Comments on Sight & Sound for Android

★★★★☆ Paul Cotsen · May 20, 2022
Superb. Only for people who can actually read. Not good for morons.
★★★★★ A Google User · Jul 25, 2013
Brilliant way to read the msg Why isn't this app being advertised? I found it by chance while frustrated that seemingly only the iPad could benefit from the digital subscription properly. This is very smooth and quick so far and should be offered more willingly.
★★★★☆ Storm Patterson · Dec 29, 2015
Great app - has only 1 flaw Navigation is excellent, and it is easy to use. The only downfall is that there is no way to bookmark pages nor does it remember the last page you were on.
★☆☆☆☆ Alan Boshier · Feb 8, 2026
I so wanted to use this app, but the UX is terrible on both mobile and tablet. Click on magazine to start reading; OK it asks me for subscriber username and password, after which I can read the issue, which is fine for a "first time in" experience. Then go back to select a different magazine - offers me one option - to logout! After which I have to repeat the sign-in process again. Not fine. If anyone from the BFI reads these reviews, please fix this.
★☆☆☆☆ Karl Ruben Weseth · Sep 12, 2018
App starts up, and sticks forever in the authenticating membership process. If it ever gets past that process, it crashes as soon as I try to load an issue. This is a new tablet, and there shouldn't be problems like this. Having a digital subscription is severely limited if I'm only able to read the magazine in my web browser, and not in the dedicated app, which, by extension, is a service I've paid you money for. Judging by the rest of reviews on here, this is a problem that's persisted for a good long while, and you don't seem any closer to fixing it. I love your magazine, but this needs to be rectified post-haste, or you need to just pull this app from the app store, so you can stop advertising that your magazine can be read on Android. As of now, as far as I'm concerned, it can't.
