Genii Best Overall History Reference

Have been involve in the performance, sales and design of magic for over 50 years. The present Genii online formatting is a reference that the entire genii readers population should thank Richard for creating and maintaining.

Great content, lousy app

The app was recently updated, and, amazingly, almost all of the issues below still apply.
In addition, issues of Magic Magazine are no longer listed as expected.

This app is badly in need of an update.

It frequently doesn’t remember the last issue being read.
It doesn’t remember the last page being read when the app is restarted or the issue is reloaded.
There are constant nag messages about there being a new issue; if I’m reading an older issue, the assumption should be that I want to continue reading it.

Users have no way to pick out older issues without scrolling through many screens each time.

There is plenty of screen real estate that is wasted with toolbars that should be hidden most of the time.

Users do not need arrows to tell them to scroll to other pages.

There are plenty of other UI improvements possible but above are the most obvious to anybody who uses the app for a minute or two.

The biggest problem is that all of these issues should have been addressed years ago.

Great if all you want to do is read the latest issue

First, kudos to Genii for making all back issues of Genii and Magic Magazine available. It had to have been a monumental undertaking.

I enjoy going back to old issues both to read and to reminisce. Unfortunately, even if I leave the app open to the page I was reading, when I come back to the app it defaults to the latest issue, and it’s up to me to remember which year and which issue I was reading.

This problem may very well be out of Genii’s hands if they are using a third party to develop the app, but come on guys! It’s 2022! It shouldn’t be an insurmountable hurdle to program the app to remember where you were.

5 stars for providing the content, 2 stars for user-friendliness.
