### 1/5 — Alternative Press Is absolutely Horrible

*2018-10-11, version 7.2.2*

The app is awful, i had stopped getting my monthly mobile subscription for some reason. I still haven’t gotten my Twenty One Pilots Hard Magazine yet. They said that they would ship the My Chem Magazine on the 5th of October, still not in my hands. I get my rock sound Magazines before the Alternative Press and rock sound is in the UK. They always ship late. I once had to wait for my order for 2 months cause it kept getting delayed. I feel like it all went down hill ever since they changed it up. I had payed $20 for a two year subscription of a hard copy of magazines. Then they changed everything, they switched my subscription to Electronic, so my $20 went down the Freaking drain. Over all, do not ever get a subscription or buy anything from them ever! I repeat, ever!

**Developer response:** Hello—please email digital@altpress.com and we'll see what the issue is and try to help. There's a separate department fr print issues, but we'll start here. Thank you!

### 4/5 — I like the app

*2018-02-23, version 7.1.59*

I like the app and am a big fan of AP. I do gotta day tho I prefer the old app a little more tho.

**Developer response:** We're always trying to make things better. Email digital@altpress.com with any suggestions. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Still Great Mag

*2018-01-22, version 7.1.4*

Customer support says they are emailing out the codes for previous subscribers soon. Can’t wait!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-04-26, version 6.1.1*

If I could rate zero stars I would. The app feels like it was written by a kid whose been programming for two months. Magazines aren't optimized and the app is clunky. Worst of all, the magazines don't even download. At all. I paid for a subscription but I might as well have paid for air. Absolutely unacceptable.

### 4/5 — Great but one little thing....

*2016-03-11, version 6.1*

I love this app and I love supporting companies that support music so 5 stars as far as that goes, but one thing that I find irritating is that I have to click "source" at the bottom of an article to be directed to the page that the video is on. While this isn't a "problem" I would get so much more out of the app and I highly think you should consider embedding the videos in the articles for the app if that's possible. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Never worked

*2015-04-24, version 5.2*

I have a iPhone 6+ and I was never able to open this 'magazine' properly. It would open to a black page - or perhaps to the top or bottom of a page. When I tried to move from one page to the next, the pages would flutter & go black. The most obvious clue as to the complete dysfunction of this app is that it crashed my iPhone EVERY time I opened the app. I have asked for a full refund from Apple with no response from them. I tried to cancel my subscription, but all I could do was to stop it from charging me again next year. I have erased this 'magazine' from my iPhone because I was afraid of the damage it might be doing as it continually crashed my phone upon opening it. I would like to think that the developer will see this & arrange my refund. I will be as persistent as their app was dysfunctional - & that's saying a lot - I won't stop until I get my money back!

### 5/5 — Skeleton clique

*2014-10-03, version 5.1.8*

Anything with Josh and Tyler's face on it is a five star let alone the awesomeness of them being on the cover

### 5/5 — 👍

*2014-07-05, version 5.1.2*

AP is a awesome app it talks about some of my favorite bands like Pierce The Veil, Black Veil Brides, Of Mice And Men and Sleeping With Sirens it caters to every thing I expected in the magazine!!! I would recommend it to anyone !!!!!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-10-25, version 4.3*

Everyone should get this app it gets u up to date with everything

### 5/5 — Brilliant AP!

*2013-02-22, version 4.0.1*

As much as I enjoy physical copies vs digital, this iPad subscription is way more enjoyable than the physical. Worth every penny!
