### 5/5 — Golden era

*2024-08-18*

I go back to the 80s , the golden era when I read ,, I go back to the teens age with 50s mind 👍👍

### 1/5 — Worst experience of any app I have ever used

*2021-03-28*

The entire digital experience of this magazine and application is not pathetic. They have no clue how to create a rich and rewarding digital experience. It’s so frustrating. I’m not sure who runs this company, but they have no idea about managing customer satisfaction. They say they have a MacBook desktop experience - joke and embarrassing - and the phone/iPad version is poor at best. 

I guess that I’ll have to stick to buying the hard copy because digital is a complete joke!

### 5/5 — Future reflections from the past

*2020-09-22*

Every issue is jammed packed with amazing content that takes you down memory lane. At the same time firmly reminding you that you cannot live in the past, because that group you followed in your youth has evolved and grown with the times. Absolutely wonderful, cheers.

### 5/5 — 80s Brit Pop Mag

*2020-08-01*

Entertaining magazine that focuses on British pop from the 80s. This was the music of my teenage years and it’s fun to read about the artists pop life then and now. Very well done. Informative editorial content and beautiful photography. A labor of love (I hope) for those involved and very much appreciated!

### 5/5 — No stalgia

*2020-07-16*

I normally hate to live in the past. But this magazine balances the affection for old with the heart beating  for the future.  Where else can you find out what you should be hearing now as well as what you ought listen to again? Even pictures of those of a certain age are strangely a breath of fresh air.  The writing is smart and the articles are never boring even if you hated the band being discussed. Excellent.  Yes, NOstalgia

### 5/5 — Love this magazine.

*2020-07-08*

I so look forward to my monthly dose of 80’s pop music!
Reminds me of the days of buying and reading Smash Hits and No. 1. Keep it coming!

### 1/5 — Новая версия не работает

*2020-05-17*

Всё было отлично до обновления приложения в этом году. Не могу получить доступ к приобретённым выпускам.

### 1/5 — Latest Version is not working

*2020-05-05, version 6.9.93*

The app is freezing on the ‚buy‘ button and thats it. You can’t read old issues nor buying the new issue. Please bug fix again...

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS 13

*2019-09-27*

Fails to recognise I have an iTunes subscription and demands I pay again!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-10-24*

Superb mag- I hope it lasts unlike iDJ and several other amazing mags that unfortunately went out of business. This one is very informative and quite comprehensive indeed. Expertly written too!
