Account status

The app being open I tap on settings and see myself ‘logged in’. Under subscriptions though I’m asked for ‘login’ or ‘restore purchases’. Login outside the app on The Strad website shows all my details and current subscription. How safe is the app then? Having had issues using the app I contacted cu service, things worked for a while and now it is all back to where it was: not accessible. There seems to be a reason why the last comment on this app is 14 yrs old.

misleading

The app is good but subscribing through Apple does not get you all of The Strad content that is emailed to you.

Makes you rate the app every time you read a magazine

You can't open a magazine without being forced to rate the app. EVERY TIME! Stupid and pointless. I have deleted the app and will cancel the subscription.
