User Reviews

After years of generally positive feedback, users are reporting widespread instability following the March 2026 update. The majority of reviews highlight crashes, freezes, and unusable behavior, with several noting issues specific to library sign-in and access. Some users also encounter misleading update prompts. While functioning versions remain praised for ease of use and content variety, the consensus is that the app currently suffers from serious reliability problems on multiple devices, with mixed signals about fixes and device compatibility.
Pros
  • Easy to use / intuitive interface
  • Wide range of magazines and news content
  • Useful for staying informed (world news and school/work)
Cons
  • Frequent crashes/unusable after the March 2026 update across multiple devices
  • Library login/sign-in issues or changes that disable library cards
  • Misleading update prompts when no update is available
  • Performance issues on older devices (older tablets) including reboots
  • App closes or loops back to the home screen while reading or downloading
