User Reviews

User reviews show a mostly positive reading experience and portability, with strong praise for the UK edition. However, reliability is a major pain point: frequent crashes and the app failing to open after updates; subscription access issues; high per-issue pricing; slow or incomplete downloads; and disruptive ads. These persistent problems overshadow the app’s benefits.
Pros
  • High-quality reading experience with clear resolution and useful on-screen features like screenshots.
  • Very portable and convenient to read on iPhone/iPad, including on campus.
  • UK edition content is perceived as better and engaging.
  • The app is free to download and there are free or trial issues available.
  • Generally quick download for some users, improving accessibility.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes, freezes, or the app won't open after updates.
  • Magazine pricing is high and not clearly free; many issues cost money.
  • Problems accessing paid content: cannot view, cannot restore, or transfer subscriptions between devices.
  • Downloading issues can be slow or result in blank pages.
  • Excessive ads and content limitations reduce reading experience.

It used to be a good app and then they took away access to most of their old issues, even if you had paid for them. Now the app is horrible.

Purchased a subscription via iTunes on my iPod two weeks ago. It doesn't translate to my iPad, and won't download even download any issues on either devices. Waste of money. I should have stuck with the print edition.
