Never got a chance to use it once since I installed it. Been waiting for a fix. If it doesn't resolve soon will uninstall

V70%

Wish there was a way to save articles

K70%
by K####:

Only takes up about 1/3 of the screen on a tablet, with no option to zoom. Also seems stuck in portrait mode. Not a pleasurable reading experience.

N70%
by N####:

Not loading at all for me. Really hope you can fix it! Tried uninstall/reinstall. No luck. Just that loading circle when I launch the app until my phone tells me the app isn't responding.

I'm really looking forward to a working update.

V70%
by V####:

Gets the job done and is presented very well. As good as you'd expect an official app to be

U70%
by U####:

Any app that can't be moved to SD card deserves one star

B70%
by B####:

Well done guys, I thought I'd check if there was a plos app and was pleasantly surprised when I found this. I like it, it's easy to read and use and I like the way you present the articles in a list. One of the things I would like to be able to do is to press on the pictures and open them. Don't forget to make them zoomable and good quality and avoid making us have to download them and open them outside of the app because navigating back to apps after opening pictures is always annoying. Thank you so much!
