I'm loving the new update. I really like the read out function and the layout. The dev team have done a excellent job. Only thing is though I lost about 6 of my magazines with the update, it's asking me to pay again for them when I had the full collection before.

I like the BBC Science Focus magazine but this app is a terrible place to try and read it.

Zan. L. Apr 15, 2022     

Doesnt load.on my fire hd 8 for some reason, says the app is only suitable for the %1$s platform.

I have subscribed to Focus from the very first issue in the early 1990s. I have paid for a digital subscription over the past 6 years BUT via my Kindle. This app is of no use to me whatsoever. Surely if I buy a digital copy it should recognise the fact I have paid to read it.

I absolutely love the content of the Focus Magazine. However, I need to uninstall and reinstall the app every single time I want to download a magazine. Otherwise the magazine downloads to 100% and the loader continues spinning indefinitely. Please fix this!

The response is weird. Always scroll in and out wrong columns while reading. Crucially, it doesn't work with Android and IOS in one purchase though it is available in both stores. …written by Science Focus Magazine's die hard Fan for 2 decades.

Пав. К. May 20, 2020     

Just one thing you can do with this app is looking on pictures. You can't read the text because of the its size. Articles isn't prepared for reading on a mobile screen

Rob. S. Feb 26, 2020     

I love the magazine but am getting the same problems as every one else. The support are relatively slow and didn't respond to half of the problems/queries in my email to them

I've subscribed to the focus magazine for many years, this app and online content make it even better!

Jesus CHRIST THROUGH FAITH SAID THAT HIS KINGDOM WAS NOT OF THIS WORLD. HIS RESURRECTION TOLD EVERYONE THAT THERE IS A GOD AND HIS WORDS WERE TRUE.

Bog. G. Aug 2, 2019     

i have bought both the digital subscription and the magazin and i am unable to viee the digital content even after working with their support.

Vit. K. Jan 17, 2020     

What's the point of buying every issue via app in untransferrable format? I am already paying tv license without watching it.

Pam. B. Aug 23, 2021     

This seems to be a shopping app. You have to purchase the issue to read it. There is no free content available.

Nig. C. Mar 3, 2019

Hate clickbait

A. G. u. Jun 29, 2018     

Just keeps crashing whenever I open an edition. Support just say that it is "intermittent" and they are working on it. Thank goodness for the free trial so that I don't have to waste any money on it.

Wil. B. Jun 4, 2018     

Magazine keeps stopping or fails to load. Waste of time.

Osc. T. Jan 20, 2018     

Nothing free... Just paid subscriptions. The Smithsonian app is much better.

AND. D. Feb 24, 2018     

Do not buy this...it is lauded as fully interactive and it's nothing of the sort! No audio or video as described, clunky page scrolling and no facility to save articles. Learn from the New Scientist quality app!

And. K. Jan 6, 2018     

This did not run on Android 8.1.0. It just sits and spins.
