Stephen, the problem with this app and other magazine apps like it is it doesn’t allow print subscribers to take advantage of the online version. The app only provides access for various editions of the magazine for a fee.
Users of the app should have the ability to use their print subscription account info to gain access to the Buyers Guide and other editions.
Just my two cents.
