MIT Technology Review Reviews

Doesn’t remember my subscription and always have read on web instead

Doesn’t hold your reading position, can’t read offline.

This is a scam. It is not an actual magazine subscription in the sense that nearly every other similar app is. It (1) provides no access to the same content outside MITTechnologyReview (e.g., on the website) and (2) does not support standard iOS features like sharing links or bookmarking or opening in the browser. It should probably be removed from MITTechnologyReview store.

The credit card attached to my appleID has been charged for the subscription I made - but MITTechnologyReview doesn’t recognize the associated email — so I have now paid $50 for content I cannot access.

Waiting to hear back from help desk to confirm they will issue a refund.

Keeps reloading and refreshing whenever I reopen MITTechnologyReview . Cannot multitask at all. Surprising considering it's 2022.

- MITTechnologyReview doesn’t store on which page you stopped reading
- you cannot adjust the font size
- doesn’t sync across devices

On iPad, login prompts for user id, but not password. Don’t know if I’m logged in or not, can’t access back issues.

Apps basic functionality does not work - MIT please fix this.

Good content, poor user experience

Every time my screen turns off and I open MITTechnologyReview back up the article resets to the top and I have to go and find my place again. This is annoying. Also it would be nice to be able to download articles so I could read them on a plane or in the subway.

MITTechnologyReview is like horse drawn chariot in the days of electric cars. Other than display the text in English(thankfully), it has no functionality. I give the stars to the contents and none to MITTechnologyReview itself. Imagine it is already version 1.7. It should be beta 0.7 for a technology magazine app.

I purchased the subscription on the phone using the credit card saved in my app store. Then later I want to access from web page, it doesn’t find my account and cannot access any issue.

Ironically that a technology review magazine from MIT has a sub par app.

I use MITTechnologyReview on my iPad. It is very surprising that an app with the MIT representation, would not have incorporated some basic features such as being able to adjust font size to make it more accessible to this of us who are visually challenged.
The content is great, please improve the accessibility functions of MITTechnologyReview !

MITTechnologyReview is still not as seamless as the economist or wsj. But there is progress

I love MIT Technology Review & I’m a subscriber. However I’m also dyslexic. I wish there was a more accessible / inclusive option to have the text read aloud.

Love their content for sure, but I hope MITTechnologyReview can display the articles on the website like Harvard Business Review does.

It’s fine for me but this would be difficult to read for anybody had trouble with small print. Seems like an easy thing to fix!??

See subject

MIT, your content is excellent and informative. MITTechnologyReview desperately needs customization for font size, currently too tiny. Pickup where you last left off or bookmarking would be more than welcome. Thanks!

Always enjoyed Technology Review. Now I can red it offline and search prior issues...wow !

Can’t properly log in - does not load password input page.

Can not change font size
Can not mark text or highlight
No bookmarks, need to use paper notes to remember where I left
...

Please add this features, thx

Fine Print: "subscribing in this way does not include unlimited access to technologyreview.com"

FAIL

i lost $35 buy not reading the fine print... if you want MITTechnologyReview AND website access, you must open your account and spend the $35 on the website. Apparently you are punished for using Apple to setup an annually recurring subscription. How does that make sense?

I just cancelled my subscription and will continue to buy at the airport newsstand once my remaining issues run out.
