You do not scan the "scan symbol" found on certain pages, but you scan that which is mentioned within the "scan symbol brackets". For instance, in the "Wireless" issue, the first scan symbol states "Scan this map". Therefore, scan the nearby map and not the "scan symbol" and you get an instant positive response. It took me a half hour of scanning the "scan symbols" before I figured it out. I gave this app a full five stars but they could have saved me some valuable lifetime if they could have defined the scan target more clearly.

I originally downloaded this app about a month an a half ago and couldn't figure out why I kept getting the, "An error occurred during authentication, please try again," error message each this app that I tried to sign in. So finally, I delete the app, went to Safari and, since I'm a print subscriber, tried to log in thinking it would be faster. I got the same message! Tried to change my password and it wouldn't recognize my user name. So, being the accidental hacker that I am, tried to enter the e-mail address in ALL caps and, voila, it allowed me into the all access version. Have since tried it on my iPad it works nicely. If I didn't figure that out, I would have definitely not renewed my print subscription!

Great app! Very interesting top 10 lists (which are actually sometimes more than 10, e.g., top 50 websites for 2009). You have to tap and hold on a link to open or copy it. No big deal once you realize it. It would be nice, though, if it would remember where you left off when you leave the app (e.g., to open a website link or answer a call) and come back. As is now, you are brought to the app's home screen and you have to navigate back to where you left off (if you remember), which can be a PITA if you were in the middle if a top 50 list.
