Is there any prospect of the online magazine being available on Windows laptops etc. I have subscribed to the online edition but I now find I cant read it on my Windows 10 laptop, the Wife has a IPad but she says it fills up the memory as she now gets warnings that the hard drive is short of space. No comments about the actual magazine, I personally dont mind it, good advert for trousers which I used so it does have it`s uses. Excuse spelling mistake on header, you know what it means.

I would have thought that for windows having it available as a PDF file which you could download would be enough. I am not sure if its still the same but many magazines are assembled as PDF's to send to the printers. It would also be handy for printing parts of the magazine if that was requird?

We used to have a digital version on here, I miss it and found it useful.  It's only avavilable now on certain devices details in the magazine app section.

I wonder why they've removed the digital version from here. I can't be bothered to try using the app on my phone.

I reference to the lack of memory, I posted the following on another thread about the mag. It could well explain the warnings:-

I have just noticed that the magazine app had consumed 1.4 Gb on my iPad, despite only having two mags downloaded. I generally delete them after I have looked at them. After deleting all the mags the app was still 1Gb, so I Deleted User and reinstalled the app. It now showed at 200 Mb, so it looks as though it was not giving all the memory back when mags were Deleted User. A quick test showed they seem to have fixed this, but mags are still 200 Mb a time. So you would not want to store many on your device, unless you have plenty of surpluse memory.

Same here. And of course some don't have a pad etc. Up until this year I have used a 12'' laptop whilst away

Looks like it's up to its old tricks again. When I re downloaded the app it was 200 MB, loaded one mag about 430 MB total. I have just checked after loading a second and it's up to 780 MB. So either this mag is very heavy on memory, or something is amiss.

I tend to let about a months worth of daily and weekend newspapers build up, before I delete them. I just checked and at just over a month I am up to 878 MB. Yet two mags is 780 MB. Something must be wrong. Given that the app is designed for pads and phones with expensive SSD's, that often are not that large and working near the limit, designing such a memory hungry app does not make sense.
