Terrible

If I could rate zero stars I would. The app feels like it was written by a kid whose been programming for two months. Magazines aren't optimized and the app is clunky. Worst of all, the magazines don't even download. At all. I paid for a subscription but I might as well have paid for air. Absolutely unacceptable.

Great but one little thing....

I love this app and I love supporting companies that support music so 5 stars as far as that goes, but one thing that I find irritating is that I have to click "source" at the bottom of an article to be directed to the page that the video is on. While this isn't a "problem" I would get so much more out of the app and I highly think you should consider embedding the videos in the articles for the app if that's possible. Thank you!

What the location?

I don't know why it's located in my newsstand app but I liked it better when it was a stand alone app.

Crashes on 6+

App does not work properly, i have deleted and reinstalled, and still nothing, just a blank page.

Never worked

I have a iPhone 6+ and I was never able to open this 'magazine' properly. It would open to a black page - or perhaps to the top or bottom of a page. When I tried to move from one page to the next, the pages would flutter & go black. The most obvious clue as to the complete dysfunction of this app is that it crashed my iPhone EVERY time I opened the app. I have asked for a full refund from Apple with no response from them. I tried to cancel my subscription, but all I could do was to stop it from charging me again next year. I have erased this 'magazine' from my iPhone because I was afraid of the damage it might be doing as it continually crashed my phone upon opening it. I would like to think that the developer will see this & arrange my refund. I will be as persistent as their app was dysfunctional - & that's saying a lot - I won't stop until I get my money back!

Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
