The iOS edition brings you selected pages from the latest issue as soon as it is published. Within the application you can upgrade to full access, which brings you every page of the issue and a searchable archive of back issues (to 2007).

These will remain in place if your subscription expires, unless your device removes them (for example when running low on disk space). Re-downloading issues requires a current subscription. • Swipe or tap the page edges to flip to next/previous page. • Use the animated thumbnail view to flick through the pages. • Pinch or double-tap pages to zoom. • Switch between single or double-page view. • Search the current issue or the archive. • Tap any page links to web sites, email addresses, phone numbers or maps. • Tap contents-page links to jump to a particular article. • Sync the latest issue to your device for offline reading (requires wi-fi). • Sync additional back issues by tapping the stars beside their names (requires wi-fi). • Network connection required otherwise. We recommend first running the app within a wi-fi area so it can sync the latest issue to your device - after that you can use it anywhere. Subscribers will receive new issues automatically.

If I did, which my bank account says so, where is my pdf? What do I own? And why is the in app magazine low resolution? I read better resolution magazines in small town library sites than this. Disappointing to the eye. ### 3/5 — Bad resolution and no pdf download! *2025-06-27* As someone who has paid for subscription, I expected better resolution and a pdf copy of the issue I purchased. This doesn’t seem to be the case. ### 5/5 — FINALLY UPDATED!!! *2022-08-02, version 14.0.8* WOW THANKS YOU FOR TAKING FOREVER TO UPDATE THIS APP!! ### 4/5 — Fascinating *2011-11-06, version 5.0* As a fan of banned books and active supporter of the First Amendment of the US constitution I found this mag very interesting. I don't want anyone's putting their hands over my eyes or their fingers in my ears. The format is a bit clunky for an iPod. The pinch and zoom features often take several attempts before I can move a paragraph to a comfortable spot on my screen and viewing images is even more of a challenge. ### 1/5 — Not the kind of thing I expected from apple *2010-11-02, version 0* Terrible and skewed. Not appropriate because bias is unbelievable. ### 2/5 — Good idea but… *2010-04-20, version 0* I wish this app was better but it is rather useless & slow on my iPhone, maybe it's better on an iPad? You are essentially downloading a PDF or something and I deleted it after playing with it for five minutes. Because it's free I gave it 2 stars. ## Frequently asked questions about Index on Censorship ### What is Index on Censorship?
