Won't update, won't download.

I have enjoyed my digital subscription until recently, when it appeared as an update in the App Store. It never did update itself, so I deleted it from my Newsstand, and tried to download it again, with no luck. I want my magazine back!


Will not down issues

Will not download any issues. And because or that, I will not buy a subscription.


good content bad app

Love this magazine, in fact I somehow have two subscriptions to it. Though it doesn't automatically download new issues or offer notifications when a new one comes out. And it seems to 'forget' my login because I need to log in every couple of times I access it.


Good Magazine, Very Bad App and Website

RoxDon

What good is a subscription to an eMagazine if you can't download issues in the app without buying them again, when you try to log into the website it won't let you see more than the first paragraph of an article (or even the contents of the issue) despite telling you you have a valid subscription, the online User's Guide is useless, and every link on every page leads back to another subscription or buy the issue offer. Save your money and just get the paper version if you want it. What a joke that "Scientific" American is not capable of mastering the same technology that fashion magazines have been successfully using for years!


Took my money and didn’t give me a subscription

I purchased this magazine via iTunes one year ago and have never had access to the app to be able to read it. Scientific American Mind blames iTunes and iTunes blames Scientific American Mind. Neither company has offered a refund or a hard-copy subscription - they just continue to expect me to jump through hoops. As much as I enjoy this magazine, I won’t buy it again and I won’t buy a subscription to any other magazine via iTunes. This debacle has cost both companies a customer.


Wonderful online magazine

The articles are fascinating. The visual layout is beautiful.


What a fraud!

The magazine is worthwhile but the iPad version is worthless. There's zero customer support and it's a nightmare trying to download issues - especially when you're trying to restore purchases. It won't download in the background and most of the time even when I'm sitting in front of my iPad glaring at the screen it will download an issue sloooooowly almost to completion and then revert to a place a third of the way down the progress bar with a message saying it can't be downloaded at this time, try again later. It's an endless exercise in frustration. Too bad I can't give the app zero stars.


I love reading this magazine.

I subscribe to the Scientific American magazine, too. The latest medical treatments are discussed within it. You might what to tell the doctor something of a new treatment that he might not be aware of its existence.


Excellent Magazine

I find these types of magazines very interesting -- a perfect read on my iPad when traveling.


Great read!

SciAm journals always have interesting content, always something new to learn -- even in topics where 8 have significant expertise.
