I've been reading this magazine for many years and have always enjoyed it immensely. The app version is even more enjoyable.


Terrible App and Even Worse Tech Support
Very Good Recording!!!!!

This app has gone from mediocre to terrible. Every time a new issue becomes available, the app ceases to function and crashes. I have to delete it and reinstall it to get it to work (which means I have to redownload all of the issues that were archived on my device). Given the fact that downloading an issue is a long and cumbersome process (much longer than any magazine app I use). I have reported this on several occasions to their customer support and have not had the courtesy of a reply or fix. Many times have I truly thought of canceling my subscription because of this. I would also give e them a D+ grade in readability. They need to move to article view capability, like Condé Nast publications use, rather than the outdated “pinch to enlarge an article” approach.


Where's the free CD?

Where's the free CD? The printed magazine comes with a free CD. This does not.


No US support

Does not support free access (as it claims) to US print edition subscribers


These guys need to get some remedial math training . . .

A six month subscription is $26.99, while a twelve month subscription is $59.99. Hmmmm . . . seems to me I'd get the 6 month subscription, then let it renew in 6 months (for a total of 12 months), and I'd pay only $53.98 (saving $6.01 over the "great deal" on the annual sub). Lordy, and we all thought the British had some brains.


No US support and not mentioned except by reviewers

Wrote to confirm and this is the response ------ Thank you for your email. Unfortunately access to our iPad app is not currently free to our subscribers within the US, due to access issues. We are working to make this possible but do not have a specific date which I can pass onto you at present. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. -------- This should be noted on iTunes and in the magazine. Of course, should I pay, I can access the content. This therefore seems more like a (bad) business decision than a rights issue. And it certainly been managed badly.


Huge disappointment!

As a subscriber and fan of the print edition, I was eager to try out this ap. Unfortunately, there is only an unresponsive window for print subscribers to register. Don't waste your time or your money on this, it doesn't function!

I say exactly the same as the first review.


Free for print subscribers?
Daithesong

Claims to give free access to print subscribers, but US subscriber numbers don't seem to work. And it's months later, and they still don't work. And as noted in July, the math is off, the 1 year sub being more than twice the 6 month sub. Face it, these people really want to annoy their american market. And in the latest version, the link to even try to enter your subscription details seems broken. sheesh.
