User reviews

Canโ€™t access my subscription

Purchased print+digital version, I cannot access the digital version with this app. Tries to force me to buy new subscription; horrible app.

Digital Subscription Access

This app doesnโ€™t access the digital subscription purchase from Smithsonian Magazine. If you already have a digital subscription you will need to purchase it again through this app.

Misleading

You have to install the app to realize it's a subscription based version of the magazine. Mention about in-app purchase is missing. Deceiving.

App crashes

App crashes whenever I try to open it. Please fix immediately.

The โ€œTap to Subscribeโ€ button is off the screen

As much as Iโ€™d like to get a digital version instead of killing trees to have a paper edition, I canโ€™t subscribe because the stupid button to double click is off the screen. Good web design, Smithsonian!
