It’s easier to keep track of my favourite topics. ### 4/5 — Chatelaine *2018-08-04, version 7.0* I have had lots of problems accessing this magazine. I think I have activated two subscription. They are month by month because I don’t have confidence that I will receive them. I feel I should stop the digital subscription and just pick the magazine up on the news stand when I want. The digital subscription is just too much hassle. I have subscribed to Chatelaine for about 40 years, by the way. ### 4/5 — Good app *2015-12-02, version 5.7* I have my Chatelaine on my iPad. I love that I can scroll through the article and avoid the ads. I also love having the full frame pictures with all the digital extras. ### 2/5 — Not user friendly *2015-08-16, version 5.7* Not very user friendly when in the app to close one subscription and get to the next one. Way way too many 2 page ads between articles. If you're wanting people to use on a tablet, reduce those ads! ### 1/5 — No french version *2015-06-03, version 5.7* Pas de version en français , décevants , lors de l'achat d'un abonnement en français ont nous suggère de téléchargé l'application pour avoir une version électronique avant de les recevoirs par la poste ### 2/5 — Really disappointed *2015-01-21, version 5.6* I've had a digital subscription for nearly a year with no problems. For some reason February's edition is not visible in the store or available to download in the library and I am getting NO support through iTunes or Rogers. I feel like I've been ripped off and no one cares to even address it. ### 1/5 — This is infuriating *2015-01-10, version 5.6* I have the print subscription for the year and have already reinstalled the app twice with no success. It allows me to make an account and sign in as a subscriber, but will not allow me to access my first months issue for free. It asks if I want to subscribe or sign in, I sign in and nothing changes, it just says I'm Sinead in and the issue is $4.95. I give up. What a waste. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2015-01-07* Wouldn't update to reflect the subscription I bought. Followed all of the web site instructions. iTunes recognizes my subscription ownership but the app does not. ### 1/5 — Does not recognize subscription *2015-01-02, version 5.6* I've purchased a subscriptions and it shows in iTunes but does not appear in app. Tried reinstalling 3 times. Terrible experience. ### 1/5 — Pas gratuit *2014-11-12, version 5.6* Premièrement en anglais 😠 et enfin première revue gratuite après on sort le porte-monnaie. Eh on dit gratuit.. Éjecter sera le bon choix ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Cannot access digital subscription *2023-03-18, version 7.3* I used to receive Chatelaine days before it was available in stores. I have repeatedly asked for my subscription number to access the digital copy. I have never received a response. I would cancel my subscription but there is no way to do this. I am paying for something I do not receive. Very poor administration reflects badly on the magazine. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2018-08-12, version 7.0* Unable to access current and previous subscription issues since last update a few weeks ago. Lackluster customer service and no target resolution date. Have been a print and then digital subscriber for over 20 years. Will not renew in the future. ### 1/5 — App isn't working *2017-07-15, version 6.1* Yeah, the app doesn't work. Unfortunate. Hope there's a fix soon. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2017-01-27, version 6.1* I can't restore purchases, nor can I read the magazine. I've never had issues reading it with the old one but now can't download the magazine. I have cancelled my subscription. ### 1/5 — Can't log in *2016-11-22* I am a subscriber to the magazine and keep getting a error message when I try to log in! ### 1/5 — Can't log in *2016-10-07* I keep getting this error message when I try to access the subscription required articles: "There was a problem contacting the server. Please try again later." I've tried several times over the last week and still can't log in. ### 1/5 — App not working *2016-08-26, version 6.1* Since the last update, the app is not opening. Please fix it asap. Thanks ### 1/5 — Fix it! *2016-08-10, version 6.0* I log in and instant crash. ### 1/5 — Crashes! *2016-07-26, version 6.0* Every time I try to log in the app crashes. Tried deleting the app and restarting but that didn't fix the issue. ### 1/5 — So mediocre *2015-10-22, version 5.7* This could have been so different, so much better. What happened? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2021-12-14* What a great magazine for adult women who want to support local entrepreneurs, help the environment, stay healthy, cook amazing food and support other women. ### 5/5 — Great food! *2019-02-03, version 7.1* It would be great to have a search option in the app. Absolutely love the recipes from Chatelaine! I’ve never made something that I didn’t like. ### 5/5 — Great magazine *2018-10-22, version 7.1* Best Canadian magazine backed by excellent website. ### 5/5 — Access to in app purchases *2018-10-10, version 7.1* I have been making in app purchases since 2015. I wasn’t able to restore my purchases earlier this year after the latest app update. To cut it short I find customer service is wanting and no one within this company seem ready and able to find a quick solution to the problem. Buyer beware. ### 5/5 — No access to my PAID subscription or my library since last July 2018 update *2018-08-23, version 7.0* Rogers Media/Chateline Magazine I have not been able to access my subscription or my library since your last update. Would you please advise your subscribers as to what is going on and what can be done to fix this. I've tried deleting the old app and downloading the new one and it won't let me. I have been subscribing for years through iTunes and it feels like you've stolen my magazines from me. This is unacceptable. There's not even any information available on who to contact to have this fixed. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Where are the article found in my email? *2018-08-21, version 7.0* We use to be able to read the article that was featured in my daily email in this app but I can no longer find them. This is a pity. ### 5/5 — Can't access since last update. *2018-08-07, version 7.0* I updated app & now can't access any magazines. Only lets you sign in with subscriber number & then says incorrect login or number. I contacted Chatelaine & did what they said, didn't work. Very disappointed. Been a subscriber since the 1960s. Tried on 3 different devices. ### 5/5 — Great for reading on transit *2015-02-17, version 5.6* I'm finally catching up on my Chatelaine reading, awesome to read while in the subway. ### 5/5 — Chatelaine on my iPhone! *2014-11-10, version 5.6* Finally! I am so happy Chatelaine finally made the move to creating an iPhone app for their magazine. Love the videos, love the behind-the-scenes look at the photo shoot, it's easy to use, and I love that I have it everywhere I go! Thank you Chatelaine! ### 5/5 — Great magazine and app *2014-09-01* I am from the US not sure how I found this magazine, so glad I did. Great content fun extras and a great value. Recipes, decorating ideas are fresh and interesting. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
