Great app, but there is an app-killing bug
I hope the team fix the stored article feature. After a while of using the app, it doesn’t store the article even if it shows the “ heart” icon.

App crashes to view saved articles
I love this site and was excited to get the app. I got the app about a year ago or so and noticed immediately the app would crash whenever I tried to view saved articles. At first I thought the app was still getting figured out and didn’t mind it. But till today, the app STILL crashes to view saved articles. The fact this simple bug still hasn’t been fixed is beyond me. Fix this simple bug and this app would get 5 stars. I don’t understand how this hasn’t been resolved.
Terrible flicker
Articles are nearly impossible to read as they flicker and reset back to the top constantly.
It won’t open and the developer won’t help
I really love this app when it works. After the last IOS update, it refuses to open. I’ve tried contacting the developer on their site but their Capcha isn’t working so I can’t submit a request for help. How can I restore this app so it works again?
Stopped work…
This app stopped working on my iPad after updating to the latest version of IOS. But, the app works on my iPhone after the latest update.
Website is much better
Phys.org website has ads, but that’s much better than being forced into a subscription with this app if I want to read more than ‘Spotlight’ articles.
Why serve ads when I’ve subscribed?
also blue hyperlinks are hard to read when in dark mode on with low screen brightness
Unreadable
The dark blue typeface used for hyperlinks renders it unreadable against the black background. You need a lighter colour.
Needs Stage Manager Support
This app would be great if it was supported by iPadOS 16’s Stage Manager mode…
Not a lot of effort
Good content but not a lot of effort was put into making this app user friendly
