Can I download a magazine over my mobile data network?
Yes, but we do NOT recommend it. Some of the file sizes are large and this will use up a lot of data. Depending on the data deal you have with your network supplier, you may be charged to download over a mobile data network. This cost could be considerable. Also, if you’re abroad, we would definitely not recommend downloading over a mobile network. Our advice would always be to ensure you download over a safe and secure WiFi network – the better the speed of the connection, the faster your download will complete.

The app works with any operating system from iOS 14 & up and Android OS 5-11. It also works with any device that has a 64-bit processor, or greater. Older devices with 32-bit processors and older operating systems may NOT be supported. If you try and download an issue using any of the older devices or operating systems, the app is likely to crash. If you’re using supported devices / operating systems, yet are still having difficulty downloading issues, please follow these tips: When you download an issue, please only download one at a time Remain on the page when the issue is downloading...
Can I read my issues offline?
Yes! Just make sure you download them fully first over a good WiFi connection. Once downloaded, they will store on your device and can be read offline.
