Many options to read from, a wide range for my needs. However, technical glitches do occur, sometimes clicking on an article to read loads some other articles. UI could have been better, and recent past issues are either not available or missing, only the latest issue of a newspaper magazine. Otherwise a very good way to stay abreast about world affairs. (not sure about value for money, I got a free corporate subscription)

The app works fine for what I need but it would be nice to be able to highlight words or sections. I like that it can read articles. It would be great if you could stop and pick up listening where you left off or go back to post of the article and play from the but it will only let you start the article from the beginning. One's in a while it starts downloading a publication but doesn't finish the item for whatever reason. Then last it will keep trying every time I open the app, sometimes months after the item was published. Other than that this app does what I need.

Absolutely terrible navigation, as has been mentioned in other reviews. Also, I'm accessing the app through my public library and there is no intuitive way I see to stay signed in, so I have to go through the whole cumbersome process of selecting my library and entering my library card number and password every time I open the app. Contrast this with other apps offered by my library where after establishing your library credentials, you can simply create an account with your email and password.

No longer able to get the print version of my local paper delivered so the e- edition was my only choice, which was fine for reading the paper. Problem is the crossword puzzle, which was a deciding factor for subscribing to the paper can no longer be screenshot to print out the puzzle as there's no other option for accessing this feature. I'll finish my paid subscription to the paper and cancel it and press reader if screenshots are no longer available.

Bookmarks don't actually bookmark pages in mags, it just bookmarks the magazine itself. Editing interests don't do anything because all it shows is top stories, politics, sports, etc and not specific interests I have selected. I have contacted support but at this point I'm not wasting my time trying to help them to make their app work the way it should. Deleted app.

This app is usable on my mobile phone, but it's difficult to read some magazines on such a small screen. It's absolutely useless on a Kindle if you want to sign in with your library card because it won't let you sign in, it just says that there's been an error. This is really annoying because a Kindle screen is much better size on which to read magazines. A lot of people have left reviews about this, but the company has done nothing to solve the problem.
