Pros and cons of National Geographic Kids app for iPhone and iPad

National Geographic Kids app good for

Its great! Theres sounds videos slide shows its perfect! Something I really like is that all the magazines you purchase is all in one app which is great! I love it do much I hope they do lots of updates with lots of fun stuff
I got on just fine to the app. I put in the code, so I didnt have to pay for 2 versions, I dont know why everyone else is so crazy!
I have all the magazines in paper form and even the new ones ! I totally recommend this magazine !

Some bad moments

The free issue its worth the price (0.00$) in deed. There is no value whatsoever to this, and for the price youre planning to charge, my opinion is that you wont make mush sales. You should change the name from National Geographics Kids to Nationally Ripping off the Parents Magazine... Good luck!
The magazine subscription is really good but why do we have to pay for the electronic version as well. People Magazine and Wired magazine apps give you the digital copy if already have a print subscription. Why are you asking to pay twice for the same thing? UPDATE: Add Vanity Fair to the list of magazine subscriptions that dont make you pay for then print copy AND the electronic one too! Now thats fair! Come on National Geographic!!!!!!! 2nd UPDATE: Add Time and Sports Illustrated to the non-gouger list. They include the iPad version free if you have a print subscription already. Hell, almost EVERY magazine does it in the app store...oh, of course the other National Georgraphic Magazine, they charge you twice as well. FIX THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It worked for the first time and has not worked since. Every time I try to open it just kicks me out. Too bad because I purchased a few magazines :(
I  National geographic, but now, when I downloaded this app, I thought cool??! Its not really free, u have to pay for the magezine inside the app. Also, to make it free, u guys can put stuff in the app from a long time ago, FREE!!? Since its not in market any more.
I would like to have a free digital subscription with my print subscription as with National Geographic app.
When you download the app, you have to really search of the free sample. You have to hit "show more" twice to actually see it. In my opinion it should be on the first page.
