I can’t get the app to work anymore on iPad. And even when I did get it to work, I couldn’t see past issues nor would it really save where I was at. Can’t we just go back to print????

Good articles, but hard to find in the somewhat clickbait articles popping up first. It sometimes reads like Buzzfeed. Which I love, but I don’t have this app for that type of content. The app is also full of Google ads (even though I pay for the app) pop-ups and lots of articles about products ‘you should buy’ on the homepage (Latests) I’d like more info and articles about actual popular science.

I could read and catchup on articles offline while on a flight (airplane mode). I should never have updated to this version as I knew they would be up to some fu-shi (rhymes with duck fit) since they let go so many of their staff and discontinued the issues. Now you can’t read anything offline. Uninstalled and cancelled subscription. Good riddance. I’ll download pdfs rather since they’re now encouraging this.

I can’t download any issues, so I have cancelled my subscription. A lot of apps have gone to requiring one to register an account even though purchased through Apple, I don’t know if that is the case with this, but if it is, then good luck with that, you won’t be getting any more money from me unless I can see the issues that I have already purchased. Update: Apparently I could restore purchases on my iPhone, but not my iPad, which is where I originally purchased the subscription. So bye bye…

I just downloaded this on IOS and am unable to read anything after paying for the 11.99 subscription. Very disappointed. I downloaded this because the magazine is 15 dollars in the store but a year long subscription to the magazine is 12 dollars. Please fix it.

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. My only complaint is that I purchased the subscription through Apple and it syncs with my phone but not my iPad, which is the device I want to use the most for reading.

Wanted to go on a camping trip and read a few back issues downloaded to my iPad. Turns out, if you’re off-line, the app can’t call home to the mothership to authorize the content on your own iPad. Fail.

could hardly appreciate the app and the articles, as after paying for a month subscription the app is still offering to subscribe, the articles fail to open. could I get access to what I paid for?
