## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — New look rubbish

*2017-12-19*

Why do you need to log in every time sort it out or I’m cancelling the subscription

### 1/5 — Was great, but now NOT!

*2017-10-25*

Before the update this app was great but since the update it not good.

- You have to login every time you want to download the latest issue

- The pages do not fit the iPad screen. You have to scroll up and down

- The last issue I downloaded was missing at least one page

etc etc

And, The news feed is just rubbish, get rid of it!!!

I am now considering stopping my subscription!

### 1/5 — IT'S NOT FREE

*2016-04-24*

Only free to download the app, it's NOT free once downloaded! Misleading.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2012-12-22, version 1.1*

This is how publishers are trying to fleece readers via the store, same price yet you'll get no freebies that come with the magazine, that's actually you get the mag at all, Christmas Issue not in the library at all and when emailed no reply received or explanation, rubbish service for a high priced product. Wish I had not subscribed !!!

### 3/5 — Good, BUT...........

*2014-08-25*

### 5/5 — Amateur Gardening

*2012-11-03*

A terrific clear, concise, colourful and informative app.  I have been a subscriber for over 4 years now and enjoy my weekly fix of gardening news and would be lost without it.  This is all new technology to me having been given a iPad as an early Christmas present and this app is so easy to get around.  I highly recommend it.  Keep up those funny comments Tim and Toby!
