It's a little buggy for me when I try and open the maps, for example. It blanks out and locks up sometimes. And not being able to turn to landscape drives me nuts.

That said, For free, I cannot complain, but realisticslly this is pretty weak as a substitute for DDI or print Dragon. This is a marketing app. There is no "plus" about it all.

While the content may not be to everyone's liking, it seems that the app has been downloaded by a lot of people, according to The Escapist.

Nice! Though the android was an app? Doesn't the android store show numbers?

Google Play says that the app has been downloaded 5-10,000 times.

It's on odd comparison to make, as people don't repeatedly download newstand apps. A new newstand type app will typically get more downloads in its first month than an older app does.

Sure, except for the first issue, I'd think app downloads would match well to the first issue download.

I'm hoping the App works more like a Wiki where I can search for a subject without knowing which month it showed up in.

I wish their website worked more like a website, as well.

So far it doesn't work like a wiki. In fact the search function of the app doesn't work at all whether it's inside the magazine or just trying to find a keyword on the news feed.

A wiki? As in software which allows multiple people to edit it and which hyperlinks words via markup to article titles?
