How will I find out about rewards, competitions and access to exclusive members content?

Is the app optimised for use on smartphones?

Yes – every issue of the magazine and all content is published in what we call ‘device-optimised templates’ on both our app and this website. This means that, no matter the size of the screen you use, your magazine will be easy to read.

What additional features does the app offer over a print magazine?

The app gives you the best of both worlds! You can either enjoy your digital magazine in old-fashioned ‘magazine view’, which is basically a PDF replica of your print magazine, OR you can read it in optimised template format. - We call this ‘digital-view’ mode.

On the app, when you’re reading the magazine in digital-view mode, you’ll see a header bar at the top of each article. Here you’ll be able to:

Select audio mode and listen to the magazine being read to you
Select the size of text you find easiest to read
Bookmark features you want to quickly return to
Switch to ‘dark mode’ to make it easier to read your content

You'll also be able to access the content almost instantly when you order either the Print + Digital or Digital only Memberships.
