### 5/5 — Great magazine but a couple of app issues

*2019-11-04*

The Magazine is great. It’s a fantastic escape from the pressures of life. They could sometimes do with a bit of proof reading for some of the submissions but it all adds to the charm. 

It’s a shame that some of the offers that are available to subscribers of the print edition aren’t available on the digital one. Things like a free wagon kit or five issues for 5 pounds. I don’t know if that is because a big chunk of the money goes to Apple.

The only annoyance is the app often won’t open if I have no internet connection. Also when it does open in such circumstances, I’ll get about three messages saying I’m not connected! I don’t care. I just want to read my magazines! Please fix those issues. 

Otherwise, keep up the good work.
