### 2/5 — Rubbish app. Good magazine

*2025-08-14*

The app Has regularly stopped working. Delete app. Reload. Re login. Sigh. Now that isn’t working and I’m frozen out of subscription with no way to access the titles. 
Very bored of this.

### 4/5 — Great Site

*2025-03-07*

Opportunities to win & also receive special offers. As well as great magazine content!

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review. We’re pleased to know that you're satisfied with the app, and your feedback motivates us to continue improving the experience for all our users.

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2024-03-21*

Perfect to stay up to date with the latest lifestyle news and offers

**Developer response:** Thank you for your positive feedback! We appreciate your kind words and are very pleased that you had a great experience with us. We strive to provide the best customer service and we are pleased to hear that we succeeded. Thank you again!

### 4/5 — Love Grazia

*2020-02-11*

Great mag for the celeb gossip and fashion.
A good read each week, I get it every Tuesday

**Developer response:** Hi JimboFoz, it is great to hear you are enjoying the app. Thank you so much for your support and taking the time to leave your feedback. Kind regards

### 4/5 — Brilliant but just one thing doesn’t work consistently!

*2018-11-02*

I would rate it a 5 if you could fix the ‘shop this page’ pop up. Not all the time it loads all the items and the exit icon (X) doesn’t appear. Even if the images don’t load please can we have an exit option as it freezes and I have to shut down the app properly and then find where I left of from!

Apart from that an epic coverage of fashion, politics, beauty and relevant subject matters that are very thought provoking! 

Fix that page please!!!!

### 5/5 — Witty Glamorous Feminist

*2017-12-26*

A smart little App with loads of Fashion news, ten hot Stories - partly political, partly celeb news - and what else is being discussed among women, summed up in a clever way.
Five Stars / Thumbs Up

### 5/5 — 👍

*2017-12-05*

I’ve only just discovered Grazia’s mag app. The way it’s designed for my phone makes it really easy to read. If fashion, beauty, celebrity stories is you’re thing then you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Text on the photos is annoying

*2017-05-16, version 2.0.13*

Love Grazia. App is good, but when click into photos to zoom they are obscured by the text descriptions. 

Also, the scrolling up and down often doesn't "flow", and often will take to next page. Even when done slowly.

### 1/5 — What's Up?

*2017-04-23*

Worked beautifully for several months then 2weeks ago it stopped working. Being charged a weekly fee even though I have a 2mth subscription. "Not happy Jan"

### 4/5 — Ms

*2017-04-09, version 2.0.13*

I look forward to seeing Grazia at the beginning of a long working week and then planning how to spend my hard earned money!

### 1/5 — Haven’t received my magazine!

*2023-06-23, version 10.4*

Subscribed to beauty club had No magazine yet signed up 5th June, is now 23 June! No one responds to my emails so sad!!

### 1/5 — New app is rubbish

*2023-01-19*

This app used to be good. It’s now full of bugs. You can no longer buy a single issue, app sends you on a never ending loop of logins. Only option is to purchase an expensive membership.

### 1/5 — Upgraded version not working

*2022-05-03*

Never had any problems until I was told to upgrade.  The new version is not fit for purpose and I won’t be renewing my subscription

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback! We're very sorry for any problems that occured with the new Update. We will do our best and work on it.

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2022-03-24, version 10.1*

Hey I subscribe but it won’t let me read without having to rebuy  a copy x

### 1/5 — Repeated problems with app and payments

*2020-11-08*

Despite having an annual subscription I am unable to access the issues without further payment requested. I’ve followed the instructions on the app and contacted Bauer media with no response and no luck.

**Developer response:** Hi ktread1975, I am sorry to hear of the problems you went through accessing your issues, thank you for taking the time to let us know. Our customer support has been very busy lately, so I can only ask you to be patient. In case you are still without access, please send us a line at appsupport_uk@bauermedia.com, and then we hope you can read the issue soon! Kind regards

### 1/5 — Do not download

*2020-06-04*

So disappointing second time I’ve downloaded and every article is at least half missing!

**Developer response:** Hi buzz in kef, thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are really sorry that the articles are not fully loaded. Unfortunately I can't help you with that, please contact appsupport_uk@bauermedia.com. Kind regards

### 1/5 — Terrible To Read On Tablet

*2019-04-22*

It's one of the few, if not the only magazine I subscribe to that doesn't allow pinching to images to enlarge image and text. The magazine has evolved since I first purchased it when it was released in the U.K. and not in a good way. It has came down in sophistication to what I get from other weeklies. Motherhood, celebrities, feminism, and typical royalty tat. Not interested. And have ceased my subscription.

### 1/5 — Unfriendly app

*2019-03-12*

Does not recognise one’s subscription easily. Only asking you to purchase yet again the magazine online

**Developer response:** Hi Labsey, thank you for contacting us about this.  I realize we are a bit late to catch up, but if you are still having trouble accessing your subscription and wish to continue reading, please contact us at: appsupport_uk@bauermedia.com We'd be happy to hear from you. Kind regards

### 1/5 — Problem with payments

*2018-12-10*

I have an annual subscription which that app points out when I click on annual subscription but then when I try and download the latest issue I get charged £1.99. This is happening week after week. Please fix ASAP!

### 1/5 — Do not download the update!

*2017-07-20*

The previous version worked perfectly fine. After downloading the new one it logs you out and you have to follow extremely painful and unnecessary process to create a new account and log in. I have a 1 year subscription expiring in February and cannot access my account due to the fact that I don't know some lengthy customer number that was supposed to be provided in an email when I bought it in Feb this year. I have deleted that email and all subsequent spam fro Grazia. That means I cannot access the issues I paid for! Through my money away!!!

**Developer response:** Hi there
I'm sorry that you are experiencing problems with accessing your Grazia subscription in the new app.
Let's get this sorted for you asap.
Please can you email digitalmagazinesupport@bauermedia.co.uk with your name and postcode and we'll get you your customer number for you, so you can create your account and reactivate your subscription.
We'll also be happy to extend your sub for a month FOC to say sorry for the hassles caused.
We agree that the process of 'creating an account' in the new app for all customers who have previously purchased a sub via our own Great Magazines website is not ideal. However, in order to update the software and move the digital edition of Grazia forwards, we didn't have a choice and it was necessary. With the correct customer number it should only take a couple of minutes to complete the process. We have endeavoured to reach out to all customers affected and have emailed and sent letters in the post informing them of these changes.
We look forward to hearing from you and once more, apologise for any difficulties caused - Jim, Head of ePublishing, Bauer Media
PS: iTunes customers please note, you are not affected by this

### 5/5 — Loved Grazia for years and still do!

*2026-05-26*

I’m 57 now and love this magazine above any of the others out there! Gives you great tips on style and love the beauty magazine. Loved that you put Helen Mirren on a recent edition. Would you consider a 57 year old with some fashion sense! 😃
Grazia for me!

*2025-10-21*

I am really enjoying the app as I’ve been buying the magazine for years. It gives great tips for styling etc and I have access to back catalogues too

### 5/5 — Loved Grazia for years and still do!

*2025-07-20, version 10.8*

I’m 56 now and love this magazine above any of the others out there! Gives you great tips on style and love the beauty magazine. Loved that you put Helen Mirren on a recent edition. Would you consider a 56 year old with some fashion sense! 😃Everything Grazia for me!

### 5/5 — Thoroughly enjoyable

*2025-04-23*

Subscribed for the first time to Grazia after reading a copy that was lying on a table at work. Absolute great read.  Literally read it on my iPhone and also at home with the hard copy. (Istill like to flick through a magazine as I’m a bit old school like that.)

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted to hear you’re enjoying Grazia both digitally and in print. If you ever need any assistance, feel free to reach out!

### 5/5 — Favourite magazine

*2024-07-09*

I have brought Grazia since it started and I look forward to it every month. It has great articles which relate to what is going on at the time. I am 76 so I know I am not their regular type of reader but it keeps up to date. Well done Grazia team you are doing a fantastic job. 😁💖💖💖 Carol Wright

**Developer response:** Hello Carol. Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate your positive review and it's nice to have you as a customer :)

### 5/5 — My Fashion Overdose!!

*2023-11-09*

Love love love !!! This magazine, been reading for years. A little bit of everything packed into one well presented glossy piece of fabulousness.

### 5/5 — A lot of glitches

*2021-09-06*

I love this magazine and have always fought hard to read it on the app due to issues like sentences not finishing. Since the latest upgrade I have found a lot more problems and glitches with this so I am surprised it went backwards rather than forwards.

### 5/5 — Love the app!

*2019-04-25*

Great app, love the content. Would definitely recommend 😊

**Developer response:** Hi N.Ellis, it is great to hear you are enjoying the app. Thanks so much for your support and taking the time to leave your feedback!

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2018-01-26, version 7.6.2*

Brightens my Tuesday!!

### 5/5 — Love shopping the Fashion & Beauty charts!! ❤️

*2018-01-12*

Cannot get enough of Grazia! A fantastic news read and I love the fact that I can tap a product and shop it straight away. The fashion & beauty charts is bad for my bank account... but the shop the page feature helps me get there first every Tuesday. 💁‍♀️ I was surprised at how well this app works on my iPhone actually. So much better than all the other fashion mags ❤️ thank you Grazia!
