Pros and cons of Science News & Discoveries app for iPhone and iPad

Science News & Discoveries app good for

So far so good! Excellent stories. Incredibly fluid on my IPhone 6S, keep up the good work, becoming one of my favourite news apps,
I love getting daily science news and being able to filter the news by subjects is really nice.
Love the app. The news feed isnt the clickbait science news outlets you typically see, but credible sources that do phenomenal writing and rigorously stick to the scientific method. I also enjoy the personalization you can do with following various fields of science. Love my astronomy ⭐️☄.
I really enjoy using this app and I never have a problem finding something new and interesting. Keep it up Science News!
Wonderful app but it has some issues on the iPhone for instance you cant zoom in sometimes
By far my favorite news app! So addictive, interactive and educational, keeping you up-to-date with the latest science news and break throughs. Perfect for the geek in everyone :)

Some bad moments

Too slow, no text only summery page, have to open everything in a browser. It almost forces you to allow notifications, something I can no longer permit. If you allow everything that wants to to send notifications the barrage becomes overwhelming, ditto for emails. I used to allow these but found myself just ticking "Select All" then "Trash", never reading anything and missing important mail. I sympathize with the need for exposure, the bills have to be paid, but my time is limited too so eventually I deleted my email account and created a new one that I never expose. Ditto with notifications, dont allow them anymore, just too much junk. For what its worth, heres what Id like to see in this app; what would make it useful. This is only my take. 1. Fast search with date range option. 2. Text only summary, continuous scrolling - no "Next Page" time wasters. 3. Deep dive the science and downplay the populist items, 95% of what I see here is no more than "News at 7:00" stuff, just a skimming and equally incomplete. 4. Include Citations please!, without Cites its almost impossible to back trail the info and sources in a reasonable amount of time. 5. Add the ability to build a Cite list for later follow up and research. I could add lots more on the wish list but hopefully you get the idea, make the app a useful reference tool, drop the junk, get rid of the "Open in browser" and just pass the call to Safari with a proper cleanup & return. I subscribe to several university newsletters and blogs where the convention is similar, a text only, summery page where important items are flagged, the flagged items are reviewed and have more extensive follow up, and truly important items are referenced to single articles. Finally, there are double flagged items indicating these have potential break-through impact and receive additional review and audit. No app is going to be able to do all things to everything but perhaps a middle ground could be found at a reasonable price.
Im all for a new look but it just makes the whole app less convenient. It feels like apps only go for form over function these days. There are just better options, go try those first.
Read this App every day. Great articles. Definitely recommend.
As a scholar of neurosciences, I consistently look for updates on current news of science. I enjoy reading these articles on my downtime.
I love your appt..I forgot to rate you...Very sorry...No offense....please stop this nonsense.
Love having most of my science news in one place. Science news has been responsive to constructive feedback as well.
