### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2026-06-25, version 9.7.0*

Has to be reloaded often. Royal pain.

### 4/5 — Good but needs fine turning

*2024-08-20*

Make the blue text working hyperlinks.  Make the page numbers link to the page they reference.

### 1/5 — Recent reviews right on target

*2023-12-16*

Took a shot and subscribed awful app shows why publishers are dumping print versions. Total ripoff don’t even bother

### 1/5 — I have to contact support each month go download

*2023-12-02*

Horrible app. I am ready to cancel my subscription. I have to email customer support each month to download.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-11-15*

This app used to work fine but September was the last month I was allowed to read the mag. It will not populate my library any longer so I was not able to enjoy October  and now November and I am about to request a refund it happens on both my iPhone and iPad which has the newest versions and I redownload the app simply crap.

### 1/5 — Can’t use when flying

*2023-11-11*

Unless you’re connected to the internet it requires you to “sign in”, which of course you can’t do when flying internationally. Their tech “support” dept is worthless.

### 5/5 — I miss the actual paper magazine

*2023-05-20*

( I used to have every single copy printed) but this is almost as good.  
And it is a lot handier because I always have my phone with me. 
Nice job guys and gals!

Have an iCloud based subscription but yet any current magazines are not available for download.  Very frustrating.  Have tried restoring purchases several times, no joy.

### 1/5 — I have to contact support each month go download

*2022-11-13, version 9.6.3*

### 3/5 — Can’t read on a plane

*2022-11-02*

It seems to require an internet connection, even if I load the issue before takeoff.
