Interactive attraction
I use this on iPhone6 and read through the editions as they are released with ease. The links built in to the magazine are great and everything's stored handily in my pocket and not under my bed (or in the garage with 90's editions) :)
Easy to navigate
Good quality and easy to move around. Just wish there was some sort of indexing to search back issues.
Keeps crashing
I installed this app this week. I am a subscriber in the US, so my issues all come almost a month late. But every time I open the app it crashes.
Oh, SO lovely!
This mag is absolutely inspiring. The photography is skilled, making each issue such a treat to browse. And the writing is equally pleasurable for garden-lovers. My only frustration is that many of the plants growing so beautifully in English gardens would come to a sad and sorry end in the steamy summers of America's Deep South.

Poor service
I paid over $48 to get back issues and was never able to download. After a month and 4 reps saying "we are working on it" I have filed a complaint with App Store and my credit card co. Reluctant to ever try them again!
Inspiration!
Between the photos and the stories, each issue never fails to inspire me to try new things in my ever-changing garden.
Too slow and crashes often, but...
The app is slow and crashes or freezes often. When it does work, though, I enjoy the ability to zoom to look at specific plants and I love the hot-links to other sites and within the magazine itself. The photo quality is good, so fix the bugs and you've got a great product.
Highly recommend
If you enjoy gardening this is an excellent magazine and well worth the subscription.
Too much advertising for subscription
For a subscription magazine there is far too much advertising, you have to search through the adverts to find any articles. This is just the publisher grabbing money at the expense of the magazine content. Either make it a free magazine or reduce advertising by 2/3.
All my saved folders and bookmarks wiped
Have spent months saving articles about gardens or designers or plant ideas for my garden into different folders in the bookmark feature which were wiped out completely after a recent app upgrade. Apparently this is normal (according to support). So have gone from thinking this is an amazing app because of the bookmark and folder feature to deciding its a rubbish app because over a years worth of cataloging and saving articles has been wasted. Better go back to paper copies. Oh wait but that's a backward step.....
