### 3/5 — Lack of capacity to change to paper

*2023-11-14, version 6.0.6*

Hi, I contacted the office to ask to modify the membership, which was innocently and unknowingly Digital. I was told that it would be about 2025 before I could start having paper and books as part of the membership. In year flexibility to change would be appreciated, and surely is not impossible. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Just joined before lockdown

*2020-07-17, version 5.6.4*

How do u find a site on iPhone ????

### 3/5 — Dire

*2018-05-23, version 3.0.1*

Just awful. 
One star because you can’t review without. The printed magazine was never great, put the content on a slow awkward App and I can’t see why anyone would bother.

### 3/5 — Ok, but lacking features

*2018-04-07, version 3.0.1*

This app can only be used to read the monthly newsletter/ magazine. 

It would be far better if you could search for campsites!

### 3/5 — Cannot view in Landscape

*2016-08-21, version 3.0*

Although it's good to use when I forget my to take my magazine. It is very frustrating not being able to have it work in Landscape on the iPad. One of the reasons to have the iPad is the freedoms to pick and choose how to read things.... Please update this and I can give you 5 stars

### 1/5 — Not Happy

*2015-05-19, version 1.1.0*

I am a member of the club and pay for my magazine online. Why do I have to pay again to get the magazine? Hardly lives up to the reputation of The Friendly club, more like the money grabbing club

### 1/5 — Not Impressed at all

*2015-01-24, version 1.1.0*

Offered a deduction in membership fees for digital edition membership. yes I can read this on-line via a website while connected to the Internet but for an extra 1pence per year I will have a paper copy thank you very much.  Very disappointed, they say it's expensive to publish in the App. I have magazine subscriptions in the Newsstand for another hobby of mine and that is free... And this is not a corporation that provides it, it's free, no membership nothing..Yes Free. A few ads but has plenty of valuable information. but fewer revenue streams than CCC..

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2014-12-30, version 1.1.0*

Already receive this magazine through full membership, why are members being charged for a digital off-line version!!!

### 1/5 — Appalling

*2014-12-19, version 1.1.0*

One of the worst apps I have come across.  Impossible to book.  When you insert details it throws you out every time.  Will not use until it is corrected

### 1/5 — Not impressed you want a further £5 off me

*2014-10-14, version 1.0.0*

I thought this would make it easier to read the magazine but I am not paying more money for the privilege.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2025-04-14, version 6.1.3*

Not user friendly

### 1/5 — “We could not find your details”

*2020-09-20, version 5.6.4*

Won’t let me sign in. 
“We could not find your details” is the message received, even though the same details work on the website. 
No reply from “support’ either. Shame...
Still no reply

### 1/5 — Landscape please

*2019-03-05, version 4.0*

After a few years putting up with the old app forcing portrait view I was hopeful when the new app showed up. But sadly disappointed again.

I feel like a savage having to turn my iPad round to view the content this is the only app that forces this view and I use a number of magazine apps

PLEASE GIVE US THE OPTION TO VIEW IN LANDSCAPE

### 1/5 — Pretty Dreadful

*2019-01-19, version 3.1*

You really need to sort this out. Trying to scroll down the page is like wading through treacle, it constantly becomes unresponsive, navigation disappears. Poorly spec’d, shoddily developed, untested. iPhone 7plus.

### 1/5 — Very Shoddy Product

*2016-12-01, version 3.0*

The app is worthless in this current format. The user is frequently unable to sign in (server unavailable, try later) and even if you do eventually get in the magazine in this format is so user unfriendly as to be useless. In its old format the app was quite good and more important could be used. This is just rubbish and deprives non paper members of their magazine. Time to think again C&CC, as it is don't bother switching to a paperless membership if you like a club magazine, you don't get one with this horrible app.

### 1/5 — Oh dear

*2016-10-26, version 3.0*

It wont even let me download the magazine now. Just tells me it's not available. Pretty hopeless I'm afraid.

### 1/5 — Update has rendered the app useless

*2016-09-02, version 3.0*

Every article I go into shows as 'Article not available'. Have tried signing in and out and reinstalling. Makes the app pointless.

### 1/5 — Not very user friendly

*2016-07-09, version 3.0*

Not a good app for easy reading. I use my iPad in landscape mode for viewing reading all apps. It is not possible to do that with this app. Very dis'app'ointed!! I'll stick with the paper version of the magazine, thank you.

### 1/5 — How pointless

*2016-03-22, version 2.0.3*

Pay for a magazine I can get online for free, as a club member?  Not likely, the magazine is rubbish anyway

### 1/5 — Bit of a con

*2016-03-06, version 2.0.3*

Be aware, even when you pay membership for online access to the magazine it does not include the copy in the app?  For that they want another subscription on top of the annual membership. Avoid.

### 5/5 — Ian T

*2024-02-23, version 6.1.2*

Always packed with interesting ideas and information. Thoroughly enjoyable.

### 5/5 — Veryan

*2023-07-24, version 6.0.6*

Just visited veyan for the 3rd time lovely site well spaced out amenities first class ideal site for visiting and walking the roseland peninsula we were welcomed by a new member of host Christine Mitchell absolutely wonderful welcome in the pouring rain she checked on us and was there when we checked out . Hopefully her  and husband Neil will have a site next season as we will be there

### 5/5 — Have lot of bother logging on

*2020-06-27, version 5.6.4*

Even tried web site just locks up

### 5/5 — New member

*2020-06-26, version 5.6.4*

We have joined the club earlier this year., just before the lockdown started. Obviously all our plans went out the window, but reading the monthly magazine has kept us positive and now looking forward to getting out the tent. Roll on the opening of the sites.

### 5/5 — Nicely thought out App

*2019-07-30, version 4.0.1*

Works well, good way to read my magazine.

### 5/5 — Excellent product

*2018-01-12, version 3.0.1*

This magazine app edition is very easy to use and the recent changes have vastly improved the usability and the fact that it is free for members is another bonus. The content is excellent and I look forward to reading each new edition.

### 5/5 — Very Impressed!

*2014-08-22, version 1.0.0*

I know there are a lot of these so called, 'iPad editions' out there, which are just the printed pages uploaded to an app. But these editions are an example on how a printed magazine should be translated into an interactive device while still maintaining its identity and writing style. Looking forward to the next issues and congratulations to the Club, keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — At last !!

*2014-07-20, version 1.0.0*

Really good job - takes what is already a good magazine and enhances with lovely images and direct links !!!   Thank you CCC

### 4/5 — Wish you where in the USA

*2024-03-14*

I downloaded the app to add more camping apps to my phone.  I didn’t realize it was only the UK for the app.  

From what I read this club is needed in the USA. 

I tent camp or Jeep camp depending on season and location.

### 4/5 — Not quite a substitute for paper magazine

*2016-12-28, version 3.0*

Vastly improved of late and perfectly readable which it never used to be. A lot of the content and classified ads from the paper edition seem to be missing, but links take you to a main website.
