Regret not reading reviews. Nothing loads. Lost about $30 for a year subscription.

Uninstalled, money grab, does not even run in landscape on a tablet!

Unusable. Doesn't recognise or restore purchases. Reading experience painful as opposed to the free pdfs. I wanted to support the publishers without amassing stacks of paper magazines but it's impossible. I'm off to write my own app that downloads the free pdfs instead. Shame.

I want a refund for my month of subscription because this app is a pile of dogshit. Its too sluggish to use. And then I google and its free to download the pdf's! Which works 100x better than using this crashing,sluggish crapfest. I feel really tricked. I really want a refund because this feels like i threw money in the toilet and flushed it away!

App is super clunky and slow, no easy filtering. App crashes. There are many magazines with empty pages. This is very frustrating and unacceptable for anyone promoting the use and education of technology. And who boast the accessibility of information and technology.
