Newsweek for Negative User Reviews
✓ It’s a scam to steal your money 💰Don’t get this app or their services 🤬🤯😡someone sign up for a subscription in my name behind my back and now there’s no way to call them because there’s no toll free phone number for customer support service to call to get my money back so Aware that they are nothing but no good scammers 🤬😡😤.Version: 7.0.0
✓ Unbelievably badThis is the worst magazine app ever. As a Newsweek subscriber for twenty-five years, I have been disappointed at Newsweek's slide into a celebrity gossip rag over the last two years, but this digital implementation takes the descent lower still. It just doesn't work. Despite having downloaded the app, it's icon doesn't appear on the iPad (it's there if you type in a search for it). Once it does open, though, it doesn't offer any issues other than the free sample issues, and it won't even download those. When I go into my online account, it indicates that I have one, but then it asks me to subscribe. When I try to subscribe it says I already have an account. I have called the magazine's custom support, and have been assured at everything is hunky-dory, but still nothing works. The last Newsweek issue I received was the final print issue. It's hard to believe, given the fanfare surrounding Newsweek's shift to all-digital delivery, that they could have done such a poor job of implementing the change. Next step: getting my money back..Version: 3.0.34
✓ Low res photosThe iPad's screen is almost HD quality and you are embedding VGA images. When zoomed, the magazine looks awful!.Version: 0
✓ Page changing is terribleI am willing to pay a subscription but this app needs work. The page changing is terribly slow. Go back to Zinio to see how it is done. Needs to be able to select words and add comments or send to Facebook and article to discuss. More interaction, please. Need a yearly subscription. Good try but the app needs serious work..Version: 0
✓ Need more developmentSo basic and primitive compared to any Mag at AppStore. UnFortunateLy: No BookMark option (c.f. The Economist mag) No page to text (c.f. National Geography or Reader's digest) No iTOC - interactive Table Of Content (c.f. How it Works - MegaPixel) No Search (c.f. any regular PDF, or How it Works) No option to read it later or InstaPaper.Version: 2.0
✓ Newsweek new appI am anxious to try this app. Right now it appears that the magazine opens in portrait view. If that is the case I will be very disappointed, because I prefer landscape view. I am also curious to see if the problem with photosphere has been resolved..Version: 5.0
✓ App and service does not workThe connection between Newsweek and Apple is broken. The Newsweek app does not recognize my purchase yet they have a record of it when I call and talk to a rep. Newsweek points me to Apple who I called and they looked into it confirming they were sending the appropriate info to Newsweek regarding my subscription and even walked me through different scenarios to test the app. Apple's conclusion was that there was a problem with the new app sending me back to Newsweek for resolution. In addition, and like others that have posted, it erased all the past magazines I already downloaded when updating. This is ridiculous. I paid for a subscription, but can't use it. I have been a subscriber for years, this experience and lack of desire on Newsweek's part to resolve my issue leads to wanting a refund and choosing a competing publication..Version: 4.0.1
✓ No technical support offered, major issuesIf you do not fully load an issue, the app will not allow you to resume the download. Although there is a button for this, the app will ask you to restart the app or just crash itself for you, neither of which fixes the problem. So I have issues that I have paid for but cannot access. I e-mailed the customer service department to tell them of this bug and they sent me a form e-mail that did not correspond at all to the issue I raised. They did not respond to subsequent inquiries. For a now all-online publication to 1) have this big if a technical issue and 2) apparently not care to fix it or address technical problems is kind of ridiculous. Especially after migrating existing customers to a half-working platform..Version: 3.0.34
✓ Looks awful on retina screenThis app needs an update badly. It looks like a blurry mess on the new ipad.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Poor, poor application... Feel robbed.Either they allow me to download my previous purchases or they refund my money, disgraceful, it is supposed that revisions to applications are for the better not otherwise. Truly upset and disappointed..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Ok, but not greatMy print subsription to Newsweek was expiring and I just got my iPad. The in-app subscription was slightly cheaper than renewing the printed version, so I went for it. It's basically a PDF of the printed copy of the magazine that's still arriving in my mailbox. The nice part is having it with me wherever I have some time to read. Also, absence of ads is nice. But reading multi-column articles on an iPad is ridiculous! Why not make single column text that you can scroll down until you're done with the article, then swipe to move to the next one? The most frustrating, inexplicable thing is the "extra insight" at the bottom of some pages: "Visit the 9/11 Memoraial website for...." is crying out to be a tap away, but is not clickable. To Newsweek: Please make the digital version more iPad friendly and interactive..Version: 2.0
✓ Almost thereI've always loved Newsweek in the print edition but the new format caused me to not renew for the first time in 15yrs. Still have an affinity for the magazine and the writers and was excited when I saw this app a few days ago. I don't agree with people that Newsweek for the iPad is priced right. IPad is still in the early adopter phase which means all you people willing to pay $3 have money to burn. If Newsweek truly wants mass adoption of the Ipad, they need a price point of around $1-2 an issue with a subscription option that's comparable to print. Envisioning the day when neighborhood kids come to the door selling ipad magazine subscriptions :).Version: 0
✓ Magazines fail to show upI received several notification that new magazines are available. But when I go into the app it shows one from a month ago and everything I do to fix it doesn't help. I did purchase a yearly subscription..Version: 5.0
✓ New update has big problems.My Newsweek app was just updated and has major problems. On my full sized iPad it does work but downloads each page separately (instead of downloading the entire magazine at once like it used to). So you have to wait for one page to very slowly download and when you go to the next page you have to wait again for it to very slowly download. Very painful to try and read taking much longer than before to read the entire magazine. On my iPad mini, it doesn’t even get to the main library. It just gets a spinning wheel saving that Newsweek is updating. Net result is it only works at all on 1/2 of my devices and way too slow to tolerate. Unfortunately I just renewed through iTunes and unless this gets fixed I won’t renew. Best that can be done would be given a choice to revert back to the last version that actually worked..Version: 6.0
✓ Still not working rightDownloaded the newsstand edition thinking that finally this app might stop crashing and insisting that I re-register every time I want to read the #€£#+ magazine. Now the new version won't find my subscription and I am just as badly off..Version: 3.0
✓ LaggyLook, I like newsweek. they seem to be struggling to find their way in both the digital and printed world, but even as is, I enjoy the magazine. it's hard to tell too much from the free issue they've given us here. it looks crisp and beautiful. but I have two problems. first, you download the entire magazine to your iPad so you can read it even when you don't have a wifi connection. and yet, inexplicably, there is STILL a serious lag when you turn the pages. a full second or two where it says "loading." if the app downloaded each page as you turn it, then fine, but this seems to just be bad design. I downloaded the WIRED app, which is far more fully featured and rich with multimedia (and which works the same way--you download the entire issue), and the pages turn instantaneously. so the lag here is extremely annoying. secondly, there is no multimedia. nothing to distinguish it from a paper magazine. the industry is changing and sadly, again and again newsweek does not seem to be able to keep up..Version: 0
✓ No control of font sizeDoes not allow increasing font size..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Problem solvedLike some of the other reviewers, I was not able to login after the update. None of my email addresses worked for the password reset, and I couldn't get CS to return help requests. However, I started messing around and discovered if you click on the little gear icon in the top right corner and click on "Restore All Purchases," you will get back all the old magazines you paid for and the download button for the new issue will be enabled. Minus two stars for being a pain in the backside...on a positive note, the new format looks good..Version: 5.0
✓ Where's this week's issue??I've been subscribing to Newsweek for decades and have loved the magazine. I'm open-minded enough to appreciate their move to all digital. However, I felt like the biggest luddite on the planet when I can't seem to navigate the issue properly, nor understand how the archives work, get logged out somehow, etc etc. I came here to see if others are having problems and I'm relieved to see it's not my ineptness that is causing the problems, but rather Newsweek's! This is my first foray into digital magazines, burt let me just say it's not a good one. But all that aside, (I'm assuming they'll figure out they have to do a much better job with the whole online experience), where is this week's issue?? Here it is, Wednesday, and it's not out yet. I ALWAYS received my print issue in the mailbox on Tuesdays so how in the world is it that the online issue apparently isn't ready? Once again, I figured I'd somehow screwed up and wasn't doing something right since I couldn't find the latest issue last night when I looked for it, but alas, from what I can tell, there is no issue this week! I don't recall their EVER failing to get an issue out on time so this is really unacceptable. Figure it out, Newsweek. It pains me that you're trying to be trailblazers here in the digital age and are screwing this up instead..Version: 3.0.28
✓ BewareThis is Newsweek? They don't even reply to emails concerning this flakey app. I have paid for a subscription for a year and it just doesn't work, BW couldn't care less !.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Nice but not greatThe good: A nice interactive experience, includes some videos and audio, though not much. You tend to get richer media on a website. Navigation is easy to learn, seems similar to other magazines on iPad. Price is lower than print by quite a bit. The not so good: each issue is about 100MB. Considerings it's just text and pictures, I don't understand the size. Pics are not high Res. The bad: poor subscription management: I subscribed through the iPad, so clicking the subscriptions section doesn't recognize me. Apple knows I'm a subscriber but Newsweek doesn't. Also non-US print subscribers are Not recognized, so if you're staying abroad, you'll have to pay again. Not yet updated for the new iPad, so it looks very blurry, even the text! Which I really don't get, since they could have just used the iPad fonts. Whatever... Overall, it's not bad but definitely needs improvements to get there..Version: 3.0
✓ Good StartI am always stunned by comments about "this is not free...they expect you to pay". Well of course they do. If you work for FREE, send me an email...I'll hire you! You are getting the application free, as promised and paying $3.99 for an issue is very reasonable! Now, with that out of the way...the application is a great start! However, just a couple of comments: 1) It would appear you need to be online to read your purchase: bad! I bought it, I should be able to read it when and where I want. 2) Table of contents is not linked to the actual articles in the magazine: painful navigation 3) The use of page thumbnails across the bottom is well done...except that there are no page numbers: add this to item number two and the navigation is VERY painful. Performance (once a page is loaded) is great and quality of material is very hi. Fix the couple of issues above and you have a great news app! I'll buy more issues when you do. Ray.Version: 0
✓ Practically no navigationI had no illusion that I would access Newsweek content for free with this app - if you want that, try their website, folks. I did want the convenience of reading an issue now and then on my iPad paying less than the cost of the print version, and will probably still use it. That said, this is a pretty lame application - perhaps Newsweek should indeed charge for it and give the current issue "for free" if that would give more resources for developing a better app. There's no tappable TOC, just a static version of the printed version. If you want to read an article on page 77, you'll have to eyeball its location by tapping away at the page thumbnails at the bottom of the page. Even the Spectator, whose app is not much more sophisticated, has a better system. That said, for a good example of a to-iPad transition, check out Der Spiegel..Version: 0
✓ UselessAll you get is the cover of each issue - they should at least provide the table of content..Version: 0
✓ Bait and switchDon't waste your time downloading this one unless you are willing to pay $3.00/issue. It's not free as shown. They give you a free sample of a special issue on Obama and that's all..Version: 0
✓ Very disappointingDid everyone on the design, IT and editing teams get laid off or something? The Newsweek app used to be great, with interesting stories with an easy to use and interactive design. Then the last update came. The redesign is so terrible I can't help but wonder if the staff made a bet to see if they could create the worst app ever. Not only have I experienced the tech issues mentioned below with issues disappearing or failing to download, I was shocked by the degree to which the new layout and design makes the magazine almost unreadable. They eliminated the variety of different length stories, features, etc. and now only have several stories that are giant blocks of text. Not to mention that you lose your place every time you close the app. I have also notified an increasing amount of glaring typos in each issue that make me wonder if anyone is even proofing the magazine? I kept waiting for Newsweek to release an update to correct the horrible changes, but it never came. I have grown up reading Newsweek and will miss reading it each week, but I am left with no choice but to cancel my subscription. Shame on whoever is responsible for these changes for ruining a great publication!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Updated 2x per week usuallyWhy is the news usually 2-3 days old?.Version: 7.0.0
✓ Difficult to navigateThe user interface is terrible.Version: 7.0.0
✓ Stopped WorkingI have tried downloading magazines in my subscription but I get an error message each time. Not impressed..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Front SizeThe front size is too small. Hope we can adjust text size without zoom out or zoom in..Version: 5.0
✓ Awful update!BEFORE (back when it was print also and they had just added retina): The latest release is awesome. Full retina support. The text is crystal clear now and the images are now done full justice. They didn't go half-way with the retina support as some others have. It all still works very well too as it had before. NOW: Terrible update that broke a basic tenant and deleted any and all previous issues you had without any warning! WTH! This is also why I generally dislike all cloud/online downloaded media that is protected because it always tends to suddenly disappear on you at some point and there goes everything you ever paid for! Simply a horrific update and to not even warn anyone beforehand.... Who the heck decided to waste time and money writing a new app that is one of the worst ones ever written when the one they already had had been among the best ever written? How can a struggling magazine afford to pay to have an app that did not need to be rewritten to be rewritten? And how can they dare risk releasing something utterly bugged and messed up and poor when they can't afford to lose a single subscriber? It looked better when it was styled as it had been she it was still a print magazine too, much better then..Version: 4.0.1
✓ The only unbiased stories appear in the opinion stories.Biased news from cover to cover. Every story is tainted with the radical liberal narrative. What a shame that balanced and unbiased news is now a thin of the past..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Horrible tech supportDon't start a digital subscription w Newsweek! At least until they sort this out. After 1.5 yrs of digital subscription w minor issues, I encountered the problem tt most reviewers of this app encountered - the app won't recognize my subscription so I can't download new issues. What made matters worse was when I tried getting help from the Newsweek app support staff, they referred me to the iTunes support staff. Something about them (Newsweek) not having access to my iTunes account details and hence they cannot determine if I am a Newsweek subscriber. And iTunes staff reiterating that the issue is with the app developer, not them! I felt like a ping pong ball in a game. Back and forth we will email with me getting more exasperated and angry. In the end, iTunes/Apple support won my admiration for 1-being courteous the whole time, 2- emailing me to ask if there is still a problem and finally 3-partially refunding my subscription when they realize this situation is going nowhere. Newsweek support just stuck to their spiel (did the guy even read subsequent replies?) and eventually replying in CAPS the same spiel as if I could not READ and understand them. Hey, I can read just fine but you need help in communication and customer service. Mind you, the refund fr iTunes didn't cover all the issues I will never get to read. So folks, subscribing here is a money losing venture. Stick to the hard copies folks..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Unable to access subscriptionI just purchased the monthly subscription, but when I enter the app, it still asks me to purchase the single edition I want. When I try to "sign in," it gives an option for print subscription or an existing iPad subscription - - when I try to log in to the existing iPad subscription, it doesn't recognize my Apple iTunes email address. I've tried to create a new account, but that doesn't seem to work either. There are no other options other than to click "Done" to return to the same page where the whole cycle began. I hope that I'm able to get my money back because without being able to log in, I have no access to my account settings. What the heck, Newsweek?.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Crashes oftenI love reading Newsweek on my iPad, especially with all the extra pictures and videos you get on the digital version. However Newsweek tends to crash quite often and if I will no longer have access to a paper copy of the magazine the digital version is going to have to run flawlessly. I'm not sure if this is a Newsstand app problem or a problem with the Newsweek magazine but I find it tends to crash at times especially when switching from portrait to landscape and back. I have an iPad 3rd generation running 6.0.1 and it is quite irritating to have to reopen the app every time and have to navigate back to the article I was reading because it crashed. Please fix this issue.Version: 3.0.18
✓ Doesn't WorkThis app is an extreme disappointment. I have a valid subscriptions been unable to download the magazine for several weeks due to "authorization" errors despite the fact that it says my iTUnes subscritpions is active. This happens frequently. Avoid this app..Version: 4.0.1
✓ GarbageDoesn't do anything other than charge your credit card. No content is available..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Not there yet, but pretty good!Yes, you must pay for the content. I agree with that. I'm not working for free and I don't expect the others to do it. If you do, contact me, I have stuff to do in the house. The apps is good. But, I think it deserve a little more polishing. We are getting there!.Version: 0
✓ FONT SIZENice easy to use app. However, I cannot seem to find a way to change the size of the font. Please let me know how to do that. 5 stars if it can be done..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Don't fix it if it ain't broke!Newsweek needs to get its act together. I have been a subscriber for at least 15 years. On top of that I also give Newsweek subscriptions as Christmas gifts. Apparently they destroyed the check last December and never bothered telling me that they did that. It is rather embarrassing when people call me and tell me that their subscription is no longer active. Calling Newsweek was no help whatsoever. The people who received my gift now have to go and subscribe thru ITunes and I will send them a check to reimburse them. Absolutely ridiculous! Regarding the app itself, the old app worked very well now the updated app is not anywhere near as user-friendly. I put it on another machine and got charged for an issue. I have always loved to read Newsweek but it is becoming way too much work. What a shame..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Worst app everThe last update was horrible this one is even worse. Only reason I updated was because the last update was so sluggish downloading - every time you resumed download, it would erase everything that had already been downloaded. The new update doesn't even allow you to sign on initially and when it does allow you to sign on, it doesn't recognize that you are already a subscriber - it keeps asking you to buy the issue for $4.99. When you call tech support the digital's tech-support isn't even available until 9 AM. Doesn't Newsweek test their new apps or upgrades before they offer them to subscribers? Quality control is nonexistent for software here at Newsweek. I have been a Newsweek subscriber for over 30 years and aside from some false sense of loyalty I'm not sure why I haven't already canceled my subscription -this is strike two on the app upgrades..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Where’s the BalanceI thought Newsweek was a evenly balanced site but I’m finding it’s not. There are more left leaning pro-Biden articles than anything favoring Trump. How people could prefer Biden and his Socialist cronies and supporters makes me sick. This country isn’t perfect-no country is. But to destroy our time-honored traditions and institutions and thrust America into Socialism is absolute lunacy. That being said, I’m glad I’m not paying to read the articles on this site and will discontinue reading them as of now..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Worst experience everNewsweek needs to figure out the technology so it will actually download the issues or go back to the print model. I pay for this and waste more time trying to get issues to download than it takes to read it. Also, the content covers fashion and art more than international news (except the French). I have subscribed since journalism class in college required it...two decades ago...and am not going to last much longer. the point of getting news is that we can download it and read it. Also, if you include pictures, they need to be expandable to a size the viewer can see. one inch cubes of famous paintings don't do anyone any justice..Version: 4.0.1
✓ They don't get itI guess the print media really still does not understand the digital age and may be doomed to obsolescence. I like Newsweek, so I downloaded the app. I made the in-app purchase of a full year subscription and it made it disappear from the choices. But I did not get the subscription, my credit card does not show the purchase, the App Store does not show the purchase, the Newsstand does not show it, Newsweek tells me to contact iTunes to fix it, and I am pretty disgusted with the whole affair. I guess I am now stuck with a dysfunctional Newsweek app, and no help. Don't waste your time. Just buy the printed version until they are forced to shut down. Maybe they'll get it then and make things work right. Better yet, maybe they'll even learn to support their readers..Version: 3.0
✓ CrashingI can't even open the app, it just keeps crashing. So glad I didn't purchase a susbcription >:(.Version: 3.0.4
✓ Another misleading appSay what you will about what the definition of is is- it ain't free bucko and that is the misleading part. Delete..Version: 0
✓ App crashes constantlyGood content but app crashes constantly.Version: 7.0.0
✓ How did this get past testing?!I’ve downloaded this app three separate times, and have had middling to no success getting it to load the issues. Forget the fact that the magazines are presented in a bland way that looks like somebody pasted the text into a scroll view and stuck an image up top— I can’t even get the app to reliably download my issues. For instance, the last time I downloaded the app, I tapped restore purchases. However, nothing happened, the latest issue still read “buy” instead of “download”. Figuring why the heck not, I tapped subscribe. An alert popped up informing me that I was already subscribed. Still however the app wanted me to buy the latest issue. Ridiculous. So I decided to see if I could wait out this problem. However, exiting the app, I found that it still had a new issue badge. With no way to download the latest issue, I couldn’t dismiss this badge. And with it there Newsstand would constantly have a new issue badge of it’s own, regardless of whether I had a new issue I could actually read. Disgusted, I deleted the app for the third and final time..Version: 4.0.1
✓ PreviewI have no problem with the price, but at the magazine stand I at least have the ability to review the table of contents. I have a problem paying for something when I don't know whats inside.Version: 0
✓ New app frustratingWhy would the developers FORCE portrait mode?.Version: 8.0
✓ Horrible!!!!Do not subscribe to Newsweek! I paid for a full year of the print version, which is gone, and then followed the messy instructions to access the app version. I was able to download one (old) magazine, which crashed three times. When I try to read the latest edition it is prompting me to " buy" or " subscribe." Unlike other magazine apps, there is no contact or support to help. I subscribe to twelve other magazine apps and this is the only one that doesn't work. When you see the high quality of other apps that cost the same, or even less, it is inexcusable to put out such garbage. I agree with another reviewer who commented that the app version should have been perfected before the print version stopped. Does anyone know how to get a refund? I get Time for free at work so I guess I'll just read that instead. Too bad because I've subscribed to Newsweek for years..Version: 3.0.18
✓ Bad app, bad customer serviceStill a good read but overwhelmed by the app's shortcomings. 4 days gone by since new issue came out. Can't download. Signed out & tried to sign in & can't. Not the first time. E mailed customer service but they either will not respond or will take several days. Called customer service & they said tech support needed. They had several calls like mine but tech support enjoying the weekend off. Asked for refund of one issue & told tech support could only do that. Electronic delivery only & website not working? You would think a news organization might address it in a timely manner. If there is a breaking news story do your reporters take the weekend off? Too bad a once good product is been taken over by give a crap morons. No wonder 1.5 stares, it would be lower if reviewers could give zero..Version: 5.0
✓ Much better but still room for improvementThe fact that they added Newsweek Now for free and 12 week subscriptions for $9.99 alone make it worth your trouble to download the app. That being said there is absolutely no innovation on the Magazine side. Its basically a PDF scan of the magazine. There is only pinch to zoom and the graphics and pictures look terrible zoomed in. I hope they continue to improve the magazine and provide some more features. I got the 12 week and subscription for $9.99 which is a pretty good deal even though I think you can get the print edition for a whole year for something like $20. I don't plan on renewing unless they add some features in the next 12 weeks..Version: 0
✓ Newsweek for iPadFriday, July 5: After being on hold a very long time, and then after a long conversation, the 'technical' department rep changed my password and told me that would fix everything. The new password would be the same on my account and in the app on my iPad. So when I tried to log in on my ipad, I still got 'authentication failed'. So after trying several times, I gave up. Monday, Jul 8: I just called Newsweek back again. Another long hold, and now they tell me that I need to delete the old app and download a new one. !! I wonder why they didn't tell me that the first time I called. Very cumbersome from the very beginning, even worse now, including setting up an account, subscribing, and then signing in to download issues. Even customer support is a major hassle. Newsweek, you need to test your processes and updates on your own staff in the field before release to subscribers. I think you also owe subscribers something for all the hassle. We just want to read the magazine, not spend all our time trying to sign in, download, call customer support, wait on hold, etc. I wonder if cancelling and getting a refund is also a problem..Version: 3.0.73
✓ Disappointed and frustratedThis new app does not work for me. I have tried restarting my iPad, performing a forced restart and even deleting the app and downloading again. And yet I still cannot access any of the issues. Newsweek needs to fix this problem. Update: I have been using the Newsweek app update (6.0.1) for a few weeks. It still stinks. How can Newsweek say this is an update? It takes a long time for EACH page to load. In the past, an entire issue could be downloaded in the same amount of time it now takes to load one short article. I will not renew my subscription if this problem is not fixed. Another update: I downloaded the latest Newsweek app update (Version 7.0.0) and I must say that I believe you got it right this time. An entire issue can now be downloaded quickly. Thanks for correcting the previous horrible app..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Newsweek app.There is no doubt about the great articles in the magazine but the app is full of bugs and problems. I have had the subscription for a while and have had to restore my purchases every time I go back to the app . Since earlier to day the app will not even let me restore my purchases. Please fix the problem before trying to sell the app to people will be disappointed..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Problem in the new AppEver since I upgraded to the new App the Newsweek is shifted to the Newsstand and my subscriptions issues are no longer available to me. I have contacted the available venues but the issue cannot be corrected. Please go back to the earlier App as it was working perfectly..Version: 3.0
✓ Cannot read offlineThe app crashes when in airplane mode in iOS 6.1.Version: 3.0.28
✓ Hit the Road, NewsweekThe application requires the user to re-download issues every time the app is updated. Newsweek used to be a decent news magazine. However since bringing Niall Ferguson on board, readers have to put up with his pseudo-intellectual anti-President Obama blather. I don't understand Tina Brown's complicity in Ferguson's hateful attacks. Is Tina Brown insensitive to how egregiously offensive is the August 27, 2012 cover of Newsweek? When did it become acceptable to refer to the President of the United States by his first name? When did it become acceptable to be so informal with the President of the United States as to tell him to "Hit the Road"? Why is it that this President is not treated with the respect due him as our elected President? Why is it that the first Black President is not shown the same respect afforded all the White Presidents that preceded him? Newsweek owes our President an apology. I am disappointed and am canceling my subscription and deleting this app..Version: 3.0.14
✓ AccessAs a subscriber I should be able to access Newsweek on the Apple+ platform without having to pay again. Also I think some of the articles on Apple+ do not appear on the app..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Buy or Subscribe? Where's the Read button?I just received my print copy with instructions on registering for the digital version because the print version ceases publication on Jan 14th. Digital Registration went fine except for the minor difficulty of determining my account number from the mailing label. Installed iPad application without issues except for trying to figure out that I just needed to sign in rather than re-register within iPad app, sign in button doesn't stand out unless you know to look for it at top left of app. Now I'm wondering when my digital subscription becomes active so I can read the digital content which should have been communicated during digital registration..Version: 3.0.18
