"I already pay for a regular, paperback subscription but for the convenience of an electronic version I need to subscribe again?! Mr. Shermer, please review this obvious problem, I expect goofy oversights like this from lazy, stupid publications, not from Skeptic Magazine."

"Buggy, absurdly slow, and the ``free preview`` is pointlessly crippled. You MUST create a Pocketmags account before installing to use but this is explained nowhere. Avoid until a newer version is available. (november 2012)"

"Terrible. For such a great and modern magazine it`s odd they`re using such a terrible platform. Will subscribe again when using PDF quality format, like Newsstand."

"I discovered by going to the skeptic website that this is the official app for the magazine. Overall it has great functionality and I did not have any of the purchasing problems that other reviewers have had. 1 reviewer said that you have to pinch in and out, and this is true, this app does not have an easy read mode like the other magazines on Google Play. But for me personally I am so used to reading PDF documents on my iPhone that reading this on my Nexus 7 was great."

"I like how I always have a skeptic magazine in my pocket so I always have something interesting to read. It is a much better way of filling time than twitter or facebook. But it could be so much better: 1- Either increase the resolution of the scan or have the text in text form so it can scale to any size(My phone has a full hd screen and all the text is sharp but skeptic magazine is blurry) 2- Tap to zoom and horizontal scrolling should go the way of the dodo(please look at apps like currents and the verge) 3- If you implement text think about a dark theme(white text on black background) 4- Like another reviewer said: why not give acces to all editions?(I can only read one at a time and what does it matter which one I read?) 5- The articles themselves are as always beyond awesome."

"Cannot restore purchased issues, as promised. Though purchased digital and
printed version, has stopped. Have emailed publisher three times. No
response. Enjoyed articles I was able to read, have been robbed of
purchases. Maybe this review will help. If so, I will update. To SKEPTIC:
Please respond."

"On a 7`` screen the text is too small to read without zooming in. However, you can`t turn the page without zooming back out. Reading an article becomes a tedious exercise of zoom in, scroll around the page, zoom back out and turn the page. This routine must be repeated on EVERY page."

"Yes, the app is free but you must obtain a paid subscription or buy individual issues. I purchased a subscription but only received one issue. It says I need to pay for the newer issues."

"Does not allow me to preview or read anything. Just wants me to subscribe or buy an issue. Most likely is either a fraud app or been hacked by creationist."

"If you want to subscribe forever then you may not have a problem. However I had to change my email address. Although it will allow me access subscription magazine if put old address signing in, it refuses option of cancelling on the site/app`. Apparently I have to do that via Google. Unfortunately as aforementioned my Google account has a different email. Skeptic doesn`t allow backup email address so I`m stuck paying for this magazine that`s not a shadow of original...forever?"

"Preview works fine and it zooms in perfectly. No issues on the Nexus 7. Certainly a good read I will consider a subscription"

"Skeptic is the best magazine out there. A good dose of common sense in an increasingly bizarre world. I love having it on my Nexus 7 where I can read it wherever and whenever I want."

"I downloaded the app. I signed up for the free trial annual subscription. It had no trouble performing that function, signed me up effortlessly. It`s been two hours now and I can`t access the magazine. I have conversed through email with the company but so far all of their efforts are not getting me a viewable version of my order on my apps. So, someone on staff manually entered my subscription, then I had to deleted the app and reinstall. Now the issues I ordered say they are downloaded but I can`t view all of the pages. On some of the pages there is just a big grey bar that covers about 80% of the page that is supposed to be viewable. I hope I don`t have trouble cancelling this because it is far too much trouble otherwise. I am really disappointed in this app."

"But, the resolution is too low. When you zoom in to a column, which you need to do to read comfortably, the text becomes blurry."

"Android has a very capable text-to-speach converter that. apps may hook into. This app needs to tap into that magic that`s already on my phone and start reading to me while I`m driving. An example of an app where this is well implemented is Pocket (formerly Read-it-later). Also, a screenshot reader is not enough. It needs a text mode so text can be resized & reflowed."
