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.

Nice app, useful articles that are handy to keep up to date with science. The only issue i have is that content is not cycled quickly enough. E.g., on 4 out of 5 visits i only find 1 or 2 new articles, and if they don't happen to interest me I leave a bit disappointed. Consider more frequent updates and adding Earth, Chemistry, and Society sections, which are only available if you log in with a Web browser but not via the app.

Does not work with Google Play SUBSCRIPTION! Took out the subscription through GP, worked fine for a while then restricted access. when signed into the app was notified I did not have a subscription, sign out and the same app tells me I have a Play subscription. Contacted New Scientist subscriptions and they didn't want to know. it was a Google problem not theirs! BE AWARE....
