## What is Powder Magazine?

Jake and Dave Moe founded POWDER in 1972 as an alternative to the other, uptight skiing magazines. "To us, powder skiing means freedom, with an emphasis, not on how you do it, but just on doing it more," they said. That's what we're still trying to do. Powder to the People.

### 1/5 — App keep crashing

### 5/5 — Melhor revista de ski for sure

*2019-04-09*

Materias interessantes, histórias muito bem contadas e fotos powder. Vale a pena assinar.

### 2/5 — Like going back in time

*2018-10-25, version 5.2*

Why can’t be more interactive? So 90s to simply port the content to a screen.

### 5/5 — Works fine

*2018-10-08*

Haven’t had any issues with this app not performing As expected. I’m using an iPad 4.

### 2/5 — User Interface

*2018-10-03*

I love the content but I wish the magazine was responsive to my device meaning it just naturally fits my screen. I get it you are appeasing your advertisers etc, but you should check out how The Athletic app is designed. So much easier to read the content, not shrink/pinch/expand.

**Developer response:** Hello Valued Customer. We do have an alternate viewing experience for you to be able to better reader the articles in the Powder app. It is called the responsive view. We have a banner at the top of the app that explains how to get to this viewing option. If you need further assistance, please email us at ziniocms@enthusiastnetwork.com and we will guide you. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Can’t restore purchases

*2018-07-19, version 5.2*

My subscription goes until November 2018.  It just says restoring purchases. Still can’t access magazines.  The reinstall doesn’t work.  This app is broke.

### 5/5 — Much improved App!

*2018-05-03*

The app developers have significantly improved this app. The problems I had previously experienced have all been fixed  and I can now highly recommend this app.  Great job Powder!

**Developer response:** Hello Valued Customer. Can you please email us a detailed description of your problem to ziniouser@enthusiastnetwork.com at your earliest convenience? Thank you.
