### 5/5 — Does what it promises

*2020-07-11*

I actually like this publication because 
A. it’s useful to my work as a middle school science teacher and B., the corporate funding underlying most “impartial education” efforts isn’t too visible, at least. You know like seeing the Koch brothers name plastered on everything at the American Museum of Natural History that totally kills your science buzz.

### 3/5 — Okay app

*2014-07-02*

This app is used to view issues of Science Scope. I have had it installed for a while but do not find it all that convenient as the journal takes quite a while to load, and pages then seem to need to be re-loaded when viewing. So it is okay, but you need some patience and persistence and a fast Internet connection to use it.

### 4/5 — Wish you could highlight...

*2013-12-04*

Love it but I do wish I could highlight the text in the articles.

### 5/5 — Science Scope at my fingertips

*2013-11-06*

This app is a great addition to a subscription to Science Scope and membership with the NSTA. I can now refer back to any issue of the journal on my iPad without searching through paper copies. Great move!

### 4/5 — Science scope

*2013-06-13*

I like having access when I want it and not searching for old copies! Online, paperless is my goal, this makes it just that much easier.

### 5/5 — Very handy

*2013-01-04*

I love to read on my iPad during faculty meetings ;)

### 5/5 — Science scope online

*2012-12-24*

I have really enjoyed using the online copy of science scope.   I wanted something to read to help my current topic in school but I did not know where I had put my copy that I wanted to find.  I remembered about the science s ope app and went to it and immediately had the past versions available for me to read.  Very convenient.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2012-11-12*

This is a great way to access Science Scope.   While I'm not ready to give up my paper copy, this is awesome.  No clutter, I can email tidbits to friends and I love being able to tap a web link and go directly to a related / referenced article.
