quickweh Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Can anyone offer advice on how to read the digital version of MMM? I have loaded a free copy onto my account at Pocketmags. Downloaded the app from Google play and logged on to my account. Tried to load the mags, zilch. The help line replied once with log on advice, replied stating above, no reply to date. I am using an ASUS Transformer running Android 4.0.3 The Pocketmags app gets one or two stars on Google Play so I am not going to risk a subscription until sorted. >:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billggski Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 My sample loaded onto an iPad OK, couldn't see it at first, it was in newsstand, but I'm a new magazine subscriber and so waiting for my mag in the post. I guess it's loaded somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave225 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I have a digital mag subscription (not MMM I am afraid) and use the offline reader available from Pocketmags.. However, one fault I have found is that when you load it on to the computer it gives you a 2 page layout by default. Therefore to read the print (with my eyes anyway) you need to use zoom which only gives you a 1/4 of each page so you spend time scrolling down and sideways. Frankly I find it a bit tiring and will probably not renew and go back to just buying the paper version. I alsoo find that easier to read propped up in bed. However, one good point was that i could get access to the mag while in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ MMM Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Hi Quickweh We've spoken with the company that deal with our digital issues and they've said the best option is most likely for you to search for the MMM app rather than the Pocket Mags app, then to download the MMM app and from there the free issue. Hope this solves your problem Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickweh Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Thanks but it appears that the MMM ap does not work offline. It needs a good reader, Zino is recommended by reviews on the Google Play store. I assume the PC and Apple users don't have a problem. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I tried today to load the digital copy of MMM as an experiment as I am a subscriber to the printed version. I managed to download to my PC but could not read it as the print was so small and I could not get it to increase its size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildi Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I have tried the off line reader, it doesn't work off line on my netbook with win7. Good for Russ he managed to get in touch with Pocketmags I emailed several times and they don't bother to reply, even to their help line. It's a shame as I prefer MMM and as I have been on the road for nearly six months now and I would have like to still get my MMM but having to be online to read it was just a pain, so I spent my money with Practical motorhome which for me the offline reader is great. No problem to download and I can read it when I like. Maybe MMM should change company to one that actually works. When at home I do prefer the paper copy.

quickweh Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Tried the MMM app from Google Play, that works OK for me. I can read the mag off line and the ideal improvement would be a single page view or adjustable zoom. The Pocketmags app is still not loading my library but the MMM app may be the best option. :-D :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
