Great idea to have this digitalised and definitely find myself dipping in and out a lot more than the paper versions. However it just keeps crashing, especially when I try opening old issues! Stability would be great, and a more sleek UI would also make it an even better experience

Makes reading the BMJ on my smartphone easy and accessible. It has become an enjoyable reading habit for me like reading the papers, and excellent that it is available offline. It is straightforward to save articles with comments, and to share links. The only thing that could be perfected is that large data tables sometimes lose some of the columns off the side of my phone and can't be read. Huge leap forward from the paper journal IMHO. Edited

After many years waiting for a usable android app I have to thank the bmj for releasing this. I think it needs a fix on the UI, whenever I go into settings there's a white bar across the top that just has a close 'x' button but is otherwise a dead space. I've also got 2 suggestions for improvements, if the app is going to be useful for anything more than casual use then ... (1) I don't understand why it's limited to issues since 2017 when the whole archive is online. (2) More importantly the search function really needs to go through the archive not just downloaded issues. Hope the next version is released soon. Edited

Recently I'm trying to be an active reader of your articles from the web. This app would make life much easier if it weren't for this little bug: it won't open on my phone. I'm stuck in a eternal loading page right from the beginning. I use a Zenfone M2 model. Would really appreciate fixing this. I know the hard work puting this app together so thank you for you job,!

Great to get BMJ on phone good but not perfect - has improved (previously didn't always update to include the latest issue until a day or two after the print issue). I really wish that it could remember where I was up to as very frustrating having to puzzle out where I was up to and often end up rereading things which wastes time. Some glitches eg at the end of an issue it offers to take you to the next one but actually takes you to the previous one - think I'd fed this back but not fixed yet.
