### 4/5 — Update needed for new iOS devices

Please update app for support on newer iOS devices such as 2018 iPads.

### 3/5 — New iPad support

*2019-02-17*

Can we get support for the new iPads

### 2/5 — Orientation issues

*2017-09-12, version 4.9.99*

On the iPad, this keeps flipping to the wrong way up in landscape. Very annoying.

### 4/5 — Good read

*2015-12-20, version 4.9.86*

Light hearted content with fresh photos that are tastefully presented - nothing confronting, just healthy, normal people pictured in their best

### 5/5 — Great magazine

Well done DNA. Fantastic magazine and look forward to the new release issues monthly. Congratulations and keep up the great publication of stories and pics.

Have been buying this magazine for a long, long, long time. Love it and hang for every issue. 👍👍👍👍👍

### 5/5 — DNA MAGAZINE

*2014-12-27, version 4.9.54*

Interesting and outgoing

### 5/5 — Fantastic magazine

*2014-11-16*

DNA is without question the best men's magazine I have ever seen. I used to get The Advocate when it was still printed on newsprint, and I've been receiving OUT magazine since it came out.
There is no comparison to the advocate for serious political and cultural reporting, but they separated their "visual" content quite a few years ago removing themselves from the genre where one would logically put DNA magazine. And out magazine is mostly advertising and fashion, neither of which particularly appeals to me.
From the first time I looked at DNA magazine I knew it was something different. The models are exceptionally handsome and fit, men who would cause you to stop and stare if seen on the street. DNA was the first place I had ever seen the model pull his speedos down to where the reader could see the base of his penis, a look I call the "DNA look".  

I'm not sure DNA would win any awards for journalism, but for sheer entertainment value, I've seen nothing better.

### 2/5 — pocketMag has got to go

*2014-09-14*

I've spent all night trying to download the latest issue. Just got 112 pages downloaded.  The thought of finishing this issue plus 3 others is giving me a major headache. On the positive side, I always thought t was a patient person until this began. now I know I'm not..

### 5/5 — Please remove this from my history

*2014-07-06*

I thought this was kombi life magazine but I was wrong and the 17+ never came up so please remove this app from my history , because I am giving you 5 stars

### 4/5 — Good product

*2014-05-13, version 4.9.51*

New issues take long time to download even on fast network

### 5/5 — Hot hot hot!

*2014-05-02*

One of the hottest mags is now one of the hottest apps! 
Now I can have all of my favourite issues in the one place for easy access.

### 4/5 — Great Magazine...

*2014-05-02, version 4.9.43*

DNA is a great magazine. The articles are fantastic, relevant, and up to date, and the pictures aren't so bad either. Oh, who am I kidding...it's the pics followed by the articles... :-) I would have given it 5 stars, but the app does seem to crash more than I would like. To be fair though, all the online mags can be fussy. Keep up the great work!

### 2/5 — What happened to restore purchases?

*2013-12-20, version 4.9.37*

Why some applications have such a problem to restore previously purchased issues. This is not the first time I had thiss problem with DNA. Very unprofessional!

### 5/5 — Review

*2013-11-27, version 4.9.31*

Quality magazine but a little over-priced

### 5/5 — Great

*2013-09-20*

A good mag

### 5/5 — Digital reading made easy

*2013-09-17*

This is what I want to say about this app. It's sexy, fresh and easy to use. I like reading the physical magazine but this is definitely a great alternate.

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2013-08-25*

DNA has to be the best gay international magazine there it.  Great photos, great articles.  Great in print and on my iPad.  I look forward to DNA every month.  Thanks DNA.  Keep up the great work!

### 1/5 — Please Restore purchases

*2020-09-15*

구매 취소 부탁드립니다.

### 1/5 — Most recent update and subscription not working

*2014-05-31*

I did the most recent and then re subscribed for a year a few days ago, but "download" is not working for me, the only option to read most recent issue is apparently to buy again.

### 1/5 — Do Not Buy

*2013-03-14, version 4.9.10*

The latest update has pics edited that aren't even bad. Do not waist your 7 bucks. They took the fun out of the magazine.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2013-03-10, version 4.9.7*

Not only one of the worst magazine apps, but the content of the magazine is rubbish. Photoshopped models don't make a mag gay. It merely strives to sell a commodified lifestyle. Zzzzzz

### 1/5 — The current version crashes repeatedly

*2013-01-09, version 4.2.3*

The current version crashes, loses issues I've purchased, it is slow. Hopefully they'll fix it someday.

### 1/5 — Poor app

*2013-01-09, version 4.2.3*

The magazines fail to download properly every time. This leaves you in  an endless loop of entering passwords in the pocket mag app and the apple store which brings you to a blank screen, deleting the mags and starting all over.  Avoid this app !

### 1/5 — Broken

*2013-01-09, version 4.2.3*

app crashes...does not download.  Tried everything.  Please fix.

### 1/5 — I WANT MY MONEY  BACK!!!!!

*2013-01-02, version 4.2.3*

I bought the yearly digital subscription and I can't open the goddamn app!!! This digital magazine subscription is a RIP OFF!!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2013-01-02, version 4.2.3*

The app does not load up at all, very poor performance and poor customer service. The printed magazine is however very good.

### 1/5 — App Screwed

*2013-01-02, version 4.2.3*

The app is screwed and the current issue isn't available. Pocketmags support are useless too.

### 5/5 — The easiest way to get your DNA

*2019-10-27*

Having been an avid reader of this magazine for 4 years, I am thrilled to have the capacity to read on my iPad, on the train and anywhere I need a boost.

### 5/5 — Fantastic magazine.

*2019-01-16*

DNA is the best gay magazine that I have ever subscribed to. The variety of the articles plus of course the photo shoots of gorgeous men with unbelievably sculpted bodies, make every page of this magazine delightful.
Thank you.

### 5/5 — Constant companion

*2018-11-09*

DNA is there for me every month - no matter what mood I’m in or what’s going on in my life - whenever the next issue hits I go to my happy place

### 5/5 — great gay mag

*2018-08-12*
