Update has ruined it!!!
Used to prefer Stuff to T3 but since the update I've cancelled my subscription. It's just a scanned copy of the paper version, no interactive items and you have zoom most pages because the writing is so small.
Going to stick with T3, as they don't mess around with formats..............very disappointed Stuff......going to lose a lot of fans over this one!!!!!!

Library issues gone
WFT! I've paid for a subscription since 2013. I've always had access to previous months issues. Sometimes I'm a couple of months behind because I'm a very busy person and I forget to read the magazine. I have been reading a copy of Stuff from a couple of months ago and I went back this morning to carry on reading and I can access any back issue. I can only read this months issue. If this is how it's going to be from now on I'm going to cancel the subscription. It's a con. If I bought this magazine in the shops I could look back on the issue as much as I wanted. So why can't I do this in the app. Great update, I have to pay for all back issues from now on even though I've already paid for them. Nothing like keeping customers happy. I understand it's not possible to have every back issue available, that would be madness but surely there is a middle ground, say 6 months. Sort it out otherwise I'm a gonna and I'm sure many others will cancel there subscription too.

Love the magazine.
Love the magazine, and I now no longer have to drive to the international airport to collect the latest copy. I find it strange that a magazine that is focused on all things present and future tech hasn't optimised their magazine for viewing on the new larger iPhones.
Do not buy
Do not buy first off it's not US it's UK then I am on the job with no wifi for months so I read and this is wifi based I just want my money back. Not what I thought it was just cancel me please look I have owned this for 4 hrs and downloaded 4 pages just cancel my year and give me a refund please.
Fix for everyone's recent issues! ( Please read )
I've loved this magazine and app for a while now, but then with the latest update it all went wrong.
All my previous downloads disappeared and I couldn't get any more issues. Just like a lot of the reviews for this release.
However, today I rang Stuff's digital support team and they helped me fix everything.
Turns out its really very simple. I, like a lot of people, had recently turned off 'In-App' purchases after reading all the horror stories of massive iTunes bills. To fix you App simply allow 'In-App' purchases again, load the App and you will be asked for your iTunes password. After a few minutes your magazines will appear again. If this doesn't work, use the restore purchases option and wait. Took me a few goes round doing this, possibly I was just impatient!
Only downside is that all the previous downloads I had have gone, but that's probably because I had deleted and reinstalled the App when trying to fix it.
Hope this helps people.

Bad
Stuff after there last update became garbage I am un subscribing
Buy the Hard copy!!
I used to buy the hard copy but got the digital copy as it was cheeper and i thought would be easier to have it downloaded when the new copy was released each month but the App has stopped updating and i have been unable to download the latest magazine! the Customer services are awful and not helpful at all! and they won't even say when the digital copy will be released. I would avoid the App until they fix it but that does not seen very likely.

Poor app
I have never felt the urge to write a review, but given how poor this app has performed
Firstly it's a zero on its rating as it simply does not open.
I have purchased two issues, may and June
Neither of these issue will open on my iPhone 4S after first read through, and with the June copy, that took a while to actually open the first time
This is the same for my iPad mini
I have tried deleting and restoring on my iPad mini
The reason I'm actually writing this review is just today I've read reviews giving this app five stars??
As I have just tried to read my purchased copy's again, which do not open I decided to write a review
I have always enjoyed stuff magazine but this app is a complete let down on all fronts
Others have mentioned the strange navigation through the pages which I agree is annoying and not very responsive
This magazine should be one of the best apps on newsstand ?
Sorry to say you will be better off just buying the actual magazine from your local newsagent, at least that way you can read it whenever you like after your purchase
Zero stars!!!! Avoid !!!!
Shame apple won't allow me to rate at zero so its a truly undeserved one star

Poor design
I am not even going to mention about the magazine as PDF view. The thing that is stupid with this app is that it supports iPhone 5 but do not let you use the whole screen to view the magazine. This is just dumb.
Stuff magazine
Been working until latest update, issue downloads but crashes as soon as you try open please fix!!!!!!
