iOS 6.1 Updating Crashing (Adobe Built) Newsstand Apps

Hello,


Wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this problem. I updated to iOS 6 last night and everything appeared to go smooth. Today, when I attempted to read Men's Health offline, I get the splash screen, and then the app crashes. I noticed the same with any Magazine app that was built on the Adobe platform. GQ, Wired, Men's Health, Fast Company Bon App......All get to the splash page, then it crashes back to the homescreen.


When I am connected to WIFI I am able to access the apps and all previously downloaded content with no issues. I exclusivly read most of my downloaded magazine content offline so this is quite the problem for me. I also tried numerous fixes with no luck - soft restarted iPad, Hard restarted iPad, tried leaving the issue/app open when going offline......all have still produced crashing the app when I am not on wifi.


I'd rather not, but is there anything else I should try before trying to reset the entire ipad for a clean set up? Anyone else experiencing this?

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 6.1, Crash, WIFI OFF, Adobe Platform,

Yes, I find it really disappointing. I understand the apps have to be tested by apple before they schedule them for download but Conde Nast/Vanity Fair need to give us the correct info. As I was going away, I had to buy VF which was quite expensive as some were air freight copies. (It's not published in Australia). I'm not happy about having to pay again for what I've already paid for but cannot use. I think the girl I spoke to have me info that she believed was true and correct but it would seem the tablet department didn't give her the whole story.


Frankly, I'm really sick of the lack of app support by both app developers as well as Apple itself. They're happy to take our money for the apps and in app purchases but after that they don't want to deal with us. Sorry but that's not how it works. In relation to Conde Nast/Vanity Fair, they're going to have to adapt to the new digital publishing platforms if they want to survive long term. They are also doing their content providers and advertisers a great disservice. I'm going to contact advertisers to let them know that the digital circulation figures CN are quoting are incorrect and that they ought to renegotiate their advertising rates based on the actual figures. I have no doubt that many readers read the magazine when they're on a plane or other transport without access to a web connection. I know I don't generally have time to read the magazine except when I'm on a plane or on holiday.

Thank you for chasing that up. I note that the app still isn't fixed, that's disappointing. However that lovely girl at CN UK I spoke to stuck by her word and sent me both March and April copies of the magazine. Of course I received them too late for my holiday but that's not her fault.


I don't know anything about building apps but I don't know why this is taking so long.

Ahhhh, the joy of being at the bottom of the world and forgotten about when apps are updated. Still waiting on the VF upgrade. I don't understand why we can't get the US app, there doesn't appear to be anything regional in the VF app, nor other US apps that would stop delivery to the New Zealand App Store. The same delay for updates happens with the NFL app. When the new season's version is released the 'old' one stops working, takes you to the US App Store but won't let you update.


I wonder how I could get a US App Store account ......
