### 1/5 — App crashes when opening

*2024-01-28*

I really like this magazine content although the iPad app has stopped working. It appears there haven’t been any updates for 3yrs. Anyone got any ideas to get it working again ?

### 1/5 — App crashes immediately

*2024-01-18*

Stopped working. Restarted phone. Deleted and reinstalled app. Deleted app, restarted phone, reinstalled app. Nothing works.

### 1/5 — Does not work on iOS 17

*2023-11-15*

Crashes when opening

### 1/5 — Great magazine, poor app!

*2023-09-28*

After update the app crashes as it starts to load. This must be the tenth time I cannot access the app. I wont be renewing next time and will be asking apple fr a refund.

### 5/5 — Perspective

*2022-12-25, version 3.5*

My opinion, as a novice, the app itself has delivered what was promised without issues and the quality of the works have been very good and easy to navigate which have been a important aspect to me.

### 2/5 — Great mag, but app desperately needs an update.

*2022-11-06*

The current app was updated for iOS 13 and needs a refresh.  It constantly locks up.  The magazine is great, but I won’t renew on this platform.

### 2/5 — Great mag but app remains very buggy

*2022-10-09*

Why is the app so rubbish, still? Some months I can login fine, others it refuses to recognise my email, customer or account number. Waste of time and money. Makes me realise why there are 3 issues for £5 offers to try and tempt me back. It did, but not again unless the app can be sorted out. It’s 2022 for f’s sake. The app has been around for ages, why hasn’t it been perfected yet?

### 5/5 — Great interactive Mag

*2021-12-31*

Love the content, and love the format.

### 1/5 — Subscription please

*2021-10-30*

Clicked ‘subscribe’ button and took me to a useless page.

### 4/5 — Better than the rest

*2021-10-06*

Really enjoy this magazine. It’s a class above the rest. Smart and collectable
