Stops scrollingThe content is fine but the phone app no longer scrolls properly. I am no longer able to finish reading any articles. The update did not solve the problem.

Fix the apWish The Atlantic coders would fix the app. The past few weeks it's been a mess - flickering, scrolling uncontrollably, having to verify my humanity every article I read, etc. It has been a great app, but needs attention right now!

Left-leaningIf left-leaning media is your thing, it's for you. If you are looking for carefully centrist reporting or reporting Equally sceptical of the left and the right, you're less likely to find it here.

Recent five-star reviews

Consistently terrificOne of the few publications in existence that can be read cover to cover multiple times. The standard of the writing is just astonishing.

Independent, & Smart with a SoulWonderful range of non political stories and no sane washing agenda when reporting on the political nightmare we are living through. A place to come to when you crave reality.

Time managementVery often, I have plenty to do, but look on my phone and see articles to The Atlantic. I want to read. I read the articles and then everything else can wait. I don't want to be reading at that moment, but I must.
