### 1/5 — Beautiful mag, terrible app

*2018-05-29, version 4.9.88*

Crashes on every second page. Manages to open back up on the page it crashed on which is better than some others but that doesn’t make up for the annoyance of the crashes.

### 1/5 — Sticky

*2015-01-27*

Don't download this thing you can't delete. It spy on your phone.

### 1/5 — Add for a magazine

*2013-07-19*

This is an add, not an app.

### 1/5 — Poor updates

*2013-07-07, version 4.9.10*

The magazines that I received were good but then the updates stopped. Don't waste your money

### 1/5 — Don't Bother!!

*2013-03-10*

Advertised as a free app, then brings you directly to site demanding payment. Won't allow you to see any content.
