Even if you stay subscribed, a newly downloaded issue erases older issues, so you lose them even though you have paid for and downloaded them previously.
Essential for lovers of recorded classical music
The app and subscription are terrific .... Although there are small delays in page loading the portability through the magazine is great .... And the combination of content is easy in iPad display ..... To make the newsstand app even better .... Incorporate a feature to link reviews and ad content on various discs to an ordering mode to relevant online sites .... Many thanks

Beware! This is just a magazine rental.
I bought a 1 month subscription. At the end of the month my subscription expired, and the month I had bought (November 2011) disappeared. I tried to restore it, and was told I had no current subscription. So I guess they're saying that you only "rent" the mag while you have an ongoing subscription, and if you let it lapse, you lose all your editions. Ripoff!
UPDATE: iTunes have confirmed that you only get content while you are subscribed. So you could subscribe for a year, and once the subscription is over, you have no access to that content, ever again.
Putting aside the subscription issue, the iPad edition of the magazine is devoid of any functionality or features that take advantage of the iPad platform. It's basically just a PDF dump of the print material. So it's not worth subscribing to even if you got to keep all the copies. This is a putrid product.

I love this!
I love that this magazine is available digitally! The interface is superior to some other magazines that are available. With the magazine in the news stand it is there ready to read even when the wifi is not there. I now have one of my favorite magazines accessible on my iPad. That is so wonderful. The pages render as beautifully as the paper version. It is easy to zoom to make print larger. It is an easy swipe between pages or you can hit the scroll button at the bottom to quickly move around the magazine! Thank you!

Gramophone windup?
I had high expectations which were dashed because this is an expensive and poorly implemented app. The subscription is £3.99 per month - hardly any difference from the print copy which has a CD as well. Don't bother with this one
Very useful!
Great functions and easy to use!
Not worth it
After paying for a subscription through Exact Editions, this doesn't allow me to read the entire magazine. Disappointing.
Outstanding
Absolutely love this app. I too was disappointed after downloading what I thought was the American edition. In reality this is the UK edition with additional American material at the beginning of the magazine.
Excellent
The mag is excellent on an iPad. I've been looking forward to this app for a while. I find it so much more convenient having it with me all the time, to dip into, rather than having to take the hard copy with me.
I had thought they had made a bad mistake in using the US edition, with US ads and concerts. It turns out I was wrong - the US edition has extra content, and there's nothing missing from the UK edition.
