This app works perfectly on my Pixel XL. Not sure about some other reviews,
but why would you want to view a standard magazine in landscape on a
(small) mobile device. The PDFs download fine, then it's up to my mobile
PDF viewer, which also works perfectly. I can't find anything wrong with
the app.

Proud Life Member of the NRA. Catch up on current and back issues of your
favorite NRA magazines with this app. Even if you have an NRA account you
will most likely need to email tech support to get the credentials to use
the app. Yes you can zoom in and out. Yes you can view either portrait or
landscape. Yes you can download PDF files to read offline with a PDF
viewer. Just get the darn app!

Unusable. Download, login, select magazine... can expand page w two fingers, but then can't slide left or right. Cant read microscopic text.

Proud member of the NRA. Didn't join for this app, but I was seriously underwhelmed by this app. They apparently just hand out one generic set of credentials, but it doesn't even store those, so those have to be reentered. Zoom doesn't work properly on Galaxy S7, all goes white if I try to pan while zoomed. As others noted, landscape is unsupported. Between those things, I can't actually see anything large enough to comfortably read. This needs significant work.

Look, I understand the need to go digital to save money. But this reader app is just awful. Not optimized for phones at all, it makes reading such a chore that you finally just give up. NRA needs to build a true mobile reading app like Wall Street Journal app, which automatically downloads articles for offline reading. NRA Publications is going to be very sorry when they realize nobody is reading their magazines anymore and advertising dollars totally dry up.

This is the most stupid app I have ever seen. I guess you have to email credentials to the NRA & request login info. The NRA is totally whacked out!!!! I already have several logins to access different parts of the website.
