What is going on with the iPhone app? It doesn't show the latest three issues to be downloaded ### 1/5 — App Broken with iOS 8.1 Update *2014-10-27* This is one of my favorite apps to finally be made digital. The interactiveness of the app is great, with fluid motion. Having the app on my iPhone & iPad has allowed me to have every copy available to me anytime. Since the release of iOS 8.1 the Men's Health App quit working. Please update the app with compatibility for iOS 8.1 and the iPhone 6+. ### 3/5 — Won't update - can't get new issues *2014-10-06* I've been a subscriber for six months and thoroughly enjoy this magazine. Recently unfortunately it has been unable to download any new issues of the magazine. I truly hope you get this sorted out soon so that I can continue to enjoy Science Illustrated. ### 1/5 — Poor service, ignorance is bliss hey!!! *2014-08-21* I love this magazine it's great, well researched but after recently getting an iPad I wished to move my purchases over to that for the bigger screen, before I had purchased, it said iPhone/iPad compatible! Contacted App Store who asked me to contact science illustrated for answers! Despite numerous emails I have had no replies let alone answers. It appears science illustrated is more than happy to take your money but that's it, I refuse to buy this now even if it is a good magazine! The people over at science uncovered are much more helpful!! Avoid like the plague!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great magazine *2014-07-24* Great content in these magazines. Very nice photos as well. Highly recommended. ### 3/5 — Subscription canceled to publish online *2013-10-23* Months a go they canceled my subscription. This us when I had it on paper.just to publish it online ### 1/5 — Infuriatingly low resolution images throughout *2013-07-19* The images all seem to be low res, meaning if you zoom in on iPhone to read the text, all of the imagery is pixelated. Considering the name of this title, 'Science Illustrated,' I think it is ridiculous that the images are of such poor quality. Writing a complaint after posting this !!! ### 2/5 — Fix the newsstand bugs in this app *2013-05-22* Push notifications don't work in this app to tell you when a new issue is available if you are a subscriber, and the cover icon does not update when a new issue is downloaded. Please fix. ## Frequently asked questions about Science Illustrated ### How often is Science Illustrated released?
