Research Digest

Since 2003, the British Psychological Society has been digesting new research in psychology. Visit the blog at http://www.bps.org.uk/digest for a huge archive, back episodes of our podcast and much more. We now digest at least one new journal article every weekday, aiming to demonstrate that psychological science is fascinating and useful while also casting a critical eye over its methods. Our Editor Christian Jarrett and Contributing Writer Alex Fradera are both qualified in psychology to PhD level and they read thoroughly all the peer-reviewed research they report on. We strive to write in a style that educates, entertains and generates interest, but without resorting to hype.For much more psychology, see http://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk and download The Psychologist app for iOS and Android.

I've been using this app for quite some time now and I love it! One sma remark from a UX side - clicking back doesn't take me back, but exits the app and it's a bit frustrating :)

Just get to their website. Once you open this app, it downloads huge amounts of data for a bunch of articles which are largely textual.

Disdopointing not many articles you'd tap in depression in search bar and nothing

Easy reading and all kinds of valuable hints

Perfect. Exactly what I have been looking for.

I was glad to see there's an app to read research digest articles on me phone. I just have an issue with using the 'back' button on my Samsung phone which doesn't just take me back to the home screen of the app but exits me from the entire app. So the only way to go back is to scroll up to find the button on the top left. Very inconvenient, otherwise great work!

The only issue I have is the fact that it always starts off with the latest news article. It should go the the homepage with all the different types of articles as its a hassle to keep going off an article.

A bit glitchy and clunky at times, so there's plenty of room for optimisation. Though content-wise, 5 stars!

Crashes/hangs frequently on a Samsung phone, but restarts quickly. Loads of info, would be nice to search but great app! Oh and a link to the article isn't included when you share via twitter, but is via email.

Great app but it would be useful to have option for switching off notification sounds for the app. If installed on Samsung tablet i have to switch off all tablet sounds otherwise this app blips very often with new articles! It is useful to have the notifications appearing but not with sound...

This along with the Psychologist app has made reference tasks and storing of relevant articles easy. Will have to use it a bit more to notice glitches if any.

Good way to view recent research. Haven't found any way to search for specific research other than generic type but it provides a decent synopsis

Har. L. Jun 30, 2016

Been looking for something like this for ages! The only issue is that it's difficult to see what each article is exactly about on the summary page, as the titles are cut short.

Such a great idea, but programmed without respect for security. It can start itself without my permission? -access accounts info without my permission? Check it against a security app like Sophos. Then please fix the potential security problems to make it better. TIA.
