How do I log in?
I’m already an ACM member. Why does the app want me to subscribe again?
The Worst
It is still impossible to use in a plane :(. On start the app checks subscription, so if you do not have internet you cannot read. The only way is to open app right before the flight and praise that iOS wont push it our of memory.
Second - it cannot scale, all devices have HUGE margins

ACM member subscription
I installed this app again now that it supports 64-bit iOS. Even though I am signed in with my ACM account in the app, it still thinks I have exceeded the number of “free preview” pages I can see. I have a current ACM membership so I should not need any other in-app “subscription” should I? I tried sign out / sign in again but still not working. Maybe the developers would like to test that the most common usage scenario actually works before releasing the next new version?

Constantly starting over
Every time I open this app to continue reading an article I am placed back at downloading the list of issues and verifying my subscription. Then there are all the issues. Then I tap the most recent issue I was just reading 10 minutes before and wait for it to download again (really, we can't keep it long enough to read it?).
Thankfully most of the time after all that drama I end up at the page where I left off, but occasionally the app decides that I must start over from the beginning.
Do the developers actually use the app to read ACM Queue?
Do you want to see how this should work? Try The Economist app. Download means it's downloaded. Open the app and your exactly where you last were. Bookmark pages. Save pages via the share page.

What were they thinking?
Why did ACM choose to deliver this magazine as an app, rather than (say) a PDF?
And then the app provides only an overview and an chance to purchase(!)
I already have a subscription.
I am giving this one star only because i cannot give it zero.
