Useless subscription
When Apple came up with newsstand, I thought the whole idea was that the latest magazine would be automatically downloaded. But it doesnt, even worse, you must babysit the download and you can only download one magazine at a time. It would be better if it was just a regular app. Every time I get on a plane, I pull out my iPad and think, good time to read wired. Nope, 350MB on wifi at an airport usually takes an hour and I cant use my iPad for anything else. Pure garbage.
Now I just got an email noting that I have been charged for another year. Managing subscriptions on an iPad is in a ridiculously hidden location. (Store, touch featured, scroll to bottom, select apple ID, then select manage subscriptions). Then you can disable autorenew which is automatically chosen when you purchase an annual subscription.
