À fuire

App catastrophique. Abonnement payé pour un an et je n’ai pu voir que deux numéros. Depuis l’app crashe, ne reconnaît pas que je suis abonné et m’indique que je ne suis pas connecté à internet. Message envoyé mais évidemment sans réponse. À ce niveau c’est de l’escroquerie…

Almost good

I’ve been complaining about this app for years. It’s almost working now for subscriptions. But I still have one complaint. If I happen to forget to open a monthly issue before the next comes out, that previous issue is unavailable to me unless I buy it. If I have a one year subscription it shouldn’t matter whether I open it on time or not. Come on Downbeat, just do things right.

I was wrong. It’s doesn’t work.

I wrote a review saying that they got this app working but it looks like it doesn’t. I subscribed, I got the current issue, I bought some back issues. Great. But now a new issue is out and the only way I can see it is to buy it. I restored purchase, no problem with that but it didn’t change anything. DON’T SUBSCRIBE TO THIS; YOU’LL ONLY LOSE YOUR MONEY. Come on Downbeat; how hard is it to get your subscription process working. You’re so close to having a functioning app at long last.

Frustrated

Never recognizes my subscription through apple even after hitting restore. This app is not good for that nor is it a good reading experience

Seems to be working now

I wrote a one star review several years ago when the app stopped working and I lost all my back issues and the price of a one year subscription. I just tried it, committing only to a monthly subscription, and it works! Latest issue downloaded and I can scroll through it properly. Yayyy!
