New App Experience
-
Once you have downloaded the new App, you will be prompted to create an account or login. If you do not have a subscription, you will only be able to access free parts of the app. If you wish to get a subscription for full access, you will be able to purchase a subscription in app.
-
The Piano Pop-up when purchasing a subscription in the new app allows the DC Thomson team to track that you have a subscription. If you do not consent to this pop-up, we will not be able to know that you have taken out a subscription as you have purchased through Apple In-App and not through DC Thomson. We will also be able to assist you with your questions easier as we know that you have a subscription.
