Pros and cons of Reader's Digest app for iPhone and iPad

Reader's Digest app good for

Very well done, this Ap presents my favorite magazine with impressive add-ons. I love it.
By reading the articles I do improve my English skills. Thanks you all!
Im usually not the type to write a review, but this time I thought I should give it a try. I have been an avid reader of the Readers Digest for the past 30 years (the print version), and have found its articles very easy reading, immersive, instructive, useful, fun, illuminating, and just plain enjoyable. But now with the electronic version available for the iPad it has made it even more so as it has also become interactive and entertaining. It is very easy to use and the text very clear and easy to read. What makes it a winner is the added interactive media elements such as videos, slide shows, and animations which of course one cannot get in the print version, making the electronic version so much more interesting and alive. Being able to not just read an article but also watch a video related to it makes it a lot more immersive and fun. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
If you buy the print magazine, its so small that you can bring it anywhere you go. But this iPad edition gives me various kinds of values. interactive interface, video embedded or internet linked article, and inexpensive price. This is the one what you should subscribe on iPad.
I adore this magazine even before digital press. now I am very charmed with its digital issues because it includes high definition pictures, videos, and multimedia. however I would like to use dictionary while reading in order to gain more vocabulary. Very helpful to maintain English language skill alive.
I now do most of my reading, books and magazines with my I-Pad. Easy to carry and I can always have it handy, waiting is no longer a problem.

Some bad moments

I have contacted the Readers Digest customer Service four times now with no help forthcoming. I have requested assistance in linking my Readers Digest subscription to the digital access app. I have described in detail what is happening, or not happening when I attempt to link the app to my subscription via phone and email. Its now been over two weeks since I have repeatedly requested assistance with this problem. I keep being told that the home office must be emailed and I will hear from them but so far just emails promising help but no help. I have given the. Me verified account number, my phone number, my email address, my browser information, etc but so far I am being ignored by Readers Digest which is quite surprising to me given to company. I had always thought that Reades Digest was top quality but NOT!!!!
Ridiculous. I have iPhone 6 and my husband a 6+. App is worthless. Nothing works on either phone. Cant create account. Cant sign in. Zero stars if I could.
I am tired of wrestling with trying to get the iPad version to work when I occasionally want to read it online. Either give access to the online version with subscription or not. This long time subscriber is calling it quits for good.
App does not work well. RD is a dishonest company, subscription dates keep on changing.
RD doesnt work at all on my iPhone, but it works great on my Kindle. What I dont understand is why I cant get any help with the problem. If it was my choice, I wouldnt give this app any stars because Ive tried repeatedly to get it to work and it hasnt. I love RD, Im 50 and Ive been a fan of the magazine ever since I could read my grandmas. I still remember some of the stories back then. I would actually love to read them again, if only RD could digitalize the older back issues. I would love to see more of the old stories.
They claim that print subscribers can get RD on line free and each month they send an email saying it is ready but you cant do anything but BUY the on line version. It is too expensive to do both and too hard to download! My wife prefers the print and I prefer the digital.
