### 1/5 — This is NOT GOOD

*2024-03-12, version 7.1.1*

I have a subscription but now you make it so hard to sign in, that i don't need you on my iPad. DELETE. Updated 09/10/2019 I thought I'd try again to login to my digital account but apparently I don't know my own postcode. Because I have entered it wrong. Once again I don't need this cr*p on my iPad. Update again 11/10/2019 Simply verify your Golf Monthly subscriber status below and your access to the digital editions will start immediately. Another load off cr*p. Updated 12/11/2021 thought I’d have another go at get a digital copy. Apparently I am no longer entitled to a digital copy. This is according to their customer services. APP DELETED for good.
Update for the 29/02/2024. I get an email from Golf Monthly telling me that my magazine subscription has been upgraded to include access to the digital edition. So I thought why not give it one more go. I followed their instructions and guess what. IT STILL DOESN’T WORK. YOU ARE JUST WMFT. DELETED AGAIN.

### 1/5 — Can’t cancel & misleading info

*2019-02-14*

When I signed up it showed a magazine photo giving you the impression this was for this. Instead this is for digital only. Be careful you can’t cancel and has auto renew which I can’t see how to cancel.

### 5/5 — Better

*2018-07-17*

So much better a lot faster very easy to use great app

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2016-01-05*

App is terrible seems about 5 yrs old, can't even let you write a review without it being a challenge, truly shocking.  Even worse still it would appear I can't access any of the content, bought a subscription, logged in was able to view one magazine, now unable to view anything with paying again.  This is a con!

### 1/5 — Mr

*2015-12-24, version 4.3*

This app is so frustrating, it will not let me view the latest issue. I paid for a years subscription and it's a Royal pain in the a***!
No other magazine apps give me this much grief, wished I'd gone old school.

### 1/5 — Very very poor

*2015-08-04*

I feel conned. Paid a years subs and it has never worked correctly since. Can't save old editions and never know if the latest issue is ready.

Tried to contact app people and never get answers. Even hard to write a review. Get booted off if nickname taken after you have written it.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2015-07-29, version 4.3*

Hard to navigate and doesn't complete downloads, one of the worst newstand apps

### 1/5 — Open 2015 Edition

*2015-06-30, version 4.3*

Disappointed that you don't get the St Andrews Strokesaver with the digital edition.  Very annoying! Won't be buying the digital version in future.

### 2/5 — this app is not good

*2015-03-19, version 4.3*

having used the sunday times app on the ipad, i thought that the ipad was the way forward for golf monthly
the app is awful, it seems unpredictable about seeing other editions and gives me no confidence that i will get my next edition
once reading the magazine it is ok

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2014-11-24, version 4.2*

Wonderful enhancement to the monthly journal of all that is relevant and current in the Golf world
