  • No way to access as a print subscriber

    Ridiculous that in 2024 a print subscriber can’t access the digital editions.
  • Looking for old app

    I had the Afar app on my old phone and I loved it to reference great, off-the-beaten-path spots when I travel. I used it to plan trips and get input from other users. The new app doesn’t even let you search multiple issues?! I’m mad I paid for the subscription. I have to go issue by issue to research my trip 😫

  • Can’t use existing subscription

    No way to log in if you have a print subscription and last app update was over a year ago. This should be removed from the App Store honestly.
  • Avoid Version 2.1. Previously bought editions vanish!

    Updated feedback re v 2.1.1

    Problems persist exactly as reported in prior version. (see below) Attempted to renew subscription, and as before, app is simply incapable of displaying latest edition. I have now cancelled the subscription and requested a refund.
    ....................

    Up until this latest version - 2.1, the digital editions of Afar magazine rendered beautifully on the iPad via the app. With this update, all my previously purchased editions have vanished. Drop-down menu designed to restore issues simply does not work. While it indicates that all issues have been restored - this in fact is untrue. All my earlier editions purchased with a subscription have entirely disappeared and attempts to restore them are hopeless. The loss of paid for content is extremely frustrating and obviously in need of a rapid fix.

  • Horrible Update!

    App update deletes all downloaded issues and then doesn’t allow you to access those issues (even though you’ve already paid for them). It’s so bad that even with a current subscription you can’t access the current issue. Totally insane situation. Unfortunately AFAR customer service is clueless about their own app :-(

  • No digital subscriptions for print subscribers?

    In 2017, it's not acceptable to fail to provide access to a digital version to your print subscribers.
  • Can't Read on iPhone 6 Plus

    Love this magazine but it is a waste to buy it for an iPhone. The ZOOM option doesn't exist so unless you want to read the articles with a microscope... it is a complete waste of your 20 bucks.
  • Nothing loaded

    I really hate this.
    I do not know, this is my iPad's (version 4) problem or this application.
  • Love the magazine; hate the app

    I paid for an issue although the app promised I'd get a free one; neither one has ever loaded. A great let-down from an otherwise good publication.
  • Subscription?

    The only magazine that I bought twice and I still do not have access, despite restoring purchases, reinstalling and praying to the gods of iTunes subscriptions and IP protection. Well, I suppose I have to give up trying.
