### 1/5 — No magazines available since December 2024 despite subscription

*2025-04-02, version 7.2.4*

I have been a subscriber via the App Store for many years. My last 12 month subscription began in June 2024 but there have been no editions since December. Effectively meaning that I have only received half of my paid for product

Despite managing efforts, the publisher and owner of the app fires not respond to any requests for explanation or support

Do Not Subscribe!

### 1/5 — Seriously buggy

*2021-01-26, version 6.0.0*

Running this on and iPad Pro and it is horrendous. Constant network error pop ups that can’t be dismissed, poor scrolling performance.

### 1/5 — AVOID AVOID AVOID

*2018-12-14, version 6.0.0*

Subscribed in February 2018, STILL HAVEN’T RECEIVED LOGIN DETAILS AFTER 10 MONTHS! Contacted Media 10 every week to enquire about when I will receive login details, THEY DON’T CARE! APPALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE

### 1/5 — Grand Interactive Magazine

*2018-03-26*

You're offering 'Grand Design Interactive Magazine' for free but you won't let me view this unless I buy a subscription. Why ???

### 1/5 — No Grand Design

*2017-01-30, version 4.9.94*

I tried the interactive version then gave up and went to the ordinary digital edition of the magazine.  Still jerky page turning and, even more infuriating, you don't get any of the supplements throughout the year that print users get.  I have tried to email the magazine about this on several occasions but they don't bother replying.  Such arrogance.  I won't be renewing.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2016-12-24, version 4.9.94*

The app crashes, doesn't show all purchased issues, and the ads aggressively pop up and unable turn pages. I will cancel my subscription.

### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2016-07-12, version 4.9.94*

I love the Grand Designs programme and magazine and have used this app for quite a while. The recent update has made it almost unusable. I have struggled to read the latest edition without it crashing or freezing. The adverts are "jumpy" and refuse to turn the page. I am seriously thinking of claiming my subscription back as the app at this present time doesn't work!

### 2/5 — Unreliable and awkward to use

*2016-02-03, version 2.7*

The free sample crashes the app when it it tries to download it. Navigation through the paid content is cumbersome.

### 1/5 — Crash, Crash, Crash

*2016-01-24, version 2.7*

Most unreliable app ever downloaded. Removed from my iPad pro after 2 mins and 5 crashes...

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2015-09-15, version 2.6*

I'm a subscriber to GDM - old fashioned paper format. Downloaded app - unable to download any of the issues (free, paid, current, back, etc). Pointless app.
