App started working

Doesn’t work any longer and crashes out. Also you loose your saved and favorited articles.

No articles

App just tells me "no more articles", for all journals. Crashes when I try adjusting the settings.

The app stopped working on iOS 15. Please fix the bug

App Crashes Upon Opening Every Time

I cannot even use the app; it crashes every time I try to open it.

When I was able to use the app, it was not a user friendly experience.

Please update the app

I have used this app almost every day and like it for the most part however unstable updates have always been issue

Thanks for fixing the bug!

App is so helpful!

Update WAS horrible, works now!

12/7/17 - Newest update works! I don’t see anything better than what it was before the new interface, but at least it’s back to a very useful app.
11/14/17-Latest fix to the update is still awful! Yes, emailed abstracts are back to a useful format, but very often no abstracts even load. Blank page for ASAP’s. Zero stars until this gets fixed. What was the point of this update?

Problems with this update are non-trivial: images associated with abstracts load slowly or not at all, and when an abstract is shared by email, the awkward, long URL to the mobile acs site is the title and text of the message, rather than the much friendlier format of the email from the previous version.

If this isn’t fixed, the chemistry community has lost a valuable tool for quickly viewing abstracts on a mobile device. I used the old version nearly every day, and sent myself useful articles 2-3 times per week. I won’t be doing that with the current version of this app.

Would rate it zero stars if possible

terrible

I cannot accept a great and big scientific community like ACS can’t make a reliable app!

Update ruined it

This was a good app. I used it almost everyday. It was updated a few months ago and is now unusable. It is slow and the text is too small and the pictures load too fuzzy to make any sense. I hope they just go back to the old version

One star for a big bug

Why it clear all my ASAPs after updates. It’s getting worse and worse. Not about content but the app itself. :( :(

please fix it

used to love it. doesn’t work now. asaps no longer load.

Bad experience

Really bad than the old version,cannot loading the image and abstract!!!

Horrible update!!! Ruined a great app!!!!

This used to be the best app and the best way to stay up to date with new Chemistry. After the latest update, nothing loads properly, the abstracts don’t look as nice, and I can’t zoom in on full articles?!?!!? This is terrible!!! I want the old app back. Please fix all these bugs!

A rushed update

It seems the bare minimum was done to update the app for 64 bit compatibility. The interface is significantly less professional and the ability to use personal credentials rather than institutional ones to download papers is MIA.

New update needs some tweaks

Overall it looks like someone did the bear minimum to update to the new UI; doesn't look all that clean or professional. ASAPs weren't saved, but since they gave that notice ahead of time it's understandable. Biggest complaint is that you can't zoom in when reading the PDF - how else am I supposed to read the article on my phone?

Quick fix

Great app. Very efficient to keep up with articles. One complaint is that during update you changed the format when sharing. It used to have a link and the title. Really want that back when I share by email so I can search the emails later.

Terrible update

After the update all saved ASAPs are gone and, I suspect, are irrecoverable. New version has no option of sharing saved ASAPs in bulk, only one by one. Why did you do this to us???!!!

Needs to be updated to 64 bit

Will stop working with next iOS update.

Keyboard Issue Solved

Really a nice and useful app. For anyone having issues with the keyboard for searching, try double-tapping the search form. That made a keyboard show up for me.
