LET ME LOOK AT SAVED ARTICLES
Absolutely infuriating that I can not look at anything I have saved.
Good design, missing key features
The Phys app has been a great source for me to read current articles and news. But the app is missing two very important features:
1) There’s no search option. I can’t search for keywords of topics that I’m interested in, so I’m just at the whim of what the app presents. This option is available on the browser version, why not the app?
2) You can’t sync your ScienceX account to the app. So any saved articles don’t transfer over to the app.
If these two issues were fixed, I’d use this app much more!

The app crashes when you tried to view saved articles
If you try to click on the little heart to view your favorite articles, you are met with crash. The end. No articles. No fix.
Update: if you uninstall and reinstall, and then choose the restore purchase option, you can now access your favorite articles folder, which is completely empty.

App crashes to view saved articles
I love this site and was excited to get the app. I got the app about a year ago or so and noticed immediately the app would crash whenever I tried to view saved articles. At first I thought the app was still getting figured out and didn’t mind it. But till today, the app STILL crashes to view saved articles. The fact this simple bug still hasn’t been fixed is beyond me. Fix this simple bug and this app would get 5 stars. I don’t understand how this hasn’t been resolved.
Edit: this review was written almost a year ago and unfortunately it seems the app/site developers could care less about resolving an extremely inconvenient and frustrating bug. I recommend reading articles from this site as you get the best source of immediate scientific news and research updates but anybody that can reach out to the direct developers, please do and let them know about this unfortunate feature. In the app, trying to open my saved articles list causes the app to crash.
