Was able to log in effortlessly, and nice that there is access to a multitude of magazines. However, the app leaves alot to be desired, outside of navigating and reading, it does nothing more (except "bookmark). An immediate function that is lacking is the ability to favorite magazine titles, so you dont have to look for them everytime. Stitcher is a good analog. App does its job, but leaves alot lacking, very unfortunate.

Fine for text reading. But I downloaded this for it voice-to-text ability, but it's not really ready for prime time. It can't keep track of your place when you close the app, and if you turn off the screen it stops reading (and loses your place). So you can't use it to listen to an article on a walk for example, which seems like it would be the prime use case for such a feature. So close yet so far. It would also be nice to have more than one VTT voice. Uninstalled.

This is a follow-up to my January review. After many back and forth emails with EBSCO technical support I have just been told that Flipster is No longer supported on older Android devices. They have now added this info to the download page on Google Play stating Android 8.0 or higher is required. I guess the others who have complained here in the reviews must be also running a lower version number. So, on my functioning tablet with only version 5.1 and no upgrade path, I am out of luck!!
