### 3/5 — Good resource.. but

*2026-03-18*

Good resource, but needs to be easier to PDFs to use elsewhere

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-09-13*

I really like this app. It’s well designed and easy to access individual articles for a quick read or catch up with Psychology news, or go a bit more in depth for a proper read up on the Psychologist magazine. Really well done!

### 5/5 — The space to ponder and wonder psychologically

*2020-08-09*

My writing may be poetic, an aspect recently acquired as I am a lover of science & psychology. I came to appreciate the art though, to find a psychological space for the art. I know the art may come in usefully in the therapy room. If I am referring to the Psychologist as a space to ponder and wonder, I am referring to the opportunity   provided to present information on various aspects of the psychological profession. All with the aim to bring together the knowledge and understanding we create in the ways we shape the very nature of our practice. I would love to write an article for the Psychologist in the future. Until then, I will read enthusiastically to grasp the knowledge it has to offer.

The Psychologist is a wonderful resource at all stages of professional development. I am honoured to have a place at its table - again, metaphorically speaking. All love to the psychologist. 🙂

Also, the app is accessible so good work & bravo 👏

### 5/5 — The Psychologist

*2019-01-16*

Always an excellent read.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-02-28*

This app is great for downloading issues, and reading them online wherever you are. 😊

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-01-21*

I love the Psychologist, and I also love having everything in one place and being able to read on my iPad. So I was very happy when I discovered this app. It works well and I've had no issue with it. I only wish there was a way to unsubscribe from my paper copies, as they're just a waste of paper for me!

### 3/5 — Magazine fine, app rubbish

*2016-11-29*

The app loads very slowly, and the magazine layout in the app, for me, is poor.  The magazine itself is fine, I prefer the hardcopy.

### 4/5 — Does what it says......

*2016-11-25*

.... on the tin, adding value to membership and giving extra if you can take so much with you, any/everywhere from student, to professional. I use it all the time and recommend it all the time.

### 5/5 — BPS Psychologist

*2016-10-17*

Surprisingly informative and well presented (& I'm a member); so much more than what used to be published. Thank you for the work you editors put in.

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2016-08-16*

Wide range of research that you can read and very up to date. Love this app very easy to use!
