Stole my money

I subscribed through the app,and it doesnt work. $37.99 gone. It says Im not subscribed. I cant even find a way to get a refund from the publisher.

Doesnt work

The app crashes at random and thats when it actually opens, which is probably about 1 in 30. Now Ive been going through the nightmare of trying to get a refund but they dont seem to have records of it since I purchased through their app. Dont recommend.

Security-challenged

What app echos your failed password attempt? What app then sends you an email with your password? The answer is none, if youre new to this. Amended correctly, the answer is this one does. Miserable user-level security. Third party wrote this "magazine" translation layer to view the latest issues; that in itself is ok although there is an antiquated 90s feel to it while magazines were trying to discover how to be relevant to online users. Unnecessary today, yet useable EXCEPT for the horrible security practices utilized. Time to step to the 10s developers (...and S&T!!)

Fails every time!

Very disappointing! Program crashes every time I delete an older issue or load multiple issues. Today I had to delete and reinstall the program when it wouldn’t let me delete 2013 issues to free up a little space on my iPad. When I tried to reload current issues, it crashed again with the 4th issue I tried to load. I’ve had the same problem since I first subscribed in 2012, despite claims that the problem has been fixed. With so many excellent magazine apps out there (e.g. National Geographic, The New Yorker) I don’t understand why they can’t fix this.
