Newsstand never downloads content automatically

Same problem here, even with Automatic Updates enabled... National Geographic was doing it for a while, but last issue I didn't receive a notification. I think it's an issue on the software/server end, not a device issue.

Just have to check: Have you gone into Settings > Store and turned on automatic downloading of content?

Same here, have had the issue since Newsstand was added withy the NY Times and have triple checked the notifications, store, and app's auto-download settings. I've never opened this app on the subway (sans connection) with that morning's new content. It's usually weeks old, despite a NEW banner on the icon.

Here we are in mid-March with Apple announcing the NEW iPad already, and we still have no fix for Newstand. I have performed the same old reboot and restore catch-alls that have been suggested (already quite familiar to us former Windows users) and still have yet to experience a single auto download of the NYTimes, New Yorker or any less popular subscriptions. Do you suppose Apple bothers to monitor this stuff, or is it too busy churning new products that don't work as advertised? iCloud is way worse than Newstand, and it hasn't been fixed either. Not only does it not sync correctly, but it still insists my email address on my iPad is one it gave me back in MobileMe days that I never used--ever, honest.

Same here — anyone ever get a fix? Was hoping it'd be corrected in iOS 6, but no go!

Newsstand doesn't auto download for me either, even with auto download enabled in settings. Hasn't worked for some time.

iPad mini running 6.0.1

I'm using a retina iPad with three magazine subscriptions, all with automatic downloads enabled, but none of them download automatically. In fact, I need to have the magazine app open for it to download. If I let it run in the background, it stops downloading. It's very annoying.

I have this same issue . I'm running iOS 6.1.3 and each day I have to download the NYTimes and WSJ. I also have to do the same with my weekly/monthly magazines (NY Tiimes, WSJ, NY Magazine, New Yorker, Men's Fitness, Wired, Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest, This Old House, etc). I've checked the newsstand settings - they ARE set to automatically download the magazines.

I'm not sure when the issue started - ie if it coincided with my update to iOS 6.1.3.

Does anyone else out there have a similar issue under 6.1.3? I've searched around the forum and can only find people who's issues were resolved (6.0.x and 5.x versions).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same issue. Have u found a fix ?

It seemed to start working properly suddenly. I know I didn't adjust anything, maybe an update helped.
