The function to subscribe via app has an ERROR/issue for those of us in the USA (i.e., no PayPal/GooglePay or a 'like' option; it says it takes pre-paid debitcards but won't take one by MASTERCARD—forcing me to use my VISA eventually). It is a good thing I'm tenacious or I'd had given up; versus trying 3-4 different cards to gain 'PRIME'-level access (especially since each card used HAD funds available)! It also errored out *everytime* i tried choosing the $5/mo option—forcing me to take $39/mo!

Good app with nice features but it's slow. It takes a while to those animations to play out. Ui is good but this puts me off. So if possible may be put little focus on app optimization.

I would like to research multiple topics. this app can only focus on one at a time. you don't teach fundamentals and build from there. it's easy to get lost in the info suggestions.

Great!! However, its quite the opposite on my Chromebook in terms of navigation and just about everything. I hope you could do something about that. Thanks in advance.

Forces you to register to access any content. You can delay registration by clicking "I'll do it later" but then when you actually try to read an article it's blocked until you register.

It's a nice app to read an abstract for free on awesome topics and when you purchase you get extra proses of journals to read.
