Newsstand Won't Display Subscriptions without Wifi on iPad Mini?

I have a 16GB iPad mini with wifi and I have two subscriptions on Newsstand. I've already downloaded the latest issues when I was connected to my wifi at home. I had hoped to be able to view my subscriptions while commuting to work, but every time I try to open a magazine, it tries to open and then just shuts down. I don't seem to have this problem when I am at home or work and connected to wifi. So I guess my question is, do I have to be connected to a wifi signal in order to read magazines that I've already downloaded? This has never been the case with my 3rd generation iPad, so I find it hard to believe that this would change with the mini. I'm almost certain that I was able to do this up until this week when I updated to iOS 6.1.


Does anyone have any insight into this?

EXACT same problem while at work (iPad 2 wifi only, though). I have always been able to download an issue of a magazine at home, then read it at work, until two days ago when I updated to iOS 6.1. Now when I open a magazine at work Newsstand closes up immediately. Clearly a fix is needed in iOS 6.1 & I'm guessing its on the way. We can't be the only ones!Not the end of the world but very frustrating.......

I have SAME problem with my ipad mini

I updated some magazines but they STILL DID NOT OPEN without wifi!

I bought a mini so i can read my magazines, WHAT NOW?

I think pieY is right, the magazine company HAS TO upgrade their versions too.

I hope Apple is working on this.

Im honestly ****** off coz we dont have wifi at my office. Cant read at home coz my son uses my Mini wen i get home.

Heeeeeeeeelllllppppp

Same problem here with magazine subscriptions to New Yorker and Vanity Fair on iPad Mini and iPad 3 after iOS 6.1 upgrade- however no problems with newspaper subscriptions also on newsstand. Tried power off/on and settings/reset. Cannot access Apple Care phone support because I am traveling overseas. Any idea what Apple phone tech support is saying about this problem. Thanks.
