Was a Plan" ( on the tariffs manhunt) shows, Big Tech supporters of the Administration produce more harm than simply misinformation, or even conspiracy. Their lies are like video games the Gen Z generation likes to play, feeling especially their might of masculinity in mastering the Art of Winning. Like online video games (and sports betting), this digital fantasy deniers deny material, physical and social reality. In doing so, the misuse of digital knowledge robs humanity; and those of us who still believe, just a little in the values of our Republic, feel less and less human. Overpowered by robots and algorithms. Charlie unpacks all of this craziness from the Techbros.

4. 5/5Thanks for the fax s

   At a moment in history when anybody can make up nonsense and call it facts, whether it be in science, the economy or any other quantifiable matter, the Atlantic still stands for the concept that reality survives itself. They still insist reporters provide quantifiable facts to support their statements unless it is a pure opinion piece. The Catholic Church put Copernicus in jail for saying the sun, not the Earth, was the center of the solar system but at the end of the day he was proven correct. The Atlantic is not a church but a place you go to sort through real facts to form your own opinions. I am hoping the same thing will happen with this administration because beliefs are not facts and reality will survive itself. Hopefully we will not all lose all our savings as the economy tanks or our lives as RFK leads us back to treating plaque with leeches! Thanks for your hard work in printing facts rather than beliefs.

5. 5/5How all are being manipulated - intentionally or not

   Article points out, I think correctly, that a large part of the current problems between our American citizens is simply based on perception and not based in reality of action. In our home we call it ‘drama llama behavior’ - and as older people perhaps, with military experience as well as business and employee lives, we find it tiresome if not downright discouraging. Its unfortunate that ANY person in leadership should garner attention for ‘drama llama behavior’ and our citizens would be well advised to refuse any support for anyone who preys on hyping up events this way. The young people I know call it an ‘attention economy’ - you make money by gaining attention, so do whatever it takes to get attention…. The worse, the better. Personally I call that just plain poor judgement. Toddlers do this - I don’t allow toddlers to lead my views.
