Country Waling

Excellent magazine , covering all aspects of walking in the countryside.

Useless

Won a 12month subscription with 02. Pass code accepted but can’t set up a password because security code doesn’t arrive after 7 attempts even using a different email. Customer service don’t even reply when asked for help.

Login is hopeless

Every time i log in i have to reset password, more trouble than it’s worth!

Terrible

Never works

App is rubbish, good magazine

Going round in circles trying to log in - had to re-set password, then keeps assuming i’m trying to log-out. Waste of time!

Search is hopeless

I need a new pair of walking trousers, feel there’s got to be a review in back issues/archives of trousers. Put in “walking trousers” and get a whole variety of things but nothing relating to walking trousers. Doesn’t seem to be very user friendly

Subscription payment doesn’t guarantee access

Be careful with these people. My wife bought me an annual subscription for my birthday as I had cancelled last year. Whatever I did app or website I could login but on accessing content I was asked to re subscribe for £54.99. Rang customer services and told it was a known problem with no timeframe for a fix.

App is useless

Downloaded app (iphone13) try to log in, keeps opening up in safari (which I rarely use but it forces it rather than my preferred browser (chrome), log in, doesn’t redirect back to app, go back to app and still not logged in. Stuck in a loop simply to log in to an app. It can’t be that hard to have log in on the app without the redirect surely?!? 1⭐️ until I can actually use the app!

How to activate a subscription

My wife purchased a subscription using some Tesco vouchers. I’ve followed the instructions in the confirmation email from Bauer Media regarding downloading the app and creating an account. However, the instructions then talk about using the customer number in the email to somehow activate the subscription. The app does not seem to indicate where to do this so currently we can’t access the subscriber content. I’ll write a proper review once I’m able to actually use the app but at the moment it’s more than a little frustrating that the instructions don’t match what’s in the app….

Thanks for nothing Tesco

Don't want to rate I know nothing about it yet but forced to give a rating to send this.Sooo 1 minus at least 3.

Absolutely awful performance in recent months. Magazines payed for can’t be viewed, and continually asks you to subscribe or log in.
Extremely poor user experience.
Doesn’t deserve one star.

An expensive subscription to preview magazines

Things worked well for a while but recently something has happened and despite having an active subscription I can only preview the magazines I have paid for.
Contacted support who haven’t been able to help.
Avoid and try physical media!

Total failure

I don't often write reviews but this one is must. I gave one star, but it should be below zero if possible. I have been reading CW for 5 years when I decided to change into digital subscription. For several months it worked pretty well. Until the very last upgrade. What a total failure. I did all the suggested moves, but my access is still not working. The app is constantly asking me to subscribe. I even don't have access to the issues which I PAID for!!! It recognises me as a user, it confirms the purchases are restored, I can see my bookmarks but that's it. I am not able to open a single one of my issues. It feels like they were stolen from me. So no, thank you but not any more. I have just cancelled my digital subscription.

No longer works

Thanks for changing it

Updated App Awful

The updated app which used to be clunky is not even useable now. I have the print + digital subscription, but stuck in and endless loop of being logged in, go to archive, click on a issue, to be told I need to subscribe, why? So I try and login, and the endless loop continues.

Why when I am logged in is the create account option even visible on the menu, seems to suggest that maybe I’m not logged in, but I am as there is a logout button.

This app has been out for ages too, but it still looks and feels like a beta version.

Great magazine but app slow and unresponsive.

Used to buy the hard copy magazine, so opted for this app since the start of the year. I’ve found it really slow and hard to navigate - it’s no fun waiting a few minutes for pages to load, if they even do!

It’s a shame because the magazine is great and I’m sure with more investment in the app it could be better. Still, on the bright side, my screen time will be down.

Loving the app and new rewards

Great app since it had been updated, can read the features so much better and love the audio feature so I can listen to the articles, special content picked by the editor and the rewards!!!

Love walking love the Mag

Excellent informative magazine about my favourite hobby.

False advertising

Purchased annual subscription as advertised you get access to the whole back catalogue only to find that you need to pay for all those back issues. Not impressed.

What does this app do?

I’m struggling to see the point if it. If anyone can enlighten please do!
