I've not had the login problems, lost subscription problems, or app crashing problems others here have had, and I am a subscriber, not through the app but through the SCIAM website. The only reason I did not give 5 starts is the lack of help info. I simply want to know WHERE are my downloaded issues stored on my device (Samsung Tablet) and that is nowhere to be found.

Update is badly needed. Says I have no current subscription. The content is otherwise fine as long as I can access it. Please fix!

The digital version is very very bad, terrible. It promts you to pay a new issue even if you are a subscriber. You logoff and login again and still does not work. The graphs are imposible to view. The letters are either too small or too large. It's been like this for years. It seems they don't care. They don't fix it. What a shame. A diservice to the editors because the content it top, first class.

Superb app and excellent magazine. The need to re-enter my credentials to insure the app I am still a subscriber is a bother; but not to drop to a 4 star review.

Although I am a subscriber, I just can't download some issues - I mean, sometimes I can, while most of the time the only option is to buy an issue instead of downloading it. It seems totally random. I can read the same magazine issues online without a problem. Also, even when I'm logged in, it says I'm not authorized to see my own account details. That's a very poorly designed application.

The content is great and easy to read. However, the app keeps forgetting me and tells me I don't have a current subscription and some of the previous issues I've downloaded now cost me $6.99. This happens about every couple of months. SA has helped but the only cure I've been given is to log out and then log in again. Of course most of my downloads are lost so I have to reload them all again. SA knows but has not fixed the problem.
