DISCOVER Magazine App Reviews

Does what its supposed to do. Photos come alive on an ipad. Easy to navigate, download and read

When will you get up to speed and format this for iPad?!!!! To pinch and zoom to read is way to cumbersome and difficult to read. Look at all the other great science magazines like Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, National Geographic, American Scientist, etc that all have done it right.

I only wish less of the online version was taken up by advertisin!

Great magazine! I read it cover to cover every month. The app could be improved by eliminating the opening page and going directly to the liberay. You could, also, include the date my subscription expires so I can plan on renewal.

please allow print subscribers to get this. Id like to be able to thumb through an article or two during work downtime.

An excellent app. Its all it promises to be.

the magazine but wish the app would remember my last location.

Very informative

I love Discover magazine. It is very informative and well written, but the app leaves a lot to be desired. I have to download the magazine every time I launch it, otherwise I only get black screens instead of pages. This makes it impossible to read the magazine off-line.

I cant tell you how much I love this app :)

I just subscribed and started using this magazine app. So far its great and what I was hoping for.

A wide rage of topics. Always looking forward for the next issue.

Ive been a reader of the magazine since the 1980s (when it was called Science 84, Science 85, etc.) and there is none better for the lay reader that contains solid science reporting in an attractive and entertaining format. The app exactly replicates the magazine layout, a design choice that has its pluses and minuses, but it looks good at the expense, somewhat, of ease of navigation and intuitive interface. Id give it five stars for content and three stars for interface. Still, I like the app version enough that I havent gone back to the paper format.

I love Discover. Great variety of topics, with coverage that is in depth without being beyond MY depth. I used to subscribe to Scientific American, another great magazine, but the articles were way too ....scientific...for me. discover is perfect, and the app is easy and intuitive to use.

I have read Discover, since I was an elementary school student, through the adult I am today. It is at once better that some other, more populist magazines, which while fun, dont present or give access to the hard sciences, and other more academic magazines, which while giving the access, can fail in accessibility. From saving money as a kid for the next issue to now, I, and now my daughters, cant wait for each issue, and use it for our own literature surveys when we get that first taste from Discover. A real tradition to this day!

This is the worst customer service ever! Downloaded the app. Bought a year subscription. I was super happy and could not wait to start reading the current issue. But I could not access it. I tried the "restore purchase" as suggested, but it said "failed to restore 1 purchase, try to download it individually, you will not be charged for it". Wrong! Less than five minutes later they had charged my CC. I called their customer service to see if we could work things out, but the lady could not care less. She kept saying that I needed to contact Apple to have them cancel the charges. Fine, but I wanted also to make sure that everything would be in order for the upcoming year. She just did not want to help me in any way and told me to call Apple and have them cancel all the charges. I did contact Apple and they were able to reverse both charges. Sadly I wont be reading this magazine but if they dont care to have customer then I will never recommend this magazine!

No complaints. Reviews should look at the content and ease of use only

Need more improvements for Smartphones.

Easy to use and fast.

I love having my Discover magazine with me at all times
