It provides no interaction, it's like going through scanned versions of the journal. I find reading articles from the online edition of journal easier. ### 1/5 — Half baked at the moment... *2012-02-06, version 4.5* Login function crashes upon execution ### 1/5 — Embarrassing App *2012-02-04, version 4.5* Crashes and takes forever to download content. ( I can only presume it was never tested). I would stick to website. Not good ISACA! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2012-01-04, version 4.5* The app looks great, but every time I try to read anything it pops up a login window. After I log in I can't get back to the app. I hope the developer fixes this. ### 1/5 — IPad app has features that don't work *2011-05-06, version 4.1.2* Feeds and Library don't work. The iPhone version's features are different and seem to work ok. Please fix! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cannot log in *2020-03-08, version 33* App is not optimized for iPad. There is a cookie pop-up that I can't get around during login, hence I cannot login ### 1/5 — Poor offline support *2018-11-01, version 33* The app keeps failing to download the magazine for offline access. The download starts and then aborts at about 71%. ### 1/5 — Horrible app design and no improvements ever *2018-10-23, version 33* This apps is totally useless if you want to go paperless. Graphics, design, resolution, latency, etc. all poorly developed and without considering a smooth and friendly user experience. I will need to switch back my ISACA preferences and start getting my printed copy. Really awful app ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2013-12-29, version 6.4* This app needs an update. sign on is horrible, no landscape navigation, UI is not intuitive. The digital journal should have an option to export to iBooks. The list goes on. ### 1/5 — Useless app - log in doesn't work *2013-05-19, version 5.3* Completely useless version of the app as the sign in page doesn't work. It just displays an error message: "We're sorry this page is unavailable. Please try again later." ### 1/5 — BAD! *2013-05-06, version 5.3* Does not let me login...seems pretty useless app! ### 1/5 — One-website browser *2013-02-19, version 5.3* I already login to my mobile device and ISACA when using my browser. Now I can only access content in a reduced format after logging into this app. Since this has no more value than the browser itself, less so since you can't browse anywhere else and you take up space on your desktop. If you are worried about ISACA members not locking down their mobile devices, reduce the amount of information that can be accessed via the app. I'll access ISACA via desktop for now on (it's 1999 all over again) ### 1/5 — Can not longer login to view journal *2013-02-06, version 5.3* This application used to work pretty good. It is now not working for me at all. The biggest gripe out side of it no longer letting me login is that you have to login every time you open the app it could at least have an automatic login that periodically validates your subscription. ### 1/5 — Bogus *2012-10-01* Lame app doesn't even work freezes the screen Shame for the ISACA ### 1/5 — Terrible *2012-08-30, version 5.0* Bookmarks do not work for articles. Issues do not download. Simply awful ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2012-04-02, version 5.0* Great app from isaca... Keep up good work... ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-01-31, version 4.5* Works great - I can take the journal and read on the go! Well done. ### 5/5 — Great implementation *2011-09-15, version 4.5* The journal format is beautiful, maintaining the quality of the paper journal. The interface is not quite as intuitive as it could be, specifically for selecting which issues to download for offline reading. Overall, however, a great app for a great resource for IT Audit and Governance material. ### 5/5 — Basic and does the job *2011-07-19, version 4.1.2* Journal in my hands and can now read it when ever I want. Tech support is super fast and super responsive to my problems trying to log in. I do wish you could highlight items to save or share. Currently you can only share an entire article. ### 3/5 — Not much help for offline reading and no retina support *2012-07-26, version 5.0* The content is great, as is the journal. However, having to log into the site in order to read the journal is a serious drawback. The app has also not been optimized for the retina display on the new iPad, so the text is annoyingly fuzzy. ### 2/5 — Difficult to sign in *2013-09-12, version 6.4* . ### 2/5 — Takes too long and crashes *2013-01-08, version 5.3* Good app however it takes too long to load and then crashes ### 2/5 — Doesn't download journals with IOS 5.0 *2012-01-06, version 4.5* Up until I upgraded my iPad to IOS 5.0, it downloaded he journals properly. After that, it just stays after the logged in home page. Need a bugfix. ### 2/5 — Worthless? *2011-09-05, version 4.1.2* No free content, and nothing saying how you actually gain access to the magazine content. All I can see are thumbnails of pages that are too small to read. Do I have to pay? Where at? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
