If it’s in print you own what you purchased. Guitar techniques and Total Guitar apps were purchased and can no longer be accessed after publication ceased. Total scam.

★★★★★ If you really want to read GW on an iPad, then buy a separate iPad for each copy you download. (Forget the iPhone version as the issues are unreadable on the small screen.) If instead you want Guitar World with a good…
★★★★★ And while we're at it, the magazine has been on a slow downward spiral for years.
★★★★★ Just subscribed. At first, I could read it fine, until I finished the Joe Satriani piece. Next page was blurry...so was the next and when I went backwards, those pages were now blurry. Horrible rending of pages!!!…

★★★★★ The free issue (test issue, as I referred to it) hooked me.
★★★★★ Wow, people believe that everything in the app store should be free, go figure!

Was nice now new issues are not showing up
Subscription is still active but the service wants to charge for the next issue. I canceled my auto renewal. Lots of options for other magazines without continually reloading and recovering. And now that no longer works.
The digital interface of guitar world ruined this once great magazine. I subscribed and nothing ever actually worked. Luckily it was a free trial and I could cancel. Made me create an account through some third party which would never actually recognize. No magazine issues would ever download. I signed up for literally nothing to happen but waste my time.
I no longer have a subscription but when I had a print subscription many of those issues were also included in my library. I opened the app after a long while and all of my back issues in My Library had been removed. Like most things today, buying something doesn’t mean it’s yours, and they can take it away at anytime, either from greed or incompetence.
The app needs a software update. It’s clunky and has a permanent red badge “1” notification.
