### 2/5 — Glitchy Ap but figured out how to work it

*2024-05-02*

I know a lot of people are having the same problem but i figured out how to get around the log in issue. First you have to log out in the normal drop down, then click the magazine which will pull up the purchase options and will show a log in option there. Use that log in option, and it will open the magazine fully for you. If you use the normal drop down, it will not work. You also will have to redo this if you try to read it later on and it stops working.

### 1/5 — Over priced

*2023-10-06*

Have a print subscription but requires an additional subscription to use the app. Will be deleting the app and canceling my print subscriptions.

### 1/5 — Jank

*2023-08-01*

Have a subscription and can’t log in. Jank

### 1/5 — Can’t read digital magazines

*2023-07-05*

This app along with online attempts to read the digital version of their magazine is absolutely frustrating and terrible.  Their customer service via email takes about 2 weeks for a reply, only to give you a link to instructions to their website which have already failed.   Their app never gives you the full version of the magazine.  Only a a short preview whereby it asks you if you want to purchase the issue(s).  Restoring purchases fails.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2021-01-08*

Not sure if it’s working awesome because I added it for free to my annual subscription of the print magazine or not but I’ve had zero issues. Love it. 🍻

### 1/5 — Online Subscription Does NOT work

*2020-05-11*

As a longtime subscriber (well over 20 years) I was excited to be able to read my beloved Bowhunter Magazine from my iPad while on a plane or on the road away from home.  Well that's never going to happen with this app.  To even try and read the magazine you are locked out and expected to pay ridiculous amounts for each article, let alone the entire magazine.
Editors, you need to get this taken care of or you will lose an entire younger generation who don't like paper magazines and who want to read from their phones, and/or tablets.

### 1/5 — Bow hunter is a scam

*2020-04-28*

Don’t download this is a scam!!!!

### 1/5 — Cannot connect to server

*2020-01-04*

Cannot login . It keeps saying trouble connecting to server

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2019-11-21*

Having to pinch the screen to zoom in and out to read the articles makes it difficult to read the articles. Waste of 10 dollars!!! Giving it 1 star because I have too

### 1/5 — App won’t log on

*2019-02-23*

Downloaded app on 2/22/19 and keep getting trouble with server.
Won’t log on
