Frustrated that I can't get at all this cool stuff.
You're welcome, but sorry it's not working for you. My experience has been the same as rodsky's; the "updating kiosk" spins for a few seconds and then I'm in. Are you accessing the app via WiFi or a cellular (3G or whatever) connection? My IPad is only equipped for WiFi; don't know if the speed of your connection might have something to do with your problem. Don't know what else to suggest.

Same thing happening to me - wifi enabled too. Deleted app and same issue. I'm thinking that not only do I need to delete app from iPad but also from iTunes and then redownload.

I was looking for iPad apps developer for design such kind of app. I really did found anyone who are expert. I have attempted to download as well but not much success.

Digging this back up... I can't figure out why I have no sound in the Christophorus app. Sound in all other apps. No setting I can find. Any ideas?

There are only a few features that have any audio. For example, when you open the latest download, issue 359, from the kiosk, there is a 5 sec audio track with a quick vid of the new Cayman S. Do you get audio then? I don't find any audio settings and almost all articles have no soundtrack.

We all love Porsche, but let's call a spade a spade.
Agreed. I recently let my subscription lapse. It's a high-quality magazine but it's all lifestyle fluff with a little Porsche information thrown in. For me, Excellence is a better read.

No doubt Excellence is better. Christophorus, however, is free as long as your car is in warranty.

I didn't have to do anything, or adjust any settings to get audio. Since you say other apps work fine with audio it's apparent you have no global settings issue and I have no explanation for your problem. My only suggestion would be to try deleting and reloading the Christophorus app if you haven't already.

I just happened to think when I saw this thread, why I haven't received an issue recently. Must be because my 2006 dropped out of CPO coverage.

My latest issue (Dec 2012-Jan 2013) arrived just 2 days ago so you may still have hope of getting one. Usually they will send a renewal notice so you can continue with a paid subscription once the freebie runs out.
