Cannot download issues. Please update. Subscription bought and paid for, but cannot access the magazine. When working, this is a great magazine that is more than just converted pages. Interactive, videos, etc. More than the print version. ### 4/5 — Nice, standard ipad magazine app *2014-06-08* It's much like many other good ipad magazine apps. But it's well put together. And the content is lovely on the iPad's screen. ### 3/5 — Digital & print subscriptions *2014-03-30* Here we are needing to have separate subscriptions for print and digital. Is that a good business model? C'mon AG - you know it's the way forward. ### 3/5 — Double bought *2014-01-21* We've been print subscribers for many years and would like to have the same option as Nat Geo offers to their readers. Digital as well as print for loyalty. ### 4/5 — Looking good. *2014-01-08, version 1.1.0* A solid conversion from print to digi. The images look fantastic. ### 5/5 — Quality stuff! *2013-07-20* Thoughtful interactivity - which makes the magazine an even better experience on ipad. ### 4/5 — Outstanding. *2013-07-07, version 1.0.0* Visually stunning, informative, great variety and easy to use. Will use in my classroom. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Customer support didn’t even know app existed *2025-12-18* This app is a total disaster - avoid! I’m a print subscriber, yet was unable to login with my details. Hilariously, when I called customer service to help, they didn’t even know this app existed and were eager to jump onto the next call! Luckily I have a print subscription, if I’d paid money for a digital only subscription I’d be livid. ### 1/5 — The app crashes as soon as it opens :(. *2024-07-08* Upsetting as I live overseas. ### 1/5 — You don’t exist *2024-06-29* I have paid for a years digital subscription,but can’t access via this app. My account does not exist,though PayPal has paid up Difficult web site to navigate to find digital only subscription I would have given up only I am pig headed Think carefully before signing up Content pretty good if you can find it ### 1/5 — Can’t read offline *2024-05-17* Can’t read offline useless ### 1/5 — A really poor user experience *2021-05-13* One of the worst apps we have used in terms of its usability and stability. Search function was offline for a month...my wife’s app has crashed four times and all offline content lost. The articles layout is hard to follow. The advertising content as a proportion of the actual content way too high. Very, very poor. tried to discuss with Australian Geographic and gave up after being on hold for 20 minutes ### 1/5 — Stuff This *2019-03-27* Won’t reload any issues. This new update is more of step down than a step. FIX YOUR APP ### 1/5 — "Free Trial" that you have to pay for? *2016-03-16* How can you offer a "free trial" for 30 days that is only given after you buy a subscription??? That's not a free trial. I've never seen either the print or digital version and would like to see one first. A 30 minute free trial would be enough. All that downloaded was a cover photo and more requests for money. And how do you give a 30 day free trial on a magazine that comes out every two months? Confusing. Please clarify the description. Better still, give a genuine free trial. ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2014-09-29* This is the second time I have subscribed to this mag on my Ipad and it keeps crashing really peeved, last time my subscription was just canceled no refund no nothing no way to contact the makers for help.... Seems that if I want to read this fab mag I have to download the preview only.... Please fix it AG.... ### 3/5 — Was once Impressive *2016-11-12* I really used to like the app for the magazine, but now all you get is a PDF version of the magazine. Really quite a backward step and very disappointing. ### 3/5 — Weird app *2016-03-20, version 1.0.23* Good magazine, weird app. The description says that 1yr costs $39.99 but when you run the app it asks for $19.99 for a year. So which is it?? Here it says you get a free trial "at the time of purchase" but doesn't say whether you get a full refund if you 'cancel' or whether billing is delayed for 30 days or what???? And in the app it says you get a free issue. So which is it - a free trial or an extra free issue?? The funny thing is that when I went looking for a copy to check out I then found that I could get a free digital copy every month through the local library anyway. So you lost me. Good mag. Dumb app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thelly *2017-07-18* Have been subscribing since first copy, great read and beautiful photos. ### 5/5 — Always interesting *2017-05-06* I subscribed to AG for many years as a hard copy reader but the magazines were taking up too much space. Now I get the same great magazine digitally and it takes no more space than my iPad. Great app, great magazine, great value for money. ### 5/5 — Great mate! *2017-05-02* AG has always been a favourite of mine. I just wish it came out more often. Excellent read! ### 5/5 — One of my favourites *2017-01-04* I have read every issue ever published. One of my favourite magazines. ### 5/5 — Love this magazine *2015-03-28* Wonderful images and videos! I love reading the article and learning more about Australia and the surrounding area. Top notch work done by all for sure :) Thank you xo ### 5/5 — Scroll and swipe your way through the best of Aus Geo every month. *2013-09-20* The ultimate multimedia experience. The photos are brighter and bigger. The content expands and collapses at will. I won't be going back to the print version anytime soon. ### 5/5 — Great mag even better electronic *2013-08-26, version 1.0.0* Fantastic mag and done really well on IPAD. ### 5/5 — Amazing online translation of Aus Geo *2013-08-07* The iPad edition of this impressive magazine has the right balance of interaction, stunning photos and engaging stories. Unlike many online editions of popular mags it is also easy to navigate. I can't wait for the next issue already! ### 5/5 — Love this *2013-07-23* The content is easy to read, informative and interesting. The photographs are beautiful. I will use this in my classroom also. ### 5/5 — Informative *2013-07-21* Lots of variety, great photography. Would like articles to be a bit longer, some are only a page or two. Embedded video and links to other web sites are great way to provide additional information. But if the articles aren't deep enough then the app becomes just another web site. Look forward to forthcoming editions. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
