The magazine's content quality is highly recommended.
Subscribing to the digital version allows continued access to valued articles.

Cons

App requires an internet connection; offline reading of downloaded/purchased content is unreliable or not possible.
Users have issues restoring purchased issues and subscriptions, with poor customer support response.
Subscriptions and purchases have confusing or restrictive policies, including limited trial period and geographic restrictions.
The app often deletes downloaded issues unnecessarily, wasting bandwidth.
Lack of certain expected features like pictures/photos in the mobile version and poor app implementation compared to alternatives.

Recent reviews

This app will not work without internet connection. In airplane mode, I cannot access my library to view my purchased material. I can open something to read from my library with internet, but if I close the app, I cannot re-open it.

R *****, 2024-11-11

I would've given 5 * as I very much like sceptical publications, but there's no pictures or photos on the mobile version, which in itself wouldn't be as big of an issue if they wasn't charging a subscription. I expect closer to perfect if I'm paying cash for something.
