### 1/5 — Has stopped working & now unable to sign into my account.

*2026-06-24, version 7.1.141*

About a month ago I couldn’t view the latest copy of the Mag and it was asking me to pay for individual copies despite having a subscription. I tried logging out and back in again (it has worked in the past) and I got an error message and for the last month I have been unable to log in to my account. I contacted the publisher who informed me that there is a ‘technical issue’ and it will be fixed shortly. I’m not sure what their version of ‘shortly’ is because a month later it still isn’t fixed. I love the Mag and have been a reader for years but the app is rubbish.

### 5/5 — Essential Rock

*2026-06-23, version 7.1.141*

The only serious magazine for rock fans these days. Comprehensive coverage of all aspects of rock.

### 5/5 — The Best RocknRollMag

*2026-05-28, version 7.1.141*

The only RocknRoll magazine that I love to read

### 5/5 — Appreciation

*2026-05-02, version 7.1.141*

Like articles on mana old and new music group.

### 5/5 — Great Mag. Online subscription is the way to go.

*2026-04-30, version 7.1.141*

I subscribed after realising that I could save loads of money going digital and I’ll never look back. The app alerts me whenever there’s a new issue and it’s a quarter of the price of print. Everything runs beautifully with the app - I would like to know more about the bands featured on the CD that come with the printed versions. Hopefully there’s Spotify lists ai don’t know about. Other than that, it’s great all round.

### 5/5 — Great Magazine!!!

*2026-04-30, version 7.1.141*

Been a reader since the beginning and have never, ever been disappointed in the least.  The customer service is exceptional as well.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-09-01, version 7.1.141*

This is the best classic rock magazine available. It includes some great journalists and photographers and  covers a wide range of rock music.
Classic rock may be seen as a dying scene but this mag flies the flag brilliantly and proves this isn’t the case.
The Ozzy tribute copy was a triumph.

### 1/5 — Started charging me again…

*2024-06-03, version 7.1.1*

Four months after I paid the yearly subscription they charged me again for individual magazines. I’m still waiting for a reply from my email.

### 1/5 — Great app if it would work

*2022-09-21, version 6.4*

No matter what I do, including three help requests, it won’t allow me the new issues even though I have a year subscription.

Delete app.
Restore.
Nothing changes.

Had bought through magazines inc originally, now bought directly through apple and and now no one seems able to comprehend basic 2022 technology.

Still waiting to read the past two months new issues I paid for and don’t have access to.

### 4/5 — Love you but where are my issues?

*2021-12-29, version 6.0.16*

Great magazine. I used to buy the print version for years here in the US and stopped (?) but then got an iPad and saw you were eventually available. Have had subscription before and no problem. This go round I paid for a yearly subscription and have only received up to September. Please fix this 
PS also subscribed to Mojo and Uncut on the same day and didn’t have any problems with them.
