Back from the Dead

This used to be a fine, free science article reader, then it stopped working for months. Now it's back and improved. The free version seems to be limited to downloading just a few articles per day. I'm about to plunk down $5 for the full version now that I've decided it's worthwhile.

Not working

The lite version is not working. I have used is for a long time and all of a sudden there is a message that says no server connection. It has been like this for a month. App is useless now.

App appears to be broken

Both the latest iPhone and iPad lite versions of this app appear to be broken. They never download any new articles, and the iPad version says it has no data connection! I have uninstalled them and reinstalled them multiple times to no avail. The content was great, but no much good if I can't access it. I emailed their support, a week ago, but they never responded. Hope they fix this. I was going to buy the pay version of this app, but then this happened.

Nice app, but...

This app provides for a great collection of stories, nicely displayed and organized...when they eventually download and are accessible. On my one-year-old iPad this only seems to be accomplishable once in 3 days. Perhaps content is more frequently downloadable in newer models of iPad

Good and it's free

Basic selection of science articles, updated once a day. Not as good as the full version, but this is for free and without ads.
