Scam

I purchased this 24 hours ago. My purchase has not been updated in the app even though I got a receipt for the purchase. My free week is clicking away and I can’t use the app. There are not any issues with my Apple Card—other purchases have gone through. CS is nonexistent and non responsive.

No longer showing current issue

Current issue is not showing as available for reading or download. Have always seen a delay between receiving print edition and seeing it on iPad app. But recently it’s three weeks into current issue’s month and still not available.

Minor improvement needed, still good app

I downloaded this app after subscribing in 2023. Ive loved it since. However i own a giant rd collection and can’t take it on the go with me. All your archives span up to 2011, so there is no way to read pre 2010 issues. I wonder if you have an archive of all the magazines you made digitally so that I could read old issues on the go. Thanks!
