Set-up was not seamless, but back issues can be read
Edit—Down to two stars. The app is not recognizing my purchase. I am unable to read Mother Jones. Unable to contact Magzter through the app—there is a forever spinning wheel. I don’t why it is so hard to make an app that can see what subscriptions the user has and allows them to see said purchased content. My subscription renews on 11/5, so that is not the issue. I am going to see if Mother Jones is still printed and dispense with this crappy app. Edit—Ok, I’m upping an initial 1 star to four stars. I am able to read articles from back issues in the “Articles” section. I am now assuming that I can forever read all the issues that occur during my subscription but only back issues whilst the subscription is current. Other than the set-up and my confusion over back issue access, the articles look good in the app. I should have also mentioned that Magzter did respond to my emails promptly. I’m hoping that after reading the magazine itself I can up the rating to 5 stars. I am writing a note to myself to update this review should I get everything working. My story—I purchased a one year subscription through the app store and downloaded the Mother Jones app. It didn’t recognize me and I ended up downloading the Magzter app. With some back and forth with Magzter help, I got the Mother Jones app to recognize me, but the Magzter app while recognizing me doesn’t acknowledge that I purchased Mother Jones. Finally, In the Mother Jones app I am able to open the latest issue! Alas, prior issues are shown with two buttons “Preview” and “$6.99”. I am interpreting that to mean that one does not get free access to back issues. When I look at the Mother Jones page in the App store, I do not see that prior issues are not provided free with subscription.
United StatesTruth telling and muck raking- share MoJo with everyone you meet
The reporting in MoJo is rock solid investigative journalism. You often will read it here first.
United StatesSave your money
This app just doesn’t work on mobile and there is no help. As much as I respect MJ and want to read it, it’s not working. I even downloaded Magster and that didn’t help either.
United StatesHave not used yet - did not know app took $$$ ?
I pushed 5 stars because I love Mother Jones. If I get magazine I assume I could read on app for free. If so, I can read on airplane or while traveling, but I have no desire to pay for an app. I read the other reviews and now have these questions. Syracuse, NY subscriber, and reader newly re-subscribed
United StatesThis is not Mother Jones’ app, it’s an unaffiliated 3rd party App
This app is a Magzster app that focuses on selling Mother Jones. Per Mother Jones, this is not their app. They don’t have their own app. Mother Jones’ digital subscription is hosted through the app Zinio. This app allows you to purchase issues of Mother Jones. There isn’t anywhere to input digital subscription information to access existing subscriptions. This seems to be Magzster’s business model - they currently have 102 other apps pretending to be that of reputable publications. Apple will not take this App down because it is owned by a third party.

United StatesCrap app won’t let me past the Magzter settings
I purchased mother Jones. The app took my money and does not create an account enabling me to view content. Cancelling and getting money back is not easy.
