Le Monde diplomatique is the place you go when you want to know what’s really happening. This is a major international paper that is truly independent, that sees the world in fresh ways, that focuses on places no other publications reach. We offer a clear, considered view of the conflicting interests and complexities of a modern global world.

Please note: this is the French-language edition. The English edition is available as a separate app.

The iPad/iPhone edition brings you selected pages from the latest issue as soon as it is published. Within the application you can upgrade to full access, which brings you every page of the issue and a searchable archive of back issues (to August 2006). Issues are not sold individually - for the duration of your subscription you have access to every issue in this archive.

During your subscription you can sync back issues to your device. These will remain in place if your subscription expires, unless your device removes them (for example when running low on disk space). Re-downloading issues requires a current subscription.

• Swipe or tap the page edges to flip to next/previous page.
• Use the animated thumbnail view to flick through the pages.
• Pinch or double-tap pages to zoom.
• Switch between single or double-page view.
• Search the current issue or the archive.
• Tap any page links to web sites, email addresses, phone numbers or maps.
• Tap contents-page links to jump to a particular article.
• Sync the latest issue to your device for offline reading (requires wi-fi).
• Sync additional back issues by tapping the stars beside their names (requires wi-fi).
• Network connection required otherwise.

We recommend first running the app within a wi-fi area so it can sync the latest issue to your device - after that you can use it anywhere. Subscribers will receive new issues automatically via Newsstand.

Subscriptions are available within the app at the following prices:

£2.99 per month
£42.99 per year

In addition, please note the following standard features of auto-renewable iTunes subscriptions:

• Your payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions will renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal by going to your Account Settings in iTunes after purchase.
• No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during active subscription period.

Pros and cons of Le Monde diplomatique app for iPhone and iPad

Le Monde diplomatique app good for

I was waiting for this for a long time. The cost of $4 for 30 days worth it as it is less than the paper copy.

Despite the fact that the application may fail occasionally like any other in the market, this is a serious competitor against The Economist and the New York Times. The beauty of Le Monde diplomatique is its thoughtful & neutral articles in a monthly circulation that eliminates the distraction of daily news personal Tweets and Blogs. However, it must be read with a clear mind, without distractions... over an espresso and croissant naturellement! Le Monde diplomatique is not a newspaper, its a perspective.

Sure the text gets somehow blurry when u zoom in but it is still better compared to paper. We re not talking about a "paper" here, this is a reference. So you want to carry many issues (how can u do that on paper and how many trees is that :)) LMD, A family favorite since the 70s.

Some bad moments

Despite in-app subscription, doesnt work anymore! –Infinite loading wheel. Martin.

When you zoom, the text does not adapt. Few features and I cannot manage my subscription settings.

Vert disapointing application, when you zoom thé text a bit it appears blurry. Its difficult to read an entire article in these conditions. For 5$ we could have more than a bad scan of the paper edition.

Poor application, unfriendly to read, zoom is blurry, look even worse particularly when compared to Le Monde application which is great to use.

How does one of the best newspapers in the world wind up with the worst app in the world? This might be tolerable on iPad but thats not the point. Scrolling around and pinch-swiping a gigantic PDF-like facsimile of the print edition is pure torture. Free is too expensive--and limiting the content will NOT entice me into subscribing--not if this is how Ill have to view it. Affreux!

Le Monde diplomatique has often Illuminated complex issues with some of the finest analyses one can find in a newspaper. However, they have not understood anything about the changing environment of e-publishing. This is not an app, but a very unsophisticated advertisement that tries to sell you digitized PDFs of the printed copy with no real digitally-specific content for $50 a year. I understand now why people feel cheated or taken for idiots. Sadly this attitude dates Le Monde diplomatique and anchors it to a dying business model. Farewell to what once was a cutting edge publishing landmark.
