Don't waste your time. *2014-09-28* Like the magazine; too bad not digital. Had old app; it stopped working and could not download my purchased issues. Downloaded new app and bought subscription for 1 year. Won't download current issue. Crashes. Reinstalled 3 times. Crashes. Got iTunes invoice; $4.99 for app in addition to subscription. Huh? Not that it works anyway. Btw, I have the new iPad OS. ### 1/5 — Worst iPad e-Mag I subscribe to!!! *2014-08-27* As the title states, worst e-mag (if that's the right term) I subscribe to! Issues are hard to get, pages are in proper order so reading articles is a chore and no-investment or implementation of STANDARD interactive features found in most iPad publications! Don't waste your money! I will not renew my subscription! ### 1/5 — iPad version does not work! *2014-05-23* As another recent reviewer indicated, new issues are only available on iPhone. Much too small to read! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-05-10* Can't get new issues on ipad only on iPhone ### 1/5 — Too frustrating *2014-05-06* Endless trouble trying to get current issues. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t open on my iPad *2026-03-26* The latest version does not work on my iPad although it is supported on my iPad. ### 1/5 — Crashes on opening *2026-03-17* Crashes on opening ### 1/5 — Deja Vu *2024-10-14* The app just keeps shutting down, they should have gone with Zinio to deliver there magazine as this problem plagues Pocketmags. Update from me September 2018, everthing works great now, fast and easy to load, flip pages, jump around and zoom in. Well here it is 2024 and its back to inability to download mags. What is the matter with this company? I will just get it at the library and cancel my subscription. ### 1/5 — Takes your money and gives you download errors. *2020-07-05* Horrible UE and riddled with download bugs when you try to buy issues. ### 1/5 — Poor App *2020-06-13* Downloaded app subscribed to digital magazine ... cant download current issue... just errors ... disappointed and now out $20 ### 1/5 — Very poor App *2019-12-27* Paying and no service... ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and bad customer support *2019-10-31* I bought a subscription but cannot access the digital version. It’s now been 18 days and I’m still not getting what I paid for. They can not resolve it and will not do anything. Will have to contact visa. ### 1/5 — Fixed *2018-09-17* The app just keeps shutting down, they should have gone with Zinio to deliver there magazine as this problem plagues Pocketmags. Update from me September 2018, everthing works great now, fast and easy to load, flip pages, jump around and zoom in. ### 1/5 — Crashes instantly *2014-10-02* Magazine crashes instantly when trying to open. Have re-installed several times. Will be trying to get a refund. ### 1/5 — Frustration *2014-09-28* Constant crashing on iPad. Can't install current issue. I have just started to subscribe to this magazine but unless things change I will be cancelling! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App is garbage won’t recognize subscription - do not use *2021-11-11* I bought the cottagelife subscription right in the app. But it won’t recognize that I paid for it. Can’t open any magazine issues as it shows I still need to buy a subscription. The paid subscription shows in my iPad under settings/subscriptions. The Restore Purchases feature fails and doesn’t work. The contact support feature doesn’t work. This app is total garbage and will just steal your money. ### 5/5 — Absolutely love the DIY projects! *2020-04-07* I get so much inspiration for DIY projects to help me recreate the classic farmhouse aesthetic in my city apartment, helping me relive that homey feeling I remember from visiting my grandparents’ farm as a child:). ### 5/5 — 😍 *2016-11-28* I love being able to look up articles when I'm at home and my print copies are at the lake. ### 5/5 — Cottage life *2016-07-14* What a great read. Just as good as the print version! ### 4/5 — Exciting Life *2024-07-03* Love the articles regarding the lake life and looking forward to more charming stories. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
