Bull****

They keep trying to extract money from me. I really ticked off. I paid $48 for the full ride but they can’t get their act straight. A shame
Some functions work well, others ...

In its regular display mode all works as you would expect them to. However, the reading mode is quite frustrating. When switching between normal and reading mode the app frequently losses its place and you have to either guess if you need to scroll up or down, or, go to the table of contents to realign to the correct page. There is a similar fault in the reading mode. If you need to change font size, which is a must for me, the display will send you somewhere else ever entirely. And for some inexplicable reason they have failed to add a function for a user default font size.
Lots of bugs in latest version

In the archive view, only some of the issues show if they have been downloaded. The download/trash bar at the bottom of the cover thumbnail comes and goes as you scroll and doesn’t show up at all on the right column. The previous version was user friendly. The update is almost to buggy use. I may cancel my subscription until this is fixed.
They broke it.

With the new update when it try to restore Apple purchases, it just sits there spinning forever!! Wonder if I can get my money back?
Worthless

Once worked however now does not. You call for support and they steer you elsewhere? Ripoff
Unusable

I’ve subscribed to this magazine in digital format for some eight years. I’ve always been able to read the issues I liked. Alas, not anymore. The current software is not only painfully slow, it utterly clutters the view with large irrelevant thumbnails (which seems to be one source of software sluggishness), making navigation next to impossible, while disabling the ability to properly zoom in the actual reading material, which is typically printed in a minuscule font, thereby rendering it unreadable for even mildly farsighted (and perhaps even normal-sighted) people. It also deleted most of the issues I had downloaded. Given the lack of technical support, I was left with no option but to cancel my subscription and to uninstall this now useless app.
New app is terrible

Without warning, this new version of the app showed up. Clunky and unusable. Endless spinning disc on startup. Magazine is great, app is a disaster. Please fix soon!
It's sad to see a good app destroyed like this.

This new app, version 7, is a complete redesign from the ground up of the previous Astronomy Magazine app. Unfortunately, the result is terrible. This new app crashes all the time. It's slow. No enough zoom. Badly designed. The worst thing is, the previous version of the app worked well. Why did you change it? It was a really nice app. I will wait one more month and then I cancel my subscription. I cannot read the magazine in this app. It's unusable. The Sky&Telescope app for ipad is not great, but even that is better than what has been done here.
Can’t download my issues

Keeps asking for a password but I signed up through Apple ? It’s not rocket science people. I’m so disappointed. Can’t read my favorite mag ☹️
