Ratings and reviews

If I could rate this app is zero I would. The constant unable to log in because of username and password error makes it almost impossible to use half the time. I won't even discuss the inability for a screen reader to work with it. People have been complaining about this absence. It was reintroduced years ago and nothing is being done about it.

This new ARRL Magazine has the same problem as the QST app it replaces. That is, it's nothing more than a photographic copy of the paper edition. So, although you can use pinch/squeeze zoom, it's unusable on anything smaller than a 10" tablet, since the text doesn't reflow. This means lots of horizontal scrolling, like reading a book through a telescope.

Update: This app is much better than before, but I still can't use it on an airplane because it demands I be online to verify my ARRL membership! Bookmarks have been added and the interface has been updated to allow scrolling between multiple pages. Panning around the page when zoomed in is also improved. But the app sometimes crashes. Now, after working for weeks, it would not show and pages or download editions. After reinstall, it worked. I still think a Kindle version would be far better.
