First release : 14 Jan 2012
App size: 11.94 Mb
At a time of rising religious extremism and irrational nonsense New Humanist magazine provides the antidote: witty, incisive and original comment and argument from a sceptical perspective. Relaunched as a quarterly journal of ideas, science and culture in 2013, New Humanist is elegant, independent-minded and provocative. Drawing on a freethinking tradition stretching back more than 120 years but dedicated to the best contemporary writing, New Humanist is a lively and compelling guide to contemporary thought and culture, and an essential voice of reason. Contributors include Suzanne Moore, Philip Pullman, Will Self, Natalie Haynes, Jonathan Rée, Claire Tomalin, Stewart Lee, Stephen Fry, Ricky Gervais, Stephanie Merritt, Martin Rowson, Brenda Maddox, Robin Ince, AL Kennedy, Stuart Hall, Francis Wheen, Laurie Taylor and Christopher Hitchens.
New Humanist is published by the Rationalist Association, a 125-year-old charity devoted to reason, science and secularism.

Latest reviews of New Humanist app for iPhone and iPad
Only readable on a tablet or computer.
The worst app ever. So frustrated with and it blurs every time I zoom in. Its not responsive with modern day technology. Its at least 5 years behind compare to other app. So so frustrated!
So glad to see this publication make its way to Newsstand. I appreciate the access to back issues with a subscription and updates for iOS such as clickable links on contents pages (although these are strangely lacking from the cover page). Good job!
This may be a decent app for reading a paid subscription, but the free version itself has nothing to offer.
The design of this app doesnt even remotely consider a mobile platform. Its like trying to read a PDF document. Also, I should only have to sync an issue once, not every time I open the app.
