Reviews
Mark As Read
Coodie iPhone
The app is decent. I do love reading the magazine on my iPad. But for the love of all things holy, add a “Mark As Read” button! I always forget what issues I’ve read and which I haven’t. That and way fewer ads would give this a 5 star rating.
Can’t login

Used to login and have all my magazines there to read. Now when I login it says I have to buy everything again.
Great way to read Popsci

I've been using this app for over a year with no issues. After reading the physical magazine for many years I've completely switched to the app now. It's a fair price for the content in my opinion, especially if you have a yearly subscription.
Hard to use app.

I have signed up and paid for a yearly subscription, but can not access the application. The system just keeps telling me to retry. If and once you can access the magazine the content is amazing.
Love the mag, app is trash.

I want to open the app and read my mags. I constantly have to re-download. Just terrible.
Lates magazine will not down load

I can not down load the latest magazine on my iPad. But it will down load on my iPhone. My yearly subscription was purchased on iTunes. I really like magazine so hope there is a fix coming soon.
Extremely bad app
Victor356
The app seems to be an iframe and not native app. This makes the user experience jarring and terrible. This is an app for reading, but the reading features do NOT work, the app just loads forever. If you’re just going to deliver a PDF then do it but do it well.
No access to content for print subscriber without paying again
Charly Om
No print subscriber access without paying again. The support FAQ days they are aware and to log out and back in which doesn't work, but the fact it is in the FAQ means to me no plans to fix and the whole sorry keep trying position feels like a scam. I will gladly change this review if I am contacted with a fix in less than a week, IV waited two already without being able to read what I paid for
