Prospect Magazine for Android

Please fix the crash bug on iOS9.

I love this magazine. I used to be a subscriber, reader, and reviewer all the way from Iran, wherein getting the magazine was not as easy as other places. I still love the content and the insight. It is, therefore, a shame in my opinion that this content is present the way it is on my Android. I have an Android 6, which by all accounts is quite large. Despite that, I can tell you that the content is not easy to read, particularly on pages with a single column layout. It is as though you are being presented with a scanned version of the print edition, which is most likely the case. I would have liked to see something more device-specific from the intelligent and bright illustrators and designers of this fabulous magazine. It is very hard for me to keep on reading content. I involuntarily get my nose into the phone, which other than making me look silly, is quite harmful to the back and the neck. Anyway, I hope the editors will see this and do something about it. I am glad that I used the trial period. I most likely will stick to subscribing to the print version, which gives me access to the PDF version of the editions, which basically offers the same amount of content layout as the current application, with the benefit of being able to search the content, copy interesting tidbits for clipping, as well as presenting me with a nice, linked table of contents.

Clean and easy to use. Prefer over the actual magazine. Would be nice to have some feature to favorite articles or flag a specific point in an article.

Prospect is a great magazine, but the app needs work. When open on the iPad2, it is impossible to enlarge the font size. The text is so small as to be uncomfortable to read.

This is a fairly poorly designed app all round. tests essentially a glorified PDF reader. Unlike the New Yorker, the Economist or Businessweek it is up to the reader to fit the screen to the text rather than the text automatically fitting the screen (think the difference between viewing a website with lots of horizontal scrolling through a standard browser versus safari 'reader' mode). The end result is your stuck with text that is overly small or you have to zoom and maneuver between columns, which is a pain. The download speed is also poor. The magazine is still readable, but it's a bit of chore. This is all a shame because it detracts from the editorial content of the magazine which ranges from excellent to not quite so excellent.
