### 1/5 — Led astray

*2012-10-13*

Says free you install and then it asks for money or down load free sample, which is nothing but 2 pages, am I paying for 2 pages?  The free sample example makes me leery.  Magazine also says free download, but you download it and when you go to newsstand the issues are all 4.99, but hey there's a free sample and it's a cover, a table of contents page and a letter from the editor.  Again how do I base my decisions on these lame free samples.

### 1/5 — A Waste of Money

*2012-07-31*

Not worth $4.99. The layout is poor for IPad and it is short on content. Does not make me want to go to the website or their mags for more.

### 1/5 — not good enough

*2012-04-02, version 1.0*

have had to load this 4 times so far and don't really have the time for this. would be good other than this but sadly I wont be bothering with this again. waste of money

### 1/5 — Not worth the download

*2012-03-20*

It is simply a viewer app, like ibooks or newsstand. Why did they create a new app when one can just download an ebook?

### 1/5 — Call Apple for refund

*2025-09-26*

Disappointed. I deleted the app. Call Apple if you paid and want your refund.

### 1/5 — Blank stare

*2019-02-24*

To the vendor, I’m not sure what’s up with the app but everytime I open it I have a blank screen with only a settings icon in the top right but even this icon leads nowhere. The only thing it says in faded text ‘.....issues with ipad’.

### 1/5 — DON’T BUY THIS!!! - Quit working

*2018-09-20*

Purchased this a while back, wanted to revisit it. Will not open. Deleted it. And I used too really love it. What a shame. And from the looks of Version History & other reviews, the developers appear to be long gone. Guess you don’t get to keep your purchase? 😡

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2015-05-03*

I bought both issues a while ago, and they used to work fine. Now, I cannot open any of the issues, including the free sample. If I had bought paper copies, I'd still be able to look at them. I'm done wasting money on electronic reading material!!!!

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2015-01-03*

I have the same problem as other people, you cannot open the lessons/books. I have asked for a refund and have gotten no reply. If this is the way the App Store does business I would advise everyone to not purchase any in app purchases. They are quick to take your money but ignore you if you have a problem you want fixed or a refund...

### 1/5 — GS

*2014-11-30, version 1.1.1*

Keeps crashing.  Avoid at all costs.  I'd like my money back too.

### 1/5 — Big Question

*2014-11-22, version 1.1.1*

This app is not good in any way! I paid for this app and it worked fine the first time but now it has stopped loading. It tells me to reload it but won't reload and says to try again. How do I get my money back?? Very unhappy and can't finish the art project I had started with this app. 
Don't buy this app you will be disappointed.

### 1/5 — Sample only

*2014-07-07*

This is only a two page sample. The actual magazines are $8 each.

### 1/5 — Downloading

*2013-05-01*

I bought Volume 1 for the iPad and it won't even download

### 1/5 — Better have high speed

*2013-04-09*

I'm on my fourth attempt at downloading.  Don't cancel or pause or you start all over.  Haven't gotten to content yet.  Really frustrating to download the magazine once you get the app.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2014-04-21*

Love this magazine.  Easy to follow instructions and a great way to learn about new products.  I have bought some of the products showed here and they have now become a staple part of my art supplies.  Highly recommend this mag.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2012-10-02*

Great app

### 5/5 — Great magazine

*2012-10-01*

I like this journal

### 5/5 — Lots of ideas & Inspirtation!

*2012-07-18*

Love this App/magazine!!! Much more affordable than print Art Journaling periodicals and loaded with interactive techniques, ideas and inspiration. Used one of the video tutorials to transform an old road map into a summer pocket journal...so fun! Love having it all so accessible on my iPad. Looking forward to volume 2 while I continue to enjoy volume 1.

### 5/5 — creativity rules!

*2012-03-17, version 1.0*

Art Journaling is just so good for you... and this app is a gateway into the most amazing artistic and creative endeavour... love!

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2012-09-02*

About app

### 3/5 — Interesting

*2015-11-07, version 1.0.6*

Im very into art journaling, and this app gives everyone a bit of something different under this umbrella. My only criticism is that with vol 2 it seems you don't know whats in it until you buy it. Theres no preview. I like this mag, and the way it's presented:)

### 3/5 — Foo

*2012-09-25*

Bad

### 2/5 — Journaling

*2014-12-29*

I rated a two.  I purchased the journaling 1 and have yet been able to view it.  Every time I try to view content it tells me it is unable to load and to restart.  No matter how many restarts it has yet to work.  I just wasted $8 bucks.  Please fix this or give me back the $8 dollars.
