DOESN’T WORK!!!!

Tried to download magazine but keeps asking me to log out. Everything is fine on the web but not on the app. Waste of time. Also tried to contact customer services, surprise, surprise this also doesn’t work.

Used to use this app to read S&S

…since v3.0 came out, it does not download/allow me to see new issues. It just tells me my email address.

I am paying a subscription fee to have an app tell me my email address.

Update please!

A refresh to make this app more usable is long overdue. Such a shame, does not match the quality of the content.

When it works...

the content is great..But every now and again the app refuses to get beyond the loading screen and I have to delete it from my ipad and reinstall it. What a nuisance.

Convoluted, barebones bot working

It took me a few weeks and multiple attempts to figure out how to log in but now it's working and I can read all issues all right. It's nothing more than a wrapper and I'd pay more to be able to download the magazine in pdf instead and read them elsewhere, but hey, at least I can read them.
