Why does every issue have to deal with the issue of weight? I have being getting Dr Oz magazine since the first issue, and every issue is the same. I finally stopped my subscription.

This is very informative. Like that it gives non traditional ideas on a lot of issues. Very good magazine.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — I cannot view the magazine I purchased

*2021-06-17, version 5.4.4*

I specifically wanted the 21-day breakthrough diet from issue Jan/Feb 2017, but I am only able to view thumbnail of the pages, which I can’t see enough to read. I get only a black screen if I try and enlarge the pages for viewing, so essentially, at this point the app and purchase are useless. I am sending an email to the app manager.

### 1/5 — Did not work

*2019-10-26, version 5.4.4*

Was very sad the could not view any of the downloads just a black screen

### 1/5 — The good life. Dr oz

*2019-07-08, version 5.4.4*

Junk. Came into my iPad without invitation from me. No way to delete it. Dr oz gets sleazier and sleazier.

### 1/5 — Do not buy!!

*2017-04-17, version 5.4.4*

Once you are in, you can not cancel!  They hook you and you can't get a hold of them.  No phone number, no email, no nothing!  Only way is to cancel the credit card

### 1/5 — Not worth my hard earned money to be sure.

*2017-01-02, version 5.4.3*

Read like a flyer not like a magazine so many ads and so little substance, very surprise that you're willing to put your good name behind this Dr. Oz.

### 1/5 — Currently a subscriber

*2017-01-02, version 5.4.3*

Have been a current subscriber for at very least two years but can't do anything else but manage my email preferences on this app 😐 and I can't download any other magazine issues other than the free one without being asked to pay $3.99 - please fix- Thanks

### 1/5 — Dr.Oz

*2015-05-19, version 5.0.4*

Useless information and a liar.

### 1/5 — Hate

*2015-03-22, version 3.4.0*

Agree with #2.  Have attempted repeatedly to cancel... Keep getting charged every month

### 1/5 — Waste of money and time

*2015-03-15, version 5.0.1*

Right from the start I was surprised by how bad this magazine is. Waited until the end of my subscription period and I can't cancel it. Followed all the instructions during my grace period between scripts and nothing works. Now I'll get charged again.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2014-07-08, version 3.1.1*

Doesn't work. I can open the rest of the magazines I purchased, but not this one. Very disappointing and a waste of money.

### 5/5 — Favorite magazine

*2017-06-02, version 5.4.4*

I have always been a fan of doctor OZ, i have relieved his magazine for a while now (hard copy). I recently decided to give the digital copy a try and i am not disappointed at all. I am not a fan of digital copies of reading material this is the first one that i can keep focus on and not put me to sleep and no useless ads to have to deal with. Worth the money

*2016-02-26, version 5.1.3*

What a great, informative magazine. I happened on a copy of the magazine in my doctor's office; however, I did not have time to read it. So I looked it up online and read a sample copy. I will be subscribing today. What a refreshing change of pace.

### 5/5 — Dr. Oz Show and Magazine Rock!
