TIME Magazine Reviews

It seems like every time you “update” TIMEMagazine, it stops working on my iPad! This is the FIFTH time I have had to complain because I can’t access my issues. Now, after the 9/17 update, TIMEMagazine won’t even open!! After the last failed “update”, I changed my subscription to month-by-month; seriously, why do I continue trying to use TIMEMagazine?!!!

I am unable to download the newest issue of TIME Magazine and have been unable to do so since it came out this past Friday (6/11). I get the message “Error occurred - please try again”. This also happened with the previous issue, which I was finally able to download the following Wednesday.

Prior to this I have not experienced any problems. Please fix this ASAP.

Looks like many complaints with similar problems not being able to access issue. Also looks like it takes months to get a response. Ever since I renewed my subscription in September, I have not been able to download a single issue . I have put in new subscription account and reset password multiple times. Have frequently had issues with app over the years, but this is the first time I can’t get access to any issues for nearly 6 months.
Help will be appreciated.

Once more I have the problem of getting the sign to “Buy Issue $6.99” on my IPad when I already have a paid digital subscription that has several months to go on it. I tried signing in again, I tried changing my password, nothing works. Have had this problem before, most recently a few months ago. Really frustrating. I won’t be renewing again if this continues. This is highly unprofessional.

For the past 3 years my app has stopped working, even though my subscription is valid. Every time takes about a week to get the correct person to help me. Each time is a different problem. None of my other online magazines have ever stopped working. When this subscription runs out I will switch to Newsweek even though I like the Time content. Don’t understand why they have so much trouble with TIMEMagazine .

The Ipad app stopped showing new issues in the Library several weeks ago. I have an account paid for. Attempts to work with TIMEMagazine did not work. I refuse pay double for print and digital, which is what I see. I cannot locate any tech support options.

Problem solved now. Time should make support more obvious. I will raise rating to 3 stars.

Why have I lost access to the magazine issues themselves? Since the summer my only avenue to issues is through Apple News +. Otherwise TIMEMagazine asks me to buy each issue again or subscribe through iTunes in addition to my magazine-and-digital subscription though TIME itself. Meredith and ZINIO blame each other and, meantime, no issues since July so I wait for my week.y hard copy. Please fix!

I am a print subscriber who has no trouble accessing TIMEMagazine and did not have trouble accessing the magazine. However, recently I have not been able to view new issues without being asked to buy the issue or start a free trial. I have reinstalled TIMEMagazine but that doesn’t resolve the issue.
This seems to be the same problem that another reviewer wrote about.

Update: The developer helped resolve the issue. I needed to log out then log back in and sync my library in preferences. It works well now.

As with many others, after renewal in March, could no longer access my Time digital subscription. Spent an afternoon between Time and Zinnio customer support without luck and gave up during a chat with a Zinnio rep. A week later, I received an email from Z restoring my access. Better late than never and appreciated the follow-up.

Enjoying the Time Magazine app quite a bit. One feature that I would enjoy more would be having TIMEMagazine remember and open immediately to the page where I left off reading. All of my book and library apps do that. With the Time Magazine app, I have to always select the magazine issue first, then press read to get to where I left off.

The developers fixed the issue very promptly and I can now access current and past issues. Thank you!
This is so frustrating and aggravating! I have deleted TIMEMagazine , reloaded it, logged out and in so many times. The FAQ on TIMEMagazine is not helpful at all.

I think you guys really listened to my criticisms a couple of years ago, because I am finding TIMEMagazine to be just about perfect now. In the past, I had logon issues because of differences in TIMEMagazine and accessing via the Web, and also I had to logon after updates. That is no longer a problem, and I’m finding it’s very useful to have the whole paper magazine on my iPhone, every single page! Thank you TIME magazine. If you can find my old review, please delete it.

I started reading Time in 1977, the year after our youngest child was born. I have fallen behind in the past, but stuck with it until I managed to catch up to the current issue. I want to learn and grow. Being able to read Time on my iPad is incredibly useful. No matter where I am, I can download the most current issue as soon as it is available. Please keep up with the excellent reporting.

A happy subscriber, Shari Baron

Digital extras are very good, digital edition is available one-to-days before my print subscription is delivered. It's nice to be able to access the latest edition when I travel.

I love the articles and how easy it is to access the magazine better than going to the news page on the cell. Keep it going TIME!

I can never have a successful week unless I have read my issue of TIME from cover to cover, sometimes even including the ads like the tutorials about why China is really GREAT(?).

TIMEMagazine is new to me (2 months); since first syncing it, I have not read anything in the paper copy.
Some minor problems:
Have not found a way to get the pages or PDF bottom menus to show reliably; it seems almost random, but I’m managing ok. Really need click points for these in all reading modes.
When mag simulation page is manually expanded for easy reading, it is sometimes impossible to move forward a page, so have to go back first, then it goes on forward..
Otherwise, it is great.
This week’s library display says June 1, but it should say June 1/June 8.

I have a print subscription with Time Magazine which allows me to also read the digital version. I’ve had no problem doing this on my iPad until today, when I open TIMEMagazine my only options are to purchase a new subscription.

The iOS app does not function. It shows a white splash screen and a buffering symbol, but does not open up at all. Can this be looked at please.

Update: The iOS app now functions flawlessly. Thank you to the developers for looking into this and responding expediently to fix the problem. I now have access to TIMEMagazine and read my purchases.

How dare that paleface orange man create prosperity for all, while Making America Great Again!
Yippee for molly Nutsack and the Twisted Ignoramuses at time for fortifying the Rigged election! Thanks for helping our leftist Nitwits destroy the country!
We can all sleep peacefully knowing the chuckleheaded morons at time Ragazine have are backs!

Stop the Fortify!

I bought a one year subscription. It does not work and I keep being asked to buy the magazines to read them. I hit restore ITunes purchases and it says “in app purchases have been successfully restored” However after checking back into TIMEMagazine it still asks me to buy the magazines. Please assist.

I’ve canceled my subscription. Time used to be my go to source for unbiased news coverage. Now, it’s complete garbage, a Trump enabling rag that further deepens the division in the United States. (The cover with Trump stretching his time in office into the future was the final straw)

In a quest for “click worthy” news headlines, you’ve lost sight of your objectivity.

I too am having problems downloading recent issues of Time. I am now 7 issues behind. It appears that this has been going on for months already. Seriously?!?

I subscribed to Time on one of my 2 iPads and have been trying, unsuccessfully, to get the second to recognize my subscription. I would love to be able to give this a good review but until I can access my subscription I am unable.

I’ve been a subscriber to Time for years and used my iPad to read while traveling. I can no longer download and read current issues. Every time I try to select a current issue I’m asked to purchase the issue. I’ve reloaded TIMEMagazine and logged back in and have the same problem. I’m rethinking whether or not to renew my Time subscription if this is the way long term customers are treated.

I am a digital and print subscriber. I am unable to download the recent issues and there is nobody I can talk to about it.
I contacted TIME customer support - had to wait on the line over 30minutes just to get an email address for the digital issues support.

Used to work great. Now after just renewed print and digital, no new issues are available after April 2019 without payment for each. Wasted much time and money, phone support was worthless and when contacted by email as instructed by phone customer service, never got response.

I have had TIMEMagazine for several years but in the past year I have had continuous problems with issues not showing up and TIMEMagazine saying I have to pay for them even though I have an active subscription. Trying to get help online is useless.

Time needs to check Economist app to see how to design easier interaction and reading interface on phone

For those of us moving from "paper" to the "digital" form of Time the experience has been transforming. Time is aiming right but there is room for improvement. I love multimedia integration and all the unexplored possibilities only possible in this media format. Time needs to continue thinking "outside of the box" and move this media to include more reader interaction including social media. On the other hand, Time needs to think about EXPANDING it's regular contents in specific areas such as Economics, Sociology, Law, Science, Technology, Internet and Health. I will suggest to develop these areas by giving the reader the opportunity "to custom expand the reading experience at will" with more in-depth information carefully crafted by experts taking the advantage of the "tablet form". This will allow, for example, that an intelligent corporate lawyer look deeper into an interesting topic about neurosurgery or vice versa, if he or she chooses to. The latter not only informing but providing the opportunity to educate and expand personal knowledge evolving Time into a new informative-learning experience-platform attuned to our times.
