Maybe....

The magazine itself is terrific. But since I am going blind, I could no longer read the magazine and was no longer able to download it as previously. I called and found out the policy had changed. So here I am paying for a new digital subscription, and hoping it's OK. BUT it didn't start out well because it's rather fussy about passwords... requiring my Apple rather than Smithsonian password. I understand the need to keep non=payers out, but for those of us disabled, it becomes very difficult to keep this stuff straight. I don't put up with it from most digital magazines, but do with Smithsonian because the magazine is so good. Marie Barry, Beverly MA. 01915

The best general knowledge magazine in the universe

Please keep this going. For anyone curious about the world, your magazine is fabulous. Your contributors are the absolute best. You could do a bit more on India, though. We're over a billion people and a 3000 year old culture. Maybe we deserve a page or two? If you need contributors, let me know. I do comedy history.

Awful

Months have passed. Still no change. Terrible update. This app went from a great update to a basic PDF viewer. I've contacted Smithsonian several times to ask if it is going to be improved and have received no response. I'd cancel, but I can't even seem to do that from the "updated" app....

Lousy I want my money back

Here it is months later and I still can read the issues. Was once a great app, now it is ridiculous and frustrating

Horrible

The app has gone from user friendly to simply cheap and lazy. Sadly the authors probably don't read these comments, else a fix would have already been issued

Once great, now awful

Terrible update. I had been away from Smithsonian for several months and "disappointed" does not begin to describe what I experienced when I got back to reading, hoping to catch up on several months of unread issues. This is an awful, horrible, terrible, crummy update. It completely destroys the look and ease of reading the digital version. Smithsonian should be embarrassed by what they've done. One star rating is much, much higher than what it truly deserves.
