5/5App freezes.
Great magazine when I can get it but the app crashes or freezes, doesn’t recognize me as a subscriber, again and again. Requires a lot of communication over time to try to rectify and restore access. Very frustrating.

Would you imagine that the Landed Gentry English Bible would be so tech-brilliant? Easy to navigate, elegant, smart and savvy. Love it.

Suddenly, I can't access my subscription, and the app won't let me restore my purchases. Buyer beware. Update: started working for a while but same problem now in January 2014. So frustrating. Update: happening again April 2016
