Apple Edition FAQs

1) Where can I download the app for my magazine onto my iOS device? Our iOS applications can be downloaded from the Apple App Store. Our apps consist of a storefront in which you can buy, manage, and read individual issues of the magazine.

2) Can I buy a subscription to the iOS Edition? Yes! Simply go to the Library section of the app. To purchase a subscription, tap the subscribe banner or button.

3) What does my subscription include? Why can’t I access back issues? Per Apple policy, a subscription includes access to 1) the latest issue at time of purchase, and 2) all future issues which are published during the duration of your subscription. Frequency of publication varies by magazine (usually 12x/year, 6x/year, or 4x/year.) Back issues are not included with an in-app subscription.

4) I am a print subscriber. Does my print subscription allow me to access issues in the app for free? Unfortunately, at this time we do not offer free access for print subscribers.

5) Do iOS edition issues expire? No. Once you purchase/download an issue, the issue will be permanently stored on your device until you “Archive” it. Archiving an issue will free up storage space on your device. After an issue is archived, it can be freely downloaded again at any time as long as you are actively signed-in to the account with which you purchased/downloaded the issue.

6) How do I check the status of my Apple subscription? Your in-app subscription can be managed on your device. To do so, please see the instructions at this link: https://support.apple.com/kb/ht4098

7) I have a billing problem. Can I send you my iTunes account information to get it resolved? Per Apple guidelines, all of The Enthusiast Network app purchases and “in-app-purchases” take place via your App Store account. Questions about charges to your account, refunds, etc. should be directed to Apple, here: https://expresslane.apple.com
