### 1/5 — Same Old Same Old Same Old

*2025-01-11*

(Rerun from 6 months ago.  Absolutely nothing has changed.) Six months ago I gave up on the old app because is was a train wreck. Tried to down load the new and “improved” version. Couldn’t get in. There’s a page where I’m apparently supposed to indicate whether I’m a new reader or…something else. I can’t tell what the “something else” is because there is a promo blurb of some kind covering the page. Can’t get the promo blurb to open, can’t get rid of it, can’t access the buttons that would permit me to move forward. You guys are hopeless.

### 1/5 — Magazine itself is excellent but may be worst app on Apple

*2024-11-09, version 7.2.2*

Been a subscriber for well over a decade. Issues the whole time. Now the new app hasn’t opened for over 3 months. This after my back issues that I’d paid for had been ‘lost’ when they originally relaunched. Reluctantly going to cancel as the complete lack of support just exacerbates the problems.

### 1/5 — Sports Illustrated

*2024-07-12, version 7.2.2*

Can’t submit an order!

### 1/5 — ?

*2024-06-19, version 7.2.2*

Has the Sports Illustrated app been discontinued?

### 1/5 — Not all of the functions work on the site.

*2024-06-16, version 7.2.2*

Why isn’t the archives section working? I’ve sent email after email and no response as to why it isn’t working, or how to make it work! Any help would be appreciated.

### 1/5 — WHERE IS THE MAGAZINE PAID FOR A SUBSCRIPTION

*2024-06-04, version 7.2.2*

And nothing for three months.  Crooks

### 2/5 — App review

*2024-05-27, version 7.2.2*

Why isn’t there links to more articles? Wasn’t there once a daily article for magazine subscribers

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2024-05-23, version 7.2.2*

App not installing. I tried on my phone and my wife’s phone. Both are iPhones after the app installs. It just keeps spinning and cannot buy a subscription.

### 4/5 — Great magazine confusing schedule

*2024-05-01, version 7.2.2*

This is a great magazine with a broad range of interesting articles, I just wish it was consistent in its publication date. No idea as to if or when the next issue comes out even though I’m a digital subscriber through Apple
