## What is British Journal of Photography?

The world’s oldest photography magazine is now available on the iPad and iPhone.

Each monthly issue for iPad includes stunning pictures, insightful interviews with award-winning professionals, special reports and in-depth reviews of the latest technology.

Read it first on the weekly iPhone editions, which include a selection of articles from that month's edition, in a format designed to be easy to read on the iPhone and published ahead of the printed magazine.

Two types of subscription are available:

iPad subscriptions include the monthly iPad edition, plus all weekly iPhone editions. 

iPhone-only subscriptions include only the iPhone editions, for a lower price. 


About British Journal of Photography:

Founded in 1854 to record the scientific development of a fledgling medium, these days BJP takes an international perspective on contemporary photography, focusing on fine art and documentary, and the cutting edge of editorial and commercial practices.

Each monthly edition (in print and iPad) focuses on a theme, including regular subjects such as Portraits, Education, Journeys and Community, and more esoteric ones such as Habitat or Small Town Inertia. We publish an annual review, Cool & Noteworthy, and an annual talent edition, Ones To Watch. 

Each issue includes in-depth features and interviews. We seek out new talent to showcase in our Projects section, and in our Intelligence section we give you briefings and opinion on the latest thinking about the medium and how to make it work as a business.  

For more than 160 years, British Journal of Photography has been inspiring people all over the world with incredible stories and images and with our iOS editions it has never been easier to stay in the know.

### 1/5 — Waste of space keeps crashing or won’t load

*2023-08-24, version 2.3.2*

What more can one say? This is what I paid £90 for.

### 1/5 — App is not opening

*2023-02-13, version 2.3.2*

The latest version is not opening on the last update of the iPhone

### 4/5 — Surprisingly OK

*2021-09-13, version 2.3.2*

I'm a print BJP subscriber so I don't use the app much.  But I found I wanted to look at the two 2020 issues which didn't appear in print and ... it's surprisingly OK!  I'd rather look at photographs on paper, but the iPad experience is mostly fine.

### 5/5 — Inspirational

*2021-09-06*

So much to read!

### 2/5 — Annual Subscription not recognised.

*2021-03-16, version 2.3.2*

I have a new issue as of January with both iPad and iPhone apps now not recognising a subscription which runs to August 2021.
Neither Apple nor BJP/1854 Media accept any responsibility.
I wouldn’t buy a subscription again......

### 1/5 — Tried to make this work

*2021-03-03, version 2.3.2*

I have had annual subscription for several years. Recently, despite the subscription, I have somehow downloaded Jan/Feb and was charged for it. I have had issues like this before. Also, the pagination does not flow. It is not the most intuitive App.

### 1/5 — Im shocked how bad this is

*2021-01-27*

It’s 2021 and I’m shocked to see such a badly designed app these days. The website is a mess and there you need to read a pdf to login?? Are you serious?? Speechless.

### 1/5 — No easy to contact them. And Cancelling

*2020-11-25, version 2.3.2*

I not happy on how this company Operates. 
You pay for a subscription that I was happy to pay 
Then there told a payment for when was not a member and more. 
 ithat is when the problem start.  
Still waiting for refund.

### 1/5 — Terrible!!!

*2020-11-14*

### 1/5 — Bugs bugs bugs

*2020-08-29, version 2.3.2*
