However, recently my IPad has stopped recognizing my digital subscription and when I try to access an issue, the app seems to think that I should pay for each issue…which has become VERY annoying. And to top it off, this isn’t the first time I’ve had this problem! Ugh! I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, I’ve synced my library, I’ve restored my purchases, and Iast week I reached out to support (with no response). Nothing has fixed the issue and this is my last straw. Thanks People magazine, but it’s time to say goodbye. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking time to give us a review.

Should be one of the perks for online issues. Also have been a long time subscriber (over 30) and never get any specials like new subscribers get like tote bags, etc. Now I can’t get my current issue to load. Always something with this magazine! **Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for your feedback.

But every now and again I just randomly stop getting my (paid for) issues and it’s almost impossible to get any help! I’ve lost or missed so many, and at this cost, this shouldn’t happen. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to give us a review, sveinsonj.

I paid for the subscription through Discount Magazine on Feb 14 and never received any issues .I have been communicating with them ever since without success . ( they are telling me you are the problem ) Today I finally expressed enough displeasure to have them agree to cancel and return my payment .

Long time subscriber with auto renew. Happens ever so often requiring intervention by People. Very annoying! ### 1/5 — No access *2022-07-10, version 204.7.8* I am having the same issue with all of the others. No access!! And unable to restore. I sent my issue through the app support several days ago and have received nothing. Please advise. I have pay yearly and have missed months at a time because of the same issue. ### 3/5 — Need help *2022-07-08, version 204.7.8* I’ve been receiving people magazine I did not describe with you guys and I just want to make sure how do I remove this from it it’s getting sent to my house ### 2/5 — Magazine refuses to download anymore on iPad app *2022-07-07, version 204.7.8* I am a longtime loyal customer, and I recently renewed my direct print+digital subscription for an entire year. Ever since forking over the latest batch of my hard-earned money, the digital issues have stopped showing up on my iPad app; only the print issues are being delivered, which do not help me much since i travel so much and so prefer reading the digital editions on flights and in hotels. I do not see any content in my App Library (even after multiple syncs), and I have also deleted, downloaded, and logged out/in of the app multiple times. I sent in a complaint via the app a few weeks ago, and still haven’t heard back. If I do not get any resolution within a week, I will be forced to cancel my subscription. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking time to give us a review.

I get notifications that they are available but they are not there. This is ridiculous that I, and it looks like others, cannot access what is paid for. Please fix it! ### 1/5 — No access to new issues since December!! *2022-04-21, version 204.7.5* I have done everything suggested to access my magazines. I have been charged, I have synced, restored purchases option several times, contacted both Apple and People developers and still no solution!! What the heck needs to be done to get access to something I PAID FOR?! ### 1/5 — No access to issues *2022-04-17, version 204.7.5* I’ve had this app for years, and update it. All of the sudden, I can’t access a single new issue.

App is noted working for me. ### 1/5 — After more than 5 years, download is not working *2022-03-21, version 204.7.5* A month ago People Magazine stopped downloading new issues that I had for over 5 years.
