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 😫 ### 1/5 — Not a friendly app *2020-01-15* This app stopped functioning for over a month and there’s no help as yet from developer to the subscription I purchased using the app. ### 1/5 — Can’t use existing subscription *2019-04-05* 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. ### 1/5 — Avoid Version 2.1. Previously bought editions vanish! *2018-02-21* 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. ### 1/5 — Horrible Update! *2017-11-30* 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 :-( ### 1/5 — No digital subscriptions for print subscribers? *2017-04-23* In 2017, it's not acceptable to fail to provide access to a digital version to your print subscribers. ### 1/5 — Can't Read on iPhone 6 Plus *2016-12-27* 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. ### 1/5 — Nothing loaded *2016-12-07* I really hate this. I do not know, this is my iPad's (version 4) problem or this application. ### 1/5 — Love the magazine; hate the app *2016-07-03* 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. ## Frequently asked questions about AFAR Magazine ### What is the subscription cost for AFAR Magazine?
