I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app several times but there is no improvement, considering switching back to paper version sadly ### 5/5 — Anthony Hamilton *2017-04-24, version 4.9.97* All I need for my weekly boxing fix. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-04-19, version 4.9.97* Awesome,quality way to keep update with Boxing News. ### 3/5 — It's okay *2016-10-09, version 4.9.97* Heart is in the right place but standard of writing, for several years, has been cliched and ordinary. The guest columns are best, and Bob Mee is always terrific. Christie is a welcomed improvement on Dixon. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2016-06-04, version 4.9.86* Excellent comprehensive weekly boxing news from around the world. Very well written and the content is always thorough. Highly recommended... ### 5/5 — For every boxing fan! *2015-12-26, version 4.9.86* From the bottom level to the top of boxing, it's all covered in here.

Do not download ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2017-06-23, version 4.9.97* Subscribed to this and cancelled. Every time I want to read something it kept asking me to pay for it again!! ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2015-04-12, version 4.9.75* As soon as you open the app it immediately crashes cannot get the app up for long enough to open a magazine. Needs improvement now. ### 1/5 — Good...when app works *2015-03-31, version 4.9.75* Great magazine, short but article are great especially when building up to fights... The app is the let down always crashing so can take a few days to actually read it ### 1/5 — What's gone wrong *2014-06-01, version 4.9.51* Used to be 4 stars but now does not display any issues so I can not purchase any, also my purchased items have disappeared from the library, what's gone wrong ? ### 1/5 — I Pad Only! *2013-08-20, version 4.9.26* Started off well, but last 2 issues for download has been marked as "IPad Only".

It fails on me 3/4 times every week trying to either download the latest issue or read it. Having to enter your iTunes password almost every time you go into the app is irritating. All in all, very disappointing considering that I pay a subscription. ### 1/5 — Shambles- like the plague....avoid it! *2012-09-15, version 4.2.4* Doesn't work, says there is a loading error.

Covers both current and past fighters, excellent! ### 5/5 — Fantastic publication *2020-05-04, version 6.0.6* A couple of years ago I wanted to find a boxing magazine to really help me get deep into the sport. After giving it a go I was amazed at the quality of BN. There’s a bit of everything in the magazine including current news and events, the inside scoop on whether fights are about to be announced(sometimes weeks ahead) and excellent historical pieces both from the very distant past to the not so long ago. The annual subscription itself is absolutely sensational value for money given the content you receive and the price paid. ### 5/5 — The best *2020-01-23* If you’re boxing fan, this is the place to read all the boxing news, been around since 1901. I love it !! ### 5/5 — Best Magazine *2018-11-21, version 6.0.3* I’ve been reading the Boxing News since the early 1980s. I never miss a magazine. If you enjoy boxing this is the magazine for you. If you like unbiased opinions then this is the magazine for you. If you want all the facts and data about upcoming fights then this is the magazine for you. Try it, you won’t regret it. Cheers mike hills ### 5/5 — Superb read *2018-10-03, version 6.0.3* Been reading BN since late 60s,and apart from the old ring magazine ,it’s second to none.
