First Things is First Rate

This is by far the best “journal” of philosophy, politics and contemporary life published today. Most of our lives is filled with a lot of reading. Whatever you do, when you start to prioritize what needs to be read, put First Things at the top of that list!!

Love the publication, difficulty with the app interface

First Things produces some of the best writing available today. Absolutely love their articles, essays, and thoughts. But the app on the iPhone cuts off the bottom quarter of the page with the horizontal scrolling page feature, and shows a black bar on top that could conceivably be used as space to fit the pages of the magazine. Additionally, there’s no way to minimize the horizontal scrolling pages feature, which makes it difficult to read the articles.

Broken & Defective

The most recent update made this app unusable, and I am unable to find a way to fix it. I am going to cancel my subscription and see about getting a refund.
