Doesnt work

After logging in, I tried downloading the latest issue over wi-fi. The app tells me its downloading, but very little happens -- the status bar shows less than half the issue downloaded after twenty (!) minutes. Very disappointing, given the success of Spectrum e-delivery over the web, where downloads happen quickly. Im surprised IEEE would release this app in its current state.

Update: Ive revised my rating based on the fact that my initial problem appears to have been server-related. Tried at 5 AM EST and it downloaded in about two minutes. Still slow, but at least it completed the download.

Its only three stars, though, because what you get are page images of the printed version. This is not a true iPad app, in the sense of having the articles presented in a way thats easy to read. Rather, you have to zoom in on a page and move around the page in order to read an article.
