Having been a subscriber to this fine publication for many years, it has never failed to deliver. The quality of the graphic images, and the consistently high level of journalism, is exceptional. Further to this, it keeps one abreast with latest scientific developments. Highly recommended publication

Firstly let me be clear - this is a review of this app, not the content. I enjoy the content of this magazine and have been reading it for decades. But this app is awful. In fact it’s fundamentally broken and not for for purpose. The problem is that you can only use it when online, which makes it effectively a website. Downloading a new issue takes forever, and it can’t be downloaded in the background. This means you can’t use your iPad while it’s downloading. And then once it has eventually downloaded, you have to be online to read it. Want to download an issue or two to read on a flight? Forget it. Never mind that this is something people would almost certainly want with a magazine. The developers have known about these issues for years and have chosen not to fix them. If you want access to this content then don’t let this review put you off. But if you subscribe I just want you to do so knowing what you will be in for. And I want the developers to be called to task.

Science Focus has been my go to magazine read for years now. The articles are all well written and easy to understand. I mean, you need to be interested in science and engineering but you don’t need a degree to understand the articles. Now I’ve switched to digital it’s even better as the back catalogue takes up no physical space. Imagine that! N NI it every article is up my alley as it were but each magazine is, there is something for everyone in it.
