I cannot expand the page
I cannot expand the page, so I can’t read it. The apprentice is too small. The page is to fill up my screen on my iPad. Now it does not. The little dots of the upper left are not functioning properly.
Problem logging in
Just subscribed Cant log in to iPad app. It tells me where to find account number but never goes back to sign in fields.
Terrible Doesn’t work
This app seems fine but doesn’t work only ads no articles show up. Besides the fact that is just a pdf viewer.
Could not log in
Selected digital subscriber. Correctly input e-mail & password. The app would not accept them. Great magazine, but I will have to read it on my computer & not my phone.
Two Quick Suggestions
Hi there.
I haven’t used this app enough yet, but I’m willing to try it more (I’m really not a fan of Zinio).
There are many things that can improve the user experience, but I won’t comment there yet. It feels like this app was written by someone’s kid who knows how to write a basic iOS app but is clearly not a professional developer.
1. Use your WD logo for the app icon. What’s there now looks like a default grab that Safari makes for an icon when saving a web link to your desktop. It’s truly terrible. Why didn’t you use your logo in the first place? It’s gorgeous, instantly recognizable to anyone in the know, and it’s your brand.
2. Change the title on the icon to something that fully displays — and displays well. What we see is, “WRITER’SDIG...” The icon I have on my for a saved webpage link to my WD Tutorials subscription fully displays “WD Tutorials” without truncation. WD, WD Mag, and WD Magazine are all shorter, so each should fully display.
These two items, alone, make me question the authority of all the articles you publish on “building an author platform” and any other marketing. People really do judge a book by its cover, and I keep passing over the icon for this app when quickly scanning what I have on my iPad. This just looks like a bad, default save-to-desktop icon.
Once I use the app more, I’ll add more. There are many user experience basics missing.
This app gets the basic job done, but it truly feels like an absolute minimal effort.
