Continually crashes

This has been a great app over the years, and is one of the few apps I use on my iPad, but right now it almost continually crashes. It doesn’t matter whether I’m reading the mag or syncing mags.

Big con

I have had a monthly subscription for this magazine for many years and today when I went to read the latest magazine, found that my account was inactive. Tried many things to activate it again, but to no avail. I then went to try and read a previous month’s magazine which I had purchased and downloaded only to find that I could not read it as my subscription was active. This is a big con, I paid for that download and now I cannot read it. This is just like having a subscription for the hard copy magazine and then when you cancel your subscription you have to return all the magazines that have been sent to you. This could be fraud by false representation as I have paid for a magazine which I can no longer read and I cannot find anywhere were it states that I am only paying to loan the magazines whilst my subscription is active. New subscribers be aware of this, it is a big con.

Won’t recognise subscription

Great mag, read it for 40 years. But now it won’t recognise my subscription. Really hoping this gets fixed as there is no real substitute of similar quality

Doesn’t sync your app store Subscription

If you subscribe via the app store it won’t sync/activate your subscription on the app, despite the fact Continental Modeller works fine.

Log in fail constantly

I cannot log in with my Exact details. At all. They are the correct details but it won’t let me log in. Quite frustrating when I would like to read the digital edition. I subscribe so I would prefer a more efficient app experience.
