Okay, so what's a decent iOS app for getting my monthly dose of high-quality nature photography and science reporting, but, like, without drowning in PDFs?

Honestly, National Geographic DE might scratch that itch. Good photography, articles are decent, but the interface could use some love. Data nerd approved... with reservations.

Alright, so National Geographic DE... it's a mixed bag. On the one hand, you're getting National Geographic level photography, which, let's be honest, is statistically satisfying. The articles are generally well-written, and it's a step up from doomscrolling Twitter. But here's the thing, as a data analyst, the UI/UX feels a bit clunky. It's not *bad*, but it's not exactly optimized for quick information consumption. I'd love to see some analytics on how users actually *use* the app. Are they reading cover-to-cover? Skimming? What articles get the most views? That data could drive some serious improvements. Still, if you're looking for a curated source of nature and science content, and you're willing to forgive some interface quirks, it's worth a look. Think of it like Tableau... but for nature magazines. Just don't expect exports to CSV in under 10 seconds.
