1 ★ The first four issues of my subscription loaded and look fine, but now I'm stuck with no new ones. The last two print issues have come and gone, but never showed up in my library.
4 ★ Once I was able to figure out how to log in as a subscriber (and that was actually a slow, drawn out process), the app has worked fine. A good alternative to the paper version of the magazine.
1 ★ The app does not fill up the screen - enormous amount of black space around
1 ★ Smart mag. Dumb app. Never would open on my Xoom.
1 ★ They inexplicably stopped adding issues in June so now the only way to read them digitally is to get an iPad or pay for a separate subscription through Google Play magazines. Don't bother with this.
1 ★ I cant even get past the intro screen because I cant swipe to the side to find a continue or menu button. Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. App seems to be hard formatted for 10 inch devices. Uninstalled.
1 ★ This only uses about 6" of my 10" display and no option to resize.
1 ★ Barely works. And when it does it's unstable.
5 ★ App is easy to use and straight forward. Current issue downloaded and was available to me in less than a minute.
1 ★ The introduction page seemed to be frozen in a zoomed in state. Couldn't even get this app started.
3 ★ Works fine on Nexus 7. Lack of background downloading is a real flaw and scrolling could be smoother.
5 ★ Keeps me interested & thats hard to do with magazines/books.
5 ★ The app worked great
2 ★ really needs to support high resolution tablets
1 ★ I was hoping that this would work since the type in the print issue is too small for my old eyes. The app would not accept all of the account numbers of my account plus the sign in page is too small. Seems like they would have perfected this before they plastered the " now available for tablets" notices all over the current print issue. I see that this magazine is also offered on Goggle Play but I can't find a current print subscribers option on it, like they have with TIME.
