Caviar content served in a dirty ashtray

The latest update has removed the most current 5 issues from my library, and no amount of restoring iTunes purchases or force synching will make them available without purchasing them again, and I am a subscriber. It would not be as painful to see this if the content was terrible, but the Absolute Sound is and always has been the best audio magazine available.

★☆☆☆☆Fi0212/6/2022
Nice mag. Terrible app. Clueless customer service. Avoid.

I bought a subscription through the App Store and it worked well for 9 months. All of a sudden the app “forgot” that I am a paid subscriber and has locked me out. So far trying to get the problem resolved through The Absolute Sound/Nextscreen Services (the developer) has been futile. Seems there may be no tech support there for app problems. Prior to that I subscribed through TAS directly for many years with countless dozens of issues in my library. And now, since this current problem, every single issue has disappeared. TAS claims that my email address, the only one I ever used with them, is not associated with any subscription. Their response to multiple inquiries regarding my lost issues amounts to “too bad, stop bugging us”. Save your money.

New update is perfect

This app is the best thing ever you can read all the articles really well and I love it. It’s so clear and perfectly formatted. All alignments are correct. All buttons work. All everything works. I can’t wait to get up in the morning and find the new magazine. I am in love 5/5 stars best app ever best developer ever. He is my dad
