1 ★ Can't get past log in screen. App locks up.
4 ★ Much better than the app I reviewed 5 years ago. Kudos.
5 ★ Works great for me. Very convenient.
1 ★ Despite seeing others who had given the app a poor review, I remained an optimist and tried it. The download was smooth, the initialization screen about data collection was agreed to, and then...the blue ARRL splash screen was as far as it would go; no menus, no options, no buttons. Nothing. My phone can handle any app on the market, so I know the phone and/or software version aren't the problem. Very disappointed, as I was looking forward to having the digi-mag version as a travel option. 🧐
3 ★ Overall the app is good (not bad or great). For each new available download (monthly), I've get "Login Failed". I have not expired, changed my username or subscriber ID and yet it thinks it is wrong. Currently it thinks I have no subscription and yet it expires in 2022! Once I get passed that problem, the app is better. I use a Galaxy S10e with maximum internal memory. Currently the amount of memory the app uses is not a problem but storage on a uSD would be nice. I have not yet found a way to remove an issue I have downloaded.
4 ★ Good way to review magazines
1 ★ Memory hog, I was well over 1gig with only 4 issues downloaded. However the main issue is it downloads the latest issue but you cannot open it. You would think that an organization that proclaims technology as one of its corner stones would figure out a way to manage a digital magazine, but apparently not.
1 ★ horrible. even if you download and save an issue it is extremly slooooow. would be nice if you could store downloaded issues to sd card instead of using up internal memory. maybe i will try it again later but uninstalling for now. you are better off opening the issue and print to pdf, then you can copy the pdf to your phone or tablet and read it with any pdf reader.
2 ★ Loading and turning pages are very slow, far away from smooth. The app does not remember the last page read, it is difficult to continue reading in trivial time. Saying that enjoying QST is more like struggling. The two stars is for the android app idea and high quality images... However, it doesn't look like what ARRL does... How about make QST available in Amazon Kindle or Google Play Books for ARRL members? Why not recruit real Android software developers to make the QST a proud ARRL app?
4 ★ On the Galaxy Tab S3, the app has improved since its introduction and is completely stable. It doesn't need Zinio or other reader; please don't change. One improvement is needed: the table of contents page numbers nèed to be live. The ability to jump directly to a specific page would welcome.
1 ★ This is the fattest magazine I subscribe to...others take up far less space. And yet, THIS app is the only one that CANNOT be moved to the SDcard in my tablet. Just 2 issues would come close to filling my internal memory. All other issues (slow, crashes, etc) are just further failures of this app.
1 ★ It won't download anymore. Very disappointed. I won't be renewing my membership.
3 ★ I really like the app put I just wish the app would support text to speech. This would help the visual blind and when I listen on the way work or at night when falling to sleep.
1 ★ Not surprised ... Been away from HR for almost 20 years. I see not much has changed with ARRL. This has to be one of the worst apps ever. How many ways can a digital reader malfunction? Sheesh! NL7VL
1 ★ hasn't worked since the last two updates. Even contact QRZ support and they could repair my account. Now to wait for my printed copy to show up. deleting this app. How about a -5 stars!
