## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Grow your own

*2020-02-27*

Magazine is a decent read but app is a disaster. Will definitely delete and cancel subscription as company is very poor and disorganised. There are many other gardening magazines to read!

### 1/5 — Ripped off

*2019-03-13*

Stop before you download this app I was just charged £12.98 for a magazine that was advertised as £4.99 per issue. I’ve checked and not ordered two issues or anything daft like that. There’s a bug, awaiting developer feedback.

### 1/5 — Robbery

*2014-03-25*

Would be good if it would allow you to download the mags you've paid for after the update then ignore your emails to sort it. Disgrace

### 1/5 — Not an app

*2014-03-24*

It's just a way of buying issues or subscribing. It has no actual content.

### 1/5 — 2014 Software Update

*2014-02-13*

What an absolute load of rubbish that update was!

Do they not know how to test BEFORE imposing on customers.

And what a dent to the reputation of Apple for letting the release out without proof of function.

The complaint response is woefully slow and erratic.

If you do not retain ALL records of purchase they will not even try to correct the error they created.

When proof is supplied (without any data protection respectability)  do not hold your breath expecting prompt attention.  Also be ready for a monumental task to re-download every issue you want to recover - not a quick process either and only offers one at a time function.

Then after all that - the new software has less functionality - library does not support landscape mode for example.

Seems like the software team do not understand what progress is - heaven knows what will happen next time when they try to fix the deficiencies in this release.

### 1/5 — Subscriptions no longer available

*2014-02-06*

Very poor update. Have lost access to all magazines although I paid for a years subscription. Restoring in-app purchases did not resolve the issue either. All was fine until this update. Please fix ASAP!

### 1/5 — Poor upgrade

*2014-02-03*

The change to the app means that I have lost access to my subscription magazines. So far it's not good, whereas previously I was impressed by the availability of the magazine now I'm disappointed.

### 1/5 — Will not work

*2013-07-18*

I liked the magazine, but for the last 3 months it has not opened. It just keeps saying "updating database" and nothing happens. I am missing out, if you want a magazine your better off buying a hard copy. I paid for a years subscription ( it auto renewed, which is annoying) and now I cannot read them! I want my money back.

### 4/5 — All round good magazine

*2015-06-13*

A good magazine. Some good tips and reminders for the growing season ahead.

### 5/5 — Useful

*2021-03-10*

Along with jumpy army of books and other magazines this is a useful addition. App seems to work okay.

### 5/5 — Excellent magazine

*2017-11-05*

Since the death of Organic Gardening magazine, we in the US have no magazine dedicated to those of us who are “down in the dirt” gardeners.  Grow Your Own fills this niche very nicely - offering practical gardening advice in an entertaining format.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2016-06-03*

This is a great little app for my iPhone.  Handy being able to zoom in on the articles and I use when I'm on the allotment as well.

### 5/5 — Fantastic magazine and App

*2016-05-18*

Great magazine and the app is easy to navigate. Just wish subscribers to the electronic version could still get the free seeds!

### 5/5 — Great Magazine.

*2016-03-06*

Great Magazine.

### 5/5 — PREVIEWS

*2012-06-15*
