Please Show TOC
The magazine is great and the app is really good, too. But, could you please allow us to look at each back issue’s table of contents before purchase so we can tell exactly what we’re buying? It’s very hard to tell from just looking at a thumbnail image of a magazine’s front cover, even on an iPad.
S1616,
Inferior to previous version
The newly updated version of this app is distinctly inferior to the previous version. You can’t set bookmarks any more, so unless you read the entire magazine in one sitting, you have to remember where you were. Also, in articles where you should be able to see multiple pictures by touching the picture or swiping left or right, you can only see the initial picture. There’s no way to see the others.
WindwardJoy,
Difficult to activate, but worth it in the end
Activating the digital edition may be a smooth process for those who have a more or less straight forward subscription to the print version of Smithsonian. But a subscription to the magazine is one of the benefits that come from being a "friend" of the Smithsonian. A "friend" is someone who has chosen to donate a minimum of $75 to the institution. This gets them a subscription along with several other benefits. If you are a "friend" activating a digital subscription will not be easy. It took several phone calls and emails in order to finally download an issue.
Having said that, I must commend the customer service people for their persistence in working through my problem. Having finally downloaded an issue it is, of course, excellent. The excellence of the magazine is well known to subscribers. The digital issue is high quality, easy to navigate, downloads in a reasonable amount of time and seems to faster than magazine that I have subscribed to through Zinio.
I do wish that Smithsonian would smooth out the activation process for "friends." But other than that I think this is an great app.

Dharmajjwa,
Disappointed with this app
Requires a separate purchase to access digital version of magazine, even if you are a print subscriber. App is clunky, doesn’t remember your progress and starts over at the beginning of an article every time you reopen the app. Two stars because the content is top-notch, but an otherwise disappointing experience using this app.
Arfie63,
Loses your last viewed page
Great content. Lousy app. Can’t keep track of what is your last viewed page in an issue. Very frustrating having to remember where you were.
Somebodyelse2011,
WARNING! DELETE THIS APP OR IT MIGHT BRICK YOUR IPAD!
Saw that Smithsonian now says you can read the print magazine on your iPad, if you subscribe, which I do.
Great, I thought, update and try it.
Not only did this not work, it nearly bricked my iPad. Finally got it working again after some effort.
THIS IS A DANGEROUS APP AND SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY DELETED BY EVERYONE!
I cannot understand why the overwhelming majority of magazines have useful apps where I can read my print subscription and Smithsonian has been a major fail in this area literally for years.
I doubt the app developers ever read these, but if you do: Shame on you. FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!M

Natural history buff,
Old Magazine issues gone
Ever since the app was updated, the magazines I’ve been saving from January 2012 to today have all been erased. The pages are gone and if this doesn’t get fixed, I’ll look for something else that will.
Master Arms & Tactical, LLC,
Do yourself a favor and don't bother with this one.
No one seems to know how this app works. Neither Smithsonian or iTunes have any idea how to support this as an iTunes subscription.
I was very patient and called Smithsonian first (from the number listed in the apop FAQ). They were a little rude and very quick to point out that they "had no record of my purchase." What they meant was that iTunes doesn't share purchase verifications with them, so they couldn't do much, but they gave me some general help with the app. No avail.
Next I called iTunes support. After bouncing from one person to another, I was helped by a very polite young man who kindly informed me that he had no idea how to fix it. He escalated and second level told him to tell me to contact the app developer and also (since they probably knew that was going to get us nowhere fast) to offer me a refund. Bummer.
So now I guess I have to subscribe to the print edition to get the digital. At least, I hope that works, but I'll have the print ed as a backup. Somewhere there is a project manager who needs to get his act together. Seriously.

Grandma Panda,
This app is evil and a time vortex!
If you are thinking that you are going to be green purchasing the digital subscription, think again! The amount of time and energy I have put in talking to customer service of both iTunes and the Smithsonian developer could worth a year of carbon foot print of the subscription. They tossed me like soccer ball for the problem that is clearly on both side. I would like to remind you both Apple and Smithsonian Developer that I am an subscriber to the Smithsonian magazine as a Apple User. You guys need to work together to solve this issue together instead telling me the issue is not on your end. It is on both ends! If one side is more willing to resolve the issue by contacting the other side, this issue would be resolved within 30 min. Apple seems to have the issue thinking if they are the most elite tech company they give the world's least elite customer service to its customers. Let me clarify that statement by no mean the customer service personnel is rude or unhelpful! I am more than grateful for their help. It's the management how customer service is delivered. If I spend $500 for a screen that types, I should NOT have to spend all morning on the phone trying to tell them my magazine subscription that I bought with my money did not work please do something.
Never_Jenny,
Complete failure
Update 2: I'm putting this back down to one star. Clearly they have no plans to fix this useless app. It's still clunky, full of useless pages, will sign me out in the middle of an excruciatingly long download making me sign back in and start the download from the beginning, and unless my iPad is plugged in it will DRAIN while the issues are downloading, as the app MUST be open. Worst magazine app ever.
Update: I can finally download issues, but I have to keep the app open the entire time, and it takes up to 45 minutes even though the file size isn't that big. When you click Download, you still get taken to a page for ads for some reason, and then have to click Download All. It's by far the clunkiest magazine app I've used.
Original review: All of a sudden I cannot download issues. The blue progress bar will get about halfway, then pause, and when I click to download again it goes back to the beginning, it doesn't pick up the download from where it left off. So, I can't get any issues. I've tried logging out and back in, deleted and reinstalled the app. Nothing has worked, and there's no option within the app to send comments to the developers. It's a great magazine, but this app is useless.
