Ratings and Reviews
Food for brain , feast for a literature lover
London review of books , is , without doubt , one of the best literary magazines around. It Scholarship is amazing , writing charming and style too resistible. Providing fresh ideas and instigating curiosity are its trademarks , but I would add that it’s ability to educate masses , who otherwise could not afford so many books , cannot be overlooked . Only problem is its price, and being of scientific nature , I would like them to add more scientific reviews.
Redundant if you have web subscription
I would not recommend this app at all. The best way to access the LRB is still via a print/web subscription. You get access to its complete archive, which is searchable, and relatively easy to access on mobile devices. This app adds little to that. There is no search function, and a subscription to the app version would not give you access to the full LRB archive online -- you only get access to the issues that fall within your subscription dates. The app also crashes quite a bit, often requiring a restart in the middle of reading an article -- very annoying as you often lose your place in these 5000 word long pieces. The LRB still has some work to do to make online access smoother on its web version, but so far, I would stick to the web subscription.
Good for those on the move
The app lets one download copies of the LRB, and not much lease. There is no search capability, downloads are slow, and navigation a bit clunky. So as an app, it is not very good at all. But it is not really about the app, it is about off-line access to those copies one has chosen to download, and for that I am very grateful. If you travel (or commute) and read: get it. If you don't travel (or commute), the website is much better. If you don't read, it has little to offer.
