Better than a browser. One issue is that when I click a link I'm the app it opens a browser window which isn't signed in so prevents me from reading the article. Is there any way around this?

It's ok but perhaps needs greater quality control and article categories. The first article I read featured sloppy writing and editing, despite being an article reviewing a book as, "sloppy". Also, for a leading science publication to have so few article categories is frustrating. Neither Biology nor Chemistry are there. You might find what you're looking for lumped into 'Health' or 'Environment'. The website is better at this, so this is just a gripe with this version of the app.

Ok I like to listen to the audio for the magazine issues. For three years on two different Android phones I encounter the same issues of the audio randomly stopping mid track and the history randomly adjusting on an almost daily basis so tracks already listened to are back in the up next list. Back 1 year later and it's now even worse you can't even listen to the edition any more you have to add each article manually.. I am finally done unsubscribing
