a ton of great articles and a great companion to a subscription. note, there are many more articles than show up in the magazine.

Better than I had expected from the reviews. If you have bought a subscription you obviously need to initially log in to the app. I have tried it on both my android phone and Chromebook and it works well on both. The Chromebook version has been optimised for Chromebook, though perhaps it could be a little smoother - at least on my tablet. Downloading for offline use works well But I'm quite happy with it. I also paid for the print version, but I might consider just using the digital one.

When it works it provides a reasonable basic reader. Currently, despite having a valid subscription, it will not provide access to the latest edition. Helpdesk unable to help, only to escalate matter. Has happened before, this and other matters suggest subscription software is not fit for purpose. 3 days later and the current issue is still not available. I suspect it is illegal to charge and advertise for a service that doesn't exist.
