Skeptic Magazine 앱 리뷰

Great!

In a sea of unreflective and outright nonsense, a questioning voice to consider.

I purchased a digital subscription a couple years ago through Apple, and it clearly shows in my list of Apple Subscriptions. Unfortunately, when I try to read the digital version on my iPad, all I get is stupid Pocket Magazine saying that I need to subscribe. What? I AM subscribed! Very annoying and if this not quickly resolved I will cancel!

Refreshing to read sober analysis. What a gift to have science based critical analysis on a range of issues.

Great articles assessing the truth or falsehood of all kinds of theories and assertions, with the truth being the only guiding light. Articles you’ll find nowhere else.

Great thinking outside of the bubble.

Since I read nearly everything on my iPad or phone, the digital version of this journal makes reading the it much more accessible. I can easily read it in bed with even with the lamp turned off. I also appreciate the Reader view feature that turns an article into a single long page for scrolling. The only most important feature missing for me is a highlighter. When I read non-fiction I always want to annotate what I'm reading for later review. It's great that the app allows for copying and pasting selected text, but a highlighter is also needed.

The education of a society should include technical knowledge of how to continue educating yourself and how not to be fooled by bad or misleading information. This magazine does just that. From articles of atheism, pseudo science, and myths to real scientific knowledge, Skeptic magazine helps me wade through the BS to arrive at reality.

DO NOT subscribe to “pocket mag”! Expensive frequent charges, and very difficult to unsubscribe. I was charged a fortune for my “trial”.

The magazine is great -- One of my very favorite. App makes my entire library available whenever and wherever I am. Just open my iPad.

It's amazing that something like this is even necessary, and it is very much so as this country seems to be devolving into the Dark Ages. How can we have grown so much in the last two thousand years and now seem to be going back to many of the values and superstitions humanity overcame. Science is being devalued, an elite 1 percent of rich people are ruling and the middle class is shrinking, and religion that had evolved more into charitable organizations are now returning to authoritarian attacks on morals and taking over politics. Skeptic Magazine is the antidote for all of that fighting the disease and blight of ignorance and providing a determined resistance to the realities of vaccination deniers, human global warming deniers, charlatans and hucksters, and so much more. I had stacks of Skeptics going back years but now with their availability with a simple App I've replaced the stacks with a subscription and back issues on an iPad. I can now take my library with me wherever I go. Evolution is a good thing. Devolution is stupid.

I can't imagine not having access this intelligent magazine.

I'm so glad I subscribe to Skeptic Mag. It's well worth it!

I love the way Skeptic challenges my preconceptions. It offers a wonderful look at commonly held beliefs from an alternative perspective.

Some very dense articles, but well-researched. The interface is pretty good. I like the ability to purchase back issues. Just wish new issues were released more frequently.

My only complaint, and why it gets 4 stars is that I would like to see more articles per quarter. I understand, however, not wanting to dilute the quality and to be accurate with sourcing and bibliographic information. I highly recommend this for anyone who values reason first and foremost.

So far, I like this app, my only complaint is that I'm unable to hold a word and get dictionary definitions. Change that, and I LOVE it.

There are gems among magazines, and this is one of them. With material for old and young like, it provides all you need to develop your critical thinking and learn new things. Highly recommended. Excellent app; never had any problems with it, both on my older iPad and on this one, an air 2.

I love Skeptic, and the lecture series at Caltech was a special treat when I could make it. The app is nice. Bookmarks and highlighting capability would be nicer.

Timely and always interesting.

This is one of my favorite magazines. I look forward to each issue and usually read it cover to cover. The Skepdoc is my favorite columnist.

I really do like the simplicity of this app! It's designed well. It's missing one major thing: bookmarks. I would give this app 5 stars if bookmarks were an option! As it is now, I have to take screenshots before leaving the article in order to find where I left off when I return. Not exactly efficient. Thanks!!

This app still crashes when I try to launch it. Fail.

I'd like to subscribe but the app crashes on my iPad.

Installed app on iPad Pro and it crashes every time I try to open it. Rebooted iPad, but problem with app persists. Sigh.

App constantly crashes upon start up.

I have been reading this magazine for many years. More than any other is gets at the scientific truth behind so much nonsense disinformation in the world.

The app is painful to read with. The content makes me mad because it is so smugly confident about its version of scientific truth

Always keeps me thinking and pondering. And you really can't too much pondering in your life. :-)

This works well enough to read on on the go without ruining your magazine. But there are no features related to text sizing or ability to copy. It's all zoom and pinch baby.

This is still the one magazine I look forward to with eager anticipation. No fluff or filler, just solid science reporting and discussion.

W. News media and late nite talk filled w. Unsupported drive, mass hysteria, skeptical inquirer ties the high road . Bringing rationale, reason, and just common sense, back to the fold of modern man! The nutrition for those still using grey matter for fuel in thinking.

Thanks to my own doing, I figured out how to finally read my content. No thanks to anyone at Skeptic Magazine or "Pocket mags". AMAZING periodical...TERRIBLE functionality! Thanks, AS

Finally intelligent human beings questioning it all!!!

When they say your one year digital subscription gives you access to back issues, they neglect to mention that you most pay an additional $4.99 for each one. All that you get for your subscription is the current and next three issues. I would not have subscribed if I had recognized this.

give it five stars for content and one star for access. just hangs downloading new issue (Dec?) used to have a mail sub but prefer this. no more $$$ from me until it works! update it folks.

The articles are great, I read them in my phone, tablet and computer. They address current events with a fact based approach and I like that. The app is another thing altogether. Not that great. It makes reading a bit difficult. I have to zoom in and out constantly.

...I'm hoping to get a refund for the one issue I purchased, then delete this forever. Content didn't download, and even though I got a receipt for my purchase it doesn't show as purchased content in the app. What a crock of, well, you know what! Skeptic Magazine should have been a lot more skeptical about the providers of this app and the content server they selected.

Love Skeptic magazine, but this app fails to download issues (gets the first three pages), fails to sync, doesn't work well in landscape mode, etc. Not worth the effort, and surely not the money. Back to print for me.

Most frustrating magazine app ever. The content might be good - I still don't know after paying for a subscription.

Interesting and cerebral content. Only wish the entire catalog of back issues were available.

Won't sync to phone!

Great articles, always on top of the issues!

I have an iPad with retina display and the resolution is bad, it looks like a scanned image of the printed page.

The app works well on my iPad. The magazine is a great read and I look foreword to each new issue.

Every problem mentioned here is true. The mag is great so I did not want to give it a one or zero.

It works fine for me.

I am a long-time hard copy Skeptic magazine subscriber. I switched to the e-version to save costs and paper. I have only read one issue so far using my iPad. I love the content of Skeptic magazine, but the electronic version is basically a PDF of the magazine. There are no formatting changes to make it easier to read on an iPad (or other tablet) and there are no special features like I am used to getting in other electronic magazines (National Geographic does a awesome job with their electronic version). According to some reviews, people have had problems with their subscriptions. I am anxious to see if I have any problems when the next issue is available.
