Top 100 of the '00s'

We were only around for a little more than half of the naughts, so Decibel had to close the book on the last decade with authority. The most indispensable, skull-caving heavy albums from 2000-2009. Our first special issue, now out-of-print!

Don’t bother

Absolutely awful app won’t work on my iPad and even restoring all my purchases on my iPhone that still won’t come through.

Response from developer

New update is terrible

Been a Decibel subscriber for years. App always works great. Until I downloaded the latest update. Now it crashes every single time I try and open it. I've rebooted, deleted and downloaded and installed it again. I'm done.

Edit: Tried new and "improved" version. I can now open an issue, but it crashes every time after about a dozen pages. Still a garbage update.

Tried April 15th update. Now won't even download. Gets stuck on "Stopped - Resume ?". Every other magazine app I have works fine, like this one used to before it got ruined. I'm done with it. Deleting and unsubscribing.

Update! Have you had the opportunity to download the April 15 update? It should be running smoothly. If you are having any problems with the latest version, please email support@presspadapp.com

New App

I really enjoyed the prior versions of the app. This new one, however, is not my jam. For starters, all my prior purchases were lost and I cannot restore any of them despite clicking the restore option. Second, the app is not user friendly at all. I have a hard time scrolling through issues and finding issues that I’m interested in. It just feels like the sorting interface sacrificed ease-of-access for having the images of the magazine covers. This is annoying and I have a hard time finding anything. Third, the app itself appears to be bare-bones with little support or other features to get help, hence why I’m posting a review instead of contacting customer or tech support. In sum, the new app feels half-baked and is, in my opinion, unusable. I really do hope the app is reverted or greatly improved on as the Decibel does have good content but I cannot consume it like this.

Great Magazine but tons of App problems

In the past month or so, the App disappeared completely for a few days and came back with a less functional design, then got a second overhaul where only the most recent 16 issues currently available. I no longer have access to the majority of the issues I purchased including all the special editions.

The app keeps getting worse

Restore purchases doesn’t work and now less mags show. C’mon this is frustrating. So basically I lost all of my purchases throughout the years of being a dedicated subscriber. Considering dropping my subscription if this app keeps getting worse.

Response from developer

Hello, we apologize for the frustration and inconvenience. Have you been able to restore all of your purchases? If not, please email support@presspadapp.com
