Pocketmags Digital Newsstand 17+

I am getting used to reading mags digitally. There are downsides - the biggest is it’s not easy to share stuff with family and friends like you would a regular mag. But it is convenient and saves space. But the experience is still quite basic. For example I was reading a mag yesterday with lots of good articles so I bookmarked them. It has now taken me a day to find how to access these bookmarks, and I can only access the bookmarks within that mag and only on that device! Not useful at all - I need to remember where I saw everything (I have Pocketmags plus- lots of mags to read!) and then I can’t pick them up on my iPhone from the iPad. They should sync and there needs to be a bookmarks section in My Library, not per mag.

Hi, many thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it. Improved bookmarking is indeed on the roadmap and we expect it to launch it later this year. This will allow syncing across your Pocketmags account and for your bookmarks to be accessed outside the issue. Many thanks again for your feedback, and your patience until the new feature arrives! If there's anything you need in the meantime please don't hesitate to contact us at info@pocketmags.com.

This app was fantastic. I could read my magazine and also save to pdf to print out the patterns from my Parchment Craft magazine. Sadly I updated to iPad Pro 2020 using iOS14.3 and now when I try to save it only saves the covers of the magazine no matter which page I press. I also tried the Parchment Craft app and have the same problem. This renders my magazine useless as the whole point of it is to make the things in it using the patterns which need to be traced. I brought this to Pocketmags attention and they told me to use Chrome or Firefox on the website - which still did not work for me - and then to go on a PC or Mac. I have neither and they are still advertising both these apps on the website from the Apple App Store. Asked for my money back for the latest magazine (which I get monthly) but no response yet - still it is New Year I guess. Needs to be fixed and they have now lost my business.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback. I understand that we have now replied by email with an interim solution to use on the iPad. We are investigating further as to whether we can restore the previous functionality that you mentioned. Many thanks again and our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

UPDATE: Thanks for your feedback, the share functionality allowing the save of a page has now been fixed. Our apologies for any inconvenience and frustration that this had caused.

This app needs some refinements in my opinion. I find it extremely irritating that the order I choose to show the monthly editions of my magazine in my library cannot be set as a default. I like to see them in order of publication but I have to reorder them every time I launch the app. It would also be good to be able to see a list of bookmarked items throughout the collection and not just within each edition separately. If I forget to read a bookmarked item that was in a previous edition it is likely I won’t find the item again!

Hi, thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear you're having trouble. We will be launching improvements to the bookmarking feature shortly - this will allow access them from the library as well as in the issue. I will also share the feedback regarding saving the library setting. Thanks again for sharing, if you would like to discuss further please do contact us at info@pocketmags.com.
