Latest reviews of Mental Floss Magazine app for iPhone and iPad

Magazine format - must purchase
Not an app. A magazine that you must zoom in to read each page. Not worth purchase. Would rather buy paper version.
Discontinued
Havent received a new issue in months. Checked my subscription list and according to the App Store this magazine was discontinued even though it still shows up as downloadable. So Ive cancelled my subscription.
Nice
Ive always seen this magazine around but never really picked it up. Glad I did. Read the Nov 2012 issue cover to cover in one sitting. This is my kinda read. Lots of interesting articles and factoids. Takes history and trivia to a new level. And two issues are free! May be my first online mag sub that I pay for strictly on the tablet vs paper based with a tablet component free.
Used to be so much fun!
When the quiz was interactive it was so awesome! The print size used to be perfect. The reading experience isnt as special. Its like reading a photograph of a magazine. The little details that made it a special tech edition, with scrolling (and things Im not tech-savvy enough to know the names of ) disappeared. I like the cutting and streaming/sharing bit they added, the back button, the part of the app experience when you are not reading the magazine. (The ways the issues are arranged and down/uploaded, ) etc. Oh well, Humans can never just make things better. They always have to make something worse for everything they make better.
Purchased dec 2013 issue...where is it??
The iPad is telling me that I purchased it but I didnt download it and there isnt any option given to do so. So I just blew 5.99 on nothing. I dont know how these reviews work but I wont hold my breath yet for anyone at mental floss to help me. 1 star until I get my issue!!
