No longer functions

Worked well for a while. Now all it does is load blank pages when I try to open an article.
Love this app, but occasionally buggy
Wil Rogan
Since the last update opening articles brings me to my library login page and won’t let me actually login. Help, please!
Great app for grad students

In my last year of my PhD and wish I found this sooner! Definitely helps keep up-to-date on the literature. Much better than my workflow using Feedly.
Fast journal access

I began using this app again to access a range of journals I (should) read. Super fast access to quality titles organized in an accessible taxonomy presented in full PDF. The updates have been terrific. Solid, consistent delivery year after year.
Umm Phenomenal!

I just downloaded this app and set to exploring. For a free App it is beautifully crafted and nice to look at. Aesthetics aside, after logging into the library I was able to scan and download 9 journals that I can use today! The amount available by subject matter was impressive and I'm sure that more will be added later. So far I am in ❤with this app and I hope that it keeps getting better with time. Thanks Devs!
Don't let the blurb on the description fool you...

This SAYS it contains journals from all disciplines, but there are comparatively few outside the medical field, and NONE in my discipline (Education). I'm sure they are working on this, and that it is an incredible app for those in the medical field. I can hardly wait for them to make it incredible for the rest of us, too.
Needs internet access even to access saved articles.

The idea is good. But there is a tab to save articles. Problem is that the app does not let you go to anything except bookshelf unless you are connected to the internet. It totally defeats the purpose. I save articles so that I can read it someplace on my iPad when I don't necessarily have access to internet. Last night I sat in the ward trying to catch up on the articles I saved during the day but it did not work. I tried multiple times and it only worked when I connected to internet on coming back home. Not useful unless this is fixed.
Perfect for grad students

This is exactly what I needed. I use Notability to read and annotate journal articles and Zotero to organize my bibliography, and this app combines the functionality of both (especially since Zotero doesn't have it's own app) without requiring that I log on to my library's site and search for journals each time. For a historian at my institution, the journal selection is extensive; everything I need is here. The one thing I wish I could do is add an article's reference to Zotero without attaching the article itself (too many PDFs in Zotero make it a very clunky program). Still, I'm loving this. Can't believe there aren't more people using it!
Great app
Lambisyummy
Has an extensive list of supported journals and has a great way of saving favored articles. This is a must have for science majoring undergrads or grad students. The only thing keeping this app from being perfect is: a keyword search function (to find articles directly), a citations tool, and an annotation tool.
Don't Bother

A major miss in all departments. (1) RSS feeds already do what this app does, just better. This app doesn't track my reading and doesn't alert me to when new content is present. (2) My bookshelf is full?! What the heck is a bookshelf? And make me another bookshelf.... by swiping! Way too much functionality missing from this approach to journal reading to supplant aggregated reading. But, you did manage to out a pretty plant on my "bookshelf."
