Rolling Stone Magazine App Reviews

Rather broken. Cant even exit out of the app? Wtf

I had no issue with the app on iPad Air with iOS 7, but since I upgraded to iOS 8 I no longer have access to my magazines. I cannot download/open them. Please fix it.

This was a 5 star app and magazine. If it stays in the current small format I am going to cancel.

I need a magnifying glass to read it!

Dont waste your money. Last two issues font is to small to read.

Not impressed...cant access two years of past purchases. Please fix

This was a perfect app until the format changed with the December 31 issue. Now the print is too small to read without using the iPad zoom feature, which doesnt make for an ideal experience. Go back to the old format RS! If it aint broke, dont fix it.

I cant access my subscription with the latest update. The reduction in font size from the previous update was too great and unnecessary.

Where have my purchased issues gone? Please fix this issue asap. I had hoped to renew for another year but not if my issues go missing.

Now they fixed the size problem but all past issues are taken away! Plus when you re-open the app, it does not take you to where you were but starts with the cover shot again. I even had to re download the issue again. Signed up for one month only. Then I will delete the app altogether.

Rolling Stone had a great app with an interactive iPad edition for a long time. Every story was formatted perfectly for the iPad screen with no zoom required. I really enjoyed reading it over the past couple years. With this latest edition, all you get is an exact copy of the print issue on a much smaller screen. This means you have to zoom in to read anything, which makes for a tiring (and annoying) reading experience. Whats worse is that after re-downloading my previous favourite issues, Ive discovered theyve been replaced by versions in the new format.

First off, the last two issues were unreadable as they were formatted like the print edition instead of the old digital edition. The microscopic text couldnt even be enlarged. Though the text can now be enlarged in the latest fix, its still formatted like the print edition instead of for an iPad, and you can no longer listen to music samples in the reviews and recommendations sections like you used to. The digital-formatted version of the past was so vastly superior I dont understand the change. Complete bunk. Ive subscribed for years but will not renew.

I hate rolling stone digital. Latest iOS update and everything goes to hell. I cant sign in because i bought my subscription through itunes. I have no idea whats goin on. Hate.

Cancelled my subscription. The only reason I subscribed to the IOS version is that it was an interactive version. If I wanted to read a PDF version thats too small to read on an iPad screen, I could just torrent it. If you come back, Ill come back. In the mean time, Ill read you on your website.

We use this app on our iPad, used to be really good but recently lost all of the interactive mobile-friendly features. Font size is unbearable! Seriously? Why go backwards? Was this a cost saving measure? Well its a horrible mobile reading experience now. Likely wont renew.

Had recently purchased the Rolling Stone App after years of knowing about the mag but not purchasing. Really enjoyed the articles but was disappointed with the App on my older iPad - couldnt change to landscape or size the screen. New App has all of the improvements I was thinking of - bravo - much better - thx.

I still lost last year purchases (2014). I like the magazine but I will not renew. $5 price increase, lost issues buggy app. Too much of a hassle restoring every time you update the app. Time to roll on...

I need a magnifying glass to read it now.

I subscribed to rolling stone a while ago..every time I try to read it they want more $.....booooo!!!

The new reading format makes me feel that RS has either gotten very lazy or just stopped caring about the reader experience. Its now just a non-interactive PDF with ridiculously small font size. The old version had a beautiful format and the interactive features, such as being able to listen to song clips, were great. Come on RS. Why did you try fix something that wasnt broken! I will be cancelling my digital subscription because the app has become such a mess.
