Phys.org

Wow! I have been using the Phys.org app for years and this most basic of app functions hasn’t ever worked — the app would always crash on launch — but today it did. I wonder what changed… Well, nothing it seems. Back to normal crashing the following day.

Still crashing after the iOS 17 update. Removal re-install does not help

Crashes under iOS17 on my iPad but not on my iPhone.

Would be awesome

The latest version of the app appears to pick up on accelerometer readings and uses them to reset the open article to the top, while it is being read. This rather dumb behaviour is extremely annoying. While I am complaining, how about fixing the Technology topic so that it displays articles later that July 2019? On the plus side, at least embedded images and video usually display correctly now. It used to be the case that one had to open the browser view to open images (sometimes still true) and play videos. The Phys.org content is excellent, as ever.

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.

Articles are nearly impossible to read as they flicker and reset back to the top constantly.

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?

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.

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.
