The app works great as a magazine but I have two main complaints, one about the content and one about the app navigation. First, how can you display articles without showing the publication date? I have no idea if the article is relevant today. Second, there's no navigation that takes me straight to the homepage. I have to keep going back and back and back. Please add a home button on every page.

Anyone with a scientific curiosity would find New Scientist interesting and informative. I've been a reader for about 53 years and hardly miss a week. It helps keep your finger on the pulse of scientific progress, where the sciences are now, and where they may realistically be in the future. Highly recommend.

Audio player covers up the bottom of articles when not in use, even after selecting clear queue. It is possible to resolve temporarily by selecting >| on the track selected but it reappears if the app is restarted, annoyingly. The audio queue doesn't seem to work properly as it loops back to the start of editions rather than stopping. When switching back to the app the swipe left/right to the next/previous article doesn't work without exiting the issue and reloading it. Copy/paste also annoying.
