What has happened to the Astronomy Digital magazine...

Morning Coffee 101

Just updated to the latest version with all its changes and massive bulky changes too and two years worth of subscriptions are missing - 2017 and 2018. Unbelievable! Restore has done absolutely nothing to restore a single missing issue - two years worth of issues at that. 2019 seems intact, then there is one issue for 2016 and then it picks up all the earlier years. Seriously, this is how customers who subscribe, paying yearly and monthly are treated - robbed. Until now, there has not been a single problem with the digital magazine - it operated beautifully, flawlessly in fact. This cannot be said now. How can one possibly restore all the missing and paid for issues for the missing two years? You cannot even contact anyone. Disappointing. If this problem is resolved, I will provide a better review and I will continue my subscription. If not the review stands as it is and I will be canceling. I am certain there are better magazines available to give my money and this too is sad because until now I did think the Astronomy magazine was really a great magazine - digital and paper. Update: The developer may respond to an inquiry but if you are lucky enough to get a response, it will be generic and referring you to contact Apple. This app is a mess save your money, look elsewhere as there are several other astronomy magazines, digital and otherwise that are just as good, if not even better, and that will not remove your already purchased magazines. I have canceled and deleted after nearly three years as a subscriber and due to this shady developer I will not be purchasing even the paper issue of this magazine. Why support a business when that business apparently supports and or condones the shenanigans of a developer that removes back issues and magazines purchased outside of the normal magazine itself - this magazine is not worth the headaches.

Poor app unusable

Very low level and effort into the app. Logged out, cant log in, no “forgot pw”. Canceled subscription. Can’t believe how mediocre it is.

Just cancelled my subscription

The new app is cumbersome and unusable. I lost all of my downloads and can’t use offline. I enjoyed this app and magazine for five years, but no more.

Useless App

I just started a 3 year subscription to Astronomy Print & Digital last month, but this app will not except it. Wants me to repurchase the subscription to use it. The restore purchase button does nothing and I’m still waiting for customer service to get back to me. I’m at the point here where I’m just going to cancel the subscription altogether. I would also like to add for the gentleman who wrote the 5 star review “Lazy people these days” the App Support button is a dead link that takes you straight to a page that says, Oops, This Page Could Not Be Found! Very fitting for this app I would say.

No thanks

I already have Sky & Telescope's app and can view the digital version of my print subscription for no extra charge. Why should I pay 42.95 to Astronomy magazine for the same privilege? No thanks!

What about current subscribers??

Here I am a current subscriber who paid $43 for the print subscription and an additional $10 for the digital subscription. So, how does a current subscriber access their issues with this app? This app needs improvement to allow access to current digital subscribers!

So disappointed

I already have a digital subscription and was so excited to see this app. Finally I could have all my magazines in one place. But it was not meant to be. You can not transfer your digital subscription to this app and the price is outrageous for a digital copy. My subscription is up after this month and I have no plans on renewing it.
