The iPad/iPhone edition brings you selected pages from the latest issue as soon as it is published. You can subscribe within the application for full access, which brings you every page of the issue and a searchable archive back to March 2006. Issues are not sold individually - for the duration of your subscription you have access to every issue in this archive.
During your subscription you can sync back issues to your device. These will remain in place if your subscription expires, unless your device removes them (for example when running low on disk space). Re-downloading issues requires a current subscription.
• Swipe or tap the page edges to flip to next/previous page.
• Use the animated thumbnail view to flick through the pages.
• Pinch or double-tap pages to zoom.
• Switch between single or double-page view.
• Search the current issue or the archive.
• Tap any page links to web sites, email addresses, phone numbers or maps.
• Tap contents-page links to jump to a particular article.
• Sync back issues to your device for offline reading (requires wi-fi).
• Network connection required otherwise.
We recommend first running the app within a wi-fi area so it can sync the latest issue to your device - after that you can use it anywhere. Subscribers will receive new issues automatically via Newsstand.
Subscriptions are available within the app at the following prices:
£9.99 per year
In addition, please note the following standard features of auto-renewable iTunes subscriptions:

So glad to see this publication make its way to Newsstand. I appreciate the access to back issues with a subscription and updates for iOS such as clickable links on contents pages (although these are strangely lacking from the cover page). Good job!
This may be a decent app for reading a paid subscription, but the free version itself has nothing to offer.
The design of this app doesn't even remotely consider a mobile platform. It's like trying to read a PDF document. Also, I should only have to sync an issue once, not every time I open the app.
