Reading offline is at best unavailable or at worst not functioning

Used to be good

This used to be a good app, could scroll through like a normal magazine. Now it’s not good and usually doesn’t work offline. And I mainly read it when traveling so it’s not so good anymore.

Great magazine

I cannot access my current issues or all of the previously purchased issues. My current app does not work and the new apps are useless to me because I already have a paid up subscription. Who can I turn to please?

Disappointing

This app has some problems that make it too frustrating to bother subscribing: - It doesn’t support landscape - Because of this if I accidentally tip my iPad sideways when I put it back it has lost the scroll position in the article - If you leave and re-open an issues it forgets where you were - It doesn’t support the full size of my iPad - The app title is too long and so its gets cut off on the home screen as “BBCHistoryMa...” - There are in-issue links (good!) but if you click them there’s no back button so you have to search for which page you were on All of which shows that this app doesn’t get the time & development attention it deserves; there is some good content here but it’s let down by the app.

Crash Constantly

When I try to open one of my magazines the app crashes. I tried to contact support but that leads to a dead connection. I would thought the BBC would do better?

Great Reference

Good starting point when investigating history

History Revised Magazine

The much vaunted brand BBC History represents little more than the triumph of a grim political correctness and the death of history. If you prefer your history ‘reworked’ with modern cultural Marxist revisionist filtering, then look no further than this publication. When we forget from whence we came, we forget who we are.

Content good — poor app

The app has a number of very annoying behaviours, which together make it tedious to use. 1)For a start, half of the “Issues” page, which displays the editions of the magazine available to download and/or read, is taken up with very annoying scrolling banner adverts. The ads aren’t even targeted—they keep urging me to take out a subscription, even though I’ve already done so. 2) It insists in operating in Portrait mode, even when I’m using my iPad in landscape. 3) Not all of the content that is available in the print issue or via Zinio is available via this app. In particular, the crossword is missing. I enjoy the crossword. It doesn’t have to be on-screen interactive: with Zinio, or any other app that allows me to take a screenshot of a page, then print it out, I can do the crossword with pen and paper. But this app denies me that option. 4) I value my privacy. Even though, within the app, I turned off Tracking, I later discovered more tracking switches hiding in the app settings under the iPad’s main settings—and these were still turned on.

This app needs an urgent upgrade

I would give this five stars for content but the app itself is not designed for all Apple devices. On bigger iPhones the lack of resolution leaves half the screen blank and makes the pinch and zoom function useless. Overall it makes the fine content unreadable on my iPhone X. This app is in urgent need of an upgrade.
