Expected to buy editions even with subscription

I downloaded this app after purchasing both an online and paper subscription. One would think that with the "free access to hundreds of plans and previous editions" that is promised with a subscription would be transferable to the app (same material, right?). It turns out that it is not. You are only provided rights to material that has been released within your subscription window and are expected to purchase access to previous issues ($8 each). It doesnt make any sense that I would be able to read an issue in my browser (unideal format) but have to pay for it using the app where the format would be much more readable. This is an insulting business practice. Shame.
