User Reviews

Feedback is overwhelmingly negative. The most persistent problems are app crashes, inability to download or access issues offline, sign-in and subscription restoration failures, and poor customer support. Reviewers report back-issue access disappearing, libraries not syncing, and content sometimes missing or not displaying correctly. Some device-specific issues and occasional improvements are noted, but they are not common. Overall, the digital edition is criticized for instability and unreliability, with only minimal mentions of portability as a potential benefit.
Pros
Cons
  • Frequent app crashes and blank screens after updates or while loading issues.
  • Inability to download/read issues offline; constant sign-in requirements; offline access not reliable.
  • Subscription restoration and recognition problems; restore button failing; inability to access back issues.
  • Poor or unresponsive customer support; support links moved or unavailable.
  • Content delivery issues across devices; videos not always working; some articles missing or not displaying correctly.

Horrible app. I am ready to cancel my subscription. I have to email customer support each month to download.

This app used to work fine but September was the last month I was allowed to read the mag. It will not populate my library any longer so I was not able to enjoy October and now November and I am about to request a refund it happens on both my iPhone and iPad which has the newest versions and I redownload the app simply crap.
