Drongo Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 So... Normally I'd buy the Sporting Gun magazine ever so often then pass it to my Dad after I'd spent the 15-20 mins reading in between the adverts... Then I seen that you could subscribe as a print subscriber and get the iPad version free of charge... Great thinks I... Paper version for dad, digital one for me... :o) Then I try subscribe to the iPad version, but it won't let me....?? So I contact IPC media, ask them about it, and am told that I'm not eligible for iPad as I have a print only subscription and would need to take out an iPad subscription also...?? So I looks on their website and find this link... http://ipad.ipcmedia.com/dps/help/IPAD_edition.pdf Which says down below the pics... "Print subscribers are only entitled to the iPad edition, at no extra cost. No other mobile platforms are included in the print subscription." Looks pretty clear that I can get the iPad edition, yea...? I wonder what's going on...? I'm certainly not paying for two subscriptions... Emailed them back again, said sort it or cancel subscription... Be aware in case it catches you out too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elgreco Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm not 100% sure but I think if you scan the QR code inside your printed copy with your iPad then you can view it on your iPad Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markm Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 I was under the impression that shooting times ipad edition come free with paper subscription but sporting gun you had to pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drongo Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Well, I got a reply.... Basically said hard luck, iPad editions are no longer free of charge (despite advertising on their website stating otherwise) and if I wish for the print and digital then I will have to take out an additional subscription. I said I wasn't prepared to do this and as they had incorrectly advertised something to entice me to enter a contract, that they are no longer willing to fulfil, I would like to cancel my subscription and receive a full refund.
