Leave a Review British Journal of Photography
Disgraceful
I am fuming about this as they advertised access for just £1, supposedly to help us all out during Covid-19, but do not make it clear that they will then charge you the full price after 3 months. It’s disgraceful, with no obvious way to cancel access from within the app or via the website. I cannot recommend, especially given the appalling quality of half the photos in the magazine and the pretentiousness of the copy. Furious!Show lessDaveButton
Unstable
The content is great but the app keeps crashing and constantly needs reinstalling.
It also needs a function that allows you to remove downloaded issues.Benjaminov
Visually pleasing, with issues
Visually excellent with first class content, and the interface is basic but fine.
Issues:
1) Most pages cannot be zoomed in. This is a problem for a photography magazine as sometimes we want to see detail, especially on smaller devices.
2) When exiting the app and returning, you return to the beginning not where you left off.
3) There doesn't seem to be a way to delete old editions to free space.
3) I've noticed that when a few editions have been downloaded the app crashes, scrambling the iPad pro's search screen and affecting the keyboard. This has happened twice and it seems it's the app.
These points aside, the content is excellent and the app, thus, recommended.
EDIT: have had to reduce the rating as this app crashes often - it doesn’t open, you have to reinstall it for it function, then it occurs again a few days later. It appears unstable. What a shame.Show lessRainier amino
Disappointed
Great magazine but terrible app. Keeps crashing and fails to recognise me as a subscriber.Go1pro
Landscape format images do not display acceptably
Unfortunately, the iPad app can neither rotate nor zoom images. This means that landscape images have to be viewed in ‘segments’ dragging from page to page. Mark Power’s images in the April 2019 edition are pretty much unviewable. Disappointing.UrbanSnap
Developer Response
Hello - thanks for your feedback on this. We're looking into the best way to show landscape images more effectively.Read terms before subscribing
The iPad and iPhone editions are completely separate subscriptions. Paying for one will get you nowhere on the other. Consider your reading habits before you choose.zatopa
I paid for a month subscription, but still have to pay for issues?
Pretty pointless? Don't really understand this misleading app. Just wanting to read the BJP on my iphone.scuzz56
Unreliable app
Four months after significant problems when I first bought an annual subscription, the app wants to charge me for each issue.
The support staff have been helpful and charming but the subscription part of the app is hugely unstable.
An app providing an online magazine subscription should be pretty straightforward these days, so this is very disappointing.Show lessJL1099
Subscription DOES NOT WORK, no support
I have an annual subscription, have had for some years. The app now wants me to pay for each issue. There is no support on the website.stratmanmk
Developer Response
Hello We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your subscription. If the app is currently showing prices on the issues, please open the Issues tab, tap the settings icon (a cog), then tap "Missing Issues?". This will prompt you to enter your Apple credentials, and re-synchronise your subscription with your iOS device. TomUnwanted and useless
After being given an unwanted subscription as a gift (magazine still in wrapper after delivery and will remain so and then go into recycling) I get an email offering me free digital edition. I think “oh well I will have a look at it online, even if it confirms what I think of the publication already.” But sadly after getting the app and logging in to it, it only offers paying options and no other option despite saying I have a subscription. Uninstalling shortly, wish I could bill for the wasted minutes of my life.Show less.#.rla.#.
