Reviews

Very poor experience

DrCollossus on

Firstly let me be clear - this is a review of this app, not the content. I enjoy the content of this magazine and have been reading it for decades. But this app is awful. In fact it’s fundamentally broken and not for for purpose. The problem is that you can only use it when online, which makes it effectively a website. Downloading a new issue takes forever, and it can’t be downloaded in the background. This means you can’t use your iPad while it’s downloading. And then once it has eventually downloaded, you have to be online to read it. Want to download an issue or two to read on a flight? Forget it. Never mind that this is something people would almost certainly want with a magazine. The developers have known about these issues for years and have chosen not to fix them. If you want access to this content then don’t let this review put you off. But if you subscribe I just want you to do so knowing what you will be in for. And I want the developers to be called to task.

Need to uninstall and install every time i want to read an issue

IBICAa77 on

I bought heaps magazines issued for last few years and was very excited. But I’ve got an iPhone and after downloading an issue and click on read - the application just disappears. If I open the app again and trying to open new issue again the same thing happens over and over. The same happens on my iPad. Can’t get to read anything, wish I never bought it 😞

Interesting articles

Cccaidos on

High quality as usual from the BBC, although I expected some articles to be a little longer.

APP DEVELOPERS PLEASE READ

Voyager123 on

The current version of this App does NOT load! The developer website, does NOT load! App Support, does NOT load!!! What's going on? Apparently updated bugs fixed only weeks ago? mmm not good.

Focus

Feedupwithfocus on

Do not make the mistake of purchasing any magazines you won't be able to download them, and when you request help you will get a generic email offering no support in response, I used to really enjoy this magazine it's a real shame it's been spoils by such poor service

Problems

A great "pop" science magazine. A truly good read, informative and interesting.

Wammyc on

My favourite magazine. I love the fact that I can have every issue in one place. Every month I look forward to my latest mag.
