The latest update has removed the most current 5 issues from my library, and no amount of restoring iTunes purchases or force synching will make them available without purchasing them again, and I am a subscriber. It would not be as painful to see this if the content was terrible, but the Absolute Sound is and always has been the best audio magazine available.
Great magazine - terrible app. Please get rid the the updating library thing. I sometimes want to read the magazine when I don’t have WiFi access and this “function” (or whatever you call it) doesn’t allow me to do so. Please get rid of it! PLEASE!
I have had an iTunes subscription for years, and suddenly I can’t restore my purchase.
I’ve been a long time subscriber. TheAbsoluteSound no longer works and I cannot get support from Apple or the developer, Nextscreen labs. I’ve lost all my previous issues that were paid for as well!! BEWARE OF TheAbsoluteSound!
The worst app, I don’t understand why need to spend money in a new refresh, brand image and navigation...always the same actions in marketing departments ..
The magazine is good but TheAbsoluteSound and support is useless. TheAbsoluteSound worked for zeros but died 6 months ago. Refuses to restore my subscription, refuses to download new or old magazines. Not much else to say. Avoid it.
As I predicted, when TAS switched to this platform it would eventually fail as it did with Stereophile. Now I have to unsubscribe again.
The new version of TheAbsoluteSound is less than useless. Can’t access any of my issues from several years of subscribing. All that money wasted. If I could I would give it negative 5 stars.
One star because zero is not an option. Long time subscriber and can’t read the mag. No issues in my library…. TAS knows it does not work but still drags their feet on getting it fixed.
This is, by far, the worst magazine reading app I have. It is slow, often refuses to load a new issue for days, flashes between pages, gets stuck on a page then repeatedly sends you to advertisers, on and on.
TAS should be ashamed of itself for using such an app.
I have been a subscriber for several years. My subscription auto renewed this week and I find that I no longer have access to TheAbsoluteSound . I now find I have to use zinio. Not one email about the change. The magazine I like, TheAbsoluteSound and support is awful.
The most recent update has serious issues .. I am a long time subscriber and the new update is very frustrating. Each page on load flashes with all the text highlighted. Please fix this as it really affects reading experience. Unlikely to continue subscription if this continues.
Recently subscribed. Worked fine for a little while. Now when I open TheAbsoluteSound it just hangs on "updating library". Have tried contacting customer service several times with no response. I want it fixed or my money back. Will be contacting credit card I paid with soon and file a case.
TheAbsoluteSound desperately needs an update, it’s been many months now that TheAbsoluteSound crashes when trying to open a new issue. The only thing that works is to delete and redownload the issue, sometimes more than once. C’mon guys, it’s been a year now since the last update. We’re on iOS 11 already, and TheAbsoluteSound didn’t even work on iOS 10.
Didn’t work at for a year…. Then worked fine for a few months, but logged in the other day and all but one issue had disappeared. Says I have a subscription, but does not allow me to access any issues and invites me to purchase a subscription.
Since the last update, I have lost decades of issues! Yes, decades that I had download it or no longer available to me. I have been a subscriber since issue one back in the 70s and every digital issue with the exception of the last couple of years is now gone. Harry Pearson would be spinning his grave if he knew how this is being managed now!!
The new update does not work! Please work on the update or either cancel my subscription.
TheAbsoluteSound is the best thing ever you can read all the articles really well and I love it. It’s so clear and perfectly formatted. All alignments are correct. All buttons work. All everything works. I can’t wait to get up in the morning and find the new magazine. I am in love 5/5 stars best app ever best developer ever. He is my dad
The Absolute Sound is second to none. TheAbsoluteSound works fantastically.
Every time I turn the page that blue background engages, enough already, come on developers, take it off, it doesn’t need to be there!!!
