Each bimonthly issue comes packed with solid, well-grounded content developed with an eye to keeping readers informed and guiding better engineering and design choices.

Uninstalled it

It might be ok, but it kept trying to make me purchase the magazine. Supposedly ACM members have free access to acmqueue but the app doesn't seem to be able to log me in using my ACM credentials. So I just decided to forget it and uninstall it.

ACM member subscription

I installed this app again now that it supports 64-bit iOS. Even though I am signed in with my ACM account in the app, it still thinks I have exceeded the number of “free preview” pages I can see. I have a current ACM membership so I should not need any other in-app “subscription” should I? I tried sign out / sign in again but still not working. Maybe the developers would like to test that the most common usage scenario actually works before releasing the next new version?

The Worst

It is still impossible to use in a plane :(. On start the app checks subscription, so if you do not have internet you cannot read. The only way is to open app right before the flight and praise that iOS wont push it our of memory.
Second - it cannot scale, all devices have HUGE margins
