You can’t even log in with the app. K terrible and no response for support
Just keep failing authentication even credentials work perfectly in other platforms.
The subscription price on the app is 2x the cost of the digital subscription. Wow. RS. You have lost the plot of customer service.
Amateur app. Get rid of the app adds. We pay for magazine content
Don’t buy a subscription for digital access to magazine. It will not work.
Just spins and spins. Dumb.
I turned OFF notifications because I dont want them, it wasn't an error. Now, every time I open the app, there is an annoying popup wanting me to turn on notifications, and even a link to take me to the settings! I’m almost to the point where I just cancel the subscription and delete the app.
I’ve done everything I know to sign in and stay signed in. If you’re lucky enough to find a sign in link, when reading a story, beware about leaving the app because the minute you leave the app they sign you out. And then you can’t sign back in.
The app just doesn’t work
The app just stays on a red screen and never "opens." Deleted and reinstalled multiple times. It's basically a scam - subscribe to a red screen!
App does not work and Apple will charge you for subscription and then not refund your money when you find out the app does not work. Rolling Stone and Apple are scamming customers with this app.
Rolling Stone Magazine app has not been updated in a year per App Store and does not work with current iOS release on iPad. When opening the app it shows a completely red screen with “Rolling Stone” printed in middle of screen and is otherwise completely frozen. Called Apple Tech Support after deleting and reloading app. They refunded my remaining app subscription and advised I purchase a new subscription to resolve the problem. Purchased a new subscription and same problem. If there is still a software development team working on this app out there somewhere can you please update it to work with current Apple iOS and iPad and notify subscribers when it is safe to purchase a subscription.

I paid for the mag, downloaded the app and, 10 minutes later, was still staring at a red, cover screen. Apparently Jann Wenner wrote the program for this app, turning it into crap like everything else he touches.
The app hasn’t worked for a couple months. Apple referred me to Rolling Stone customer service, which keeps telling me they’re escalating my complaint to the IT department and they’ll get back to me. Then — nothing. Disappointing. I’m a longtime Rolling Stone subscriber, and they’re better than this. Meanwhile, I had to install a pop-up blocker so I can read the web version of the magazine without the constant, annoying pop-up ads.

Absolutely worthless app. Delete reload. Nothing works. Just as well. Been reading RS since the early 70’s. Hardly a shadow of its former self. Gone so far downhill. Shameful.
Have been RS digital subscriber for years but cannot access the content as it only loads a red screen. It has been this way for weeks and I cannot believe there has not been a fix or an explanation!
The app stays frozen on the red opening screen and stays that way. It’s been like this for months.
I pay for a digital subscription and this so called app only shows a red screen & logo. Nothing else!!
Nice red screen. #1 Fix the App #2 Fix the App #3 Allow landscape rotation on iPad
App hangs at Red Screen and will not load - 2 months and counting with no apparent resolution.
