Disappointing and useless

I decided to download and give it a try despite all the negative reviews. And I just wasted my time. The app is terrible. It doesn’t even offer a mechanism to connect to an existing DB account: you can only buy a new subscription. Calling this a dumb app is offensive to the vast family of dumb apps out there.

Please update!

Download the app thinking it would be as good as the Guitar World app. I subscribed, newest issue loaded, but I can’t use the app to purchase back issues. I can only get previews. Tried emailing support but they haven’t helped. Hoping this review will help them solve the issue.

Disappointed

They keep trying to get me the past issues— going back to March, 2021, but nothing works. I’m giving up & canceling the magazine. As far as I can tell they owe me a refund, but I doubt I’Ll ever get it.
