Automatic renewal doesn’t work

Automatic monthly renewal stopped working in October 2025. Have received no updated response regarding this matter that I requested via email over a week ago.

Excellent and very readable

Excellent magazine. Only thing they could really improve on is to add more articles to help senior and super senior players and players recovering fro injuries.

Bad web service

Signed up online paid in full received discounts but no mag or ability to login

App just spins

I’m trying to subscribe, have been trying for a week. App just spins and spins.

Terrible service.

I’ve been a subscriber for many years, I used to love reading David Fehrety. I miss his writing still.
But that’s not why I’m upset with Golf Mag. In recent years, I’ve had to report numerous missing issues, which customer service said they would add to the end of my subscription. I always seemed to receive the issue the following month, if it did happen to arrive at all.
The final straw, in Dec, they auto renewed my subscription for 2023, I received the first three issues, then nothing. I reviewed my account details, and apparently I don’t have one. I’m still receiving the digital version, but not the magazine. I called customer service and they said I didn’t have a subscription and to call my credit card company and report the issue as fraud. When I asked to discuss the matter with a customer service supervisor I was told they were too busy to talk with me. The only fraud is from Golf magazine.

App Will Not Sync Current Issues

This app will NOT sync latest issue in a timely manner. Unlike Golf Digest, where the printed issue and digital issue release at the same time, in the week or two prior to issue month, the digital issue of Golf doesn’t become available until end of the issue month at best. It’s been like this for a while now, and customer service is not helpful at explaining why.

Poor updates

Lags 2 weeks behind print edition to get newest issue. Thought it would be better especially when you are pre-paying over $30 annually

Great!!

Love this on the phone. Easy to navigate and very handy because who can carry a magazine everywhere??😄😄
I do love the magazine on my table at the house.

Great app!

Very poor performing app

Pales in comparison to Golf Digest app. Seems to fight my iPad in terms of page orientation. I’ll try it every couple of months or so and end up getting frustrated. How the heck can these smart developers put out such a underwhelming product?

Horrible issue management

Mar 2021 Update: past issues still not restored. Since iOS 14.4 app randomly closes. App repeatedly makes you sign in when attempting to use.

Past issues is a deal breaker. Customer service emails back stating not their fault, it’s Golf Magazine’s fault because they only allowed the app company access to a few issues. Doesn’t matter who’s fault it is, it’s broken...period.

Will not renew. Why should a customer stick with a product that takes away what they already paid for?

Much better than the old version

Now you can see articles easily when reading on a phone. All of the back issues aren’t in the app yet but I understand that it will take some time for those to be added. I will be patient because this experience is so much of an improvement. Thank you for enhancing this app.

This is better but....

The new app is good in that articles on the website are easily viewed, but again it wipes out the issues you have downloaded. Not only do you have to download the issues again, I lost issues as the app only goes back a year. I have subscribed since 2014, the older version at least allowed me to download the issues since they discontinued the older app in 2018, but now I cannot go back farther than one year!!!! It’s like they are taking back the issues I have paid for, it’s need to be resolved ASAP!!!!

New app version is so much better

Love the navigation! Reading is so much better. Thank you GOLF Magazine!

Golf Mag.

Doesn’t download issues, NO customer support.

Bad digital experience

Ever since digital updates continuing problems, unable to download new issues, poor navigation, difficult to use. All kinds of useless options on side bar but nothing readers can use. Was a good app and still a good magazine but totally messed up digital experience.

Can’t login

Cannot access digital copies on IPad. Emailed support no help. Very frustrating!!

Does not update!!

Why does the newest issue not show up in the app when it’s released? The new issue has been out for 3 weeks, yet it is t in the app! I just paid for a year subscription and it’s not updating!

Doesn’t Work

Can’t sign in. Can’t get new editions. Cant get help.
Can’t get any clear response.
Simply BAD SERVICE

HELLO!

IS ANYONE THERE? IS ANYONE LISTENING? DOES ANYONE CARE?

Worthless - should be zero stars

I can’t log in.
I’ve emailed, I’ve called on the phone...twice. Still no resolution to not being able to read the digital edition of the magazine I paid for!
GM, serious question - WHY DO YOU THINK THERE ARE SO MANY 1 STAR REVIEWS???
Because this app stinks and your customer service is non-existent is my guess.
