Blows, no iPhone5 support

Mr. NoKnock

It's basically an image view that changes pages when you drag it far enough. Perhaps a 7yr old made it. ;-) Better off viewing the website in a browser.

This app crashes every time I open it on iOS 7.0.2. Only way to fix is to uninstall the app, reinstall the app, restore purchases, then redownload every purchase. Needless to say, this is time-consuming. Then, the app works fine ... for a few days. Inevitably, the crash problem comes back, and I have to redo the ridiculous reinstall procedure just to get a few more days of reading before it goes into constant crashing. As such, this app is unusable. And if I'm going to pay full retail prices for a digital copy (I must be crazy!), then this business model is a failure. I might as well just buy it off the shelf at the store - at least the print copy doesn't crash! Please fix, or lose another customer. (FYI, also happens with Discover Magazine.)

App crashes

More than six months not being able to use it. Yesterday an upgrade says it fixes a issue of the app crashing which I did. Tried to open and guess what the app does not open still crashes!!!! Why would you pay for this.?

Paid twice

I like Astronomy's content, but I thought paying twice for the magazine to get it to download it was a little excessive. Now I get the joy of having to try to get my money back from a product that doesn't seem to have any customer service.

Good for nothing.

I'm not sure what this app is for. It doesn't do anything except take up disc space. There should be some kind of disclosure on apps letting people know what it's good for. This is a waist of time and nothing but an advertisement to buy products. Very surprised Astronomy mag would allow this or produce it. 1 star only because zero wasn't an option.

Best Astro Mag

Just like the print edition. Only thing to make it better is to offer all back issues if you have an active subscription.

iOS 8

Ever since the iOS 8 compatibility update I try to open up the magazine but it just crashes right after it says astronomy!

Great app!! ???

I used to subscribe Astronomy magazine and Sky and telescope in print. This app is extremely awesome?. I noticed Sky and Telescope app has undesirable reviews...I'll probably wait til app is fixed ?

Faithful subscriber

Maybe I'm out of touch on the whole digital subscription thing but I've been a subscriber of this magazine for YEARS I thought I just needed to register somehow and see all my magazines that I collect already on phone or iPad. If I'm wrong for the two stars my apologies but I can't see paying that much for looking at magazines that I already have in my possession so I'll just continue looking at them the old fashion way by licking my finger and manually turning page by page.

must use wi-fi to read

You must have a wi-fi connection in order to read your "downloaded" issue of Astronomy magazine. Something about "authorization." So carry a cell phone hot spot when going to a star party. If on a plane read National Geographic it works everywhere.
