Best review on earth for weird music nerds and on the fringe artists

Hard to read

The app is just the digital files for the print version. Useless on mobile devices unless you have one of the larger iPads.
Bummer. Was hoping to subscribe as the print version is waaaay too overpriced in the US.
I guess I’ll wait and hope they do something properly formatted for mobile devices.

Aditya raj kaul’a review on Kashmir files

Your news Channel no one watch in India. Try your anti India propaganda only in west and Middle East. Get lost from India.

Disappointing

The app only works while your subscription is live. Once it expires you don’t have access to the magazines you paid for.
