I was wondering how I cancel my subscription from this app and all the Cosmopolitan magazines, I'm trying to but it's not letting me. Thanks ### 1/5 — POOR *2015-02-05, version 4.0.36* App won't download latest issue. ### 1/5 — Won't even download an issue *2015-02-04* Purchased a subscription via iTunes on my iPod two weeks ago. It doesn't translate to my iPad, and won't download even download any issues on either devices. Waste of money. I should have stuck with the print edition. ### 1/5 — BOOO 😢 *2015-02-03, version 4.0.36* NEEDS MEGA UPDATE i have the american cosmo also and its brill but the uk is kinda crap. Have had to delete and download twice and still no new mag!!! And im on subscription. ONLY coz its easier for me than to go to the shops as i work shift work grrrr ### 1/5 — Was good before update on ios8 *2014-10-01, version 4.0.22* Now I can't read any of the issues I've bought. I've deleted the app and installed it numerous times but still not working. So I've just wasted money on buying issues I've not read, thanks! ### 1/5 — Was great, but... *2014-09-29, version 4.0.22* Constantly crashing with iOS 8, I can't download any issues without it telling me to reset the app. I deleted the app, re-downloaded it and still keeps doing the same! ### 3/5 — Good app but needs updating for ISO8!! *2014-09-28* This app worked great until the new ISO8 update - PLEASE UPDATE THE APP! It's really annoying as I have a subscription but cannot read any of my downloads or download the new issue! It's a shame as I've never had an issue with it before and when it's working it's great! ### 1/5 — iOS 8 incompatible *2014-09-26, version 4.0.22* Unable to download magazines since iOS 8 update. Even after reinstalling app and restoring back issues. Bit annoying that I'm paying for a subscription yet I can't view the magazines!! ### 1/5 — Crashes since IOS8 update *2014-09-20, version 4.0.22* Recently updated to IOS8 on iPad, my magazine issues disappeared. Kept crashing when I tried to download them. Tried reinstalling app again & re downloading, but still crashing. Please sort this issue asap! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2014-09-20, version 4.0.22* Waste of money doesn't load even after following instructions to delete app and reinstall numerous times ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-09-19, version 4.0.22* Downloaded new operating system for my iPad and now it doesn't download ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Struggle to read. *2021-01-08* I have just subscribed and it has taken a week to be able to log on. Now I have only been able to read a few pages and cannot access the full magazine. I’ve written to ask for help but not really got anywhere. ### 1/5 — Always late!!! *2020-12-16* Next issues are always late ### 1/5 — No new issue *2018-02-15* I’ve been waiting for the march 2018 issue to be available on the app but its still not there even though the printed one has been available since February 2nd. ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2017-05-14* Normally great, but totally useless at the moment, as the app just crashes within moments of trying to read an issue. This means I'm currently paying a subscription on something I can't even read, needs sorting asap. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2017-04-22* Just keeps crashing. It's currently unusable. Hearst have not been able to help. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Ms *2017-04-02* Usually 5* all the way for price, content, quality, ease of access. But March 2017 just keeps crashing!! Never had the problem before with iOS so don't think it's that. All previous issues download without issue. Uninstalled ap, removed issues from iPad... No luck, March issue just unusable... And now April too grrrr ### 1/5 — Sam16489 is right *2016-12-05, version 6.0* I agree, the previous version of the app was much better. This is is like someone lazily and clumsily scanned a hard copy of magazine and uploaded it ### 1/5 — Horrible *2016-11-15* It used to be a good app and then they took away access to most of their old issues, even if you had paid for them. Now the app is horrible. ### 1/5 — Not the same as magazine *2016-11-12, version 6.0* The pages you can't scroll down on are blurry, you can't zoom in on to read bits. The articles you need to scroll down on, just doesn't have same feel as magazine or previous version of app. I shall no longer be purchasing. ### 1/5 — 구입목록 삭제해주세요 ~ *2016-08-21* 구입목록 삭제해주세요 ~ ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Unable to reset password *2017-01-28, version 6.0* Very disappointed that I'm not able to recall or reset my password on the app. ### 5/5 — 구매 내역 삭제 부탁드립니다. *2016-05-02* 구매 내역 삭제 부탁드립니다. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2013-08-20* Идиоты, написано же, что это космо UK. Смысл британцам на русском писать? Все журналы платные, с какого космо должен быть бесплатным? Мне очень нравится. Во-первых, все на английском - я очень люблю этот язык и активно изучаю его. Во-вторых, очень интересно, что сейчас носят и о чем говорят в Соединенном Королевстве. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2013-05-15, version 3.0.5* This issue is SOOOOO slick...bought the June copy, a really intuitive interactive and fun experience. Love. ### 5/5 — Cosmo Uk *2013-04-12, version 3.0.5* ... ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2013-01-29* Have loved Cosmo for years but its annoying to carry with me. I download this at home then read it on the tube. Easy to use too. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2012-12-29, version 3.0.3* I love it,anybody that is saying is rubbish,is stupid!its a free app,of course it's not gonna be the best app in the world but it is good if you love cosmo. ### 5/5 — I LOVE COSMO! *2012-12-18, version 3.0.3* I love having my favourite monthly mag at my fingertips. Its great for my commute and so easy to read on a small screen. ### 5/5 — Cosmic *2012-12-18, version 3.0.3* Loved this app - easy to read and great fun. ### 5/5 — Awesome functionality. *2012-11-28* Truely enjoying this viewing experience.
