### 1/5 — Still doesn’t fit my iPad screen properly like other mags do

*2023-03-19*

Can definitely recommend the mag but not the app. Check out Future Music for example. You read in portrait mode. See one full page at a time which is the perfect size for reading. In addition you just swipe from page to page. Pages are snapped to the screen boundaries and do not slide around

### 5/5 — So amazing to have access to every issue! Thank you!

*2023-02-14, version 1.0.1*

I noticed I can change my mailing address for print in settings.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY ISSUES

*2023-02-05, version 1.0.1*

The issues I have bight have been charged to my Apple account and gone through but they are STILL not unlocked a WEEK later. DO NOT BUY ISSUES
