The iPad app is an entirely separate thing and, because of the way the app store works for
small organisations like SOS, we have no way of linking the app subscription with any
existing or future SOS esub, paper mag or digital edition subscriptions. Essentially, if
you buy an iPad app subscription, you're buying directly from Apple, not SOS. We know it's
no ideal, but it's all there is at the moment...
The only free iPad app issue
is the Jan 2012 one. All the others must be purchased, but you will retain access to them
afterwards as long as you have the app on your iPad.
Glad you like the app,
though.
