Ratings and Reviews
Missing very basic features
My favorite time of month is when the previews catalogs come out, so I was really hoping this app would be a much needed upgrade to the old 2inch thick print catalog. But alas, it is missing some very basic features that I am very surprised aren’t present. The biggest is it doesn’t seem to ever download on my iPad. There’s a little download button, you press it, it goes away. But then the catalog never downloads, never appears in your library, gives no indication that it is processing, nothing. On the iPhone it seems to download, but if you set your phone down to let it, it will turn off and stop downloading. Plus I don’t want to look at it on my tiny iPhone.
The second biggest feature to be missing is that it does not remember your place. The catalog is very large, never have I gone through it in one sitting. So unless you keep the app open and active every time you open you have to go back to the beginning of the catalog.
Bookmarks. Often when I look at the print version I have some sticky notes with me to mark the things I’m interested in and want to go back and check. Nothing like that here.
Lastly, this isn’t a missing feature, but why the heck does it ask me for my Apple ID every time I open the app. That is really annoying. You should only ask for that if I buy something.
Bought a single issue, it was two years old
I needed a previews guide in a quick bind, saw this app and sighed with relief. I didn’t want to subscribe for a year, as I prefer to get the paper copies. Opted to buy a single issue, which on the app stated Previews April 2022, but after sending the purchase through, I found April 2020 in my library. Makes sense
Strange Account Requirements
Prevented me from registering with my gmail account. Also, has very strict password requirements, and didn’t work with the iOS password manager.
