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 ### 1/5 — How long do u have to wait. *2015-04-16* 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! ### 1/5 — Love the mag and content but... *2014-07-18* ...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. ### 1/5 — Not Great *2013-07-30* Compared to other magazine apps for the iPhone this one is lacking somewhat. The layout of the columns is too wide and so if trying to fit onto the screen it makes the print very small and hard to read. If you zoom in then some of the text goes off the screen and you are constantly scrolling from left to right. ### 5/5 — WSC *2013-02-22* Great magazine ### 5/5 — Best football mag bar none *2012-06-05* The best football magazine / fanzine in the world, beautifully rendered for iOS. 'Nuff said. ### 4/5 — Love it *2012-04-28* The app is great, the magazine is fantastic and I love the archive after subscribing. ### 3/5 — Alright *2012-04-15* It's good but it could be great ## Frequently asked questions about When Saturday Comes ### What is When Saturday Comes?
