Nice idea, not well executed

Fine woodworking is a nice magazine, lots of info, well researched and presented. However, this app is unusable for me. Im living rural where the only option for internet is via cell phone towers. This means very expensive data plans. I can get over the large downloads per issue, but not over having to re-download issues over and over again. After every update of the app it looses all issues. Making a full backup doesnt help. Issues are not back upped. Also subscription info is lost after updates. Disturbing.

This all is too bad, since the readability is good (e.g. compare with the pdf versions of Pop Wood). A bit annoying are the bullet indicators of links. Visually I dont like them, but that might be just me. Sometimes there are many on one page, too many to remember. You have to reload the page to see where they all are. Defeats the purpose I think.
