Content fine...app leaves something to be desired

While I enjoy the content of the magazine and think the interface works fairly well, the app is buggy. In the year Ive been using the app, Ive had to reinstall it at least 6 times due to an ongoing problem, in which the app gets stuck in a loop when you are attempting to download an issue. While already downloaded content is still accessible, this loop prevents any new content from downloading. As far as I can tell, once this loop is entered, the only way to end it is to delete the app....which removes the content...and necessitates downloading everything again. This is very annoying.

So, content is five stars (I like most of the writing), user interface for the magazine is four stare, but the app performance for downloading new content knocks the app down to two stars. If I cant get new content or I need to repeatedly download the same content then that is a serious problem.

26Aug13 - update: the problem detailed in my initial review remains. It appears to be triggered whenever the app auto deletes content due to space issues on the ipad. This should be something that the app owner addresses, as it is very annoying.
