Huge improvement
Eric S .
Much happier with new TIME app that was just released. Landscape use on iPad feels natural and is easy to use. Double tap to zoom in on single page of two page layout, for text that is easy to read, and double tap again to zoom back out. Reader view for longer articles is clean & enjoyable to read. Finally have the ability (in Reader view) to select words & look them up in iOS dictionary, as well as save/share selections of text. Only remaining wish is to be able to save entirety of select articles (text & images) to Evernote for personal reference & easy search. Thank you TIME for the big upgrade!
“New” app is merely a reader view—what?!

Review of Time’s “new” app (11/17) It took a year for Time to release a new app to replace their PDF magazine view. The only difference is now we can put an article in reader view—a feature available on mobile devices for years. What took so long?! And there’s still no easy scrolling or bonus features. Stop hanging on to your print magazine layout and go back to your fabulous digital app of 2015. My review from a year ago: I only read Time on my iPad so I have it wherever I go. Now it's just a worthless PDF of the print version. Photos split across two screens, font too small, no bonus content. I'm so disappointed! And this seems to be the only place for feedback since Time doesn't allow posts on its Facebook or Twitter feeds. The whole digital department must have been let go. Epic Fail
Wow! A step backwards.

Why mess with something that works fine? The update is slower and much less appealing. Please don’t update unless you like frustration, poor navigation and a less attractive product.
Much improved

New version is much improved over the previous version that was a glorified PDF. The new reader view solves the issue of having to zoom to read articles and the pagination bugs appear to have been fixed.
Subscription lost with app update

Subscribed into 2018, but get only 15 pages per issue, with offers to extend subscription. "Restore purchases" does nothing. Asked to sign in, but email address not accepted.
Font Too Small to Read

In the past, the iPad version was wonderful — 5 stars. Then they converted to pdf and it was so illegible that it was useless. Was 1 star but upgraded to 2 11/17 since you can now actually read it without a microscope. However, no bookmarks, doesn’t keep your place so you have to try to remember what you were reading, then actually try to find it, which is not so easy. Probably will not renew. By the way, Newsweek is still very readable in the iPad format and holds your place.
Newest Version is horrible

The older version of this app was easy and perfectly fine. Now I️ cannot even purchase or download a single issue. The only option it allowed me to select was to subscribe. So I️ then went online and paid $50+ for a subscription and then logged in on the app. It still did not work. I️ am still unable to purchase or download a copy of a single issue.
No access to iTunes purchases since new app.

Since updating to the latest app, I no longer have access to my subscription purchased through iTunes! I have restored my iTunes purchases, but that doesn’t work and none of them become available. Hard to believe that an app could be released without checking this! I contacted customer service last week and reported this issue, but the responses that I got have been largely nothing to do with the problem and of no help at all, it was as if they didn’t even read my emails, just sent standard replied. To repeat, I had no problem with the previous version of the app, since this one came out, even after restoring my iTunes purchases all of the issues covered by my subscription are locked. I have deleted the app, reinstalled and tried again many times. I have paid for my subscription, it is valid through January 2018 and yet I have no access to my issues! Tried again as I have done everyday so far to restore purchases and today it worked, have access to my subscription again!
Used to be Great! Now it’s just a photocopy.

If you have had this subscription in the past you know how great it once was. It used to have interactive media. Now it's just a scrolling pdf. I recently subscribed again and wish I had not. I expect more from Time. It’s clunky trying to expand without moving to the next page or navigate at all. Why did Time choose to take such a backward step?
