Who would design a e-reader where you can’t figure out how to annotate text in 30 seconds, let alone 10 minutes? Apparently you can’t annotate text. That’s telling most serious reader that you can’t really read the work, merely skim it. Why bother with a separate app that doesn’t have better performance?

Idiots

Should just be an iPad app.

Terrible app for the iPhone! It simply downloads a PDF of the print version of the magazine rather than providing content in a way that's user-friendly to the iPhone's native dimensions. To read articles you need to pinch and expand or double tap to enlarge, and requires that you finger-scroll all around the place to read pages, which have 3 columns of text. Absurd. The app is also really buggy and crashes all the time. I love the Boston Review, but this app is horrible. Save your money!

If you like well-reasoned arguments from different perspectives, people talking about current events like adults, and being talked to like an adult, you'll like Boston Review.

A beautifully designed app that keeps you updated on political, cultural and literary issues - it is all right at your fingertips. Highly recommended!

A beautiful app, great be able to carry these issues around in my pocket. And the page-turning feature is so fun! The animation gets a little slow & lurchy, but not enough to be obnoxious. Wish I could subscribe through this!
