So here's my honest take on New Scientist. I've tested a bunch of news and magazine apps, and this one's pretty solid overall. The content is top-notch, with in-depth reporting on a wide range of scientific topics. I like how you can access the full digital issues - it's a great way to dive deep into the stories. The app itself is well-designed and easy to navigate too. On the downside, the ads can get a little intrusive, and I wish the podcast selection was a bit broader. But those are minor gripes. If you're a science nerd like me, this is a must-have app.

Description

Been using the New Scientist app for a couple months now. It’s basically a news and science magazine that covers everything from AI to climate change. Pretty solid app if you’re into that kind of stuff.

Here’s what you do: you can read the latest news stories, watch videos on cool science topics, and listen to their weekly podcast. There’s also a feature where you can access the full digital magazine issues – that’s pretty neat. And the app will even send you notifications when there’s big breaking news.

Look, if you’re into science and tech, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a little annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want to stay up to date on the latest discoveries and innovations.
