ZINIO - Magazine Newsstand

Looking forward to read a magazine on board an aircraft without Wifi connection I was bluntly told that I needed to download the newest version if I wanted to read anything. This is just plain stupid!

It seems impossible to cancel my subscriptions. If i follow directions i get redirected to Itunes account. Which i do not use

You can no longer share your magazines with family members as zinio decided to sync with their server. So if the wife archives an issue its archived on my device as well.
What do they expect? That you create 2 accounts and subscribe multiple times to the same magazine in a family?

Love the massive number of magazines you can choose from. And also love how some of them are priced.
App works very well and flawless.

I was trying to purchase a few magazines but was getting a mistake message that there was a problem. After trying to do it for several times, I gave up and purchased them elsewhere. However, I got a bill from Itunes that I was charged for all those repeating trials to purchase.

Niet tevreden over app.
Weinig gebruiksgemak, leert ook niets van de wensen van de lezer.

I am using Zinio for a long time already. It is a great travel companion. However, with the latest update I lost all my downloads and bookmarks. I am on a low speed internet connection so re-download is very time consuming. Moreover, in the new app I seem not to be able to manage my subscriptions and browsing new potential magazines seems to be limited. The look and feel of the new app is good, but it needs quite a lot of fine-tuning, and really, loosing all your downloads is a no-go!

I wrote “I have no problem with the recent rebuild of the app, except that it has dumped all of my bookmarks. This is crass and unacceptable. A dumb design change.”
The developer responded not with an “Oops, mea culpa” but with the statement “Hence it will be necessary to re-bookmark interesting articles this one time only.” How, pray, am I to reapply my old bookmarks when the new app has destroyed them? The very purpose of a bookmark is to store information so that there is no need to commit it to memory.
Not only have I reduced my review rating from 2* to 1* but I am going to allow my sole magazine subscription to expire, and delete the Zinio app when it does.

No syncing of earlier purchased issues, waiting, praying or signing out/in doesn't work. Cryptical caution on Zinio.com mentions that "Archived issues on Zinio.com will not sync to mobile". Support on Zinio.com confirms unavailability of earlier bought issues, on a new iPhone. iPad sync OK. Weird, luckily I bought fee mags using Zinio, I'm using PocketMags since.
That was that then.

Altijd mijn inspirerende tijdschriften bij me, waar ik ook ben! Marie Claire idée, knitting, dus Franse tijdschriften, Engelse, van alles! Tip en top!

Great to be able to read almost everything but the user interface is probably the worst in the world.
Going from landscape to portrait and you are several pages off, zoom in or out 1 mm too far and it flips 10 pages away from were you were...
awful for "the biggest newsstand"...

I can use this app to purchase all my favorite magazines without traveling to that country!

Have been using Zinio for almost 5 years and subscribe on and off to some 6 to 9 mags. I travel a lot and am often away from home for weeks. Now I can have my latest magazines with me all the time. You can now purchase single items as well which is handy to see before you commit to a full year subscription.
A disadvantage is that the magazines are stored within the app; if something goes wrong you have to download them all again.

Does the job, would expect that there would be a search through the magazines, big miss.

Ik wijzig wachtwoord, maar die wordt blijkbaar niet opgeslagen ofzo want ik kom er niet meer in.

I'm certainly a Zinio fan: because of Zinio I can read lots of favourite magazines for reduced prices..
