    Send a support request to [email protected]. Let them know directly. Hopefully they will have a quick fix.

    Suggest you be nice in your messages, tell them how glad you are that they are now supporting PlayBook!

    Not working for me either after multiple deletes, reboots etc.
    I guess unless you are a bb fanboi, or one of those pathetic reviewers who gave the app five stars, the app doesn't work for you.

    I just did a delete and restore of the magazine (I had already done it multiple times) and it worked this time. So they must have fixed the glitch. I hope.

    A disaster of a release but they have definitely won me over with their customer support alone.

    Came across this Android app today and Crackberry user kozmonaut was nice enough to convert it for Playbook:

    Here's the response I got regarding the $25

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Zinio Customer Support.


    Thank you for using the brand new Zinio app on your Playbook!


    All new Playbook users will receive a $25 credit for downloading and installing the app as long as they filled out their information on that page after the launch of the app. (You will have received a $5 code as well)


    This credit will be sent within 48 hours of you entering your email on this list. Please only sign up once as multiple entries may delay the arrival of your code, also please make sure you input the email address that is tied to your Zinio account.


    If you have not yet received credit within 5 business days, please check your email SPAM or JUNK folder and then reply to this email.
    So apparently I'll be getting a total of $30
    'That page' they are referring to is Form, if you haven't done so, make sure you register there or you won't be getting the credit they promised. Registration is open until March 31st

    edit to point out the important parts

    You can do that with Zinio too. You need to contact the magazine publisher and ask to switch to a digital subscription. If they can't do it, you could always just cancel and subscribe digitally.

    Noticed that Maxim and Bizarre were both in my magazines last night, but only just got around to opening them now. Haven't noticed any of the issues with opening Maxim, works fine.

    I'm a relatively happy camper.

    Single tap on the screen. This will bring up a thumbnail film strip at the bottom of hte page. At the top of the page you will see a back arrow that takes you to the library, and at the right, you will see icons that when tapped will lead you to larger thumbnails of the pages to flick through , or the regular magazine view. Single-tapping will toggle the full pages (landscape) view and the thumbnail views.

    Edit. I miss the PlayBook swipes.
    lmao ... why would they do such a thing when the PB swipe options are SO much better?

    I'm glad you got your code. Still, I am surprised at the different answers we're getting. And also, the code expires 3/30... so you have to use it within a week? The $5 code I got expires at the end of April. That's not a lot of time to use it either, but at least it gives me a month to use it. Now I know it's a gift and I'm sure there's people out there who say I shouldn't complain, but I have to say that I'm slightly disappointed by the way they're handling all of this.
