User reviews

Doesn’t restore my subscription. Shambles

Really really upset. That’s all I have to say. I seem to have lost half a years subscription

WHAT ABOUT EXACT EDITIONS?

I have an Exact Editions subscription which I can’t access via this app. Very poor treatment of existing subscribers

Works for me

I was apprehensive when I saw a new app for my subscription, especially seeing the critical reviews. But I clicked on the option to download previous purchases and the app came up fine. True, it didn’t reinstate my previous purchases, but I was still able to download any previous edition right back to the 1940s with no trouble at all. In fact slicker and clearer than the earlier app. I wonder if the fact I still run iPad 18 has anything to do with the my relative success?

Not for Exact Editions

This app does not now work if you subscribe digitally via Exact Editions. You have to use the “Exactly” app from Exact Editions to read RM if that’s where your subscription is through.

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.
