app doesn’t work, cannot buy anything
The app doesn’t work, period. There is no option to buy any issue in the app. Clicking ‘subscribe now’ does nothing
Digital access not working
I just recently paid for a 3-month digital access + print subscription to try it out and see if it’s worth it. Unfortunately, every time I try to read a digital article, it keeps telling me to either subscribe or buy the issue. So not worth it. Also, can you just have one app for all of Time Mag across the world and then when you sign in, it automatically takes you to your region’s contents?

A waste of time. Search function no good.
Time A waste of Time. The search function is hopeless. One article on Martin Scorsese? Nothing on Woody Allen? app is garbage. Absolutely useless as a research tool. Search function doesn’t work. Type in “Donald Trump” and it says “no results”. Will not be renewing.
Old v New- Magazine v App
I have lived with Time Magazine my whole life. My parents were in PNG and we had no TV so reading was an integral part of our existence. I have subsequently subscribed to Time for most of my adult life and one of the true pleasures I have enjoyed over a protracted period of time is reading your coverage of many issues. Now I am at the stage where I vacillate between reading the Magazine and the App. Each provides its own positive experience, however, I do lean towards the traditional mode of enlightenment. One of the defining features of technology is immediate access and that, in my opinion, is the most pertinent feature of the App. One can access while waiting for a person of importance purchasing shoes! I enjoy both platforms, the ease of access of the App, and appreciate the dedication, integrity and hard work of the team in bringing the world and many different perspectives to my little neck of the world.

Very disappointed
Have been paying for this subscription since 2017 and since February 2022 have been unable to access or download any new issues even though I have paid for them. Have done all the suggested trouble shooting and still nothing has changed. Have emailed several times and seem to only be getting the run around from everyone involved. Very disappointed in the treatment of my issue.

Unable to login with digital subscription
Sounds like a pretty obvious function that a global media organisation should have been able to get right, but apparently not.
Can’t log in
I’ve downloaded the app and been trying to log in but cannot do this with my subscription. Time needs to spend a little less effort on advertising and more time on getting customer experience right.
Convenient Portable version of time magazine
It is very handy to have time magazine in your pocket when you are stuck in a line, sitting in a waiting room or in someplace where are you don’t know how to spend your time because you’re waiting for something. I should also mention that the quality of writing in time magazine in the last year has improved markedly. The articles are well researched and well thought out

Worst app
I have subscribed for digital version. The app suddenly doesn’t allow me to download Likewise I have many issues. June 22 I could download but not June 15. June 1 is ok. The help is useless. I have made many calls but no use.
New Issues
Quite often App does not download new editions unrelated to internet connectivity. It seems your IT dept. is never on the ball, fixing issues.
SOUTH PACIFIC ?
Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
The South Pacific edition is still very USA centric !
Do you have a resident reporter in NZ or Australia ?
If so what does he/she do ?
Some area specific content would be appreciated.

Time - real news
I have read Time magazine for over 50 years. During those years I have witnessed numerous changes, owners, format, editors, journalists, and quest contributors. Importantly, Time has always remained true to it’s founders, Briton Haddon and Henry R Luce.
The transition to digital subscription will hopefully ensure younger readers include Time as part of their information and news stream.
My family find it quite amusing how I always quote Time as my source of news. Since the early 80’s I have stored my favourite issues. I love nothing better than to pick a year and have a quite look back.

Awful customer service
Be very careful if you want to link your digital subscription to this iPad app. It is three weeks since I subscribed, 6 emails and 4 phone calls later I still cannot access any issues. I should have just subscribed via iTunes.
Is anyone home?
App seems to have stopped adding new editions and often new editions won’t download. Tried reinstalling and nothing. Emails and feedback ignored. Subscription renewal one month away. Why would I bother paying for something I don’t get? Good when it works.
More than 1 DigitalTime App
August 8, 2019
What hope does the Time South Pacific have when it is confused with the Time Asia App which is NOT available in Australia?
On top of that, the App is supposed to know if one’s subscription was through Time itself or through AppleNews which always seems to be more expensive.
Personally, I don’t want to see Apple get anymore of my funds.
Like others, I have lost my ability to download the South Pacific Digital Edition at the end of January 2019. I cannot login through the App and I am convinced my customer number has been given to Time Asia instead of Time South Pacific. (The Time Asia App is NOT available to Ozzies).
If this mess has not been sorted by the end of my subscription period, I will let my subscription lapse after being a decades long subscriber. Steve Madsen

Appalling
Don't think it can get any worse. I'm a long time subscriber yet the new issues are always locked. Occassionally restoring purchases fixes it. I phone the 1800 number listed in the magazine and the recorded message says it can't be connected as dialled. Trashing their brand and I will NOT be renewing. Just awful.

Overpriced and bad
I won’t repeat what most others have said but it’s not been updated for a very long time and is poor quality. It’s also overpriced. $13.99 for a downloaded edition or $9 for the actual copy in the shops. How is the digital edition over 40% more expensive when there are no raw materials (paper, etc), no freight/transportation and little in the way of overheads; just a percentage to Apple (the shop takes a profit in hard copy). Really, don’t bother.

Can’t even get the app to work
Subscription is a waste. Ruining your brand.
