Capricious lockout of account frequently occurs...
I really enjoy online read, but absolutely frustrated with frequent dropping of my subscription...customer are webpage shows my account is active until Nov 2020, but when I attempt to download today’s issue of JUNE 2020, the app tells me to PAY. The last time this occurred, it took 2 weeks of emails before the account was RE-activated.....Show lessMachination Nation
First Impression and Second Impression
I downloaded this after subscribing, under the mistaken assumption that I would be able to enlarge the text. I’ve never been unable to do this until now. It’s disappointing, and I wonder if it’s not done because large print is much more expensive for the printed magazine. Whatever it is, it’s sad! No purpose in ordering again if the print is so very small and difficult to read.
My second impression is better, since I now understand how to use the magnifier on my iPhone. I’m sorry I did poorly on my research.Show lessJannibee
Paid subscription but no access
I paid for a subscription through the App Store and am unable to read any issues. I used the “Report a problem” link in the Readers Digest app twice but get no response.
This seems a total rip off to me, they will take your money for a subscription and then not give you access. I’m not quite sure how they get away with this.
I would not recommend this app AT ALL.Show lessJeff 2112
Clunky
I have a digital subscription already. I wanted to check out their interactive words feature, as advertised in a recent issue on my kindle app. Downloaded the RD app and struggled with “registering an account.” Wasn’t able to get logged in after creating one. I think I’ll just stick with my digital content and avoid this less than user friendly app. Don’t wanna be double billed when I already have a subscription either (per the noted concerns of other reviewers). Please invest in user experience research and clear up the clunkiness of your app.Show lessteethnclaws
Great books. Easy to download and read on the go.
Fun read, humorous, informative and educational articles in one volume, every month.Siamesebird
Working better
I have a paid subscription and did not work initially. I finally had reply by email from customer service. They reset my account and I was then able to login.Larmbike
App charges even when you are a subscriber
I was assuming when subscribing the app would allow me to read through the mobile app. Only if you 3.95 a magazine. As a programmer and knowing how workflow and software works, this app is major issue, especially when you are charged for magazine again when you have subscription.
I’m 99% sure those people who subscribe and told they read online would like to know the fact the app charges for each magazine again.
I require simplicity, not duplicity.Show lessGETEVERSURFER
App not working
App is trying to charge me when print subscribers are supposed to get it free when I enter my account # it says it can’t find my info. I got it for free up till sept issue. I have done everything it says to do if you have problems not fixed. My subscription is still in effect until 2023. If I would have known this would happen I would never have gotten the subscription. Can’t always carry the magazine with me so it was nice to read it on my iPad.Show lesskesjjsmsdsvs
Not able to download issues even after paying 1 year subscription
It is unfortunate that even after paying a 1 years subscription that I am not able to download issues on my I pad or the I phone
I tunes direct me to the app developer and there is no one to reach out to
So I would not recommend the digital version
I am sure. Like me there are many for whom this digital version did not workShow lessStudiosm2
The best!
READER’S DIGEST is the best magazine I have ever subscribed to. The articles are always informational, funny, educational.... I could go on and on but let’s just say “there’s something for everyone”. I will always subscribe to RD!Gerry in Buffalo
