However, the last Digital Issue that I received via the Sky & Tel App on my iPad is July 2018. I understand that to combat piracy, Sky & Tel have now migrated to publishing via another App in the Apple App Store, called Zinio.

So, I have a couple of questions:

• Did any current iPad Subscribers receive a notification of this change, from the Sky & Tel App to the new Zinio App?
  
• If so, how did you migrate the balance of Issues from the already paid-for Sky & Tel App Subscription to the newly adopted Zinio App, for the current August 2018 Issue and any remaining Issues that you have already paid for, as part of your current Subscription.

I am having some difficulty with trying to obtain any help from Sky & Telescope Magazine (USA) on this topic and a way forward to accessing my outstanding, already paid for Issues.

Thanks

I did not receive an Email advising of the move to Zinio, neither did no one on CN that posted in a now since closed thread on the subject.

I received no Email for the August 2018 edition either. The first I knew of the whole shenanigans was reading the CN post/thread on it.

I am far from impressed with S&T's new owners - F+W Media.

I call BS on their claim that piracy was an issue, hence the removal of the option for a downloadable PDF. This is just another case of a manufacturer screwing over customers cos they can.

I immediately cancelled my subscription (had around 6 months left). I make no apologies. No PDF, no $$$ from me. Plain and simple.
