Update Feb 9 16:
Just launched the app and now see a new behavior where the pages load with the contrast issue then adjust to a normal level. No new downloads, this on existing content.
I am running 9.3 beta of iOS. Wonder if this is related to the latest build. I was not running a beta when I wrote the first review.
It doesnt persist when a page loads and lightens. If I move to the next page and come back, it does the same thing. But at least I can now see detail in photos I couldnt before!
Ive added a star with hopes that soon the pages will load correctly without the animated contrast adjustment.

I really enjoy this magazine. I bought my first print copy earlier this year and had a great time reading the entire thing. Decided to sign up for the digital subscription.
Obviously, the content is still great, but I see what others are saying regarding images. At the Library view, things look fine. But when launching a magazine, all of the images, whether they are ads or part of an article, go to a hyper level of contrast. Darker areas of images go completely black. Light areas blow out completely. The text is, of course, still legible, but the image distortion really takes from the experience.
This should be a simple fix for the development team. Please knock this out so I can modify my review to a full five stars that the magazine, itself, deserves! Thanks!
