### 1/5 — Not working?

*2021-03-20*

March 2021 seems to have stopped working???

### 4/5 — Issues Resolved

*2020-02-28*

Earlier reviews commented on the loud commercials. These have been removed.

I’d give it a 5 but the viewer doesn’t open to the full screen by default. You have to expand the pages manually.

Overall very happy with this app now

### 1/5 — Does not work, but will take your money

*2016-09-12*

Love the magazine but I just spent $10 on a magazine that downloaded, but isn't available anywhere to read

### 1/5 — Loud commercials ruin experience

*2013-11-10*

Loyal Alpinist reader. Magazine is 5star.  iPhone app is offensive. Peacefully reading a great climbing story, then BAAM!!! Loud commercial like advertisement when you flip the page... Ad pages are one thing, waking up the entire family with a loud intermission is unacceptable. Company advertised is 
like retro bolting punks blasting music at a crag.
