Latest news text will not load, but I can see the table of contents; a reinstall did not fix this problem. I use a Motorola turbo 2. This app was great when it worked

I can only see the latest issue in the C&EN store. As soon as I click on "view more", the app crashes and exits. Also, the only way to get the latest issue is to uninstall the app and install it again. The app doesn't automatically load the lasted issue. I would like to save trees, but I will definitely keep subscription to the hard copy until they fix the app. Update on Feb 7, 2017 - I can finally see and download the latest issue without re-installing the app. But some downloaded issues just disappeared! As I never downloaded them before yet I was just reading them yesterday! The app is unpredictable and unbearable.

Have to reinstall often. Only fix for when it stops downloading new TOCs, as it will every few weeks. Does not accept credentials always. Frustrating.

Installed this app years ago and it functioned just fine, now it will not download articles and formatting is poor.

The news articles are formatted for a dead tree. The font and layout are unreadable on a mobile device.

It is impossible to download issues now. App crashes every time. I used it for over a year and loved it, but the latest version has been broken for months.

Selecting an article from the "Latest News" brings up the article with a dark blue background with black font. Totally unreadable and no obvious way to adjust it. Also,not all recent issues are available for download

Great content but the C&EN weekly news articles cannot be zoomed out to a reasonable text size. The text is way too big. This is not an issue with the "latest news" articles.

The font color for articles is too close to the background color and makes it difficult to read.

Latest news articles are unreadable. Formatting elsewhere is pretty bad. This is mostly junk.

Worked fine until the first of the new year. Since then no 2015 issues will download. Older issues from 2014 download OK. There is something wrong with both the android and kindle app.

Love the improvements over the old C&EN app, but this one constantly updates, and tops my list of data usage. Will download several megabytes at a time! Please give option to download only when app is open.

It seems that the app does not load anymore text... I'm using a Galaxy Note 8, however this started recently when I still had a Galaxy S7 Edge. I believe the issue must be with a current update. I can only read headlines, no other text is displayed. Useless in this state.
