Me as well guess they must know there is a problem here..
I would assume the developer has to update their magazine app to be compatible with Newsstand. (???)
That's what it seems to be. You can't move it in or out ; once enabled for newsstand it will appear there.
That's what's happened with NY Times app. It was updated into a Newsstand app. AFAIK there's no choice either way here. If it isn't a Newsstand app it cannot be put there, and if it is it cannot be put anywhere else! It's out of the user's hands.
I think the mentality here is that newspapers and magazines fall into a similar category as books.
No it's nothing to do with categories. It is to do with Apple contracts, and publishers signing an agreement to be part of Newstand. So you cannot move a mag into it, unless they are part of that agreement.
It worked for me! Thanks milliebert!
NEws stand then appears to be of little value and should be able to be deleted. I have 5 paid subscriptions including WSJ and uSA Today. None of them will move to newsstand. A waste of time
Wish there was a way to unattach from Newstand. Readers Digest automatically moved into newsstand and has not worked since. More money down the drain. Is there a fix?
If it is an official News app, delete it, and download it again from the App Store. Now, it should be placed in the Newsstand App.
Delete the apps. Download them again from the App Store. If they are official Newsstand Supported Apps, they will be moved. Quit saying it's stupid just because you're to stupid to figure out how to transfer items.
I hate newstand. I HATE NEWSTAND! I don't need apple to tell me where to put my media apps. I will be very reluctant to go to IOS 6 if Apple keeps dictating to me where to put my apps. I now have a folder with newspapers plus the annoyingl newstand with the NY Times which won't allow me to place it anywhere else but newstand. It also won't allow me to put my other newspapers in newstand unless I delete them then re-install and even then thgere's no guarantee they will into newstand unless there's a 'contract'.
I HATE NEWSTAND! ARE YOU LISTENING APPLE?
Yeah, they aren't listening. They don't even read the questions here. That's what we users do.
