Waste of space keeps crashing or won’t load
What more can one say? This is what I paid £90 for.
App is not opening
The latest version is not opening on the last update of the iPhone
Surprisingly OK
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.
Inspirational
So much to read!
Annual Subscription not recognised.
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......

Tried to make this work
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.
Im shocked how bad this is
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.
No easy to contact them. And Cancelling
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.

Terrible!!!
There is no way to cancel this service! Total scam.
Bugs bugs bugs
Rarely opens correctly. Useless.
I just want to read the mag!
Constantly messing up and requiring a reinstall. Embarrassingly poor app.
Нет доступа к журналу
Оплатил подписку но доступа к журналу нет. Поддержка твердит одно и то же, без результата.
Disgraceful
I am fuming about this as they advertised access for just £1, supposedly to help us all out during Covid-19, but do not make it clear that they will then charge you the full price after 3 months. It’s disgraceful, with no obvious way to cancel access from within the app or via the website. I cannot recommend, especially given the appalling quality of half the photos in the magazine and the pretentiousness of the copy. Furious!

Ask to pay on top of subscription
During the difficult times of the pandemic, the publishers have been providing so called ‘free’ digital issues to print subscribers in lieu of printed copies. You are told to create an account, and use this app to access the issues. However, after repeated attempts, the app will not accept my username and password. Advice from support was to ‘register’ my email and reset my password. I have done this several times. I can access my account details online, so the accounts works, but not the content of this app. I could read the copies if I pay the cover price on top of my subscription, but I refuse to do this. Judging by some other reviews, this refusal to accept login details is a common issue. Beware of this app, and paying for a subscription - at least at the moment.

Unstable
The content is great but the app keeps crashing and constantly needs reinstalling.
It also needs a function that allows you to remove downloaded issues.

Visually pleasing, with issues
Visually excellent with first class content, and the interface is basic but fine.
Issues:
1) Most pages cannot be zoomed in. This is a problem for a photography magazine as sometimes we want to see detail, especially on smaller devices.
2) When exiting the app and returning, you return to the beginning not where you left off.
3) There doesn't seem to be a way to delete old editions to free space.
3) I've noticed that when a few editions have been downloaded the app crashes, scrambling the iPad pro's search screen and affecting the keyboard. This has happened twice and it seems it's the app.
These points aside, the content is excellent and the app, thus, recommended.
EDIT: have had to reduce the rating as this app crashes often - it doesn’t open, you have to reinstall it for it function, then it occurs again a few days later. It appears unstable. What a shame.

Disappointed
Great magazine but terrible app. Keeps crashing and fails to recognise me as a subscriber.
Landscape format images do not display acceptably
Unfortunately, the iPad app can neither rotate nor zoom images. This means that landscape images have to be viewed in ‘segments’ dragging from page to page. Mark Power’s images in the April 2019 edition are pretty much unviewable. Disappointing.
Read terms before subscribing
The iPad and iPhone editions are completely separate subscriptions. Paying for one will get you nowhere on the other. Consider your reading habits before you choose.
WTF???
I bought a whole year digital subscription and the fking app always said my username and password is invalid.
