Pros and cons of Prospect Magazine app for iPhone and iPad

Prospect Magazine app good for

As a non English reader I can find many interesting thoughts about whats going on in the UK

Absolutely outstanding group of contributors over the past several years I have subscribed - David Goodhart was a great creator and sure the new editor is also fine but perhaps a little to right wing for me which seems to be quite general in the UK / US with a certain group of well educated women !!!

Some bad moments

The app freezes under iOS8 and does not accept the login details provided by Prospect. I am not impressed.

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 its 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.

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.

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.

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 iPhone. I have an iPhone 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.

I can never seem to use this without several logins on different sites (no idea why). I generally have to reset at last one of the passwords which takes quite some time. Inside the app, the difference between posts and magazine content is not at all clear. Navigation is a muddle. Such a good magazine deserves a better app
