Ratings and reviews

I would like to use flipster to read magazines from my library and I periodically try. it requires my 14 digit barcode every time I log in. and it doesn't allow my phone to save it. that's crazy. also, I can't easily find what I just downloaded. sure, I can waste time figuring it out and remembering it but that's what programming and computers and apps are for. I really wish flipster was effective, but it's just too much of a pain to use

Good when it works, but i have had numerous issues with the app. It keeps asking me for a login/password instead of just my library card number. I contacted the support dept and they continue to tell me to do things I've already told them I tried. My issue is that the page that should load (where you enter you library card #) after you choose your library does not appear. Instead it asks for a login/password and gives me an error message. No one can tell me what to do. Useless app and support.

Was able to log in effortlessly, and nice that there is access to a multitude of magazines. However, the app leaves alot to be desired, outside of navigating and reading, it does nothing more (except "bookmark). An immediate function that is lacking is the ability to favorite magazine titles, so you dont have to look for them everytime. Stitcher is a good analog. App does its job, but leaves alot lacking, very unfortunate.
