Unable to Renew Subscription through Apple

Like the magazine, but the app is horrible. Recently noticed that my subscription expired and the app gives no option to renew through the apple App Store. AI help on google states that you now must create an account and sign up that way. That is exactly what I liked about using apple, no separate account to deal with. If I can’t manage it through my apple account, I will no longer subscribe.

This magazine about computers is easy to read no gobligook and has the same articles as other harder to understand.
