Unable to read paid for content after update.

I have been a Swipe subscriber for years, but recently I haven’t been using it and went through a subscription tidy up and cancelled Swipe. I started going through all the issues I hadn’t read, about a dozen, then the app updated and now I can’t read any of them, says I need an active subscription. Not happy, I paid for all those issues so I should be able to access them. I would have just emailed app support but the support link is broken in FAQ.

Indispensable

Download old issues? Restore and paste Apple ID. Continues to provide relevant reviews of products and apps without any problems after many years subscription. Essential iPhone & iPad resource!

Love Swipe, but...

Have subscribed to Swipe for a long time but am annoyed by having to restore purchases too often and must manually enter a very long password as it does not provide Face ID. Also, the interface is somewhat kludgy for me as many times when I try to scroll up it goes to the next page so I have to be extra careful. Seems sensitivity isn’t right? Also, the instructions come up when I don’t intend for them to. Maybe it’s me that’s kludgy? Again, love the content!

Usually love it, but it’s not allowing me access.

It says Network Error, but I was able to delete and download the app from the App Store, so my WiFi is working just fine. How come I can’t access my subscriptions??

WHY??????????

I’ve been with swipe going on 3 yrs, scrolled back to look at old magazines and it says you have to pay 1.99. What’s up with that? I already paid for it. That hard up for $$$ huh? Pretty sleazy if you ask me which I’m sure you could care less about the consumer.
