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.

I generally like the app, although the subscription is quite expensive. However, I have issues with listening articles, in most of them it doesn't work and it's still stuck in one I listened to a month ago. There is also somehow lack of diversity in topics, I miss more on biology related feeds while there are many about one same topic (loose weight drugs). Those could be grouped together so my feed feels less cramped with the same topics.
