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! ### 1/5 — Bug *2020-05-18* The app freezes and crashes since the update from 4 weeks ago. Do something..! ### 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! ### 1/5 — Feel so cheated *2014-01-25* The sample issue is interactive which is cool. The one I bought is NOT! Wish I'd bought the paper version as the price is the same. Total rip off and I'd like my money back so I can get the real copy in sainsburys ### 1/5 — App will not open *2013-01-01* Cannot open to purchase magazines, and the link to report a problem just drops you in a commercial website with no further instructions. Poor job, Pocketmags. ### 1/5 — It doesn't work. Don't buy it *2012-12-04* I also bought a subscription and I couldn't download any issue. I only can see the sample one. When is this Issue going To be fixed? ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2012-11-10* Do not buy this app under any circumstances. It simply does not function. I purchased a subscription and still can't download issue #1. It does freeze, crash, and display errors very well, though. And support is non-responsive. Don't buy it unless you hate yourself. ### 4/5 — Unstable *2012-12-10* Just appalling. The app is so unstable it must be damaging the publishers of what looks like a great magazine. Yes, looks like - I can't say for certain as I am yet to lay my eyes on a copy due to the constant crashing. A familiar problem with Pocketmags apps it seems. Come on people, get it sorted. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 👍👍 ### 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! ### 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! ### 5/5 — Smash Hits grew up! *2016-06-02* This magazine is fantastic. Great interviews and features from 80s stars and also current music. Pieces are well-researched and knowledgeable. A joy to read and works great as an app. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Magazine *2015-09-07, version 4.9.73* A must have for all 80s fans! ### 5/5 — Great Magazine for 80s music lovers *2015-07-30* Discovered the paper magazine at hmv in London, loved it to buy a back issue bundle and soon a subscription. Great interviews, reviews, etc. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2014-05-03* Wonderful magazine by a group of passionate fans of 80's music. If you love 80's new wave and pop, this magazine is an absolute must for you. As for technical problems noted by previous reviews, I have had zero problems. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
