First thing that caught my eye was article re: Great texting vs good sex. It’s not in there! No where to be found! Is this a bait and switch tactic??? ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2020-03-21, version 16.0* Nothing but problems trying to read this magazine on this app. So disappointed, I have sent 2 emails asking for help and have gotten zero responses. I think it’s time I get a refund and go back to paper copies ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2019-12-24, version 16.0* I used to love the articles and news feed but with each update the app gets worse and worse... not even worth it anymore... going to delete the app. They just want your money. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2019-12-08, version 16.0* The app actually let me used to read their news stories, now they don’t so the app is pretty much useless unless you’re a magazine subscriber. Deleted! ### 1/5 — Don’t like the new update *2019-11-20, version 16.0* I don't like how they took the news section away ! ### 1/5 — Loved it until the update *2019-11-19, version 16.0* I loved it until the new update got rid of the news section of the app😭 ### 2/5 — Needs to be more like the website *2019-06-21, version 13.0* Love cosmo magazines and website but the aesthetic of this app is awful. It just looks downright ugly, nothing like the easy user interface and cutting edge look of the website. Makes it difficult to endure. Not really worth a one star though, because the content itself is somewhat redeeming! ### 1/5 — Not as good as it used to be *2019-04-19, version 12.7* Cosmo magazine has become so boring. They’ve removed all the interesting sections, and there’s too many quizzes. I feel like I’m reading 17 magazine now. Time to find something new to read I guess. I’m so disappointed though. ### 1/5 — Nothing will load. Super annoying. *2019-03-28, version 12.7* 🙄 ### 1/5 — $5 for each issue *2019-02-22, version 12.6.1* I really don’t like how you have to pay $5 to view each past issue of cosmopolitan, even though we’re already paying a subscription fee each month, this is a total ripoff ### 1/5 — How to cancel *2019-02-12, version 12.6.1* How do you cancel you subscription?!?! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-03-08, version 25.0* The second article on this app is from 7 months ago. It’s awful and just careless. No one wants to pay money to log in to a website each time they want to view cosmo articles. They would be better off just not having an app. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-04-06, version 23.0* This magazine is all about advertisements from various companies. No helpful readable content . Every new issue has more and more ads and less and less content. ### 1/5 — Bad customer service *2022-01-14, version 23.0* They’ll take your money and then won’t help when the app doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Slow *2021-10-28, version 23.0* The app loads really slowly. ### 1/5 — Nope *2020-11-24, version 22.0* Pain in the butt to cancel. They make it as difficult as can be. Shouldn’t feel trapped in my subscription. ### 1/5 — App is useless!! *2020-10-14, version 22.0* It’s evident this company isn’t investing into their app. It’s complete garbage. Disappointing to see a company of this much history not keep up with the pace. You can’t read an e-magazine unless you pay twice, on the website and on the app!! Logic?? ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-08-12, version 22.0* Awful content, terrible articles. ### 1/5 — Scam *2020-07-12, version 19.0* This app is a scam. There’s no way to cancel your subscription. When I email them they say I can only cancel it through the app... when you try to cancel it through the app it tells you to email them. ### 1/5 — Do Not Waste Your Money *2020-03-25, version 17.1* As someone who has been a subscriber since December 2019, I am telling you - do not waste your money. I constantly have to reset my password because the app keeps locking me out, and certain issues have problems. The March 2020 Issue, for instance, is completely locked out for me. I cannot access it. This is very troubling. Please, save yourself the stress. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2020-03-22, version 17.1* I’m not enjoying Cosmopolitan Magazine. I brought a subscription hoping to see the magazine I loved, instead I don’t see it at all . I’m being billed monthly and can’t find a way to cancel. Help me find out what’s wrong or please just unsubscribe me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Old Fashion Gal *2026-01-16, version 26.0* Since I could remember, this has been the one go to for a paper boyfriend. The how too, the how don’t you dares ect. The steamy stories, propelled me to write at all. The Zane feel about the lustrous eyes staring across the lonely table for one , of a late night supper reading. I just love this MagRag and it feels right for me. Thanks to the MagCo ### 5/5 — Not user friendly *2024-01-05, version 23.0* This is the first time reading a magazine online and It’s as user friendly as I thought.is there a better way to read articles other than from the cosmo app? I have an iPhone. ### 5/5 — I have a few things *2023-07-24* I don’t think I have ### 5/5 — We can go to the *2023-07-24* I’m not going back in the ### 5/5 — Absolutely AMAZING! *2023-04-17, version 23.0* Whenever my local store has ran out of COSMO’s, I use the app! I never miss a month and I am always satisfied with my readings! 💕 ### 5/5 — Love this magazine!!!! *2020-12-22, version 23.0* I love, love, love this magazine, and I’m male. ### 5/5 — I was there, in the beginning *2020-05-06, version 18.0* It, cosmo was a liberating magazine long overdue! I was hooked from the state, but still at 63 it’s still my go to? Thanks ### 5/5 — U *2019-08-18, version 15.0* Ppl ### 5/5 — Love This App *2019-04-08, version 6.5.1* I grew up in a somewhat religious house, and magazines such as Seventeen and Cosmopolitan. I can't afford to buy Cosmo on a monthly basis, but I can take a peek and if there's something I like I'll go out and get it. ### 5/5 — The app never works. *2018-09-11, version 11.0* I can’t scroll thru the magazine, so I’m paying to see the cover page.
