SOS App FAQs
Where can I download the SOS app?
You can download the Sound On Sound App from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store — and download our free November 2020 issue as an in-app purchase (no charge) to check out the features.
What's in the Tablet edition?
The App includes all the content of the print issue of Sound On Sound magazine, enhanced with interactive screens/pictures and audio*.
Do the issues expire?
No. Once you purchase an issue you will have access to it for as long as you keep the app — even if your subscription lapses. You can choose to Archive any issue(s) and re-download them onto your Tablet at a later date.
How do I buy single issues for my Tablet?
Single issues can only be bought from within your app as an 'in-app purchase' via iTunes/Google Play stores; they are not available from the SOS Shop.
Is there any benefit in subscribing via the SOS Shop?
Yes. You can purchase the DIGITAL subscription on its own (and we now give you Tablet+Web+Full Issue PDF access) or as part of a bundle with the Print magazine. Go to the Subscriptions Dept for pricing.
- Note: Customers who subscribe/renew through Apple directly or as an in-app purchase do not receive Web+Full Issue PDF access; this service is only available with DIGITAL subscriptions bought via the Sound On Sound site.
Is the Sound On Sound App available for Smartphones?
- Yes. The v15.0 App running iOS 12.0 (or higher) and Android OS 7.0 and higher.
