The app is great but no longer links to my subscription. I have renewed…the subscription was a gift so it's registered via my email. When I log in with Exact Editions it does not recognise my email. The app is great, the link to subscriptions (and easy log in) would make it worth the while. ### 1/5 — Great journalism terrible app never connects or downloads on time *2023-02-03* No one available for assistance Still love reading but not worth aggravations ### 1/5 — Do not purchase LR’s digital subscription! *2019-02-06* I had subscribed to this journal for two years via iTunes, and honestly I am not purchasing any more digital subscriptions. Unlike most other digital subscriptions for journals, this one does not allow you to see/download any issues during the subscribed time. This is ridiculous! ### 2/5 — Way out of date *2024-07-28* This app hasn’t been updated since Before Covid. It has no “view as text” option, though you can enlarge the text with a reverse pinch. You can’t forward an article to a read it later app & get it in readable form.You have to page forward to get to articles appearing further into the magazine. In essence, it’s just a replica of the print version. This magazine is very good and deserves a better app. ### 2/5 — WARNING! *2013-08-28* If you take out a subscription through this app, you will not have access on your PC, but can store them on iPhone. Take out a subscription on the website, you have access on PC, but can't store them! My advice: Until this kind of legalistic nonsense is resolved, subscribe to the paper edition. I wish I had. ### 3/5 — no access for print subscribers *2011-10-21* I have subscibed to the print edition. is the ipad edition included in my sub? (just like the spectator etc) ### 4/5 — A Feast of Words *2011-10-20* 40 dollars for a year's subscription and six year's worth of archives? Looks good to me. Exact Editions magazines are what the name says - exact copies (pdf?) of the print edition, not electronic versions. This is ideal for non-ephemeral magazines like LR, where layout and typography are important. Navigation is primitive - I should say 'traditional'. Best suited to iPad, I suppose. But worth it, in my opinion, for the elegance - and the historical record. ### 5/5 — Content 100% - navigation somewhat dubious *2019-01-01* I reall appreciate the ability to access past issues. But I really find navigating the app almost beyond me. How do I get out of “issues”? No idea. HELP NEEDED. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2011-12-03* This is a great bonus for bibliophiles like me. It's good value for money particularly with all the back issues that are available. A quality magazine available without the bother of storing print versions - presumably this is "greener" too. In a word - fantastic. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2011-10-25* As good as the London review of books, but I have not had access to this magazine because I live in California. I love that I can discover this publication through the iTunes newsstand! ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Literary Review app *2011-08-01* Marvelous app. Great support, with clearly intelligent, well trained, and solicitous professionals. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
