### 1/5 — Cannot view collective content

*2024-09-17*

Cookies message cannot be closed and keeps flickering hence cannot see any of the content. Waste of time.

### 3/5 — Poor app

*2024-03-16*

Content is great but app is poor, halfway through reading mag
“ grey boxes” appear over text rendering pages unreadable, sometimes it fixes if reinstalled but it’s an ultimately frustrating experience and I ended up deleting despite having paid for a year’s subscription. This doesn’t happen with other magazine’s apps.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2023-02-23*

Rubbish app. As glitchy as possible. Contacted customer service by ‘phone & email. Just don’t want to know. Unable to log into app from the start. Love the magazine. Wish I’d never signed up for a subscription.

### 1/5 — Keeps freezing

*2022-01-24*

Paid the e magZINE KEEPS FREEZINGthrough their website and got a customer number. But app keeps saying customer number not then found and customer service is slow at resolving. Still has no access. Will be cancelling.

### 1/5 — App freezes

*2022-01-02*

Content looks good however can’t read it as app freezes repeatedly very difficult to use.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work properly

*2021-11-05*

Swipe sensitive and always freezing.  It’s the only magazine app I have issues with.

### 2/5 — Freezes a lot

*2020-12-07*

I love the magazine content itself, but the app is as glitchy as hell... it didn't use to be that way. I experience constant freezing after a few pages. Reinstalling the app doesn't even work.  Disappointing and makes for a very frustrating experience.

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2020-11-09*

The app constantly freezes when reading through the magazine.

### 1/5 — App doesn't remember you have a subscription

*2017-02-04*

I got this subscription free with my bank account - wish I'd gone for something else! Had it for 6 months and never managed to read a full copy as subscription is always forgotten when you close the app, customer service is really unhelpful! I'm also a subscriber to Women's Health and have never had any problems with my subscription there - sort it out Elle!

### 4/5 — 구매목록 삭제 요청합니다.
