Not Worth It

Been reading this in paper format since 80s .. took out a subs, great on the iPad, so convenient .. however, after subs ended, no access to the mags printed during my subs period

other mag subs add their mags issued during your subs period to your library and you are able to access these specific mags forever, as you have bought them

WSC in fact only allow you to access THEIR library, and you don't get to keep the mags you "bought" during the subs period .. not fair WSC, because if I subscribe to the paper version you don't ask me to send the mags back .. nope, you're being greedy, so jog on .. tough times, your model will send you to the wall if you're not careful

not recommended, spend your money elsewhere

Good, but...

Good app, but would be better if the WSC podcast was available on it too

Great magazine

Is a great read and good value. Is great having every issue available too.
Only slight issue is when it downloads a new one there’s an alert sound which plays and then keeps repeating, often for minutes at a time

How long do u have to wait.

Absolutely without question the worst garbage app in the Newsstand store. Not the content but the App itself.

Constantly have to endure the spinner waiting for it to do whatever it does. Nothing happens for mins on end (feels like hours) and then suddenly Issues appear.

Same issue trying to connect to iTunes login to authorize the App.

Of all the Newsstand Apps I have, which are simple to use, WSC is an example of how not to do it par excellence.

iPad Air2 with iOS 8.3 No excuses!

Love the mag and content but...

...the app is such an amateurish affair that the customer experience is beyond dire.

Apart from Monocle this is the only mag I'll buy in paper format.

Shame.
