Ratings and Reviews
Association for Computing Machinery could do better
I am disappointed that the premier professional organization for computing professionals couldn't deliver a higher quality app. Setting aside the fact that it looks like it was built by a Ph.D. Grad student in the 1990s for X11 Motif, it crashed on me twice just trying to open the current issue.
Direct to web is better.
I have used a lot of apps on the iPad for reading magazine content. I've reviewed the leading ones in my blog. This is the absolute worst of all I have ever used. It crashes. It does not handle figures properly. And the interface seems to go out of its way to prevent you from doing what you could have done by just using Safari. To whomever worked on this app. I'm sorry. You need to actually try a few reader apps, and then go back and try to use this one to actually read the whole magazine.
ACM: BE EMBARRASSED to have your name associated with this app.
Would like to like this app
Currently I read CACM by downloading the pdf and transferring it to the iPad. That's somewhat cumbersome, and when I learned about this app, I wanted to try it. However, there are a couple of problems with it that make me hesitant to switch over:
- It requires that I enter my credentials each time. Every other subscription-based app that I have remembers my credentials. This is a serious usability issue.
- All of the graphical elements of the print CACM are lost, making the iPad version much less pleasing to look at.
- The ads for upcoming conferences are missing, as are the conference calendar and jobs listings. The ACM is doing themselves, and us, a disservice by leaving those out.
I would be satisfied if the app simply displayed a replica of the print version, although I know that there are differences of opinion on whether or not that's the right thing to do.
