The latest edition of rock and Gem no longer has Article View. It only has the old photocopied version. Hopefully I am missing something. This problem persisted a few months ago and now the last six issues work with no problem. But with this latest September issue we’re back. Too bad. It made this a fun way to consume published media.

The app may be free, but the content isn’t. The magazine is pay per view.
