Just subscribed to Evo - £5 for three issues, great. There's a story in there this month about the GR86, which I wanted to read.

Subscribed, and I can access this months issue on the app, so I go to the app store.....Evo magazine - nothing. Lots of other car mags, but not Evo.

Has it been booted off the app store?

You did subscribe to the digital version or digital plus print version and not just the print only version ?

I don't see what bearing that would have on what apps appear in the app store. What might have a bearing is which country the OP's app store account is based in. Not all apps appear in all territories.

No idea, he asked if he was being thick, and only buying the print version would indeed be thick if you wanted to digital version !!

The evo app shows up in a Google search, but clicking on the result results in a blank App Store page. I’m going to guess that the app has been temporarily blocked or withdrawn due to some sort of issue.

Evo is available on the Readly app if you want to do it that way

Yea I think it’s been withdrawn from the App Store for some reason….

Cheers for that thumbup , just signed up to them online, Readly is getting cancelled hehe

It looks like Borrowbox isn't on Kindle, but I've got a years old Kobo reader, I'll see if I can get it on there. Edit. Kobo is very old, doing anything online on it is a faff, I'll leave it.

I think there might be a few gaps compared to Readly but you can’t argue with the price - £0/month biggrin

I haven’t tried this but here are instructions for using BorrowBox with an eReader…

This is the best tip I have read on PH, or indeed anywhere, for a very long time. Thank you - downloaded, sorted in less than 10 mins.

Brilliant.
