The magazine is great and the app is really good, too. But, could you please allow us to look at each back issue’s table of contents before purchase so we can tell exactly what we’re buying? It’s very hard to tell from just looking at a thumbnail image of a magazine’s front cover, even on an iPad.

Inferior to previous version

The newly updated version of this app is distinctly inferior to the previous version. You can’t set bookmarks any more, so unless you read the entire magazine in one sitting, you have to remember where you were. Also, in articles where you should be able to see multiple pictures by touching the picture or swiping left or right, you can only see the initial picture. There’s no way to see the others.

Disappointed with this app

Requires a separate purchase to access digital version of magazine, even if you are a print subscriber. App is clunky, doesn’t remember your progress and starts over at the beginning of an article every time you reopen the app. Two stars because the content is top-notch, but an otherwise disappointing experience using this app.
