This app proves that you never really own digital material. But the magazine and essential guides are great. The app is also a rip-off in that halfway through an article it fades out and you can't continue unless you buy a subscription, even though I had paid $6.99 for the article. A fool and his money may apply here.

Very slow to open, after a few secs I just close it as it's waste of time to wait. Secondly most of article are paywalled. You get notifications on your phone, but articles cannot be read anyway. In summary, app is useless if you're not subscribed.

Same issue as last time I subscribed ( and didn't renew as a result). Paid for a year's subscription, app blocks access and tells me the subscription doesn't exist. And yes, it is activated.
