How is their app for reading on? I've heard a lot of people complain about these proprietary digital reading apps for various magazines, papers etc

  PressReader on mobile is pretty decent, there are tons of free sample papers and magazines available you can give a try to get a feel for it to see if it's your thing or not. There's some annoying hiccups with the NYTimes replica edition that bug me, if you pull up the text-view of an article that's on the front page and continued elsewhere you'll often get just the continuation instead of the full article (I don't know who to blame here, it's not deal-breaking but it is annoying) - but in general scrolling and paging around feels good, the app always downloads content to your device so offline viewing is there 100% of the time and the interface is workable. One other little nuisance is you can't link your NYTimes replica edition account to your existing PressReader account, so you have to manage them separately and sign into both (which the app allows, fortunately). Overall, would recommend, but give it a try before you commit to spending any money.
