Where is Zinio?

pokee · 10-29-2011, 03:19 AM

I thought this app was supposed to be pre-loaded, just like the newspaper app. I can't see it anywhere. We get 7 free trial issues of newspapers...I was kinda hoping to get some free trial magazines...

Anyone see this on their Vox?

Update: NEVERMIND! I found it! I just didn't scroll down the whole way!

Did you figure out how to get the free magazines? I'm stumped.

When you open Zinio, you get a list of grayed out magazines. I'm guessing these are the free ones you can choose from. I tapped on PC Magazine and then the Nov 2011 issue and got it no problem.

I'm not sure, but you may need to create and sign in with a Zinio account? I still had one from some 10 years ago, and I just used that one.

No 'greyed out' mags for me, either. Maybe only for US citizens?

And...weird - I bought a mag and it charged me in US $ through the US site. Then I bought a subscription and it charged me in CAD $ through the CAD site. Maybe it depends on the mag?

Also, when I bought the mags, it got me to do this weird security thing at the end of the purchase - which failed after I entered my password, but I still got the mags and my paypal account was still charged fine. Weird...

I'm in Canada, and have a full screen of greyed out magazines... May ask Tech Support...

I did create a Zinio account, but it shows no magazines in the library

Tap the middle button and the shopping cart will come up and you can scroll through all the magazines.

Found the shoping cart, and PC Magazine, but no free option.
