Offline wont display magazine covers

I download the mags after purchase. Once i disconnect from the internet i can no longer see the magazine covers. Wasn’t like this before the revamp. Could you all fix this? I hat hunting for the issue i may want to read just because i can’t see the cover.

A great magazine!

Very happy that I can now get the print edition of Future Music on my iPad. Wonderful design and great reviews and information.

Didn’t connect with my online account.

It took me three weeks to be able to get back all of my issues from my online subscription. I went through numerous emails and then I tried something different and all of a sudden it worked. I was not happy with tech-support in any means. Love the magazine, but it seems like they do not care about their customers!

Paranoid app

You can download magazines, but you can’t view them offline. You pay for the magazines, yet you have to connected to view. The more magazines you download the slower the app is to open.

I presently have a 128gb iPad Air 2, I have all the back catalogue downloaded and now the app won’t open, it simply stalls showing a blank screen. My older 32 bit iPad 4 has about a dozen magazines downloaded and has no problems opening.

So much for the future.

Always slow, purchases disappear

This app is a disgrace. I know that printed media suffers a lot these days, but this app is unusable.
