[2012-03-21] ThanderMaX: Very low res UI elements Searching for past issue could have been made smarter. Instead of no issue found, it could show nearest matching issue. DUMBEST APP FOR OFFICIAL PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION app |

[2012-01-16] Rudhir: Needs more Nice but can be made better. I did not find any problems while entering username and password. Cancel button does work. Both forward and backward scrolling is possible, but is quite un-responsive. For best results, to scroll forward go to the end of the article and to scroll backward go to the beginning of the article. Font size settings are lost once you scroll to the next or previous article. Need to improve/add a lot of features to make this app worthwhile. |

[2011-12-15] Marshall: Buggy UI This is a poorly developed app. When logging in, the enter key does not act as expected. I.e. it adds a carriage return to the username; similar issues are encountered with the password. The Cancel button just doesn't work. After logging in, the UI still leaves much to be desired. Scrolling forward from one article to the next works about 1 out of 10 times. Scrolling back to the previous article doesn't work. When viewing the articles, it provides a text increase and decrease button. However, the standard method of pinch in/out for zoom isn't implemented. Neither is a long press to select text for copy and paste. An abstract is given when reading articles. It does gives you a link to "View Full Article" by launching a web browser. However, unlike all my other apps, it won't prompt you to select which of your installed browsers you wish to use. It seems to have its own built in browser. I'm tempted to add a comment about expectations of an app built by the ACM. But, honestly, it's just too painful to express at this time. |

[2011-09-11] A2MS: Horrible UI It works, but an iOS UI in an android phone looks terrible. Please consider changing it. |

[2011-09-01] mp: Font Size Too Small Need to be able to increase the default font size on main screen of news and then when I choose an article it lets me make the font bigger but "forgets" my choice immediately when I go "back" and choose the next article to view. Also, need to be able to swipe while reading an article and move to the next article rather than going back to the table of contents each time. Thank you for providing an Android app! I've been hoping you would soon. Please continue to improve it. |

[2011-09-01] Heath: Simple and nice UI on a tablet This is a relatively simple "news headlines" app with a straightforward presentation. The font size has been criticized by others -- it looks fine to me on a 10.1" tablet. |
|
[2011-09-01] Phil: Nice... Looks nice on my dell streak. Saving font size would be a wonderful feature! |
|
[2011-09-01] random9q: MOSTLY working well. Screen looks/works well here (D2G), UI good. Share to copied link xmitting future-dated link to not-yet existent archive page. |
|
[2011-09-01] Anonymous: Looks good Simple with a bit more functionality than the regular email updates. Simple and elegant. |
|
[2011-08-31] Jeriel Jan: App does what it should, but looks poorly done as it completely mimics the iOS interface and looks like a webapp rather than a full mobile app. |
