Do not use this App! Despite being subscribed, the App is asking me to pay for new issues. When I contact New Scientist, they say it is a Google Play Store issue, when I contact Play Store, they say it is an issue for New Scientist. Looking at the other reviews, I am not the only one with this problem. Update: after 3 weeks without access, I can now use my subscription again. Let's see how long this lasts.

Same issue as last time I subscribed ( and didn't renew as a result). Paid for a year's subscription, app blocks access and tells me the subscription doesn't exist. And yes, it is activated.

Shockingly bad app design. Instead of providing access to all the content found on the website, it is severely stripped down. On the website, you have access to multiple areas of study: health, space, physics, technology, environment, mind, humans, life, mathematics, chemistry, earth, society. On the app, these options are stripped down to: space, technology, physics, health, mind, environment. No search function. Dumbed down. Don't bother.
