There should be no problem Andy, I recently subscribed to MEW and can read the issues either through this website or via Newstand on my iPad. I have to say that reading them on the iPad is a superior experience to using a web browser on a PC.

In theory if you go onto th subscribe area on the right of the header you can then enter your digital subscription no. Worked for the ME's but not the MEW one. Iemailed about it and they want ALL the info from the plastic wrapper. Who keeps that? So I have to wait till next month's edition. Hmmmmmm.

Hi John

Log In ( Top Left)

In the "My Account" box that appears select " Digital Issues"

You will be given the option of the mags you subscribe to ( In my case MEW)

Click on the appropriate title and a list of all the available issues appears as copies of the mag cover pages.

Click on the appropriate issue and you will be able to see the contents.

( This was typed – and tried on our ( read my wife's) iPad which was a joint Xmas pressy a couple of years ago! Grrrrrr.

Cheers

John,

I presume that, like Andy, you are a "paper subscriber"

[… if that's not the case, then I give up]

Reading the description on the App Store: it appears that one can purchase either single copies or subscriptions in-App, and that these will be accessed via NewsStand.

BUT it's a different marketing channel, and a different profit-centre:

• Paper subscriptions come with free web-access to the PDF archive.
• App subscriptions come with NewsStand access, but no paper copy.

It's an either/or choice [unless you can justify paying for both]

… Hopefully, Chris can confirm my understanding.

You only have access while you are paying a subscription and its not easy to save single pages or whole issues.

Thats why I have kept up my paper subscription . Plus its often easier to have the mag open at the side of the computer while replying to queries or drawing things up then keep flicking between screens.

That's quite right and is, I find, the major disadvantage of digital "books" of all sorts. For instance a Kindle is excellent for fiction but, for reference material where you often need to flick back and forth, it's useless.

Norman

When fully downloaded and installed, one tap on it at the home screen used to take me directly into the digital issues, simply by signing in with my email and password.

Thought that was what the OP was after, perhaps I miss understood the post.

I routinely sign in via the home page now instead, and am a digital only subscriber.

Is it just by chance that down the right hand side MHS now have a link that allows you to buy back issues from iTunes at $4.99 a pop?

Colin,

Are you also logging-in on another device ?

… If so; the iPad will forget you, every time you do.

.

If that's not the problem, then note that you need to log-in via the Home Page to get the "remember me" check box.

Hope one or other of these helps.
