App crashes when there is no wifi

Got introduced, to this app and magazine by a friend and its a really good magazine with lots of interesting articles. However the app has one glaring problem it crashes if I try to use it with out some form of Internet connection being present even though the issue I wish to read has been downloaded. This is a real deal breaker because I usually read my iPad magazine subscriptions on the bus on my way to work where there is no wifi. Therefore I cannot give this app full stars; Vice, please fix this.
