Embarrassment for publishing industry

by JordanR62

Reminder of why the publishing industry is so slow and backwards in all things digital. Joke of an app.

Doesn't work

by FloridaBoi

I pay $19 a month for this subscription. But it suddenly won't let me download issues, present or past. Half the time it crashes. When I try to hit the contact button nothing happened. So I can't get the magazine and I can't make contact with anyone who might be able to help me. Useless.

Slapped-together feel

by AB In KC

Call me crazy, but when I double-tap a full page spread I expect to zoom in on a single column. When I try to zoom with a pinch gesture, I expect the text not to snap back to full page. When I select a headline from Feeds, I do not expect to see the headline on a new screen in a larger font. I expect to see the story.
