No working links, cannot copy, if I want more info about a topic in an article, I have to exit and search for it. The hard copy magazines are better. Needs serious improvements. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2021-02-18, version 2.0.16* This app keeps crashing when I open it on my iPhone 8 running IOS 14.4. It starts then immediately crashes ### 2/5 — The app must be updated *2021-02-04* I can’t get access to my magazines... ### 1/5 — Needs an overhaul. *2020-12-31, version 2.0.15* Freezes and crashes all the time. I have to close the app and reopen to do anything. ### 1/5 — Crashes on iPad *2020-12-31, version 2.0.15* After showing a splash screen, the app immediately exits. Unusable. Tried reinstalling - same result. ### 1/5 — Crashes on iphonexr running ios14.0.1 *2020-10-10, version 2.0.13* As per title, I cannot even load the app. It crashes on loading the splash screen. ### 2/5 — Crashes, cannot oen *2020-09-04, version 2.0.12* Continuously crashes after trying to open a notification ### 1/5 — Poor user interface *2020-08-30, version 2.0.11* I use it on the iPad and the user interface is in need of a lot of improvement. For starters, magazines get out of focus, I had an extra white bar appear on right side of magazine that I couldn’t get rid of, sometimes zooming on a page blocks out text on right side, just taping the screen(usually by accident adjusting my hold on the iPad) causes it to zoom out. All of this is bad enough, but for me the worst thing is that it doesn’t support horizontal reading. It really just needs a whole rework. ### 2/5 — download button has no effect *2020-08-28, version 2.0.11* I cannot download the Spectrum magazine. Pressing on the download button shows a progress bar, but nothing seems to happen. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2020-06-24, version 2.0.10* On my iPad mini and iPhone SE 1st gen,. Fix it plz. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2020-06-05, version 2.0.9* Sorry but the quality of this app is zero! It gets blocked millions of times! Especially on the iPad! 😡 ### 1/5 — Terrible magazine interface *2020-01-26, version 2.0.5* Everything about the magazine interface is terrible and while having a digital copy of a magazine is usually more convenient due to added features, in this case the print version would be far superior. It’s glitchy, slow, you can’t highlight or clip, external links don’t work, and it’s unintuitive. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor quality app *2025-04-25, version 3.4.12* Neither able to download magazines nor to read magazines in PDF format. Poor quality app - bugy, not user friendly. Really disappointing for such a big and renowned organisation. ### 1/5 — Can't login *2024-07-09, version 3.4.5* Email address input format validation error even a valid email address entered. ### 1/5 — Sign in doesnt work *2024-03-29, version 3.4.2* The app faces problems as trying to make the sign in of user. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-03-24, version 3.4.1* This app has had issues on my ipad with latest ios from day 1 and now I can’t even sign in with my ieee password ### 1/5 — Does not work. *2023-06-02, version 3.3.5* Cannot read the Computer Magazine either "online" (only the cover page shows up), or the pdf (nothing appears, although there is an indication that it has been downloaded). ### 1/5 — Magazine zoom in is not good and there is no panning *2023-03-22, version 3.3.4* I found it difficult to read the IEEE power electronic magazine online using the app on my iPAD. When zoomed by touching the screen once you cannot pan to see other parts of the page. It just zooms out to the default size which is not readable. Needless to say, on a small phone it is completely useless. It works fine for spectrum and industrial electronics so why not for power electronics? IEEE you can do better. ### 1/5 — Does not meet expectations *2022-10-28, version 3.0.1* The downloaded pdfs don’t have navigation features and if you try read content online you get 404 errors. I would have thought there would be a way to peruse the table of contents of publications and easily read articles of interest but not seeing it. ### 1/5 — Bad update *2021-10-16, version 2.0.23* App is crashing when I attempt to open it. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2021-03-30, version 2.0.17* Cannot open the App. It crashes every time i try ### 1/5 — Pile of junk *2021-03-25, version 2.0.16* For the leading professional body one would expect more. I could not get it to function correctly no matter what. Tried login apparently I miss typed the password, but it would never let me try to login again, wouldn’t even give the login prompt again, just told me options weren’t available. This on top of the orientation being locked. Really expect better than this. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — All god sahastranamam app *2025-10-31, version 3.5.0* Good ### 5/5 — Great Start. Needs certain enhancements. *2018-12-16, version 1.8.0* It is off to a great start but needs certain enhancements. ### 4/5 — Good App with Potential Improvements *2023-01-01, version 3.3.1* As a new IEEE member, I feel there’s a lot to love about the app. However, I think the online reader should be implemented a bit more “elegantly” across the board. For example, some magazines are easy to read with the ability to scroll left and right while others require up and down scrolling. Consistency would aid the ease of use and general utility of the app. Additionally, some of the UI interaction is tedious. For example, adding interests is tough when you can’t read the whole interest name. I may just be picky at this point but just a note! ### 3/5 — Current IEEE President *2022-07-12, version 3.0.0* Hello, my name is Alex Quilty, I am currently the IEEE CH4 Calumet Region president, and I am learning how to use your app. I really love the idea of the app because it helps students and others learn what their membership allows them to do, and what kind of tools and information are available out there as well as being able to see your membership # at a quick glance is super useful. However, this app needs serious improvements. Some parts of the app are downright unusable, for example the Privacy Settings does not even properly appear on my iPhone SE2 w/ iOS 15.4. Some parts of the app are just broken, or very odd at times. As much as it pains me to say this, the app needs a lot of work. I look forward to this being a better tool though for students in the future. ### 3/5 — Decent App *2022-02-01, version 2.0.27* Online reading across magazines is not consistent. Decent navigation for Spectrum and strictly PDF for Software. Needs the ability to save your place when reading abs exiting the app. It’s very frustrating to have to remember where you were and navigate there each time. ### 3/5 — Good app but navigation needs improvement *2021-05-18, version 2.0.17* Done button at the bottom needs serious improvement. This review itself within the app is showing up as white text. So clearly some style sheet issue or basic navigation need fixing. Love the content, however needs a better UI, search and fundamental back and done type navigation. Needs to work properly on iPhone 12 or newer phones in general. ### 3/5 — UI needs a complete rewrite *2020-06-21, version 2.0.10* It works, but the UI is frustrating. It’s not flexible enough for a phone, but it doesn’t support tablets in any meaningful way. Only magazines show up for content also which are usually just hype articles, and hardly any nitty gritty useful articles. ### 3/5 — Ieee card in Apple wallet *2018-10-27, version 1.7.1* It would be very useful to make the App able to use Apple wallet for ieee membership card ### 2/5 — Decent start with problems *2024-08-20, version 3.4.5* Decent start. Adding membership card to Apple Wallet does not work. ### 2/5 — Many bugs *2024-05-06, version 3.4.4* This has many bugs, as it says that you can you ieee card to the apple wallet, but you can’t. It tries but sticks on a loop. This is a wide spread problem, when the developers are just contractors that don’t care for the product. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
