Leave a Review DISCOVER Magazine
Good but needs improvement
I've read my first issue (Jan/Feb 15) and enjoyed it very much. The only problem is "clipping" articles. If the articles are sent through the app, the resulting email can't be read. So, clipping an article requires a screen shot, etc. It would be nice to clip and send a readable article directly from the app.Show lessVillard2.2
Works but very clumsy

Content: great, app: frustrating
The content is what you'd expect. The reader, however, is not. While it renders beautifully, it regularly "snaps" back to the top of the page. If, while dragging the page during reading, you bump into the left or right side, the view snaps to the top again. I believe the app sees this as a navigation from the previous or next page, even though you never left the current page.
It happens to me at least three time for each page I read, and I'm being careful. Infuriating!
[downgraded to one star to lash out again at the awful navigation app. I cancelled my subscription solely due to the impossible UI]Show lessZan320
The application itself is a problem.
The magazine is a great read, but why must this app be so difficult to use? Sometimes it doesn't load. Other times it won't let me turn the page. iBooks got it! Emulate their design.
If it wasn't for the dis-functionality of the app, I would give it a well-earned 5 stars.Chase1098

Great app!Salami888
formatting doesn't translate well
I only took a look at the preview content, but it looks like you basically reproduce the printed pages verbatim, page by page.
This doesn't well on my mini ipad, as I keep on having to scroll around to read even one printed page. Basically this is a deal breaker because it's such a clumsy way to navigate around a page.
Take a look at the wikipanion app for a better to handle it. you're better off dynamically reformatting the content based the device screen size. again, take a look at wikipanion as an example.Show lessginobean
Great app
I haven't had any of the quitting problems others have seen. The Discover app works great for me. Awesome photography and editorial. Maybe those with problems should delete the app and reinstall it. I've had those type of problem with other apps like Sport Illustrated and GQ. I think this is a hardware issue with having the app open while updating.Show lessWade07
Needs Immediate Attention!
This app crashes every time I open it on iOS 7.0.2. Only way to fix is to uninstall the app, reinstall the app, restore purchases, then redownload every purchase. Needless to say, this is time-consuming. Then, the app works fine ... for a few days. Inevitably, the crash problem comes back, and I have to redo the ridiculous reinstall procedure just to get a few more days of reading before it goes into constant crashing. As such, this app is unusable. And if I'm going to pay full retail prices for a digital copy (I must be crazy!), then this business model is a failure. I might as well just buy it off the shelf at the store - at least the print copy doesn't crash! Please fix, or lose another customer. (FYI, also happens with Astronomy Magazine.)Show lessr3mdh
