Having problems with Newsweek for iPad?

[TheAnvil]

Hi,

Is anyone else having problems with Newsweek for IPad?

Every time I try to download any issue I get:

Authorisation failed
There was a problem with the authorisation problem.

Thanks

Having the same problem here, newsweek was not helpful and pushed blame to Apple

Yeah, it seems we are not alone.

Pretty much every review in the AppStore is 1 star.

Apple should do something about this broken app.

Looks like the new owners want more $$

There's a great article about Newsweek's new owners here: http://www.niemanlab.org/2014/03/the-newsonomics-of-newsweeks-pricey-relaunch/

At the Newsweek site, you can see that subscription prices are dramatically higher -- 50% more for the iPad subscription that includes web site access.

Bait and switch?
