Men’s Health Magazine

Trying to read the content and all I’m seeing is the ads. The PDF seems to be working fine. What happen to the video content and interacting of the app it just seems to be just boring. I have been a subscription member for years and years. Please send out a update to fix this issue.

I used to love this application when you could look at both the PDF version of an issue as well as a streamlined scroll version, where you could tap on an article and scroll to read through it. But about 6 months ago, there was an update to the application that did away with the streamlined view, and now there is no longer an option to toggle between the two. Now it’s difficult and very tedious to have to swipe to flip a page, zoom in and out to read the words, zoom out to view photos / diagrams, especially on the iPhone. My suggestion would be to give the reader and consumer the option to switch between the two views. I’m sure a PDF view would look great on an iPad, but for iPhones with much smaller screens by design, the scroll version is much more efficient.

I have not been able to read an issue of this magazine for three months. The app on my iPad and my iPhone freezes every time I try to download an issue. If I try to get to settings/help, the app freezes, if I do advance to help, once I start to type the app freezes. I’ve reached out to Men’s Health, Hearst Publications, MAZ and Apple. All point the finger to each other and none, I mean none of them have tried to fix the issue. Restoring issues does not work. Uninstalling, reinstalling the app does not work. Hearst says they no longer use the iTunes platform for their digital version of the magazine. I finally just cancelled my subscription. The worst feeling is being caught in the middle and no one accepting responsibility to fix the app.

I have been a subscriber for years and primarily read using the app. This has to be one of the worst “upgrades” I have seen in all my apps. The new layout looks like a magazine in a web browser. If I wanted to read articles on the web, I wouldn’t subscribe to a magazine. That new “modern” table of contents is useless. I just love endlessly scrolling through tiny squares hoping I’ll see a tiny glimpse of what I was looking for. The saving grace before was the ability to still see the PDF magazine, which stayed true to the print version, but, you guessed it, that’s gone too. This app is a complete abomination. I can’t believe is has 1.5 stars.

This version has a text view that is pretty much useless. It has a clipping feature that let's you do things like selecting a portion of the screen to share or save, but it only lets you clip what is on the screen. It won't let you scroll at all, so if what you want to clip is below what is currently on screen you're out of luck. You can save a page, but you have to log in through Facebook or email to do so. I exclusively use the PDF mode because the magazine looks the same as the printed version that way. The text mode throws the magazine's layout in the trash and presents it like a crappy unformatted webpage article. You can't use this app without internet in text mode either, because it downloads a page of content when you get to it, and dumps pages, so you can't go back to them. The old app looked like the magazine, had some fun interactive features, and was a million times better.
