Latest reviews of The MagPi Raspberry Pi app for iPhone and iPad

Good but too expensive for digital media.
These days information is everywhere on Internet and free, which make digital magazine a hard competition. I may be interest only if at this price we had access to all your mags ( Monthly, Archive & Special). Unfortunately, the actual price of the subscription is twice what I will normally pay, due to great web site offering similar information for free and there archives.
One star too many
To call this app buggy would be a complement. I paid for an issue of MagPi as an in app purchase and it will not download - Ive been trying for weeks. At best it just goes back to the library screen at worst it crashes my iPad. Someone owes me a refund. Heads up - This content is available online for free. I found this out after wasting my money on an issue that will not download. Apple needs to give us the ability to hand out negative star railings.
Subscription not working
Ordered subscription in ITunes Store, but Newstand app is not recognizing the paid-for subscription.
App has issues
(Original review follows; update after that with workarounds and notes) Not recommended at this time. Tried on IOS 9.02 and 9.1 with IPad Mini 4. Purchased two issues and neither will load. When try to repurchase app says they are already bought and will be reloaded. At that point app freezes. Reported problem twice to vendor with no response. Its a good magazine but the app and supporting vendor are not doing their jobs. Out $7.98 for two issues I cannot download -- money is not the issue but its a bad policy precedent on the vendors part. Reporting issue to Apple is my next move. (updated October 30 2015) After the above noted issues with support, I changed paths and reported the issue directly at the app vendor site. This resulted in a reasonably quick reply with an acceptable solution. While the freezing issue still exists, the simple workaround is to do an all purchase reload. The restore purchases button is "hidden" in the "Subscribe" dialog page -- click "Subscribe" and the button is there. Not exactly intuitive or obvious but at least it works. Note that restored issues show as "Free" after restoration. Ive upgraded my score to reflect these points but feel the app still needs work.
Works well. Cant read for free even when you can on their site
The fact that I cannot just download the issue for free like I can on their site is a bad move. I understand that they have to make money, and it is for a great cause but I do not want to buy a physical issue of a magazine. I will buy and donate when I can but forcing like this is not a great move. I was looking for a way to organize all the issues I download rather than just have a folder in my dropbox
