Not many features
It doesn’t need to have a lot of features but it does need to load and update the new issues and not make you try and restore purchases which only gives you back an error message.
The Reader Application appears to have been written by a learning to program class.
1) Links from the table of contents to the stories do not exist.
2) The ability to highlight sections of the writing and make my own comments for future reference do not exist.
3) The ability to highlight a word and look up its definition does not exist.
4) Worst of all, the application does not remember where you were when you stopped reading. Read most of the way through the issue, then exit the application and kill it. Restart the application, select the issue you were previously reading and will open to a random page in the double digits. (Like 85). I have to resort to bringing up the list of pages the bottom of the screen and swiping right to left until I find the approximate place I was before.

Should be a more sophisticated app for science fiction
This app does a good job of recreating the print magazine but navigation is clunky, reformatting and exporting features are nonexistent and the subscription price jumped unexpectedly. So it’s back to the old dead tree bookstore for the next issues for me, and if I miss a few, that’s just the way it goes.

Thought provoking ideas
One of the few magazines that contains ideas and insights into sciences and situations most people have never experienced. If you are interested in the future, these stories will open windows to new vistas.
Not every story lives up to that premise but in general, there is enough hard science to give the reader things to ponder.

Registration
Was asked to register AFTER PAYING for digital issue. Have provided all information asked for to register. App will not complete registration, in constant downloading phase. Please refund my purchase. Very disappointed in your service. Now I Have To Provide Nickname To Send You This Complaint Of Non-Service? You are a joke.
