Ratings and reviews

This is the best of the many "popularized science" magazines. It comes from the UK but the contributions come from throughout the world. The level of background might be classed as "advanced beginner without need for a math background". Anyone from high school on up will be able to understand and enjoy their presentations. I'm a major fan. (You need to subscribe to the digital version. It's not expensive.) If I were to offer a suggestion, it is PLEASE PROVIDE A SEARCH FUNCTION! Thanks!

You broke everything with this "update". Even dark mode doesn't work anymore (black text on black background). Where's the downloaded area? Why can't it remember where I left off reading anymore? Whoever tested this rancid pile of code should be sacked. Clearly the engineer didn't read the review. Dark mode doesn't work, not because you can't turn it on, but because you can't read *black text on a black background*. And tapping "magazines" shows all of them, not just the ones you downloaded.

Nice app, useful articles that are handy to keep up to date with science. The only issue i have is that content is not cycled quickly enough. E.g., on 4 out of 5 visits i only find 1 or 2 new articles, and if they don't happen to interest me I leave a bit disappointed. Consider more frequent updates and adding Earth, Chemistry, and Society sections, which are only available if you log in with a Web browser but not via the app.
