Doesn’t open dowloaded issues

You pay for premium, you download issues. The problem is that if you’re not on WiFi, downloading the issues is pointless because you can’t open the app. Thanks but no thanks.

Wine Producer loves Decanter !

As a wine producer I find Decanter both entertaining and informative . If you love Wine , You will too !

Why oh why

I am unable to login to the app which is incredibly frustrating as I’ve been a member for years

NOT Working

Suddenly this morning I cannot sign it to view content. I completed the login and password, then it does not sign me in and asked for the same information again. I cannot even cancel my subscription because I cannot sign it. Fix your sign in online!!!

It Working

Spend more time re installing the app recently than i do reading it!

This app has worked well for several years but has suddenly started to stop updating. The helpful technical team tell you to reinstall which doesn’t work and eventually correct it after several weeks. Last time Its worked for a few weeks and then stopped working again. 3 yrs ago this app was a nightmare and it looks like we’ve gone back to this very brand damaging behaviour!

Useless if offline

The content is great and it works fantastic if connected to the internet. They offer the ability to download the magazine but the app itself won’t work if offline so renders it useless. Please fix this. I posted this a year or so back and it’s still the same. You can download the magazine but if you are offline it doesn’t work. Can’t be that hard.

Log in frustrations

Near impossible to log in and stay logged in.

Regular reinstalling is a big pain on this great app

Love this Decanter Premium App but having to reinstall it every few weeks - often at inconvenient times is a pain. This glitch should have been fixed by now 🤨

Upset

I keep on having to sign in and then cannot get to the article. It just goes round and round

Worst app ever

Constantly having to re enter credentials and/or delete and reinstall app

Really poor app

Decanter Premium is not worth the price. The app is very glitchy on both iPhone and iPad.

Not good

First something changed with the login. I used to login with my decanter.com credentials and now I can’t. And there is no way to email support.

Second in 2021 I asked “I would love it if you had easy access to vintage reports or charts. As a shop owner it would be a tremendous asset.” as they are even a bit to discover on their website I subscribe too at the Premium Digital & Premium App Bundle. I got this reply: “
All magazine and exclusive Premium content can be found on the website and app. Is it anything in particular you are having trouble locating?”
I just asked for easy to find vintage reports!

I have no clue how to access my subscription via the app.

I love the content at Decanter but their digital efforts are messy and this app is the worst.

Still an awful app

Nothing has changed about this app in the years I’ve had a premium subscription and there is nothing premium about it. It does a basic job of letting you read an online magazine, so why do I have to regularly delete it and reinstall to be able to login?

Logging in

The site never recognises my membership so I reset my password and it still doesn’t pick-up the new one and so I don’t have access. Really frustrating bearing in mind the membership cost.

Can’t login on app

Not possible to login on app if you haven’t purchased the subscription through the App Store.

Giant scam apparently

I bought a yearly subscription and now it’s telling me I don’t have an account

Can’t access it

I bought this app and it looks great, but it asks me to sign in. After I sign in, I try to access some content and it asks me to sign in again, so I am stuck in an endless loop.

My complaint to the help line told me I need to pay a subscription but I already paid £19 for the app. Doesn’t seem right and if it is right, then it is a swindle.

Locked out

Can’t log in even after restarting password. Shame

Significant deficiencies

App kicks you off after a period of time which is fine but when you try to log back in, at least in my case, I get a reply that my address is not an account. The work around is to delete the app and download it again. Pathetic to have to pay for this.

Content is excellent however.
