Scientific American app good for
Makes reading SA on the go a great experience. Well done. Thank you!
I like the choice of font size. I can now read the digital version.
Search is not so good unless I am not using it properly. Last time I used it, I was not able to search for the second occurrence of a certain word. It always found the same occurrence of the word I was looking for.
And I would suggest a new feature: I (and most readers) would find it very useful if l could put a bookmark at the point where I stopped reading for the night so that I can return to that spot the next day.
Excellent magazine for those interested in broad scientific issues.
Every time some new approach is taken, there are always critics.
But Scientific American is great as it is
I always seem to be asked to buy an issue even though I have subscribed. Last time I logged out then back in and then could download the current issue. However the issue presentation often beats print.
I have been reading SA for over fifty years. Im trying to eliminate paper. This does a great job of providing all the content.
Some bad moments
This latest update for tablet app clearly doesnt. All the interactive features are gone. The resolution is lower on iPad Pro. The images are embedded awkwardly. An unpleasant reading experience overall.
This used to be a great app. Please fix these issues which clearly everyone is complaining about. Otherwise you will lose many subscribers, me included.
Some feedback from SA will be appreciated. Show us that you care please!!
Ive been going around and around trying to figure out how to get my downloaded issues back... Incredibly frustrating!!
The latest update has spoiled a once excellent app. A once simple task, deleting editions that are no longer needed, has been made convoluted. Graphics, previously an excellent feature, have been cut back drastically. In an effort to allow variable font size, the look of articles is now spartan. Shame.
I am glad I can finally use it in landscape mode. Beyond that though, its just boring. It used to feel like a replacement for, and even more than, the paper magazine. Now its plain, rigid, exactly one pic per article, zero layout effort, no web articles, no one minute entries or interactive pages. If its only the words of the articles you want, then this is the transcript application for you. Want to replace the paper magazine and save a few trees? Its not a replacement. I will seriously consider going back to print for my next renewal.
How many times do I have to enter my user and password? Not very convenient!
Does not run at all on iPhone or iPad with all current versions verified. All logs sent to support but for 2 weeks they are still not interested in providing any customer service.
Love the print magazine, but for one that professes to be so technically knowledgeable and cant fix a simple logon issue...
This can only be described as intentionally neglectful.
