It stalled halfway through restoring my purchases and then crashed altogether. All I can get now is a blank white screen. **Developer response:** Thanks for getting in touch with us, I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble accessing your issues. Please can you email our support team at appsupport@immediate.co.uk with some further details of the device you're using and we shall investigate further. ### 1/5 — FreeJuly issue offer - scam *2021-08-01* Downloaded the app to try the free issue only to receive a message to say offer no longer available AFTER I had registered. It’s 21:35 on 1st August and the offer doesn’t end until 2nd August … so how come it’s not available ### 1/5 — From erratic behavior to dreadful excerpt version of magazine *2018-10-06* The app had become increasingly buggy when displaying magazines so the last update seemed promising but the publishers have switched to a very dull document version of the articles. With almost zero formatting they seem to resemble an editors article proofs. They would make very poor web article pages. All new to editions use this format with all the attractiveness and style of the magazine layout lost. I’ll keep the app to be able to get access to my previous editions but please PLEASE return to the magazine format and layout. **Developer response:** Hi Pawpoise, We are sorry to ;earn that you don't like the new format. We carried out a lot of user testing before making this change and we feel that this solution offers the best reading experience for customers across all of the different screen sizes on Apple devices.

Not impressed at all. **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear about this problem, we are looking into it. You should be able to regain access to the issue by restoring your purchases in the main menu. ### 1/5 — Mike *2018-09-07* Having had all sorts of problems with this app, I recently purchased a twelve month subscription and also paid to have all previous issues. Why am I having to sign into my Itunes account every time I want to read a magazine? Please sort this out! Also the September issue and the previous free magazine don’t download as a magazine but as individual articles. I am beginning to regret taking out a new subscription and buying all the previous magazines **Developer response:** We are very sorry that you are having problems. Please contact us using the in-app support form. One of our dedicated customer support team will get back to you within 48 hours and work with you until we reach a satisfactory resolution. As our customer you are highly valued and we want you to have the best experience we can offer. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-08-19* I preferred the magazine style of the previous version and so I will move across the zinio. **Developer response:** We are very sorry that you do not like the new format. We carried out a lot of user testing before making this change and we feel that this solution offers the best reading experience for customers across all of the different screen sizes on Apple devices.

Being able to view on line enables me to take this with me anywhere. ### 4/5 — Fab read *2018-01-05* Great app and first class content. I really like the stunning photography included in the magazine. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2017-07-20* This is absolute rubbish. Yet again a magazine app has taken my money but refuses to supply the magazines. I signed up for a subscription for the Countryfile magazine and all I get is a long download that eventually abandons all pretence at delivery and just sends me back to the iPad home page. Deleting the app and reinstalling made no difference. Another load of money thieved. ### 4/5 — Excellent mag for nature lovers *2017-07-02* Some lovely surprise articles, an abiding love of our countryside and wildlife conservation running as a theme throughout. A very enjoyable read. ## Frequently asked questions about BBC Countryfile Magazine ### What kind of content does BBC Countryfile Magazine offer?
