It simply does not appear, even when I restore my purchases. I am repeatedly asked to pay for issues even though I have an active subscription. I have tried contacting the developers and their responses have been unhelpful. The FAQs section tells me “access denied”. This is unacceptable. I am canceling my subscription, which is a shame because I enjoyed reading the magazine. ### 1/5 — Update your app! *2020-07-31, version 21.0* Love the magazine but the app is crap. It crashes, freezes, and it always has difficulties letting me log in/download the issues I paid for... ### 1/5 — Unable to login *2020-07-24, version 21.0* I reset my password 5 times and I still can’t log in using the correct password. ### 4/5 — Great issue this month *2020-07-05, version 19.0* The articles for this month were more relevant to our current status ( Staying home). Keep us the good work with giving us recipes, home remedies, and basic activities to stay mentally well. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-04-25, version 17.1* I assumed that since I am a subscriber to Good Housekeeping magazine, I would able to enter my subscription information in the app in order to review back issues digitally. Not so, the app requires a separate subscription and GH has no digital issues for current subscribers to review. Two separate subscriptions! Hardly. I expected more from GH. ### 2/5 — Glitchy app *2020-04-12, version 17.1* First of all, I really like GH the magazine. But this app stinks. Used to work great but the app has become super glitchy. IF I can even get the issue to open, every page is duplicated in the issue. So I have to swipe thru every ad twice. I’m on my way to iTunes to cancel my subscription. Big bummer. ### 2/5 — GH review *2020-03-21, version 16.0* I have been reading GH for 57years! Sometimes I’ve been able to have a subscription, otherwise I’d buy it in the grocery store. When the digital age struck I was delighted. Now I could have it always on my iPad. This April issue is the most disappointing issue, ever. Your format has been changing over the years: no personal interest stories, nothing written in depth, etc. This issue was full of repeating ads — duplicates one right after another. Often articles are short, and duplicated. I am extremely disappointed in Good Housekeeping Magazine. When my subscription comes up for renewal, I will be canceling. Regretfully, ....Hope Whitten ### 4/5 — January Issue? *2020-01-16, version 16.0* Love this app for reading the magazine online. However, is there supposed to be a January 2020 issue available? ### 1/5 — App is terrible.. *2020-01-08, version 16.0* Issues will not download so buying a annual subscription is a total waste of money. The developer MAZ claims no responsibility and will not help. Basically MAZ (developer) has only one function and that seems to be to con apple users into subscribing. The magazine blames the developer and Apple says too bad! I have now learned to avoid any app that says MAZ ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2019-11-28, version 16.0* Issues no longer download. Total waste of money ### 1/5 — Cannot figure out download *2019-10-30, version 16.0* I cannot get NOVEMBER issues to appear to even down Load. I have an active subscription . ### 1/5 — App won’t work *2019-10-29, version 16.0* Not only can I not get my November issue the app keeps crashing!! Really not impressed. ### 1/5 — I have not been able to get my November 2019 Issue!!! *2019-10-27, version 16.0* How can I get November Issue. Never had a problem before! Who do I contact? ### 1/5 — Missing issues, no customer service *2019-10-26, version 16.0* I emailed app support about a week ago regarding November 2019’s missing issue not showing up for download. No response and the issue is still not available for download on the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Digital access *2026-06-22, version 26.0* When I renewed my subscription it was supposed to include digital access. I can’t get access to it and it says I’m out of free articles. I’m only getting 6 magazines and no digital. ### 1/5 — New issue *2025-08-18, version 26.0* Have not received update for July and August…. No response from reviews or emails. Horrible tech support . Quick to take $$$$ ### 1/5 — New issue *2025-08-04, version 26.0* Have not received update for July issue ? ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2025-03-09, version 25.0* Can’t log in ### 1/5 — Online print *2024-05-25* Very small hard to read. Can download to read offline but have no idea where it went. Overall not impressed ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2023-12-16, version 23.0* I am having a hard time searching recipes ### 1/5 — Nothing loads *2023-05-13, version 23.0* No pictures…. No text. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Nothing. ### 1/5 — Poor *2021-08-22, version 23.0* Wish app would have a favorites option for articles and recipes vs having to scroll and try to find it - or at minimum a search feature that works ### 1/5 — Frustrated with App *2021-04-22, version 23.0* I just purchased a subscription to Good Housekeeping online and I got the email confirming it. I’m supposed to get access to the digital version of the magazine and yet it won’t let me log into the app with the email and zip I’m supposed to be able to log in with. I’m very confused and frustrated by this. ### 1/5 — Good Housekeeping *2020-11-22, version 22.0* I downloaded this FREE app today. $3.99 after 5 free minutes to read each month, no thanks!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GoodHousekeeping *2023-03-13, version 23.0* It’s the only magazine I’ve love ### 5/5 — I Love this company and their magazines! *2021-09-30, version 23.0* ❤️ Amazing in every way. I learn something new and interesting everytime I decide to peek in one. Perfect for someone like me who doesn’t know anything about housekeeping! ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-07-11, version 20.0* I love this app but my only thing is that it needs a place where we can save 🔖 something we like on the app. I wish it had that. ### 5/5 — App is not working *2020-01-12, version 16.0* I am stuck in Dec. 2019. Apple support could not fix it. I like the online magazine, but where is it? Very frustrating. ### 5/5 — Where’s the November issue? *2019-10-26, version 16.0* November isn’t available but it’s a week away. ### 5/5 — Seal of Approval?? *2019-10-20, version 16.0* I have loved Good Housekeeping mag for most of my 73 years. There was always at least one recent issue on the coffee table at home. I was thrilled to find that I could continue having those current issues on iPad even though I now live abroad, and I went electronic when the app first appeared. All was well until about a year ago when the app changed formats. Since then I’ve had nothing but trouble. I have complained about this directly to the app people when that was an option in the Contact Us area. The problems have been numerous. This week every morning I have received a notice on my screen saying my November issue is ready to Download and please be sure to see this or that. When I follow the link or go to the app to download it myself I’m still stuck on Halloween. The screens I used to be able to see to help control or just to complain to the powers that be are nowhere to be found! Why? This app certainly does not have my seal of approval. How can Good Housekeeping continue to give out their famous seal of approval and yet deal in such a shoddy product? It has given me nothing but trouble. By the way, all the other magazines I subscribe to work perfectly 99% of the time. ### 5/5 — Janette *2018-09-21, version 11.0* I really love this magazine, it has everything; great advice, wonderful products, cutting-edge health and beauty articles, fashion and home design and the recipes are to die for. ### 5/5 — love❤️ *2017-03-20, version 5.4.4* I love this app! It's so nice and makes life so much easier! ### 5/5 — Love It! *2016-11-06* If you love Pinterest, you will love this magazine! Every issue not only give me ideas I love, but has a link to how to do it, as well as where to buy the supplies! This issue is just as amazing as the rest!! ### 5/5 — Perfect for lovers of home decor & acting like you're getting. Your life together. *2016-10-05, version 5.1.4* I love this magazine. Great ideas for decorating, cooking, organizing & has plenty of health tips. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
