What gives?

"November issue is ready for download" but it wouldn't because I need to an updated version of the app which does not exist in the App Store! What a rip off. This is nuts. This is hard to believe that PC Mag publishes an issue that needs an updated app but they don't update the app. I deleted the app and reinstalled but that does not work. Going to call the App Store and see if they would refund my money. Version 2 does not have any of my purchased issues, iTunes keeps saying it takes few minutes to restore but it has far more than minutes. PC mag app is a disaster
Newest version does not work

I'm having the same issues as others. After the new version was downloaded, my library was empty. It keeps asking me to subscribe (I am a subscriber through iTunes) and it says it may take a while to restore purchases, but never does. Please fix this!
Please bring back the old interface

I've just downloaded the new update and I hate it. It's very confusing and hard to find what you want. There's no more scrolling down to read an article. You have to choose articles from a menu and read then in sequence. Don't like it a bit.
Just Don't Bother

This app just doesn't work. It asks me to create an account and then tells me my username and password are invalid when I try to log in. I guess they had to pay Zinio, which worked fine too big a cut.
Don't buy a subscription

Can't access anything after signing up for a subscription. Current app keeps requiring an upgrade and nothing happens. Useless ripoff so save yourself a hassle and some cash and don't subscribe
The new app does not work

So, replacing an app that worked with one that does not work must have been an executive decision, because, you know, it reduced expenses and made the bottom line look better. But, wait until the next quarter when most of the subscribers have fled. Why would they leave? Simple; this app just does not work as it is impossible to sign in and download paid for content. So far, no help from PC Mag support either. John Dvorak may have some appropriate pithy commentary.
Why bother?

It doesn't work. I tried resetting my password twice ... and nothing ... I don't even get an email to reset. Back to Zinio - which works just fine.
What Is The Purpose?

The app doesn't work. You would think that a company devoted to all things PC would make sure their app works. I was receiving my PC Mag through Zinio before (forced to when PC stopped publishing a physical mag), which only merited one star at best. Now I can't get the mag on Zinio and no matter how many times I try to log into this one, it says the e mail and password don't match. It lets me change passwords and then still won't recognize the login and password. So, I have paid for something I can't access? I am about to contact my credit card company to cancel my subscription. What a waste of my time.
Total crap

Usually updates improve an app but this is horrible! While a tablet novice may find it easier to swipe one page at a time, anyone with experience is going to be frustrated with the limitations. I've been a PC Magazine subscriber since we used to think a 10mb hard drive was the pinnacle of storage capabilities, and we were wowed by the upgrade of the 8086 chip. This is a huge backward step! Dump this version and go back to the previous one until you can make an actual improvement!
