Great app with a few shortcomings. – ACS Mobile Review

As an ACS member and Ph.D. student in chemistry, I felt like I just HAD to get this app for my iPhone (and iPad someday). The design is awesome and the readability is very good. However, there are a couple things I wish it had... 1.) Ability to download .PDF files. As the description says, you can cache files for 48 hours for offline reading. But why not the ability to download? I use Goodreader to annotate articles and Dropbox to organize my library of articles. If you can download and save the .PDFs on a computer, you should be able to through this app as well. 2.) Ability to search within .PDF documents. This would be a very useful feature (and most likely solved with being able to download the .PDFs). Until these two features are added, I'll only be able to give this app 3 stars (as it is currently not much more than a standard RSS feed). Otherwise, this app is very well designed and the inclusion of C&EN News is a good touch!
