Doesn’t work

I’ve been an iPad subscriber for many years and all of sudden cannot access new issues, just old. Restoring doesn’t work, deleting the app and reinstalling just lost me access to old issues.

Currently can’t use

Have been subscribed for a few years now but suddenly can’t read issues. Restoring purchases doesn’t work.

Worthless on an iPad Pro

Upgraded to an iPad Pro. Now I can’t restore or sign in using my iTunes account.

Crash and Burn

Why do I keep trying with this magazine? The app crashes and closes out. I have to restart it and open from the front page. Completely frustrating.

Great magazine poor app

Keeps quitting in unpredictable ways. Occasionally some issues don’t load properly. Can’t be shared with family sharing.
