Great mag, poor presentation

I love AP and have read it on and off for years. But the present is this app does not do it justice.
The whole point of a photographic magazine is the presentation of great images. It is impossible to look at this images properly especially when they are a double page spread. Other apps do this better (see the Sunday Times) - click on the image and it goes to full screen.

Not bad but....

The general presentation is excellent, however there are a couple of really irritating bugs.
Page six always opens blurred for some bizarre reason. You have to swipe past it and then back again to get it sharp.
The library page always opens in portrait orientation, even if your device in in landscape, so you always have to pick it up and twirl it around to get it in landscape. Not a biggy, but after several months of doing it, you’d be amazed just how irritating it can become.

Love the App and Magazine

The magazine is great and extremely informative, nonetheless I would love to see more how to and top tips.

only worked for one download

Tried to do a second issue, says the purchase went through. No way to download it. just get a preview screen. No answer from support email sent earlier today. Will update my review if problem fixed.

Back-hander?

'Requirers iOS 11.2 or later'; I'm stuck with iOS10.
Given you are not displaying the latest issues on the old app I guess you don't want to sell any more. Actually I haven't bought a single e-magazine on this paper-weight since that awful rubbish piece of software the publishers fobbed us off with a couple of years ago. At least a paper mag remains mine.
Q Magazine seems to have gone down the tubes, who next I wonder.
As far as elppA is concerned it only takes one cook to spoil the broth.
Old-school coder.
