Needs major overhaul! – Autoweek Mag App Review

The Pixelmags app, used by several publications including Autoweek, is not terrible, but it's close. There's nothing above and beyond what you get in the print edition, such as interactive content, videos, etc. Something I find particular annoying is that if I've been out of the app for more than a couple of hours, even if I haven't actually closed out the app on my ipad, it forces me to log back into my account when I switch back to the still open app to start reading again. This is extremely frustrating, and should absolutely not be necessary. And worst of all, you MUST be logged in to view content, so if I'm in a location that does not have Internet, I don't have access to my issues. This is ridiculous. I've already downloaded the issues! The whole point of digital magazines is being able to take them with you wherever you go, all on one device. Eliminating this feature makes the app almost completely useless to me. I've contacted the developer directly about this massive shortcoming of the app and they didn't have the decency to reply. My recommendation; If you're able to get your magazines in Zinio, DO IT! Once you've downloaded an issue in Zinio, it's yours to read whenever you choose, Internet connection or not. Imagine that! If I could give the app zero stars...
