Scientific American Mind Reviews

Publication's a 6, App is a 0.

Karen E. B.

Having exact same issues as previous reviewer. Have been trying to resolve with Customer Service off and on for a month. All apps must be fully closed for download to even start and when it does, the magazine or an ad opens, pausing the download which won't restart. Paper copy not arrived five wks later. I'll be happy when it does. I wouldn't bother with any of this if I didn't have such faith in this publication; they can do better.

One year Archive only as of now but it may change

A reader delighted

I now know why I can’t load previous issues: because once your subscription is inactive, SciAm will archive the issues you bought for a limited time. If that is a problem, as it was for me, get a print subscription. The magazine does read beautifully in the app for iPad and the articles are fantastic. I just wish I could keep what I bought.

No archive access

Despite digital subscription that includes 1 year archive access I am asked to pay for any past issue??

Great ap.... You can archive the digital magazines you subscribed to for a year.

Can't restore purchases

I downloaded IOS8 and all my purchases disappeared. I have been trying to restore them but my attempts fail all the time. However it becomes possible to download every single issue one by one after I delete the application, then something happens and the application turns off by itself, when I turn it on, my purchases are lost again... And I have to download it all over... Very disappointing!

iOS 8 Update affecting Scientific American App!!

José Ole Oh-yay!

I love reading Scientific American on my iPad. I actually prefer the style and outline over NatGeo's. So you can imagine my utter disappointment when I found out the Apple update has made my Scientific American app inoperable. Please fix ASAP!!!!!

No longer works after 0S 8

The app is no longer working after apple's latest update. I have deleted and downloaded a second time. Same problem. It gives you an error when you try to download the latest issue. Anyone else having the same problem?

iOS8 App does not work

My entire intention in subscribing was foiled by the failed App. I signed up Sept 22 and the App still does not work. Love the "magazine" but can't read it! Very, very frustrating esp. that a large population relies heavily on working apps to read periodicals like this in a mobile way. Even more frustrating that customer service was so uninformed about getting it resolved. You'd think SA would have a greater sense of urgency about getting this fixed. 1star for poor customer service, not keeping subscribers informed of status and not having this issue resolved by now.

iOS8 killed this app. Pathetic support

These folks are just not updating the app. This is ridiculous. They're in over their heads and shouldn't have apps in the App Store. Avoid this app on iOS. I wish I could get a refund for my subscription.
