  • Print subscriber disappointment

    If you are a print subscriber and want access, this poorly designed AND broken app will probably waste your time. I had it working about 6 months ago and can no longer get access. Hope your experience is better than mine. No, I am not calling tech support for this, it should just work.
  • Why can’t we have landscape mode

    I learned to read with Reader’s Digest more years ago than I care to admit. I am no Luddite...I prefer digital media in many ways but this is the single major publication I read that is not in landscape mode. I’ve put up with this for many years update after update, your content is ever amazing, but honestly for the first time in 50 years I am considering cancelling my subscription- I won’t go back to paper but if I can’t have landscape mode soon - so much easier to manage read and experience, I will have to say goodbye.

  • Not Happy about Readers Digest in ipad

    I do not care to read this magazine on my ipad! Every time I close the app and reopen it, I have to search for the page I left off on. Also, I can not pass it on to a friend.

    If they are no longer printing hard copies, I want a refund on my subscription.
  • On-line Readers Digest

    The beauty of downloading a magazine is being able to read it while on a plane, etc. The problem with this app is I will download it and by the time I go to read it it is no longer there. It needs to be downloaded each time I want to read it which I can’t do on a plane. Why such a short window? Why does a magazine that I’ve already downloaded have to be downloaded over and over again. Frustrating!

  • Used to be great

    I also am having trouble with the February issue, closing within seconds. Never had any problems prior to this issue. From other reviews, it seems that Apple & Reader's Digest need to get together & fix the problem instead of passing off blame to the other. PLEASE FIX!!!
  • Reader's Digest App

    I have had nothing but trouble with being able to open and have the app stay open since the February issue became available. It just automatically closes after about 10 seconds. I've been in touch with customer service at Reader's Digest who told me that I would have to contact iTunes who has given me several hoops to jump through to no avail. Now I have been told to go to the app and select the "App Support" option, but that keeps coming up with a generic error page and so.... I'm unhappy right now. Perhaps this review will get some response??

  • Excellent magazine and app

    One of the best magazines I've ever read. I've been very reluctant to get the app but when I found out I failed to renew my print subscription within the required time frame I found myself at a loss waiting for my magazine to come again. So I got the app and I actually think I like it better. I don't have to wait for the magazine to come in the mail. App is excellent. The bookmarks were a little challenging to find and figure out how to use but other than that it's great!

  • Loses my place too much

    I love Readers Digest and will continue using this app, BUT I'm very frustrated with this iPhone app! When I take a break from reading for a day or two and don't close the app, just minimize it, it very often loses my place. It loses it when I close the app also :(. I shouldn't have to bookmark my spot and most often forget to do that. I tried to leave a comment using the App Support link, but the link is broken. Sigh.

  • All is good

    Have been subscribing off and on over the past several years. Renewed subscription 10 months ago and just recently for next year. I just downloaded the application with no problems. I have 6 years of issues which is great. Downloaded to my IPhone and IPad.
    I enjoy reading the short stories.
    Happy customer.

  • Could be more IPad friendly

    I really enjoy the magazine, but one suggestion: why cant it be in landscape mode as well? Everything I do with my iPad Pro is in landscape, but I have to disconnect my keyboard and take it off my desk every time I have to read from this app.
