Unable to download new issues
I cannot download new issue. Even after signing in, it still does not show the new issue. Hope they can figure out this whole access issue
Where's the May issue?
The app's great, but I got my May paper issue about a week ago and it's still not available here. What gives? It would also be nice if the issues weren't so large, as each takes up about 250-300MB currently and that's a lot if I want to keep 5-6 issues on here at once.
Update to non-retina review
Retina support for iPad 3 is horrible. Text is unreadable. Truly pathetic. I will not be renewing my subscription.
---this is an update to the above. The support for retina display has improved, but not as much as I would have liked. I re-downloaded the April issue and it is indeed much improved, however, the text in this review I am writing right now seems crisper. And why update the app, if the ads still looks like crap. Very amateur. Overall, an improvement, but why does "The Daily" look so much better, and it isn't even a science app? You will still need to improve Popsci if you want my renewal,
