8 of 25I took a pause for a time now funds are back and so am I It’s a visually stunning app that allows me to enjoy a magazine I started reading when I was 2 years old.
Articles in the widget need to refresh more frequently. The same four articles have displayed all week, significantly diminishing the usefulness of having a widget. Perhaps include articles from the past, if you’ve run out of “most recent” articles to display. Ideally, after an article in the widget has been clicked/read, it would no longer display in the widget and be replaced by a different article. I’d rather see more frequent refreshes, even if they are older articles, than simply see the latest published.
Don’t do it Nat Geo! Reading the mag on iPad is the best Nat Geo experience hands down. You move to a website and it’s done.
Disney is plowing full speed ahead with it's plan to sundown this 136-old American institution. It's latest announcement is that this app will be no more as of September 26, 2024. Since they already fired the entire staff of writers earlier this year, I guess this shouldn't come as a surprise. My question is- once they finally kill off this magazine for good, what will they legally be allowed to do with its $1.4 billion endowment? I hope all of those people who donated their estates to NatGeo over the last 136 years don't just end up having the fruits of their labor line the pockets of Disney Corporation executives going forward.
Once you get to the open app it’s great and beautiful BUT every time I use it, whether I initiate or use a link from National Geographic email I have to manually log-in. The auto-fill doesn’t work and it doesn’t keep me logged in even for a few minutes. Why is this when on sister apps of ESPN, Disney and ABC I am kept logged in? Half the time I don’t bother to go look up log-in credentials and password. Irritating to say the least.
This app is awesome however, I don’t know if I’ll continue using this app because there are a couple issues that I have noticed. Number one is that there is a problem when I try to play videos where it says error and then it says airplane this video if problem persist please see our FAQ section. that is a huge problem. Also, could you please make a kids version for kids and those of us who are either too young or don’t understand the adult version? I think that could be awesome if we had a kids version of the app. Especially since some of the games don’t work very well on mobile devices on the website. If you guys could consider doing that, that would be absolutely awesome. I love the books when I get them from the store and I have learned a lot from the kids books from National Geographic kids. It would be nice to have it in an app form as well. my favorite National Geographic kids books are the 5000 awesome facts.
Just subscribed. Love the content. Love the app and now just received news that the app is being taken down. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS APP. It’s a great app and wonderful content and using a desktop website on a phone or ordering paper copies of a magazine is thoroughly antiquated. 😭
I love it! The excitement I had from looking through the magazines when I was younger has been rekindled and rediscovered. Very grateful for this app❤️ Thank you Nat Geo!
