How to download to an iPad
Browser-based downloading is a problem on the iPad or iPhone once the files get large. I've been able to successfully download to an iPad using GoodReader, and it's consistent too - works every time. GoodReader is a regular Swiss Utility Knife app for the iPad for $5 and it's worth every cent.
Go to the Web downloader page (Green button), then tap and hold on the issue link, select Copy.
Then go into GoodReader and tap Connect and then Enter URL. GoodReader knows you copied the URL earlier so it's all set, just tap OK and watch the issue download in the progress bar. Once it's downloaded, you can open and read it in GoodReader or you can tap and hold the magazine file, then tap Open in ... to open it in any app like iBooks.
GoodReader is an amazing app, you can also use it to download, unzip, and play any MP4 downloadable videos we sell.

Yep, all in good time
Yep, all in good time. There's a number of images in the issue stockpile that aren't yet up to the 300 DPI standard - but for the ones that are, oh boy do they look nice when you zoom in!

I can't seem to download it
I can't seem to download it on iPad either. Android and Mac book seem fine.
And Joe just posted the solution...

Can not save on IPad
IPad
Not too happy having to purchase a device to download on my IPad. It used to work just fine. Why change?
iPad download woes
IPad download woes ...
First of all ... The EMBEDDED edition will do you no good on an IPad ... It's just a huge file full of media you cannot play. Download the standard edition!
Second, not sure I understand the complaint about needing to buy a device to read MRH? The only purchase I mentioned was the GoodReader APPLICATION which is available in the Apple App Store for less than $5. You can tap the App Store icon on your iPad, search for GoodReader, buy the app and download it to your iPad in a couple minutes. As a result your iPad will now have an app that makes downloading and reading ALL PDFs on your iPad a pure joy. How is that something you don't appreciate?

IPad download
Have to agree with the others, there is a problem.
I have been downloading non-flash to iPad and then opening in Good Reader for over 12 mths, never a problem seamless. this edition impossible, file hangs on download, tried all the servers.
Sorry.
Works great here ... Maybe file size or iOS version?
Thing is, we didn't change anything with the downloadable files other than this month's file size is larger than last month. We used the same software to make the PDF and the same servers to deliver it. We didn't change a thing ... And it's downloading to our iOS devices just fine. We are not on the latest release of the iOS, however. Could that be the problem?
We are on a mixture of iOS 7 and iOS 8, none of which are on the very latest releases. What iOS version are people on who are having problems?

I just tried it on my iPhone
I had trouble using the Chrome app with the web download, tried Safari, downloaded no problem. I have iOS 8 with all the latest updates.
