Unlimited Access is a joke

Despite having an unlimited access subscription, I cannot use the app on my iPad. Instead I have to use the web browser to view content. Very disappointing.

Something to trust

I don’t do ratings often but the last few years have made me value well researched, reporting that isn’t trying to sell me something. I have recommended Forbes to a few friends who have later thanked me. Thanks for making me look good, Forbes.

The worst experience

I bought a subscription online first and then it got randomly cancelled without any refunds.

Then, I bought a subscription in the app - and never received an receipt, can’t log in into the app, but money has been charged.

Emailed customer support - crickets

Not a great news layout

I like Forbes’ news but it’s layout is awkward compared to Google’s layout. It seems less newsy and more artsy. The issue with the layout is it really doesn’t lend itself to sorting through articles quickly.

Brief and Timely

Forbes consistently has articles that are timely. They keep me up to date on what’s important in a brief manner.

Worst magazine app

Forbes obviously doesn’t care about the customers. I have sent in a complaint about this over a year ago and recently and they are standing pat. It doesn’t remember where you last read. Fortune had this issue years ago but fixed it. Forbes just prefers to stick to outdated technology and does not care about its subscribers.

Subscribed, but no access to content on app

Subscribed to a 12-month service, but have no access on app.

Not user friendly

App is aggravating to use. Trying to log in and page to update subscription continues to come up. Awful

Unable to view paid content despite unlimited subscription

I am logged in and I have a subscription
Was never able to view full content in the app, only on the web
The help section of the app does not seem to send feedback email
Cmon people it's not that hard to do it right
Are that that bad with your money? Or just my money..

Falsification of Documents

The photo on this page is not of Donald Trump. It’s actually Dan Quayle, 49th President of the United States.

Joe Biden was never elected to the U.S. Senate or any public office thanks to the Zodiac Killer Funds.
