Don’t bother if you are interested in keeping up with recent issues. ### 3/5 — Hard crash on open *2024-10-24* Title says it all. Completely non functional on iPhone 16 pro as of last update 24 October 2024. ### 1/5 — Same *2023-11-18* As other recent posters have stated, I cannot access my library and I’m paying for a monthly sub through iTunes but still asking me to buy each issue. Seems like there’s a gap somewhere. ### 1/5 — Can’t restore iTunes subscription purchases *2023-10-10* I’ve wasted a lot of time trying to read the magazines I’ve been paying for. Get this fixed soon, please. ### 1/5 — Can’t restore my purchases and still charging me *2023-08-24* The new app looks great. Just wish I could read what I’m paying for. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! ### 1/5 — Why is it so hard to have an app that works *2023-07-14* Can’t restore my purchases. Has no issue charging me monthly. ### 1/5 — Good mag, terrible app *2022-05-06* I'm just about fed up with wasting time trying to use my subscription. Downloads are unbelievably slow, they usually hang after a few pages. I tried deleting the app and reinstalled it, to no avail. It should not require a genius to build an app allowing subscribers to read this magazine! ### 5/5 — Credit where due *2020-03-03* They have done a lot to get there digital issue, well issue, fixed. Digital issues resolved. Great magazine and they are committed to the fish, the sport and the water. ### 5/5 — App is way better now *2020-03-03* Ive noticed the past three issues (summer, fall, and winter 2019) all appeared about the same time as the print issue in the fly shops, so it appears the Drake’s customer service has finally caught up to its great content. ### 5/5 — Best writing out there! *2020-03-03* Not sure where some of these comments come from, no issues for me at all. But even if there were some, the content would be worth it! Its so easy to sit down and get happily lost in the stories found in The Drake. You can tell - well before the “by line” - that the authors love what they do. Mix in plenty of humor, amazing photography, insightful commentary and it all adds up to the BEST publication available for fly fishing enthusiasts! I LOVE The Drake, nothing else compares - you won’t regret it! ## Frequently asked questions about The Drake Magazine ### What is The Drake Magazine about?
