The app performs poorly
The digital edition used to be working flawlessly.
Unfortunately, for the last 2-3 months it has had several issues where the app does not download properly or does not download at all.

Poor
Very poor customer service. Every time a new issue come out it will NOT load properly on the app. All the old issues are fine, but the new one doesn’t. So I call RD and get NO WHERE. Still unable to get the NOVEMBER/December issue. Why have an app that doesn’t WORK. You want everyone to go digital yet your app doesn’t work 3/4 of the time.

Better Business should check out Reader’s Digest
I have had a subscription for Reader’s Digest for over 50 years. I changed from the mailed magazine to on line because I got tired of magazines not being delivered.
I started my digital subscriptions through Amazon and got a while everything was fine until the month before I had to renew. Then suddenly I could not access the magazines I had bought. I tried to deal with the publishers but hit a brick wall. I like the magazine so I thought if I bought my subscription through Apple instead of Amazon it might solve my problem. It did not!
I bought my latest subscription in September of 2025 with a renewal scheduled for mid September, 2026. Unfortunately in August of 2026 my app will not access anything at all. I have talked to Apple who worked with me to try and access my magazines but could not. I have sent all the information available from Apple to Reader’s Digest to get their help but all they look at is the cancellation of my subscription renewal with Amazon in 2025 and not my new subscription through Apple in September of 2025. I guess I will have to give up on reading a magazine that I had enjoyed for over 50 years. Apple at least generously has refunded the original purchase price they took 11 months ago.
