### 2/5 — Needs work

*2026-04-27, version 1.22.1*

Constantly having issues with subscription verification.

### 5/5 — My heart

*2025-07-29*

Always been a GV fan -individual stories help me so much

### 1/5 — No native ipad version

*2025-04-28*

I’m legally blind but can read with an iPad if I can enlarge print or zoom in. On an iPad this app takes up the space on the screen in landscape the size of a phone so it is not friendly for the visually impaired. Also the price of a digital subscription is nuts considering the lack of polish and features on the app. I pay less for amazing apps that do a lot more. What really kills it for me is the lack of native iPad version.

### 3/5 — Wonderful App - but iPad version needed

*2025-04-17*

I love the Grapevine app. It’s come a long way. The digital magazine looks great on iPhone, however a native iPad version is needed. That’s where I was hoping to utilize the app. I was disappointed to find that only the iPhone app was available.

### 1/5 — Do Not Waist Your Money

*2025-01-28*

For the past 5 years I have had to write the customer service, which by the way are excellent to reset my password. Service will work for a couple weeks but then, nothing. Keep getting messages wrong credentials. Write again, reset another 2 weeks, same thing. This has happened several times. They tell me to use a certain browser , which I do and clear my cache, which I do. I will not be renewing again.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2024-12-05*

This is the most buggy app I have ever used. It’s hard being a grapevine rep in a group and recommending this app. Constantly says I’m not subscribed (which I am) then I hit subscribe and it says I’m already subscribed. The restore option never works. FIX THIS APP!

**Developer response:** I am so sorry to hear you are having this issue. What happens when you hit the account icon in the upper left? Does it not allow you to simply sign in? And finally, have you reached out to Customer Service about this?

### 1/5 — Cannot Access Current Grapevine

*2024-11-16*

I purchased this app last month in lieu of a print version.  I’m very disappointed in this app. When you click on read current issue all that comes up is a picture of the cover and nothing.  Very disappointed.
I will be requesting a full refund.

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue!  Might it be that you are not logged in? When you are looking at the cover, click "home" on the lower left. Then click the icon in upper left to make sure you are logged in.
Let me know if this helps! If you are already logged in, you will see the article playlist below the cover; just scroll down.

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2024-09-10, version 1.9.0*

I downloaded the app and paid for my subscription. I couldn’t access my account and emailed customer service 3 times and never received a response.

### 2/5 — Tired of this not working

*2024-05-25*

Twice in the past week the app has told me I need to subscribe, when I have already subscribed. The first time it did this I emailed Grapevine and after a couple of days they got back to me—by then it was working again after I had uninstalled it then reinstalled it. Now it’s doing it again and I’m done. I don’t feel like having to uninstall and reinstall again and again and again. This app is a good idea but I’m not paying anymore for it and will be deleting it. Please work out the bugs already!

**Developer response:** Hello,
We are so sorry to hear about this. Have you tried again? We have been working on this issue. You should not have to uninstall and reinstall; please try the "restore subscription" button. Please let us know.

### 1/5 — Tech trouble

*2024-02-29, version 1.4.1*

I’m having the same issue as other reviewers. I have a receipt from Apple confirming my subscription but I can’t sign in. I’ve contacted aagrapevine customer service to no avail. 
It’s an aggravation. I regret subscribing.
