Wasted space on my phone

I’m getting ready to delete this app off my phone because it doesn’t open. Whenever I got to launch it, it’s just the ombré blue-black background with the white people text and that’s it. Nothing else happens. I have yet to see what the content within the app looks like.

Response from developer

Hi there, sorry you’re having trouble opening the app. Some users who pre-ordered ran into this issue because the latest version didn’t auto-download. Updating to the newest build from the App Store usually fixes it. If the problem continues, please email us at appsupport@people.com with your iPhone model, iOS version, and app build. We’d love to help get you up and running. Thanks for giving the app a try. —The PEOPLE App Team

Waited 3 weeks to get new app…not seeing previous magazines

Approximately three weeks ago, my People app quit working properly after contacting Meredith, they gave me a workaround so I could see the magazines which was great. Today the new app was available and all I get is a summary page, no magazines listed, no previous magazine is listed. As a People subscriber for many decades, but a digital subscriber for several years also, this is a very disappointing app. Please tell me that you are still working on Combining the old app with the new app. My digital subscription was just renewed through September, but if I have to use an app or website and everything to get the information I was able to get on the previous app. It will be my last subscription. Please fix this. This is ridiculous.

Hi there, we really appreciate you being a longtime PEOPLE subscriber and understand how frustrating this experience has been. The new PEOPLE app doesn’t include full digital magazine access, but you can still read your issues through the Zinio app using your existing subscription. We’re continuing to improve the app and your feedback is incredibly helpful. If you have any trouble accessing our app or have more questions, feel free to reach out to us at appsupport@people.com. Thank you again for your support over the years. —The PEOPLE App Team

Downloaded app. It requires logging in. It won’t let me log in. Oh, well. 🙄

Beautiful and entertaining

I have loved People magazine and the People.com website for years so it’s really enjoyable to see the same entertaining content in an even more modern format. I’d love to see the additional of comments to take it to the next level!

So much fun

Omg this app is so addicting. Subscribed to the magazine for years and I’m so glad they’ve brought that experience on the go

All the news, none of the noise

This app is a breath of fresh air for people who want to keep current on celebrity and pop culture news without the clickbait and negativity taking over other social feeds. I love how fun and easy it is to use. It’s quickly becoming an antidote to my daily doomscrolling!

Great app

Great UX. Would be good to have health content on here too
