Poor implementation of a magazine newsstand and a PDF viewer. The worst is that the PDF magazines downloaded through this app are password protected, so only this app can be used to open them. Fortunately, the workaround is to login to your qmags account online and download non-password protected PDF versions that can be viewed with a better PDF viewer.

The irony that the world's best engineering society would choose one of the world's worst apps. Constantly freezes, is slow when it doesn't, jiggery, looks like an elementary school kid designed it (ever heard of "material design"?) and on and on.

It lags and it's not very smooth when moving from a page to another. Come on Engineers we could do better than this.

Love the magazine, but hate this app. Panning is arduous when zoomed - it jitters and jumps, typically requiring at least 2 tries to get it to stay where I need it. If it doesn't improve soon, I'll switch back to paper :(

Zooming is no issue, and every smartphone user is used to it. However, the page moves away/is not oriented with the finger 'OnTouch', and becomes difficult for the eye to re-focus. Fix this, and its gona be a very good smartphone app.

I would prefer the ability to control where it downloaded the magazines. Zooming sucks, since it doesn't support double-tap to auto-zoom.

I found that there where several graphics issues with weird artifacts appearing all over the display in the menu. Also the scrolling performance is terrible when zoomed into the magazines and it is really only feasible to view the full page.

A engineering society app that couldn't have had any testing done at all! Can't use it because it is so slow it seems frozen!

Too many bugs to count here. For the most part, it makes this app unusable. Hoping to see some more development soon.

Works like a pdf viewer, just slower and more stupid. Magazine is not at all optimized for smart phone. Not recommended. Just download the pdfs and use a good pdf viewer.

I asked the app to send me my password. It sent passwords to two different email accounts and sent one of them in THE CLEAR! I never could find any online tech support either. i'm still hopeful that I can make this app work.

This app is useless for actually reading the IEEE Spectrum magazine. When you view a whole page the text is too small to be legible. But if you zoom in then you're constantly scrolling around, which is very slow. When will publishers learn that they have to reformat content to be useful on mobile devices?

Clunky, doesn't properly download content that you expect and are entitled too. Sneaky method to avoid publishing costs. help requests brushed off with 'it should work, log out and back in again'. Highly dissatisfied and disappointed. Poor service, poorly engineered app.

It used to lag a lot on my previous phone and I thought it was an issue with my phone but its not the case , it lags like hell on my new LG G2 . Can't believe this is from the worlds largest professional organization.

To the developers, please stop using this custom app nonsense and just use the newsstand. Your app is awful!

The app now works, but still not comparable to Google Play Newstand or iBooks on an iPad. Zooming is laggy, turning pages is jittery, and the skeumorphic design taken from iBooks looks very out of place on Android. Not to mention the Android 2.1 loading bars are very put of place if you are running Jelly Bean. The app does not provide any more value than a PDF reader would. It is pretty obvious that this was made by some shoddy outsourcing firm.

Now syncing issues are solved to a great extent , a lot of work still needs to be done in the UI , I love the ebook reader in it though.
