I can now only access the magazines from previous subscriptions (same membership number). I have tried to resolve through the help desk but nothing seems to have happened. It’s a real shame because being able to read on mobile was great. I’ve spent way more time deleting, downloading, logging back in, emailing and phoning, than seems reasonable for a fun magazine subscription. ### 1/5 — Less interesting offer *2024-12-06* Offer with supplements as modern rustic was a good deal, but without any explanation , these supplements are not included anymore , too bad 👎🏻 ### 5/5 — Login in *2024-09-12* Every time I log in I have to start again with me customer number and email not sure is this is right? ### 5/5 — Love my country living App *2024-04-17* So surprised to read negative reviews. I have this app on my iPad and have never had an issue downloading. Much prefer to have on my iPad rather than paper version as I have it with me all the time can zoom in and out of pictures to really see specific items can screenshot items and save to my scrapbook for inspiration on projects. Share articles with friends. Love the addition of free downloads on certain extra magazines as part of my subscription. One criticism is that it doesn’t stay downloaded on my iPad any more so i have to download each time I open the App and if I’m out and about or travelling I can’t access without Wi-fi. If this is a bug fix please fix it I didn’t always have this problem. ### 1/5 — Do not buy into this app! *2024-01-23* I have numerous previous magazines on this app and now cannot access them even though I have paid for them. In order to now see them I must always have to pay to access them! This is garbage and I will no longer buy into any iTunes or Apple app! Thieves! One extremely unhappy previous customer. 😡 ### 1/5 — Very awkward interface with the app *2023-11-05* Just had to shift from the kindle version of the digital magazine to the app made by the magazine itself. Baffling that it is this awkward to use when kindle already made a digital interface that is perfect for iPads. Why change it? Downward swipe to go through articles and then right left swipe to turn pages, doesn’t seem to save the page you were on, doesn’t show pictures or blurbs for the articles in the table of contents so it’s hard to navigate. Really unfortunate. All the hearst apps are terrible in this way. Content remains amazing but the app is shockingly bad for the price of the year subscription. Shame on you. Go work on your interface. ### 3/5 — What happened to zoom? *2023-10-04* Can not zoom in anymore and turning pages back brings you to a black and white list that you have to try and figure out where you were. What is going on? ### 1/5 — SO SAD *2023-08-25* I can no longer can access issues I have already paid for. WHY! I will not consider paying for this service again if not corrected. ### 5/5 — Country Living vintage *2023-07-14* This is a pleasure to read from page till the end. A beautiful magazine. ### 1/5 — SO SAD *2023-06-25* I can no longer can access issues I have already paid for. WHY! I will not consider paying for this service again if not corrected. ## Frequently asked questions about Country Living UK ### What does the Country Living UK app offer?
