Biblical Archaeology Review

The app is basically unusable. After zooming in, if you try to scroll to another part of the page, it zooms back out. Everything is jerky and slow, even on a current iPad Pro. Avoid the app until they get the ui fixed.

Don’t waste your time downloading this app. I can’t get it to work with ANYTHING. I am a digital subscriber to BAR but if I can’t use this app to access the magazine and library, what is the point of subscribing?

This app just takes the print layout and digitizes it. You need to zoom and pan to read anything.

After years of being a loyal subscriber, and trying to go digital with this app, it is terrible. Does not load, can’t zoom to read, or even go to the next page. nor is printing and option. Save your money….avoid.

I do not recommend this app, and that does not concern its contents. The problem is that the app settings give you no way of updating or resetting your password, if you forget it. Since I forgot my password to access the app, it has been nearly two years since I am not able to read the magazine. The website does not help either. This is the only app that does not allow you to reset a password when it is forgotten. I will let the subscription run out and will not renew it. I have been wasting my money.

So I finally subscribed to the digital subscription. I love the archive section and being able to view any magazines at a click of a button. Unfortunately when I click on the downward arrow to download the article, the article clearly showing the download process but can’t seen to find it anywhere on my iPad Pro. After contacting Apple support they suggested to reach out the developer and resolve the issue directly with them. So is anyone else experiencing downloading issue such as not knowing where the downloaded files reside?

Logged in fine, but when I try to access any sort of function it takes me to an instruction screen that will not close no matter what I tap. Impossible to read the magazine. I feel I got scammed

I love BAR but this app is abysmal. So many problems and bugs. Can’t use search unless you go to web version. Just a mess.

I subscribed to BAR in 1994 and I love this periodical. They have given me a year free digital subscription for renewing my subscription. I created my account with BAS, and I run this app on my iPhone and iPad. Apps on both devices work well. I will explore more and report back, but so far, where ever I have one of my devices (and the internet), I have every copy of BAR. One last thing. If anything would make it better I would love to see the search engine work for subject searches, not just title searches. So, if I want to read articles about the book of Isaiah and archeology related to Isaiah, I just search for it. Dr. Cargill, please keep up the great work! Jay Angerer

I have a subscription on another device and can’t even sign-in on a new device.
