Hi, every time I try and log in to the Flipster app, I am getting an error message in the explore tab. My shelf shows up but I am not able to access the explore tab. Thank you for your help.

The speed of the reading is way too fast and there is no settings to slow it down

Horrible !! How can you be in business? For days, weeks, months now it does not work (have: removed & re-installed app, restarted phone, etc but it does not work). Unbelievable!

When I click on an issue of scientific American or any other magazine to download it, it indicates with a rotating arrow circle that is doing so, but never stops. Thanks. Stephen
