Disappointed
I have had a subscription since 2013, no problems until the latest version. Now I can't enter the site to view my previously paid for editions. I had been saving editions so I could read them later but they are not available now. D C Thompson tried to help but eventually told me it was iTunes problem. Contacted Apple in New Zealand who expected to solve my problem very quickly, but it defeated two of their spokespersons. One promised to speak to D C Thompson or People's Friend and then ring me back . Have been waiting for 5 days now to no avail. Surely someone must know what the problem is. All I can say is " They are happy to accept payment but not to sort out problems"
Very disappointed by the attitude of whoever is meant to be responsible for what appears to be not an isolated instance of bad management.
Shame on you!
DON'T bother with this app
Loaded this app in June, managed to download a couple of Paid editions, have checked in regularly since but none of the latest issues available since early June and all the other back editions listed have been 'Temporarily Unavailable' for weeks.
Contacted the developers via the button here for App Support, and they flatly refused to take any responsibility saying 'Apple own the product! sort it with them!' and directed me to a general UK Apple site with no contact email on it.
I tried deleting and reinstalling, as suggested by Apple site. The result? Still no current issues, in 'In App Purchases' the buy more button doesn't work, and it disappeared the ones I've paid for.
Luckily I hadn't stopped my sub to the paper mag at my local newsagents, even if it means I'm forever six weeks behind.
This needs fixing please. Would be good if someone would actually take responsibility.
Meantime I'm deleting again.
Love the magazine, hate the speed
I love the magazine but the issues stopped arriving even though I have a subscription. The Friend people say no-one else has complained and it must be apple's fault. Got the feeling they weren't interested!
