## What is Beecraft Magazine?

Welcome to the Beecraft Magazine Digital Edition. We hope you enjoy the magazine in this new and exciting format. Despite being one of the World's longest running beekeeping magazines we are keen to modernise and keep offering you, the readers, the best and most informed beekeeping news and information.

In 1919 Kent Beekeepers launched "Bee Craft" as a county beekeeping journal and by 1928 thirteen Associations had joined, keen to distribute news and information about their own beekeeping exploits. Today there are 49 Local Associations in the UK that have shareholdings in Beecraft Ltd and it has, in practice, been run as a non-profit making organisation for the benefit of the member associations.

Therefore we hope you enjoy this format of the magazine and continue to support Beecraft as it positions itself as the informed voice of British Beekeeping.

### 1/5 — Needs some TLC

*2018-12-03*

Issues get corrupted after download. I have to delete and download again any time I want to read. Annoying.  An update correcting this would be appreciated.

### 1/5 — Lost previous issues

*2016-08-20, version 14.1*

I'm not usually one to complain but my subscription has just renewed automatically, which is fine, but the past year's issues are no longer available to me unless I pay for them again!  No response has been received from the Beecraft team and I am totally disenchanted with the whole thing. To add insult to injury, I see that the on-line price is almost £2 less than I have just paid!! Wish I'd subscribed to the paper version now. Needless to say I do not recommend using this app.

### 1/5 — Avoid

*2015-04-11, version 13.11*

These people know about bees but  not about publishing or customer service. Being a digital subscriber means suffering a world of pain and hassle.  Last time I contacted them about a problem they just blamed apple and said it wasn't their problem. I regret purchasing this and will opt for a printed version instead. Now they have put the price up which triggered Apple to disable auto-renew. Even though we have renewed our subscription and switched on auto-renew, we have now lost all our previously downloaded magazines under our last subscription. We can't access anything.

### 1/5 — Bum app

*2015-03-29*

Downloaded app, no icon on iPhone however it shows up in my update file...???

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2014-08-16, version 9.1*

This worked initially and then started crashing regularly. Now i can't even load it up, so i have no access to all of the editions i have supposedly purchased this year so far.

Great magazine but a hopeless online version which really lets Beecraft down badly .... I am now seriously considering cancelling my subscription.

### 4/5 — Good value

*2014-03-20, version 9.1*

Was crashing, but deleted and reinstalled. Seems ok, and remembered previous purchases.

### 1/5 — crashing

*2013-12-22, version 9.1*

Can't open it. Keeps crashing

### 1/5 — Crash

*2013-08-31, version 8.0*

Love the app when it works, crashes immediately after opening every time.

### 5/5 — Great read

*2013-04-28, version 7.10*

Very informative read and good value at £16.99 for year subscription or £1.99 an issue.
