HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (0.9 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.4 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

App No Longer Will Load

I can’t get the app to work anymore on iPad. And even when I did get it to work, I couldn’t see past issues nor would it really save where I was at. Can’t we just go back to print????

★★★★★Jul 30, 2024
Won't open

Won't even open now. Sad to see PS fail.

★★★★★Apr 30, 2024
Last issue was Fall 2023

The Fall 2023 issue is the last one I have. Restore purchases does nothing and the publisher did not respond to my email inquiry. Disappointed. I’ve been a subscriber for over 50 years 😢

★★★★★Apr 22, 2024
Unable to restore purchases

I can’t download any issues, so I have cancelled my subscription. A lot of apps have gone to requiring one to register an account even though purchased through Apple, I don’t know if that is the case with this, but if it is, then good luck with that, you won’t be getting any more money from me unless I can see the issues that I have already purchased. Update: Apparently I could restore purchases on my iPhone, but not my iPad, which is where I originally purchased the subscription. So bye bye…

★★★★★Jul 21, 2023
Unusable

I just downloaded this on IOS and am unable to read anything after paying for the 11.99 subscription. Very disappointed. I downloaded this because the magazine is 15 dollars in the store but a year long subscription to the magazine is 12 dollars. Please fix it.

★★★★★Jun 23, 2023
Great way to read Popsci

I've been using this app for over a year with no issues. After reading the physical magazine for many years I've completely switched to the app now. It's a fair price for the content in my opinion, especially if you have a yearly subscription. My only complaint is that I purchased the subscription through Apple and it syncs with my phone but not my iPad, which is the device I want to use the most for reading.
