Annoying ads that won’t go away

Ads all over the page and won’t go away. Very annoying

Subscription problems

I subscribed the 49USD package on the website for a full access to all content, but I can’t access to my subscription on the app, I’m writing to the customer service but no way they answer me… how can I get a refund?

Brutal

Will not stop crashing, need to re download it every time I want to use the app.

My account wont even sync.

I made my Forbes account in my Macbook and I downloaded the app in my phone as I was logging in it told me MULTIPLE TIMES my password was wrong even though im confident it was right, so i changed it, then i tried again. same thing happened "Please make sure you have entered your email and password correctly." Okay :/

Not a real app

Would be good to have a true mobile phone app

Struggling with this interface - really not well laid out

I love the quality of Forbes journalism, but the iPhone app is killing me. I see pictures with a word or two of text under them. Can’t tell what anything is about without clicking on it. There’s a banner asking me to turn on notifications permanently wasting a portion of my viewing area. Come on guys… this is shoddy design.

The Only News App You Need

Unlike the others Forbes is fair and impartial

Poorly formatted app

I like having access to Forbes on my iPad, but this is the most poorly formatted app out of all of the news apps that I currently use. This is particularly true given the price of the subscription. I want to have access to the magazine; so I continues to subscribe. However, this is the only app that makes me feel the cost of the subscription is not consistent with the value of the technology.

App won’t recognize my subscription

I subscribed through the browser and paid. The app recognizes my login but says no subscription and wants me to pay again. Well, at least i can access content through my browser. Pretty heavy ad load however.
One plus: browser access let’s you turn off auto-renew.

Horrible

I don’t even write reviews ever but this app was so horrible, I felt an obligation to speak out about it. Where do I begin…well I’ll start with the fact that it took a century just for the scroll to register. I mean I could’ve gotten up, popped a hot pocket in the microwave, taken a bite of it when it comes out just to realize it’s to hot, come back to my room….all before it took the time for the scroll to register. Second, I tried to search articles and nothing popped up. Then the user face seems so outdated and illegitimate, like I’d catch a virus from using it or like one of those apps you find advertised while watching an illegal stream. If I could give this app 0 stars, I would but I’m forced to give it a 1, but I guess I have to since the app actually turned on. Needless to say, I will not be downloading this app ever again. Forbes, more like Horbs (short for horrible).
