iPad magazines.. almost
Hi Ian
I've consulted our tech gurus who say that if you subscribe to the paper version you don't have to get the app for the iPad, you can view and download the issues on it in exactly the same way as you can access them online on your computer or laptop.
If you open them up on the iPad's web browser you can view and download issues (in pdf format) and still have access to the full archive as well. The viewing experience is very similar to the app. As Prop Swinger said, because it goes through Apple it’s very hard to retrospectively add our print subscribers to the app version which is why we haven’t done it yet, but we are looking into it.
Hope that helps,
Nick W
