Have trouble connect to the internet in Mainland China region

Cannot open the app in Mainland, China region. It says SSL error:(

Active subscriptions work again!

Thanks for updating the app so I can read all of my issues again. Looking forward to additional features in the works.

Old Issues have Disappeared

I subscribed to this for 2 years but now all my old issues have disappeared. I no longer have the login passwords for most of the issues to restore them. I had purchased them so I could practice Japanese while studying the language.

Slow and crashes a lot

Iโ€™ve been trying to subscribe for the last hour but the app is tediously slow to load and crashes frequently that itโ€™s practically not worth using. It would be nice to read on my devices but I will be purchasing the paper copies instead.

Response from developer

Sorry for the disappointment. Finally, the App has revamped by a new developer. In the year 2020, further new functions are coming up. I hope you will keep tracking on us and continue using it. Thank you for the comment.

Pretty bad

Iโ€™ve spent at least the last hour going around in circles trying to associate my subscription with the app and it looks like a lost cause. In addition, the link to the developer site isnโ€™t working (at least not for me at this moment) and the website doesnโ€™t seem to have a contact for assistance. The magazine is good, but it may be better to go with paper copies for now until the electronic side has better development and support.

Many flaws

User interface is awful on an iPhone - too easy to make it jump out of an article when you are just trying to zoom in. It's taken 3 months for 1st 2017 issue to appear available for download. The App does not sync at all with iTunes, and neither does it's downloaded issues. Pity because the written content is very good.

Where's My Purchase?

Purchased an issue from the in-app store and it didn't show up on my bookshelf. I refreshed the app, restarted my iphone, and still nothing.
