The games are super fun

I never cared for jigsaw puzzles but I can’t stop playing Pieces. I love the way the pieces snap together. It’s very satisfying and it’s a great way distract yourself while keeping your brain engaged for a few minutes.I wish there was a “hard mode” where you had to rotate the pieces 90 degrees at a time, kind of like how you rotate pictures on your phone.

Waited 3 weeks to get new app…not seeing previous magazines

Approximately three weeks ago, my People app quit working properly after contacting Meredith, they gave me a workaround so I could see the magazines which was great. Today the new app was available and all I get is a summary page, no magazines listed, no previous magazine is listed. As a People subscriber for many decades, but a digital subscriber for several years also, this is a very disappointing app. Please tell me that you are still working on Combining the old app with the new app. My digital subscription was just renewed through September, but if I have to use an app or website and everything to get the information I was able to get on the previous app. It will be my last subscription. Please fix this. This is ridiculous.

I’ve read People Magazine since I was a kid (I’m 43 now). It’s always been a reliable source and a magazine I enjoy reading. I am super disappointed they decided to add “comments” to most articles. What is this… social media? I enjoy scrolling to the bottom of an article to see related articles and most times I’m forced to read comments. Why? Most of the comments are people who have absolutely nothing better to do in life, arguing and saying rude, irrelevant and entitled things. I personally don’t use social media for that exact reason, and I’m proud of that. But then I’m forced to read this toxic culture I try to avoid on my favorite magazine. I hate it. Please get rid of comments! And stop using AI for articles or learn to proofread!

Complicated to Access
Jan 16

pamas.
I love reading the “most discussed” articles (not commenting on them—it’s too easy to get sucked into side drama that has little to do with the article itself), yet every time I tap the headline I’m taken back to the App Store page and need to reopen the app to get to my desired article. It’s more complicated than accessing nearly any other app’s content! Once I get to the article itself, it’s worth the effort, and I have no further issues, but as a subscriber I shouldn’t need to go through the same song and dance every time I want to read something!
