If you plan to read MagPi on an iPhone DO NOT buy the subscription The digital subscription is really only usable on a big screen Even then I does not take advantage of the screen orientation I sent the developer a question asking if this was usable on iPhone specifically if the content formatted for the screen I never received a reply I purchased a single issue to test It is just a digital representation of the magazine I want to support the Raspberry Pi foundation but the digital subscription is not a usable option     Don t buy if using iPhone Humptybump

Sent emails to support at both Magpi and apple Never heard back I ll be doing a chargeback Can t believe they won t even respond Really was hoping to have this help me get started on my new Pi3     Paid in app purchase never got sub Twice Struck

Rotation of start screen not working New feature requests iPad splitscreen support iPad pro resolution Thanks                     Great magazine found a bug and needs 2 features pzeos

Really like the magazine however I bought the subscription using my iPhone but can seem to remember my login and can t move this over to my iPad without it I ve not found a way to recover a password or login No response when I email support on their website Really poor interface for such an interesting magazine Basically wasted 35 at this point     Beware Ssiped_off

Not all of the magazines are free and I don t know why because u can get the pdf of every magazine and then save it to iBooks on THEMAGPI website But otherwise great app                 Great app but xX J Man Z Xx

The fact that I cannot just download the issue for free like I can on their site is a bad move I understand that they have to make money and it is for a great cause but I do not want to buy a physical issue of a magazine I will buy and donate when I can but forcing like this is not a great move I was looking for a way to organize all the issues I download rather than just have a folder in my dropbox         Works well Can t read for free even when you can on their site orange hat

Original review follows update after that with workarounds and notes Not recommended at this time Tried on IOS 9 02 and 9 1 with IPad Mini 4 Purchased two issues and neither will load When try to repurchase app says they are already bought and will be reloaded At that point app freezes Reported problem twice to vendor with no response It s a good magazine but the app and supporting vendor are not doing their jobs Out 7 98 for two issues I cannot download money is not the issue but it s a bad policy precedent on the vendor s part Reporting issue to Apple is my next move updated October 30 2015 After the above noted issues with support I changed paths and reported the issue directly at the app vendor site This resulted in a reasonably quick reply with an acceptable solution While the freezing issue still exists the simple workaround is to do an all purchase reload The restore purchases button is hidden in the Subscribe dialog page click Subscribe and the button is there Not exactly intuitive or obvious but at least it works Note that restored issues show as Free after restoration I ve upgraded my score to reflect these points but feel the app still needs work             App has issues dwk-987

Ordered subscription in ITunes Store but Newstand app is not recognizing the paid for subscription     Subscription not working RpiNewbie
