### 5/5 — New consumer

*2026-07-22*

2st arrived magazine loved so many things I learned and free evening primrose  happy lady here

### 5/5 — Easy to understand

*2025-11-05*

The experts make the advice easy to follow for every level of experience. The different areas of the garden are all given equal attention.

### 1/5 — Does not work for me!

*2025-06-12*

Unable to get this app to work as it always asks me to subscribe. Bauer failed to solve the issue so far after some weeks off to and from with emails…

Seems they’ve forgotten about my complaint.

### 4/5 — Terrible service from Bauer Media

*2023-09-21*

Once again Bauer Media have failed to properly transition to an upgraded app the service from them is terrible

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2023-09-11*

I have just taken out a physical and digital subscription and the app doesn’t work. It tells me to update the app. It’s the latest version and there is no update. I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled and still the same. I’m paying for a service that I can’t use. I’ve messaged and got ZERO response. Waste of Time!

### 5/5 — Interesting and reliable

*2019-04-17*

Garden News contains all the information I need to take care of my garden. I love the tips and hints!

### 1/5 — Rubbish Customer Support

*2019-01-17*

I have been using this app for over 2 years without a problem when suddenly, the Download button failed to appear on 3 issue. Since first reporting the problem, and well over a dozen emails sent to/from Bauer, they have managed to escalate the problem to the point of completely locking me out of the App. It’s like a yo-yo, each time they say they have fixed it & I should be able to get back in, I try and I can’t!! Don’t even bother to raising a formal complaint to Head of Customer Experience! I have, twice, and haven’t had the courtesy of a reply!

### 5/5 — Great publication

*2016-11-07*

I have subscribed to the paper version for a number of years and have recently changed to digital on my iPad and now I have all the great features in one place and can take it with me anywhere in the world,I have recently returned from a holiday in Majorca and was reading it by the pool with a beer,you can't get better than that
Highly recommended

### 4/5 — L.
