Texture - Unlimited Magazines

I have enjoyed using this app on Windows 10. The Kindle Fire app has more functionality, but Win 10 has been OK. A month ago, I found I was unable to download a magazine (Nat Geographic History). I received this response from Alex at Texture support: "I apologize, we do not currently have plans to add new titles to the existing Windows app. If you are unable to open any issues or titles then these will unfortunately be unavailable at this time. However we are planning on developing new and different ways for Windows customers to access Texture, please check back periodically for new options available for Windows users as they are developed."

This app works great on Android, but horrible on Surface. It should be easy to write for Windows Phone, but for some reason, the programmers don't want to. The app is slow, buggy, won't download magazines unless I restart the app two or three times, etc. Once it loads, it works well. I just spent my entire one-hour lunch looking at "Preparing issue". Good thing I could read e-mail on my Surface because I certainly couldn't read any magazines. Why is there no tech support? Why doesn't anyone ever appear with a fix or even a response? It worked pretty well for awhile, now it's crappy again. Down to one star!!.

Using this app is an exercise in pain, patience, and crashing. It takes far too many attempts to get an issue open. God forbid I rotate the screen: that will crash the app. The tragedy of it is that I like the service and the content. But because it's so difficult and so painful to use this app, I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on a subscription.

Make certain that this app is selected to "run in the background" for saving Issues to work correctly. Some users may turn this option off to save battery power - but if it's left OFF - the app will not work. Overall working ok. Seems to be slow, maybe a bit buggy when moving from one app to another then back to this app. I get a black screen sometimes. Good magazines for the money.
