Contrary to what is still the official line, the ScienceDirect iPhone/iPad App DOES work with authentication systems (Athens/Shibboleth). It took me 3 months to get this sorted out with the Elsevier technical support. There are lots of hoops to jump through, but it can be made to work. E-mail me for more details of how to do it.
Ebsco EBSCOhost and DynaMed also work with authentication systems - I have produced librarian crib sheets for these too.

I completely agree!
We haven't yet come across an app that works properly for off-campus students. Most of them just don't work with authentication systems, especially when the student never physically visits a campus within the university's IP range.
lis-e-resources is a UKSG list - http://www.uksg.org/serials
