  • Overcharged

    Update: Was able to get full refund and magazine cancelled.

    Magazine is hard to navigate. Prefer normal flip pages. A lot of the sections, or articles, only show the cover page without the rest of the article and at the bottom of each cover page is a popup asking to sign up for the newsletter. Unnecessary with each article. The content is nice but the layout of the magazine is distracting and ultimately ruins the experience of reading a magazine. Now on to the pricing. I clicked the 6 month option for $1.99, which indicates the price will renew at $14.99 after the 6 months. Well, this is not the case. I was immediately charged $14.99. Trying to get a refund for the overcharge, but not holding my breath.

  • Convenient on the go.

    Took the six month special offer subscription to the digital version of Red. Also I find it hard to ditch the printed copies of magazines! Great for on the go, and simple to navigate but, where are the cooking recipes? Or maybe I haven’t navigated that well 🤔
  • When it works it’s great….

    I don’t subscribe to the magazine, preferring to make one off purchases when something catches my eye. That said, I pretty much end up buying every month. Unfortunately every few months something happens at the app level where I can’t access my purchase. When I contact the help center I invariably get asked for my subscription details (despite advising in advance that I’m not a subscriber) and then told there’s nothing that can be done as I’m not subscribed. If it was a one off I’d be less annoyed but this is 3 or 4 times a year. No issue with other publications so I know it’s not me……

  • Terrible experience

    App keeps freezing or will suddenly crash and I lose my place in the magazine. Would rather a hard copy version at this point!!
  • Rice of clothes

    Not all of us can afford really expensive clothes. A mix of different cheaper and more costly clothes would serve your readers better. Few have the cash to buy designer clothes. Constance Jane
  • Bring back the old format

    I love red. I regularly post dozens of articles in every edition to my scrap book (great feature!) but this month I discovered the new layout of the digital editions. Long scrolling pages with none of the density of content I have come to love. It’s suppose to be more user friendly I’m sure but it is so light. I’ll have to cancel my subscription now which, as I’m abroad, I’m so disappointed to have to do. I can’t get the hard copy. But it’s just that different a reading experience now. Please change it back!

  • The worst app

    Probably the worst app I’ve ever experienced. Completely unfocused on user experience - for example no Forgot Password button, instead a link to the parent company and a trawl through their site to reset. App does not reflect the content of the magazine which used to be good when I could access it.
    Update. Email them for access help and they reply with a standard email that doesn’t address the problem. The app is unusable so don’t waste your money subscribing to this magazine as you will never be able to read it on the unsupported app.

  • The current issue disappeared from my iPad

    The current issue - AUGUST 2020 with Elle McPherson on the cover - has disappeared and I can’t get access to it. Getting tired of re-installing the app so I'm cancelling my subscription until it's sorted.
  • Insipirational

    Ok, so I brought the very first ever copy of Red, and loved it.i stopped reading it, not sure why but various reasons. I picked this up again and wow-I was stuck between paper and digital but digital is awesome. I love the scrap book element and the ability to zoom in (so I can read it) ❤️
