When I click the thumbnail, it doesn’t do anything. I have removed it and reinstalled it and still nothing. Prior to the iOS update, I enjoyed it. **Developer response:** Please contact us at 919-688-0218 to address this problem while we work on an update for iOS 17. Thanks! - Coman Publishing ### 5/5 — Great *2015-12-02, version 1.0.7* Blue and gold illustrated is absolute fire. I love it and it has the best Notre Dame info ever. Good app, only criticism is that the panning and swiping of the magazine needs some work. ### 5/5 — So happy!! *2012-11-26, version 1.0.1* As a long-time print subscriber I was very excited to see that this great app is now available AND included with my subscription. I really like the fact that the pages are redesigned just for my iPad and yet perfectly complement my printed magazine. This is one of my new favorites! ### 5/5 — Here Come the Irish! *2012-11-21, version 1.0.1* If you're a Notre Dame you have to have this app. Yes, it's subscription based and it's not cheap ($50 through iTunes, $40 through the BGI website) but it's worth every penny. I have subscribed to the print edition in the past and I love Blue and Gold Illustrated, nobody does a better job covering Notre Dame football and the depth of coverage at BGI is second to none. Not only do you get a great issue each week of the season (out on Sunday) but a newsletter (Wednesday) with late breaking news and a focus on the weeks opponent, depth charts, numerical roster, you name it. Every back issue is viewable with the subscription! Relive the entire magical 2012 season if you want to through the back issues. You can download issues for offline reading but the online experience is enhanced with audio clips, I haven't come across video content but the potential is there. The best coverage of recruiting and solid coverage of Notre Dame basketball. I ordered online (online edition only) and I did have to call to get my account number which is used as the online login. One call, no waiting and I had access to over a years worth of BGI. I love this app, awesome. Go Irish! ## Frequently asked questions about Blue and Gold Illustrated ### What is Blue and Gold Illustrated?
