Very FRUSTRATING subscription process

Downloaded app. Paid for subscription, then was redirected to another app named Zinio, which required me to register separately, but does not recognize my paid subscription. Even the iPhone Life app still wants me to make in-app purchases for each issue. What a joke! How can they claim to represent Apples philosophy of elegant user experience. Let my story keep you from wasting $12 and thirty minutes of your life.

UPDATE: I downgraded from 2 stars to one. The Zinio app doesnt even offer iPhone Life. The only way I can see my digital subscription is to click on the link in an email I get from Zinio on behalf of iPhone Life. KEEP YOUR SANITY. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE PRINTED VERSION DELIVERED BY SNAIL MAIL.
