Seems to now be impossible to simply listen to an edition without a lot of fiddling with individual articles. A feature I used all the time so I'll be cancelling my subscription.

It is frequently nigh impossible to locate an article of interest. The software keeps telling me that I have no subscription when, as a matter of fact, I do. I will not renew my subscription when it expires.

I'm a medical doctor and have been reading the New Scientist since I was 15. It explains new and interesting research findings in a huge range of health areas, tells you the strength and limitations of the evidence, puts it all into context and is easy and fun to read. And in an online world of false information, New Scientist should be a go-to for people wanting to learn how to improve their health, without resorting to google or inaccurate instagram influencer advice. 5*'s!
