This free app download allows users to purchase the current issue and back issues within the app. Subscriptions are also available, starting from the latest issue. Subscriptions are conveniently charged to your iTunes account and will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. For those who wish to try before committing, some subscriptions offer a free trial period.

Users can create an account within the app, which provides the added benefit of protecting their issues in case of a lost device and enables browsing of purchases on multiple platforms. It is recommended to initially load the app in a Wi-Fi area to ensure that all issue data is retrieved. If the app fails to load beyond the splash page, simply delete and reinstall it from the App Store.

For assistance and answers to frequently asked questions, users can access the Options menu within the app or visit the App Support link. The Writer app values user privacy and provides a comprehensive Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, which can be found on the developer's website.
