Download, then download, then download….?

When you download a new issue, it should download-completely. I download a new issue, then expect to be able to read offline. But no, as I get to each article in the issue, it needs to download that article. This applies to each article in each issue. Frustrating!
Small Text, No Flash

The digital version used to feature stories in landscape orientation with attractive transitions between articles and pages and photo slide shows. The most recent version switched to portrait orientation and is essentially an uploaded version of the print magazine. It is page for page the same with no innovative use of the digital technology. It's as if they just uploaded a PDF. This format makes the text very small, especially on an iPad mini. I can't imagine trying to read it on your phone. Show some creativity!
Why the downgrade?

After years of providing a great digital magazine it's now been reduced to a simple PDF? I've already disabled auto renewal since I'm not paying a separate subscription for this. If the digital product doesn't take advantage of the platform, I'd prefer to read the paper edition.
I Just Cancelled My Subscription
Mr. App Skeptic
As per the previous reviewer, they just switched to a strictly PDF format. The previously interactive format was brilliant. It contained multiple tap to view images and pull-downs where you could view more information. It was a joy to read. Unfortunately this format is not. What a bummer!! If you are considering subscribing then you have been warned!! You will be extremely disappointed.
PDF- not a digital version- should be cheaper

Why did you do it? Why would I pay the same money for this ? Oh well, good luck. Sincerely, Former longtime subscriber
I can't believe they stopped digital edition
Brett Melillo
What on Earth are they thinking by switching from a gorgeous digital edition that was interactive and made reading it so fun to a PDF copy of their print edition that doesn't even fit on the iPad screen? I can't comprehend this change. If this is not fixed, I will be cancelling my subscription like the other reviewers.
No longer formatted for mobile
Crashes again
The old version of this app was formatted for landscape viewing on a mobile device. It was readable without having to expand the print (reverse pinch) and move the page around on the screen. It featured slide shows, pop ups with additional info and nice transition effects. The new version is just a digital presentation of the print magazine. It's the same crappy presentation as other (low tech) magazines. How do I apply for a refund?
Nearly useless

My subscription is active and I am asked to buy a new issue that doesn't appear in my Library. The trick is to restore purchases. This app beats paper, but only barely. This app is about 1% of the potential of an emagazine, but even the best are only 2%.
Good app

I'm liking the app it has a nice flow to it. I want to see what it's like after a few days of using it.
