### 1/5 — Print and Electronic versions

*2014-04-15*

I too wonder why if I subscribe to the print issue, why I cannot get it electronically also for when I travel and don't want to carry along the larger magazine.

### 1/5 — Still no print subscriber support.

*2014-01-22, version 1.1*

Why not?

### 1/5 — Digital should be included with subscriptions

*2013-09-22*

In my opinion, any magazine or newspaper that tries to charge me twice for the same content loses my business. Like wine enthusiast, a magazine I've had for years. It's 2013 get with the program.

### 1/5 — Could not get app to work

*2013-09-07*

Downloaded the application; paid for an issue; went to read it and I got a compatibility error saying I had to download a newer version. I did re-download but same issue.  My version of IOS is 6.1.

Very disappointed and a useless app and purchase.  I was thinking of purchasing a subscription to the magazine but based on this I will no longer consider that.

### 1/5 — rip off - should not pay twice for same content

*2013-08-15*

should not have to pay for an iPad subscription when I have a paid print subscription.... Food and Wine does it right!

### 1/5 — Horrible experience so far... WE - total fail!

*2013-08-12*

1. I got the paid subscription to the magazine so why should I have to pay for the iPad version.

2. A big name like WE shouldn't be so slow to update their products. This makes me want to cancel my subscription, but I already paid for two years. Get with the program WE or I am calling for a refund.

I got the paid subscription for the magazine and when I downloaded WE to ipad, only April 2013 appears. It's September and they do offer "in app" purchase at $2.99 but only have June 2013!!!

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2013-05-31*

When I open the app, there are only two options to choose from: a one year subscription, or the May 2013 issue.  I was hoping to see more issues to preview, or browse through so I might be able to purchase a single issue.  The Zinio app does a better job of this - displaying more magazine issues to choose from.

I hope they improve this app.

### 1/5 — After subscribing no magazines download

*2013-05-24*

Paid for a subscription, no sign of missing issue. Clicked "restore missing issues" but still the latest (May) issue is missing from my library despite "Missing issues restored message".Option to buy it for $2.99 remains in store. 

The support button on this page redirects to a generic contact page on the mag website with no reference to the ipad app. Pointless app if subscription doesn't work. 

Please fix now and in future test before releasing.

### 1/5 — Looks Good

*2024-03-30*

The app looks good, but I can’t seem to subscribe. They have lost me as a potential customer.

### 1/5 — No longer supported

*2017-05-09*

The last issue is April 2017. No new issues will be made available. That was also when my subscription re-uped so it seems I'm out the full years fee.

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2016-05-07*

Using the iPad Pro (original), I can't return to the library after opening an issue without deleting the app and downloading it again.

### 1/5 — Why Pay Again if I Pay for Paper Subscription?

*2015-12-12*

Please follow the lead of other magazines and include the digital version with the regular subscription.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2015-03-20*

I paid for a paper subscription but I cannot add my subscription info in order to view it online also. I can with other magazines.

### 1/5 — I have to pay twice?

*2015-01-07*

It makes no sense why you would make your print subscribers pay AGAIN for the digital edition.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2014-11-16*

I just paid for a 1-year subscription, downloaded December's issue, and the app won't open.  What a waste.

### 1/5 — Why double charging print readers!

*2014-10-24*

Why must I pay to download electronic copies of a magazine I subscribe to in print?  Since you print you magazine in a large format that is difficult to travel with this is even more annoying.  Get with the program!

### 1/5 — App does not work properly

*2014-06-02*

Every time I try to open an issue a message saying newer version of the app is needed yet there is no update.  Where is the update being referred to?

### 1/5 — Well, worse than no print syupport...

*2014-04-30*

It is April 30. The June print issue has dropped yet the most recent issue on iTunes is April. Not even May. This was a complete waste of money.

### 5/5 — Love this wine magazine

*2021-02-18*

This is my go to app to find the latest and greatest on wines! Great job!!!!

### 3/5 — No print support

*2014-03-06*

My wife has a printed subscription and thought it would be great to store older magazines on the iPad. Why isn't there an update for print users?

### 2/5 — No print subscriber support

*2013-12-10*

Why can't I credit my print subscription toward the digital download?
