TIME Magazine App Reviews

Great app well developed. I am truly enjoying Time magazine digital format. Now I truly enjoy reading, listening to looking at my Times Magazine.

This "up"date is totally worthless. Since installing the PREVIOUS iOS update on my iPad, the thing has refused to be installed. Installing iOS 9.3 has had no effect either. I get the same refusal. Time refuses to help and pretends iTunes should do it, but they cant help with somrthing not purchased from iTunes in the first place.

The app is nothing but all of the magazines categorized per month. This makes it impossible to find a certain article. You have to download the entire magazine (300+ MB) before you can view any of the articles inside. Very frustrating.

I love Time Magazine and its content, but I cancelled the subscription because I cant read the app in landscape view. Whats the point of having a beautiful magazine that cant be read while my iPad is in its case/stand on the table?

I love the idea of having my magazines in one place that takes little space, but this app is so buggy and has been so buggy for so long, I almost feel like going without it.

I like the time magazine but can not create user name or password, every time I do the app crashes.

I agree with the other reviewers, mainly the point of downloading content; takes a very long time and storage space, it would be nice if I could open it up and pick content under TOC and not have to wait "forever and a day" to read it.

I am having a terrible time trying to create an account to access the app! Im a subscriber and paid up through March of 2018, yet this app is making it very difficult to create an account! Ive been trying for over an hour with no success. I am an electrical engineer with a concentration in IT, so its not due to a lack of technical know-how. This app is just NOT user-friendly. Why are you making it so difficult to read the magazine online? Its not like your guarding state secrets. Focus on the user and lighten up on complexity!

The App force the subscribers to renew before giving access to their digital content. The registration process for subscribers is super confusing, and the app purposely put the renew together with the registrations, making it impossible to register w/o renewing.

It is impossible to open the Time app. Each screen switch just brings me back to the same app download screen. It is so frustrating that I wish I had never agreed to get the magazine.

No search function no usability, worst app ive ever used

Logging in to your account , viewing privacy policy etc are all HTML crammed inside an app. So naturally the experience is awful. But once you get past that, reading the magazine downloading new content etc are nicely designed. I find the reading experience pleasurable. However some areas of improvement are : 1. Navigation bar 2. Capability for Background audio playback. 3. Small features like snapping page edges to screen view to give more fluid experience 4. Memory usage statistics

Ive been using both the iPhone & iPad apps for a long time. Recently the iPhone app has developed bugs. Right now for example I cant delete a issue -doesnt even have an item for it. Im not going threaten to cancel my subscription but I the developers would straighten this out - used to work just fine.

Otherwise its awesome!

Update 6 months January 2016: still sort of hard to navigate and crashes sometimes, BUT being one of those people with a morbid fear of having to wait somewhere a long time with nothing meaningful to read, this has been wonderful. There is nothing against so sure to get the doctor to see me at the appointed time, or to move me to the front of the line at the tax assessors office, than having identified an article I cant wait to read. June 2015 PLUS: I like being able to read Time on my phone. Ive read it cover-to-cover since I was about 10, so I love being able to carry it around with me for when all the doctor has is Austin Woman or some such rot. MINUS: about half the time the app doesnt recognize me as a subscriber and offers me the opportunity to purchase the latest issue. Yes, I can call customer service and wait in an interminable queue and they will eventually get me signed in, but I subscribed for convenience, not to spend the evening on the phone with their perfectly charming customer service agents.

This is a functional app with content from the magazine included plus extra online content. So far its worked well and I have no complaints.

Please add "delete" option. Right now, theres no way I can delete an issue. Otherwise a pretty awesome ios app.

Notice the weird nickname? This is because I wrote a detailed and + review of the Time app, but when I hit send was told my (then shorter) nickname was already taken, then it closed the box and all my review was lost. So now you are not going to get one.

It is so buggy that I dont know where to begin. My biggest problem is I cant to resume playing the story from I left last time. It has to start from the beginning every time!!! It drives me nuts! And I also dont understand why it cant be played at the background when I am using my google maps.

The iPhone app wont let me read the 4 most recent issues even though I am a subscriber. The iPad app still does not work in landscape mode. Go back to the drawing board on these apps, Time.
