HSJ - Health Service Journal for Android
I have a subs for website content but you cannot access the same content through the app - daft! Surely they'd make more money from greater access for any level subscription?!
Crashes on updates....and this is a new app.
Doesn't work
It took several contacts with emap to get it working and the result is so sad for a media company! It takes over a minute just to switch on, by that time I've lost the will to live. I switched from receiving the magazine by post to just the App at a saving of +£4 despite not having to print it, sort it, stick it in envelopes and transport it around the country, the app still arrives later than the paper. Twonkers! Think I'll cancel the whole subscription ...
Got a nexus 7 and no content will be downloaded! Must be an NHS project..... EMAP's definitely of soon and the rest of the world's looks like it is at odds.. Uninstalling!
Alas does not download content onto Nexus 7.
I downloaded th app as soon as I came out for android because I like reading magazines on my tablet. I find this one difficult to find things, no button to go back and impossible to tell which is part of the magazine (i.e what s new and fresh, selected by the editor) and part of online content. Items that are weeks old appear as new headlines.Irritatingly the app keeps asking if I wanted to download it or the latest copy of the magazine. Erm... I though this was the whole point
I know this says "tablet" but I tried it on my HTC One and at least it accepted my username and password although the screen would not resize at all and was unreadable I then thought I'll try it on my Nexus 7. Now readable - although it only uses part of the screen and I thought the app had frozen. However it will not accept my username and password although it gives no indication of error. Just keeps asking for it every time I go to read an article and gets in a loop so I never get to the article.
Having read the original magazine I was looking forward to reading it on the move. Needs a lot of work just like the NHS _ no strategy no planning cannot scale up or down cannot rotate cannot zoom basically not fit for purpose.
HSJ has produced an app that is poor quality, a poor reflection on HSJ for releasing this. You cannot view in portrait, the layout is terrible. HSJ should look at the economist app which is very good.

The tiles for each article are not readable. Once you go into the article it is readable. Very time consuming. You have to keep opening a tile to find out if it is a topic you are interested. I would suggest you go to the mobile browser for HSJ it is a much better layout.
