  • Terrible flicker

    Articles are nearly impossible to read as they flicker and reset back to the top constantly.
  • Need update with IOS 17

    Crashes on start

    I really love this app when it works. After the last IOS update, it refuses to open. I’ve tried contacting the developer on their site but their Capcha isn’t working so I can’t submit a request for help. How can I restore this app so it works again?
  • Stopped work…

    This app stopped working on my iPad after updating to the latest version of IOS. But, the app works on my iPhone after the latest update.
  • Website is much better

    Phys.org website has ads, but that’s much better than being forced into a subscription with this app if I want to read more than ‘Spotlight’ articles.
  • Why serve ads when I’ve subscribed?

    also blue hyperlinks are hard to read when in dark mode on with low screen brightness
  • Unreadable

    The dark blue typeface used for hyperlinks renders it unreadable against the black background. You need a lighter colour.
  • Needs Stage Manager Support

    This app would be great if it was supported by iPadOS 16’s Stage Manager mode…
  • Not a lot of effort

    Good content but not a lot of effort was put into making this app user friendly
  • Love the content, but no app update for 2 years???

    I needed something to replace the doom and gloom of daily news that was destroying my brain, and I love the content of Phys.org. Great articles, concise and conversational writing. Also LOVE the fact that full article content is actually surfaced within the main interface, rather than constantly linking out to external sites like some other services. But this app feels like someone made it as a side project. No ability to toggle between light and dark mode outside of your device OS, illegible dark blue links in dark mode, very few features beyond the ability to sign up for subscription, and - despite lots of obvious bugs - no updates for 2 years??? So I’m guessing this project has been abandoned? Too bad, because I feel like they have great potential. But I’m not paying a subscription fee for something that has such infrequent developer attention.
