GQ Magazine App

A number of the customer reviews at the App Store are asking the same question. From the App Store's page for this, hit the App Support button and send them the question because I think that's the only way to find out.

Yeah, I checked it out too and got the same thing. My guess is that it's like the Time magazine app. Each time you download the current issue it simply replaces the one that's there. It probably lets you redownload past issues but keeps only one at a time. Like Time, I find the whole thing ridiculously priced. Wouldn't a printed subscription be a lot less?

Well, I think what they're intending is that you buy the current edition (which includes the app, of course), read it and when you buy the next edition, it merely replaces the entire previous thing but then you're given the opportunity to download past editions (that you already bought) as well. But my guess is that you can only view one at a time.

I'm not buying any more magazine apps until Apple gets this mess ironed out. Most of the magazine apps like GQ and Men's Health don't offer subscriptions and they don't sync the magazines back to your computer. I downloaded an issue of Men's Health and in the process of learning how to use my new iPad, I accidentally deleted the app from my iPad and the issue went with it. I've tried contacting the company twice and no one ever replied.

In addition, I like to save my magazines. Some of them for years. The only good magazine app is Zinio which offers subscriptions and saves all of your issues.
