### 1/5 — Yet to be able to download an issue

*2026-04-08*

In March I paid for a 13 issue subscription through Magshop but have yet to be able to download an issue due to what I have been advised is a technical issue, which is also being experienced by others. Although this is extremely annoying and until it is resolved a waste of money, at least, at my request, Magshop have cancelled any on going auto renewal and have also given me theoretical access to an extra issue at the end of my current subscription. Not great compensation if the current situation cannot be resolved.  A full refund of the current subscription would have been more satisfactory.

### 1/5 — When it works

*2025-11-30, version 8.0*

When it works on the iPad, it is a great app but been unable to view app on my iPad for some months now. Not acceptable will not resubscribe next year.

### 1/5 — App won’t open.

*2025-11-20, version 8.0*

Just like all recent reviews, since the recent update the app won’t open & keeps glitching back to my home screen. I had multiple BH&G editions saved. Now, I can’t even open the app, let alone read any! Please fix!

### 1/5 — Subscription lost

*2025-10-31, version 8.0*

The app would not open for the last couple of months at least. I deleted it then re-installed and now it opens, but my iPad didn’t save my password so I can’t log in to access my subscription. There is no option to reset the password. I would not subscribe again.

### 1/5 — Bad update

*2025-09-06, version 8.0*

I can’t even open the app since the update on the 22nd August, all my magazines sitting there and no access. Please fix ASAP.

### 1/5 — App issue

*2025-09-05, version 8.0*

Not able to open app even though subscription is current

### 1/5 — worst app/worst service

*2024-05-08, version 7.1*

Like everyone else here, ALL bought magazines have disappeared and NO ONE responds to repeated requests for help. doesn’t even rate a one star review

### 1/5 — Can’t download

*2024-04-14, version 7.1*

Cannot register my magshop subscription ie do not get the three bars etc that give that capacity 
Also having huge problem finding a nickname not already taken which is extremely annoying

### 1/5 — Same problems as years ago

*2023-11-14, version 6.0*

Why does this app still have the same download issue? Continuously logging users out who then can not log in. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2023-11-08*

Guess I’m not alone in this problem of not being able to access my subscription. It’s recently been renewed and I am not able to view anything but a black screen. I’ve never had any issues with this before and now after being a subscriber for many years I can’t see anything. I hope someone out there can resolve this issue for everyone.
