It coulda been a contenda...
A terrible implementation; a publication like MacWorld deserves better. Unfortunately, the parent company, IDG, doesnt give a darn about the reader -- see their online offering for more proof of this -- the autoplaying video content, ad-heavy pages, and so on.
Back to this app. As others have noted, it wont download in the background, so you have to keep the app open and just wait. No working on something else -- just wait.
If youre reading an issue and put it aside for a while, your place is lost. In fact, you have to go to your library and open the issue all over again and find where you left off. Very annoying!
I gave up the subscription, and the chances of my returning are close to nil.
