Better than a browser. One issue is that when I click a link I'm the app it opens a browser window which isn't signed in so prevents me from reading the article. Is there any way around this?

I love new scientist and have been reading for most of my life on and off. The android app is okay, but the audio management is awful. It is the simplest podcast player out there, with barely any features to filter, mark things as read, only add new things to your queue, etc. This doesn't make it unusable, however for the last 2 weeks, I have been unable to download or play anything. I have a full subscription, I am in the USA. I've uninstalled, cleared cache, etc. to no avail :-(

New Scientist has great content. Unfortunately the technology in the app has become terrible. Today I cannot read the magazine because it has limited me to see only three articles. On another day, the app might just crash. Previously, I cannot read the Letters. There are so many problems I can't remember them all. It is so frustrating! If you cannot improve the app my only option is to cancel my subscription.
