Every month seems to bring a new problem with the app. The latest is the "Internal Error" message which renders every issue unreadable. Reinstalling the app doesn't help. Frustrating when you've paid for a magazine subscription and can't read the magazine. When it works, it's great, but it just has problems too often. Edit- 17/05/21 - Devs very responsive and have resolved the issue (server problem). Review updated to 3 stars. Will update to 4 stars if the next few months are problem free.

The new app is quite laggy to use, doesn't zoom intuitively and is hard to accurately skip lots of pages. The magazine is as good as ever though 🤷

Content 5 stars App 1 star. Slow, clunky, doesn't scale or zoom well

I love reading the mag on my tablet rather than having a hard copy however since this new app launched I find its quite laggy, it forgets where I was in the magazine and goes back to the beginning and the zoom function can be a bit tricky when trying to move across the page. The 2 features I really miss are: Bookmarks - so I can easily find that bit of tech I wanted & full width page when in landscape. The mag itself though is great & I like having the back issues. The smart links are good too.
