Latest reviews of American Scientist app for iPhone and iPad
This is a good, feature-rich app that does a fine job of reproducing the printed magazine. Easy to read on my standard retina display iPad. The mini will require a bit of zooming. Thanks American Scientist!
Maybe it works fine in Windows, but not with iOS 7 on an iPad 2. Theres just nothing that downloads, and there are no error messages to indicate whats wrong. Sigma Xi needs to give this a rethink.
I had a paper subscription to American Scientist for years. I looked forward to each issue. Then they switched to a digital format and I had to give because the website was just a low resolution pdf, unreadable. Recently I saw that there a mobile app, so I decided to give it a try. Alas, the content is still just images of magazine-sized pages, albeit with better resolution. I have to zoom in by about 500% to read anything on my iPhone. Come on, making text and images readable on a mobile just isnt that hard; even two-bit local news outlets manage it! Id really like to start reading this one again but at the moment it still isnt ready for prime time.
After updating iOS to version 9, the app opens but crashes on any attempt to read any month.
