Latest reviews, United States App Store.
None of the cover images display properly if you start the app up offline. This makes it very hard to browse your issue collection because every cover is blank. Why aren' t the cover images downloaded or generated and cached when you download the issue?
Then they’re supporting ai, plus the reviews for reading are trash so nope
The magazine is great, but don’t get it from these people. I paid the 39.99 unlock all back issues and it did not work but it did take my money. Contacted them they said they couldn’t help talk to Apple. Apple says talk to them and refused my refund. I’ve emailed this company many times and have rcieced horrible support on this issue. One person said they would look into it but did not hear back, inquired back about it and the whole default response of contact April came back. Bottom line I paid 39.99 got absolutely nothing , can easily prove it, but they refuse to give me what I paid for. There are other ways to get this magazine other than this app that refuses to help. I reported a fraud case on them with Apple but Apple doesn’t want to help anyone either. They will never get another dollar from me.
Toooo looog to restore purchase not happy, if I can get it to work the mag is beautiful
All of my other magazine apps open pretty much instantly, but this one is designed to make you wait several minutes while it ‘Loads’ — This is a psychological trick to trick you into thinking that if you have to wait for it, you’re getting a better value for The over priced magazines ! It’s completely unnecessary & very annoying !
Paid $40 to receive all back issues and they only worked for a few hours. Now I’m being asked to pay for issues I’m supposed to own. Sent multiple emails and have yet to receive a response. They are now selling that same subscription for $70.
