News Plus issues do not download and this needs to be addressed

Apple are you listening?? I have seen several issues posted about how magazines cannot be downloaded for offline reading. This has happened to me several times and it is incredibly frustrating.

I have an iPad Pro with plenty of space and all the latest OS updates. I frequently see new issues of my favorite magazines and can tap the download button, but nothing happens.

The issues are not available when my iPad is offline (such as when traveling, which is why I am trying to use this function). But when I use the menu to try to download them again, my only option is to remove the issue. It does not show up in my downloads, but I cannot download it again.

There is no rhyme or reason to why this happens. Rebooting does nothing. The only consistent fix I have ever found for this is to completely delete the Apple News app, reinstall it, and re-download the magazines.

Is there anyway to see the queue of magazines we are trying to download? Is there any way to give us some kind of progress bar to show the download progress? There are several user interface features that could make this process much easier, particularly if Apple is not going to address these long-standing issues.

What is worse is that this function worked perfectly with Texture over five years ago. Apple bought the company (which I am fine with) but the functionality is so much worse.

PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE!
