While I adore Empire's dual subscription and this app continues to brings the content to the iPad the way it was originally meant, I did observe a few problems upgrading to the latest version (4.10) of the app:
- Sadly my bookmarks didn't get migrated. Wasn't it possible to keep those?
- The update didn't clear the Document & Data cache while the already downloaded issues from the previous app version become inaccessible and waste space. I had the remove and reinstall the app to clear it myself.
- Loss of function since you now need to download the full issue before you can start reading instead of the progressive web loading we had before. Also, 2x the issue size is needed as free space which can be 1.3 GB so you can never use you last 700 MB on the iPad.
- Finally, the lovely covers in the library appear a bit small to my taste a space is wasted on repeating label text like "Empire Magazine" and white padding space around it.
