Great instruction articles. *2024-12-03, version 5.7.11* I love every issue. ### 4/5 — Late delivery *2023-09-28, version 5.7.10* The September edition came out mid month Good content Long wait ### 1/5 — No zoom! *2023-04-10* Just subscribed for the first time to see if I like this magazine. Well I did the digital version only and it turns out you can’t zoom in on the articles. Do worry too much though, you can zoom in on the writing for the single page ads with no issue. I’d like to read the articles, please fix this. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with older iPads that don’t support IOS 13. *2022-10-09, version 5.7.9* Quit working since Upgraded for IOS 13. No backward compatibility so my subscription is now useless. ### 1/5 — Where did my back issues go?…(update) *2022-09-04* I updated the app, then lost almost all of my back issues….. Now all I have are issues from 2010 to 2011, the 2019 to date. Where did all the issues between go????? I tried logging off and logging on again, tried restoring issues, no difference. I got the subscription from iTunes Store, if this is something between the publisher and Apple please resolve ASAP!!! Update - so the back issues are there now, but I cannot save them to my iPad… I download the issue, but when I reopen the app the issues are downloaded… I’d like to use the app when offline like on an airplane, why can’t I download the issues anymore…. ### 1/5 — Where is golf digest *2021-11-16, version 5.7.8* Too much downtime between issues Great time now to look at next years clubs and pre season golf for 2022 ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2021-10-30, version 5.7.8* Do not subscribe to this emag ### 1/5 — No access *2021-10-01, version 5.7.8* App is unusable. Cannot confirm subscription. Fields to input information missing labels. App will not distinguish between new account and existing. ### 1/5 — Junk app *2021-07-29, version 5.7.8* What’s the point of downloading and issue if it still doesn’t let you read it offline. Absolutely pointless. ### 4/5 — No update *2021-01-05, version 5.7.7* There is no update since 2020.11(koda sisters). Is there any problem? ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-10-22, version 5.7.7* Does not work. Has ads. It’s just the web page in an app. Why bother? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible customer service *2025-11-23, version 6.0* I’m not a review guy, but I’ve had it. I purchased the digital and hard copy subscription in August. Yet to receive a hard copy. I have emailed three times now. With no response. ### 1/5 — One of the worst apps I’ve ever used *2025-10-18, version 6.0* I think they just stopped supporting it. The only purpose here is to search and the search bar is broke. ### 1/5 — Can’t unsub from newsletters *2025-09-21, version 6.0* No matter how many time I try to unsubscribe, contact the service desk email, or report the emails as spam, I continue every day getting newsletters. Terrible app interface and customer service. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-05-10, version 6.0* Digital search feature doesn’t work and they do not respond to emails. Do not waste your money. ### 1/5 — Golf Digest *2024-10-16, version 5.7.11* There is no customer support. No reply to emails. No information on webinars until it is too late to register . No assistance if password is not accepted, although entered correctly. ### 1/5 — Cannot use my digital content *2024-05-19* I have had a subscription for years. All of a sudden my subscription is not recognized on my iPad. I have sent numerous emails asking for help. I always get the computer generated response, we have received your email and will get back to you as soon as possible. I have not gotten a response in four months. Additionally, when you call golf digest to discuss, the technical department cannot be reached by phone. You talk to the customer service representative and they tell you they cannot help you. Please send an email to technical support. Has to be the worst customer service in the world. Basically the technical support department operates with impunity. ### 1/5 — Can’t break 150 *2024-03-23* If this app were a golf score, it’d shoot 160, minimum. Forgets you have downloaded the latest issue, will not allow you to see any of YOUR PAID DOWNLOADED ISSUES while off line, and won’t allow you to follow links while online. It’s a special kind of terrible app. A 5 putt, not 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Pay pay pay *2024-02-20, version 5.7.10* Make me pay for a “special” edition then won’t let me login just a crappy magazine over the last 2 years their online edition can’t be accessed and no trouble with login key ### 1/5 — Where’s the magazine? *2023-09-06, version 5.7.10* A few articles. That’s all ### 1/5 — Can’t save issues to read on the plane *2023-08-08, version 5.7.10* Pretty much the only time I read magazines, but need an active Wi-Fi connection. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Superb layout *2026-06-20* Well done, Golf Digest! It’s one of the easiest online magazines to navigate, & the content is top notch. ### 5/5 — love it *2025-01-23, version 5.7.11* Works well on a cellphone but for the best results use a tablet ! i love that you can download the issues so you can still read it on the go ! ### 5/5 — Videos *2024-07-07* I have yet to find the video section of the app but it would be nice to have access to that content aswell ### 5/5 — Nice Reading Experience *2022-01-11* Clear pictures and words! Nice layout! ### 5/5 — Golf Digest Review *2021-12-25* Great magazine with many improvement tips from pros and teachers. Also info on latest equipment available. Further good stories on the touring pros both PGA and LPGA. ### 5/5 — Missing Edition *2021-11-25, version 5.7.8* I can’t find the October issue in my app and it’s November ### 5/5 — Great Navigation *2021-04-14* Really easy to use, and I can always find what I’m looking for! ### 5/5 — Golf Digest *2021-02-23, version 5.7.8* Love the magazine!!! ### 5/5 — Font size *2021-01-26, version 5.7.7* I have been reading GD for more than 30 years I use my iPad now The font size you are using is small cannot be increased in most of the articles Please correct this ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-07-03* Overall this is a great app for reading GD on the go. However, a dark mode feature would be a wonderful addition to be easier on the eyes 👀 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
