Amazing Application! Well thought out and executed

By R.Middlebrook (Pcmac user)

While I understand the issue of pricing, the application itself is amazing. You can really tell how long and hard the design team spent rethinking what a online magazine could be. I have purchased every online magazine available for the iPad and there are simply no others that come close. I have stopped reading magazines all together due to the bulk, wasted paper, and the inability to keep up on what issues I had read. Now, it's as easy as a keystroke. When friends and family ask me what makes me love the iPad, I simply show them the future of print technology contained in this app and USA Today. This is simply the future. Anyone not on board will feel like they are still selling or using floppy disks. This makes virtually every other media print resource obsolete. Couldn't be more excited about how we obtain and digest our information.
Gorgeous, But Shallow

By mortarman81mm (Pcmac user)

I'm very disappointed by this app. I expected content comparable to the print version of the magazine and that's just not the case. Although the app itself presents absolutely beautiful images, navigation is random and unintuitive, and app is extremely light on content. One interface device they've employed that's actually kind of nice is the ability to hide text so you can view the imagery without clutter, but it doesn't make up for the other UI issues. Articles are shallow, and there just isn't much "there" there. If all I wanted were pretty pictures of science and technology topics with pithy commentary I would stick with USA Today, or some similar mass media outlet. Additionally, rather than downloading the current issue to your Mac for synchronization, it downloads the current issue upon launch, which is extremely poor implementation, IMHO; I don't want to have to wait 90+ seconds to read the magazine after launching. This app would be worth it at perhaps $0.99, but definitely not for $4.99. I would suggest the editors at PopSci go take a look at Wired, which hasn't skimped on content at all and is a better model (though still needs improvement) of how to deliver content in the iPad era.
Annoying to use

By PatHMV (Pcmac user)

I can deal with the large size of the files, but a number of problems make the size of the files particularly problematic. First, I can't tell it to automatically download my newest issue automatically at some point when I'm not actively using the iPad. Second, today I spent 10 minutes or so downloading an issue, really wanting to read that issue over lunch. After it downloaded, I tried to open it, only to be told that I needed the latest update to PopSci+ to read it. So I downloaded the update, which took only a minute or so. But then, I discovered that I had to download that issue AGAIN, from scratch! Ridiculous. Also, developers, please add the ability to tell it to STOP a download. I accidentally clicked to download an issue that I didn't want to read, but then there was no way to stop it. At least the latest version allows me to simultaneously download a different issue, but that dual download undoubtedly slowed both downloads down considerably. If I click on the meter showing the download progress, that should give me the option to stop that download for now.
Dismal

By Donresto (Pcmac user)

What a great way to get a magazine, I first thought, no trash to throw out or recycle, and this app tries to spiff the digital issues up with videos and animations, which I must admit are clever, but often do nothing to enhance the story. The first glitch I noticed was that the videos often lost their sound. The touch interface often does not do what I thought I was asking it to do, I really think it is a case of too many options, (vertical,horizontal, touch, double touch) a swipe that is just a little off is read as sideways rather than up and down. The final insult was the common one in all of the bad reviews: when a new issue appeared on the news stand app icon, I would go to my library only to find that not only was the new issue not there, all my past issues were gone! The last two months I was able two restore the issues using the "missing issues?" button, but this month - NOTHING! I tried to access my account, but it told me that none of my passwords would work. There should be a way to contact popsci easily through this app to tell them about the problems, but I look through the app in vain, maybe you can do it through the inaccessible "my account" ......A good idea, but poorly done..
