Real Simple Magazine App Reviews

So handy to have the review written for me when I wanted to review this app. Must log in and restore purchases each time you want to download magazine but the magazine wants me to tell you that its "Perfect!" Far from it.

Frustrated! I can buy a back issue without an account, yet must subscribe and setup an account to download/read the back issue? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

The only way I can get to my issues of Real Simple is to go to the App Store, search for Real Simple, and click on Open. The app itself is no where to be found on my iPad. What a pain! Why wont it go in the Newsstand with the other magazines?

I cant get this app to load on my iPad but its ok on my phone. Wasted so much time trying to get it to work logging in time and again.

Love it! Always have. Its easy to navigate and so very enjoyable, just dreaming about having an organized life.

There is a bug in the app where a pop up screen continually opens not allowing me to access the issues or anything else on my iPad. It took me about 10 minutes to get out of newsstand so that I could write this.

I switched to iPhone 6 yesterday. And I cant restore all of my previous purchase real simple mag. And I cant download new ones even my subscription havent expire yet.

I downloaded this, but decided I didnt want it, and decided to delete it. It has a FAQ about how to delete this. I created an account, but it will not validate my attempts to sign in. I tried the "send me a link to set a new password" and it complained that the two perfectly valid email addresses were not valid. Real Simple/Real Stupid

I cant access the February 2015 issue.

Ugh its sooo frustrating. I hadnt been able to read the magazine for about three months then I finally got it to work and just last night I decided to update the app. And now it crashes. Now I cant see the magazine again Im back to square one.

Awful! The app icon partially loaded and is now there but greyed out - cannot delete or re-download - even if they fix this bad app how will I ever get access to it?

This app is good!

The news stand app will only let me download one months issue.

I read RS on my iPad mini on the train to work. So compact and easy to carry!

I had no problems with app on my iPhone up until the update but, Ill be honest, I was too busy over the holidays to download the new issues. When I got my iPad last week I went to catch up and found out my sign in wasnt authorized to see the digital issues. After a quick email to the magazine, situation resolved. Now that it works Im pretty happy!

I love RS magazine. I enjoy reading it on my iPad. My complaint, and I realize its a bit silly, is the icon. My newsstand icon will not update ever since the special weddings issue came out. I like seeing the most current issue when I look at my newsstand main page. No other magazine does this just Real Simple. I emailed the magazine, and they said it was a problem with the app and they couldnt fix it. No biggie, Ill keep reading it. If they could fix the thumbnail, it would get 5 stars.

I enjoy reading RS on my phone, its very convenient & accessible. However, I wish there was a way to bookmark or highlight an article or product like I can do with my hard copies. Maybe in future updates???

Subscribed to this and Sunset. Sunset worked great..then NOT. Called and told .."Well, you only pay for content..we determine how to present it" And went on to describe that they are going to generic PDF format for all mags...1 size fits all. They have determined that previous method (having links available for touch as well as tabs took too much work" When asked about taking away functionality without notice (wasting my time trying to make what once worked happen) "We cant be bothered to notify users of changes and Apple wont let us anyway" I guess customers be damned...what a great paradigm for business today.

The magazine is ok but I cant get rid of the ugly Cover for the wedding issue.

Love this magazine. Great content and the digital version is done really well. It feels special and isnt just a scanned copy of the print magazine. Minor complaint...The Real Simple icon that appears in the Newstand shelf has been the special Wedding issue for SEVERAL months. Id prefer to see the cover of the current issue, so I can see the newness. Seeing the Wedding cover feels SOO stale - especially since Im not planning on getting married any time soon.
