Ratings and Reviews
Terrific Resource
Informative, insightful and thought-provoking. A great help in clarifying and extending my historical knowledge and understanding which benefits my teaching History to secondary school students.
Content good — poor app
The app has a number of very annoying behaviours, which together make it tedious to use.
1)For a start, half of the “Issues” page, which displays the editions of the magazine available to download and/or read, is taken up with very annoying scrolling banner adverts. The ads aren’t even targeted—they keep urging me to take out a subscription, even though I’ve already done so.
2) It insists in operating in Portrait mode, even when I’m using my iPad in landscape.
3) Not all of the content that is available in the print issue or via Zinio is available via this app. In particular, the crossword is missing. I enjoy the crossword. It doesn’t have to be on-screen interactive: with Zinio, or any other app that allows me to take a screenshot of a page, then print it out, I can do the crossword with pen and paper. But this app denies me that option.
4) I value my privacy. Even though, within the app, I turned off Tracking, I later discovered more tracking switches hiding in the app settings under the iPad’s main settings—and these were still turned on.
Disappointing
This app has some problems that make it too frustrating to bother subscribing:
- It doesn’t support landscape
- Because of this if I accidentally tip my iPad sideways when I put it back it has lost the scroll position in the article
- If you leave and re-open an issues it forgets where you were
- It doesn’t support the full size of my iPad
- The app title is too long and so its gets cut off on the home screen as “BBCHistoryMa...”
- There are in-issue links (good!) but if you click them there’s no back button so you have to search for which page you were on
All of which shows that this app doesn’t get the time & development attention it deserves; there is some good content here but it’s let down by the app.
