  • The app itself needs work.
    Downloaded the app and was presented with the option to choose an issue to download. Tried to create an account in-app to sync issues across devices, but account setup kept failing. The Micromags web site that manages these accounts acknowledged the problem in their FAQ, and the solution is to create an account via their web site. Did this, but when I returned back to the app, my "free" issue was gone and the app didn't prompt me to select a new one. Downloaded the app on another iOS device, selected the "free" issue, and logged in. Synchronization finally worked then on both devices. Unfortunately, the app appears very buggy. After downloading my issue, the icon below the issue thumbnail showed 99%, and would not let me select the issue to read. I had to switch screens to the purchase screen and back before I could access the issue. While reading, the table of contents only populates the front cover, and then that, too, vanishes. So, there's no way to navigate without going through every page, or using the page icons at the bottom of the screen which only let you jump forward a couple pages at a time without a lot of scrolling. You can create bookmarks in the app, but there doesn't seem to be a way to delete those bookmarks. All in all, this app needs work. The content of the magazine may be great, but the app it's stuck in is simply horrible. I should have seen if it was available in another app, like Zinio, but I'd prefer something more "native" to iOS Newsstand.

  • Needs better integration with the iPhone client.
    Since you can't leave full reviews with the iPhone client, it'd be nice if the iPad client were able to quickly access places you've checked into, so you can then leave a review. The iPhone client seems to have a lot more options, too, that are lacking on the iPad version. There should be better parity between the two,

  • Best ADN client for iPhone
    Yes, it's still the best. I'd give it five stars, but it doesn't support the iPhone 6 Plus so everything is blown up on the larger screen. I also wish it had better filtering/muting, and maybe access to trending global posts, but otherwise it's very full-featured. Development appears to have ceased in this app though, so it doesn't look like we'll ever see any improvements. ?

  • Snake re-imagined.
    Great idea for re-envisioning Snake. iCloud sync is sadly missing, so you can't pick up your status from a second device. That would go far, because leveling right now is painfully slow without using IAP

  • Rough
    App wasn't processing orders after adding items to the cart. Had to log out and back in for it to work. Not optimized for the iPhones 6 Plus. App has never remembered my credit card info. 1Password integration would be nice. More info on capsules and their intended uses would also be great.
