Zero way to view samples w/o signing up
Magazines/news article apps are the only apps I even consider maintaining a subscription for, but I definitely have ZERO interest in signing up for a subscription without knowing exactly what the content is like first. Being able to view the magazine cover and the titles of content is not helpful either. There is no way to actually view any of the content- for example a sample magazine to browse through- without signing up. I am not going to trust that the content will work for us, especially when you have so many bad reviews in the App Store - I don’t feel like gambling with my money. That’s unfortunate, considering I used to read your magazine myself back in the day, and also got Ladybug magazines in print for my own child 20 years ago. I was hoping to see if I could use any of this content with my students, but there is no way to figure that out as a guest.

Cannot download any previous issues
Since my subscription two days ago,I haven’t been able to manage to download any previous issue at all.
And I tried it on two iPhones and one iPad.
The downloading process always got stuck at about 20 to 30%.
Great magazine probably and I hope my kids will love it but as far as the e-magazine experience goes it’s horrible.

Apple needs to research
There are issues with the way subscription are being handled.
When trying to make an account to be able to view the content on several devices you get multiple error messages, forcing you to purchase a single use option. And customer service is MOST CERTAINLY not helpful.
It is a shame because the content is superb, but the lousy delivery and customer service will scar the Cricket Media brand permanently.

So far not very useful
This is an app for buying and storing magazines. It has a free trial button, but its blocked by a dialogue box for downloading previous purchases, which does not go away. It has a button for previewing the current issue, but it doesn't work.
Very disappointed
Impossible to access my subscription in the app
Issues still
I do not get a Mag that others have told over more then six months of issues with there app. Fix your problem. I just signed up for a year. Downloaded the May/June 2016, started to read to see if it was good to go. Well after three pages of looking. It just quite on me. No issue to look at and it wants me to pay again. Again fix your app!!! I just checked my account with apple and you charged me for one year, even after your Dam signup says you have 30 days free. Where is the 30 days free at!!!! Give me my money back now, will be contacting apple over this screwing!!!

Great magazine, horrible app
I associate Cricket magazine with high quality, which is why it mystifies me as to why their app is so useless. It never downloads the entire magazine on the first try and I must repeatedly delete and re-download the issue. Past issues mysteriously "disappear" from my library so I'm forced to constantly re-download them. Just awful.

Waste of time and money.
I bought subscriptions to both cricket and ladybug online in March. They worked fine until June and then abruptly stopped. Changed aps and everything and nothing worked. The company suggested that I get ITunes to credit me for lost issues bought through them and gave me no help with getting the ap to work nor did they refund me my money. iTunes has refunded nothing. I am stuck with two useless subscriptions, two upset kids and aps that don't work.
