I have a digital subscription and this works well on my desktop under Win7. When I try to read back copies on my Android tablet I get a black/blank screen suggesting the viewer does not work.

Anyone else had / solved this ?

I had this problem a long time ago and gave up. No problems on the laptop running Linux. I'll have another look with my tablet and see.

The link to the app "http://www.model-engineer.co.uk/app/" is currently broken, not a good sign but the apps are available on Google Play.

Alan,

I think the problem is that the magazine viewer uses Flash and Android does not support flash, although there are convoluted ways to try and rectify this using different browsers.

The app on Android works for all magazines* that you have paid for but doesn't give you access to the back issues, which the browser version accessed via this website does.

* but not today it seems, I've just checked on my tablet

Well, it works OK on my new Android 5.0.2 tablet in that I can see the back numbers and preview them but it wants me to pay for them. It has logged me in using my email address (without asking) but I can't see a way to link it to my current subscription.

I will get Katy to look into this, but she's on leave until next week, I'm afraid.

The Android app seems to be OK now.

The issue remains that it is not possible to browse all the back issues (of MEW in my case) using Android with my print + digital subscription.
