This Magazines give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Awful experience for magazines
1. Installs as an app instead of in the newstand, which is VERY inconvenient.
2. Requires you to login with userid/pwd EVERY time you want to read or download an issue
3. False errors when attempting to download. I have 2gb availble on my 6gb Kindle Fire, and it said insufficient disk space to download my very first issue! I sent an email to them about the issue, which was not responded to. After a couple days, it did finally start downloading (who can guess why it worked that time). Size of a single issue well over 100mb!!!!! Haven't they heard of compression? If you move off the page (perhaps to do something else on your Kindle during the long download), the download in progress is lost, and it starts again from scratch, so basically you just have to sit and wait.
4. Once it finally downloaded, the app wouldn't open it.
Have the exact same issues with Wired magazie, which is also a Conde Nast magazine that installs as an app instead of in the...
2. You can do better, and it wouldn't be hard.

Need more appointment... ?
Overall, very pleased with just a few minor issues
After reading the numerous negative reviews for this app, I was hesitant to try it, but given how much I enjoy the occasional print copy of The New Yorker that I get, I had to give this a try.
The good news is that the most frequently mentioned problem seems to have been fixed --- Since installing this app and getting The New Yorker subscription started, I have not had to re-enter my user name and password beyond the first time.
As for this periodical being under APPS vs the Newsstand is really a non-issue with me, since I use the Kindle Fire's carousel to access most of my media.
The first issue downloaded smoothly, and did not take an excessive amount of time (a minute maybe).
The content is well laid out and easy to read. Navigation is easy (but see #4, below).
A few minor issues that had me give this app 4 stars instead of 5:
1)The initial subscribing to The New Yorker was VERY confusing and unclear. If you are...
