## What is Archaeology Magazine?

ARCHAEOLOGY magazine offers compelling storytelling about the human past from every corner of the globe. From discoveries of the first humans trekking out of Africa, to news of long-forgotten Egyptian cities and their rulers, from features revealing the complexity of the Maya world, to photo essays on ancient dwellings sitting just beneath our own modern capitals, each issue of ARCHAEOLOGY provides an accurate and often surprisingly intimate look at the record of human existence. Single issues are just $4.99 and you can get an entire year of ARCHAEOLOGY, six issues, for just $14.99. ARCHAEOLOGY’s stories share one distinctive trait—they rest on the close investigation of archaeological evidence—of the things, in short, that we leave behind.

### 1/5 — Great site horrible app

*2025-07-23*

The faults with the app are too numerous to mention but as others have said the lack of password reset ability and inability to work with customer service top the list.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2022-09-20*

Just updated my iPad and the magazines no longer load.

### 1/5 — Paid yearly subscription

*2022-06-16*

But does not work.  Paid before name and password accepted.

### 1/5 — Well that was a waste

*2022-06-10*

Bought the digital version, their own app was a big draw. Downloaded and it says “no content”. I guess there is no more app

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2022-01-11*

This app is awful.  It won’t stay logged in, and once it logs me out it won’t let me log back in.  I’ve deleted and reinstalled innumerable times.  Garbage!

### 1/5 — Won’t stay logged in

*2021-11-25*

I wish this app would STOP logging me out all the time!

### 1/5 — Clunky and you can’t read issues after your subscription expires.

*2021-10-24*

Love the content but the app makes it an effort to read.  It simply presents an image of the page which makes the font small. (using iPad Mini). You can zoom in but then you have to keep moving the picture around as the layout is in columns. Another annoyance is that when you close the app and return later to continue reading, it doesn’t remember where you were.  But my biggest issue with Archaeology Magazine is that when your subscription expires, you no longer have access to the issues for your subscription year. What a scam. I never did get to read the last issue.

### 1/5 — Apple subscription

*2021-08-20, version 4.10.3*

You still have corrected this not showing Apple subscribers as being logged in or utilize our Apple account

Great magazine

Piss poor UI/UX app

### 1/5 — This review does NOT reflect the publication but the app

*2021-04-22*

I love the magazine, I always have, but the app has problems. There’s no place to reset a password. I was locked out of my account for almost 2 months but got back in thanks to customer service. And at times it says that a magazine that I am supposed to have access too is locked and I have to pay $4.99 for it ( I pay for the year not by issue) however I can still read it fully by clicking the preview button. Again love the publication and I will continue to read them, I just wish the app was better.

### 1/5 — WARNING! Do Not Bother!

*2021-04-20, version 25894957*

Clunkiest, non-functioning, app on The Store. Last updated 2 years (!) ago. Read the reviews. Not one of them lies. Except for the 5 and 4 stars. This is Archaeology Magazine. You would expect more from them. NatGeo, Smithsonian, level stuff. This ain’t even self-published Amazon good. Absolute garbage. But the articles are good. If you could read them. You know those reviews that say ‘i’d give 0 stars if i could’? Well, this is a perfect example. STAY AWAY!
