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.

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.

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
