Fortean Times Magazine Examine App

Love the magazine...been reading for decades, first in print then digitally. But the latest version of the app is very disappointing. All but the most recent dozen of several years of purchased issues are missing. I paid for them...now they have been taken away.

Love this magazine! I am not a fan of cluttering up my house with back issues of magazines, but love to look over them again and again. Imagine my surprise when they updated this app and most of my years of back issues had been deleted!!!!!!!!!! Why do I even bother? Seriously mad here. It is if someone came I to my home and robbed my library. These were MY magazines. I am so angry. Long time reader, contemplating whether or not to continue subscribing. Be forewarned- you are purchasing a read, not a magazine. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

but after this last rework, it's forgotten or lost many of my magazines, and it doesn't include the special issues at all. Zinio is a much better alternative!

A week ago I updated my app and lost access to six years' worth of back issue purchases. Wrote to "customer service" and still have no response.

I have enjoyed Fortean Times over the last decade or so and when it came out on my iPad I figured "great, no more spotty mail delivery". Unfortunately the app is less than ideal if you want to view your purchases in anything other than portrait view. I mean forget the unnecessary things like page flipping animation, in landscape view the spread is minimized to a corner and can only be enlarged to fit the screen if you manually stretch it with your fingers. Side note... that only works for the page you are on and you will have to do it for every consecutive page you turn to. I guess I can view it on portrait mode but the case I keep the iPad in makes this a clumsy venture.

Too hard to find without manually searching the App Store.

It states in the description that back issues and future issues are purchased through the app. That you can also subscribe to the newsstand/digital version of the magazine with the prices listed. Those that have written bad reviews, inferring they have in some way been conned because the magazine isn't free, are incorrect. The description, if people bother to take the time to read it properly and not just d/l because the app says it's free, will realise quickly this app isn't misleading or dishonest in the slightest. The app is free, the magazine, like most other magazines, is not. As a subscriber to the physical magazine I would be disappointed if people got this app with the ability to read the magazine for free. Would like it if there was a way to input my subscription account details into the app instead of having to cancel my current subscription and re-subscribe here. I like getting the physical magazine and currently I can log online and read when away from home and have forgotten my magazine, so thought I could just input my details on the app. Unless I have missed something!

Did I just buy a subscription that will enable me to BUY your magazines? This is ridiculous. A waste of money.

This is just an app that let's you BUY the content. They should be more clear in their description.

App crashes immediately after I launch it! All I get to see is a title screen, and that's it! Terrible app! Huge disappointment

"Free" means only the app to see what magazines you want to pay for. Disingenuous at best, dishonest at worst.

Long time reader and subscriber... Very happy to give up my American subscription (I'm not a fan of the US distributor) in favor of a Newsstand edition.
