## Review summary

The reviews show widespread access problems rather than content quality. Recurring issues include login/sign-in failures, password handling, and download problems that prevent reading subscribed issues. Users also report billing and subscription recognition puzzles (paywalls and unrecognized subscriptions) and frustration with OS/device compatibility after updates (notably iOS 8) and platform changes. Customer support is often cited as unhelpful or slow. A few praise the magazine content and on-the-go reading, but the overall sentiment skews negative due to recurring access and billing issues.

### Cons

- Login/sign-in problems (password memory issues and inability to log in)
- Frequent download issues (unable to download or view issues despite subscription, download function not working, delays)
- Subscription/Billing confusion (paywalls for subscribed users, subscription not recognized, renewal/access issues)
- OS/Device compatibility problems (iOS updates causing access issues, changes in supported iOS versions)
- Poor customer service or slow responses in resolving issues
