How to work app / sync devices

Hello Happy Helpers!

I have an iPhone, an iPad mini, and an iPad Air. Unfortunately I can’t figure out how to get readable print - or sync my devices.

Need advice on syncing*

Need guidance on getting readable sized font on each device.

Look forward to your response,

Misleading description

When the description of this app says you get “selected pages from the latest issue” with the free version, it means the cover and contents/contributors pages.
That’s it.
Terrible business model. I’m obviously not going to subscribe if I can’t sample even the tiniest morsel of content. Whereas give me an article or two to get me hooked and then I’m much more likely to subscribe to get full access.

App made by an Ape

The worst app ever. So frustrated with and it blurs every time I zoom in. It's not responsive with modern day technology. It's at least 5 years behind compare to other app.
So so frustrated!
