Other common questions

I’ve just subscribed, where are my magazines

You can download issues from the "Buy" screen within the magazine app. Download buttons replace the buy buttons on issues you own.

If this is not the case… Power off your device by holding down the power button (a hard reset – wait for "slide to power off message" and power off). Then turn it back on. Relaunch your magazine app and go to the "Help" section, and tap "Restore Purchases" (on iPhone/iPod Touch, tap "More" then "Restore Purchases") . Once that’s done, return to the "Buy" screen, this should now have synced your available issues. All subscriptions begin as soon as you’ve made your purchase. Your subscription will give you the latest published issue on Newsstand, plus all new issues released during your active subscription. Please note, back issues released prior to the start of your subscription are not included, or special one-off magazines.

Free trial subscriptions explained

Where free trials are offered on selected titles, once you have taken a subscription, it provides the same access to issues as a regular Newsstand subscription. Whereby you can download the latest published issue right away, plus any new issues published during this initial trial subscription period. For example, where it says "Get 5 free issues", this means, the current (latest) issue and then 4 further new issues that will be released over the course of your free trial period. Once your trial period has expired your subscription will automatically renew until you cancel the subscription on your device. Details on how to manage your Newsstand subscriptions can be found here.

Can you help me with my Zinio subscription

We are only able to support our digital publications on Apple Newsstand. Zinio is a third-party digital publishing company who provide their own customer support.

Can I transfer my print subscription over to a digital one, or vice versa

This is not possible due to the technical complexities of our print and digital products sold through different vendors.

Can I transfer to my Apple Newsstand digital subscription to Andoid, or vice versa

This is not possible as digital subscriptions on different platforms are sold through and administered by different vendors.

I’m a print subscriber, can I get the digital magazine for free

Unfortunately subscriptions are handled differently across all digital platforms by many different third-party providers. At this time we are not able to offer this type of service, however, it is something we are actively exploring and we will post further information when it is available.

We’re confident that a soon to be released update will address this. If you experience an instance of this, please email us from the "Contact Us" link in the "Help" section of your app and we will assist you directly. Please allow the message to attach the log file as this will enable us to inspect the problem on your app.

Please allow the message to attach the log file as this will enable us to inspect the problem on your app.

Magazine issues disappear from the Newsstand App

If you downloaded an issue and it no longer appears to be there, this usually happens because you did an upgrade/restore of your device and the issues were removed by iTunes, or because your device was running low on storage space and removed the issues silently without notification (a built-in iOS feature). In both cases, you can follow these instructions to re-download your issues: To re-download the issues already purchased, press "Restore Purchases" from the "Help" section of the magazine app. If issues do not automatically download, you will be able to download them from the "Buy" screen.

Downloaded issue is stuck in Processing

This is often the result of running low on storage space preventing the process completing on the device. You may need to free up some storage space before attempting to re-download the issue. A hard reset should interrupt the stuck unzipping process, however in some cases you will need to reinstall the App on your device.

Follow the instructions in the section below to determine how much free storage space you have on your device.

Downloaded issue is corrupt, or missing pages

This maybe be the result of random internet connection problem during the transit of the download data that can happen from time to time. Otherwise it’s because the device is running low on storage and the issue hasn’t been able to extract the files correctly.

  • To re-download the issue, delete it first by from the "Library" area of your app. Tap "Edit" to delete issues. Return to the "Buy" section to download the issue.
  • If the same problem persists, to check on how much available storage space is available on your device, Tap the "Contact Us" link under the "Help" section of the app. Attach the log data when requested. The email body will will display how much remaining space is left. If this shows anything below 2GB, you must clear some data before reattempting to re-download the issue.
  • If the above does not help, please follow the tips below.

Additional downloading tips:

  • Close other open apps by performing a hard reset (powering off and on, by holding down the power button).
  • Do not leave the app during the download.
  • If your device is going to sleep during the download, you can change this setting on your device here: Settings > General > Auto-Lock.

Support for billing problems

The point of sale process for all Newsstand transactions for individual magazine and subscription purchases is entirely handled by Apple Inc. Because this process is entirely handled by a third-party company it prohibits us facilitating refunds or indeed checking any personal subscription details, and therefore we are unable to directly assist you with these types of enquiries.
