### 1/5 — App is bad.

*2026-05-25, version 10.2.2*

I have an active subscription but cannot download content or restore purchases.  I have contacted them a few times with short term success- but it always reverts.

### 2/5 — Format

*2026-01-19, version 10.1.0*

The interface is pretty poor.

### 1/5 — Can’t login as a subscriber

*2025-09-20, version 10.1.0*

Can’t access my subscription with this ap

### 1/5 — Terrible app- and does not sync subscription with website

*2025-08-09*

The Dwell app charges my credit card through Apple but keeps kicking me out and will not restore my purchases without making me contact customer service.  They also make it impossible to read on-line content with my Apple subscription because they do not sync my account.

### 1/5 — Unable to login

*2025-01-12, version 9.0.0*

I received an email from Dwell inviting me to login with my subscription but it doesn’t work nor can I create an account.

### 1/5 — Something went wrong

*2024-12-18*

I have the Dwell All Access subscription. I keep getting a “Something went wrong “ error when trying to login. Dwell has outsourced tech support to a 3rd party who sends me confirmation emails that they’ve received my help request, and that’s the end of it. They never contact me to fix the problem. For a $55 annual subscription, I expect better than this.

### 5/5 — Love dwell

*2024-09-11*

Ive been reading this magazine since2009. Read my first issue at dentist office. Peaked my intrest because of a shipping container home picture. Subscribed and wait for every issue. I like the title of each issue to encourage me with a big thought. Im a stroke survivor.
Im interested in down sizing again. I was a contractor for 20yrs before stroke. Worked in construction the30 yrs before that. Every issue gives me a little inspiration to continue on.
Dream big is the latest encouragement.

### 1/5 — Scott

*2024-01-13, version 7.0*

I’ve logged in multiple times and yet i still get the the timer at the bottom. I’m a subscriber!

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-11-14, version 7.0*

Why can’t they create an app that doesn’t keep asking you to subscribe (even after you subscribed!)??? So stupid… and frustrating.

### 1/5 — Not access if you subscribed on wen

*2023-10-24, version 7.0*

For whatever reason you cannot log in with the username and pw you created if you signed up for a physical/digital subscription of Dwell. You have to buy this in app again if you want app access. Stupid.
