### 3/5 — Give my money back

*2020-04-24*

I paid for the latest issue, but the app does not download it. Not good!

### 4/5 — Needs iPhone X Support!!!

*2018-05-20*

It’s a really good app, but it needs iPhone X support, I’ve had the iPhone X for a couple of months now and this is one of only a couple of apps that don’t have X support yet. Get with the times!!!

### 4/5 — Great magazine AND great app

*2015-04-29*

This is the best magazine app I use. You even get a choice about whether or not to download full video links or live stream as desired, which helps with download time (very quick). 
Until this version of the app, text was sometimes slightly small and blurred, but that's totally sorted now. Only reason for not five stars is that the double page spreads Diva does very well are not good to see via. An online app.
Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Looks great!

*2014-01-15*

The app works really well and looks fantastic on my iPad. I love being able to click on the internet links and for them to open directly from the magazine. 

As a plus, my partner now doesn't need to complain about all the old magazines lying around the house.

### 5/5 — Yes!!!!

*2013-11-19*

Great stories and very entertaining.

### 5/5 — Diva App

*2013-11-06*

Look forward to my diva downloading every month, saves searching the shops every month.....great app

### 4/5 — Love Diva

*2013-11-06*

Diva has been a source of encouragement, comfort, and knowledge over the past year (since I've downloaded this app.) It works flawlessly for me and I'm always excited when a new issue is available!

### 5/5 — Great Mag

*2013-09-13*

Always look forward to reading Diva every month. I've  chosen to download and subscribed for 12 months so I can read on my I pad for a much reduced price compared to the cover price! Also saves having to find where whsmiths have hidden it away on their shelves. Always informative and up to date of gay issues with a good deal of humour as well as factual stories and events. A must read. Love it

### 5/5 — Happy

*2013-08-13, version 4.9.26*

Love getting DIVA straight to my phone every month. Thanks guys!

### 5/5 — Great app and great magazine

### 5/5 — Diva

*2013-05-30, version 4.9.10*

Great mag, topical and informative,

### 4/5 — Not a bad magazine!!

*2013-05-19*

This magazine is pretty great. Sometimes the stories are a little pointless to me but other than that... It's cool.

### 5/5 — Quality reading

*2013-05-17, version 4.9.10*

Great articles

### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant!

*2013-05-17*

A brilliant app, often can download the latest issue before the shops get hold of it.
Great as you can click though to websites mentioned. Also great that the digital version is cheaper than the print version as a lot of other magazines don't do this.

### 2/5 — Excellent

*2013-05-14*

Great way of keeping up to date what's happening, great articles and reviews of music, movies etc

### 5/5 — Thank you, Diva ;)

*2013-02-22*

It says that magazine is not only for lesbian woman but also bisexual. I really admire that that is not just words - it's true.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2013-02-18, version 4.9.3*

Love having Diva on my iPad! So handy being able to take it everywhere I go, especially on flights and long journeys. Very easy to use. And no more creases in the pages ;)

### 1/5 — Livin’ in a city?....you will luv it....but.....

*2018-09-21*

Took a digital subscription, Sadly I can’t say I find anything of much interest each month shame really as I had high hopes. Very metro centred, and of course we don’t all live in London or the other major cities. Hey ho it strikes me as a young persons read

### 5/5 — L with the T

*2021-11-05*

Diva’s content is pretty much the definition of bougie lifestyle gay but their unflinching commitment to trans inclusion is well worth celebrating

### 5/5 — Happy to have the pink logo on my iPad .

*2017-08-26*

The large pink logo on my iPad is my portal to fantastic photos, informative articles, and fun news updates the happenings across the pond and around the world. The app works well and I so look forward reading this online magazine every month. 
I like the option, too, of being able to see all the covers from the past and be able to purchase them at a reasonable cost if I wish. 
Well done, ladies.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2014-12-17*

I love this, I get lots of different magazines on iPad and love the varied choice of US, Canadian, French and Australian magazines I can now enjoy, I also love many other international mags available, as well as loads of UK ones (this is the main reason I bought my iPad).  This app is easy to use and I love the magazine - it is easy and fun to read with great interactive features, I love this magazine - relevant, informative and interesting.

### 5/5 — Love for DIVA

*2014-12-14*

I love this magazine, and this app

### 5/5 — Great magazine

*2014-06-30, version 4.9.54*

Even better than the hardcopy, this comes with additional content and hyperlinks. If you want impartial, informative articles, combined with reader views and not too many adverts then this is the mag for you.
