How do I get it to work since I have paid for it. ### 1/5 — Subscriptions don't work *2013-06-13* As title your subscriptions don't work ### 1/5 — Not working *2013-05-11* Just bought this mag and it will not open ### 1/5 — Not working *2012-06-21* Paid, downloaded, and enjoyed 2 issues...then it stopped working. Deleted and reloaded and lost all back issues...so far it's a waste of money and time. ### 1/5 — Won't work *2012-04-07* I've had no end of trouble with this app. I paid money for a dark screen at this point. Lost lots of time trying to navigate the process for nothing. How aggravating. ### 1/5 — Bull *2011-11-26* Said it was free, made me pay for it ### 1/5 — Poor *2011-10-27* The type in this app is small and when you zoom all you get is a slightly enlarged blurry type. If you need glasses you may find this very difficult to read. It needs to have proper scalable type like other titles not images of the paper mag. ### 2/5 — Update Does Not Load Older Issues *2012-10-30* I was pleased to find this magazine here in the App Store, since it is difficult at best to find it at any newsstand. Since updating the app, not a single purchase of older versions work. Tap the cover, it appears to load and then the entire screen goes blank. Fortunately, I am only out 3 issues, but will not invest anything more. ### 4/5 — Just the best *2017-01-12* I am not a full blown carver, I'm a Woodturner who likes to carve a little as well. I have been reading this magazine for around 17 years, in hard copy and now only on my iPad. The mag has moved with the times and presents well. I love the quality of the pictures and the incredible work that is shown. This mag is for the beginner and for intermediate, which is where at best I put myself, as it shows the best of the best as well I have to assume the advanced folk like it too. The editor does a great job on this mag and Woodturner mag ### 4/5 — Howard Jones *2013-08-01* Great to get this amazing mag in electronic format, means I can carry loads about wherever I go. Also enjoy that there are extra pictures on the I-pad version.
