### 5/5 — Great

*2024-09-30*

Works like it should.

### 3/5 — Magazine format

*2017-11-12*

The magazine and articles are great but the new format is horrible. It also is not letting me download the new issue even though it was available on my iPhone 3 days ago.

### 2/5 — Great magazine, BUT

*2017-11-10*

Love the magazine and would recommend to anyone that loves guns. However, the new app interface is awful. The way you view the magazine is horrible. Please FIX.

### 1/5 — Bad Load

*2016-08-15*

This app keeps cutting out. I have delete it and reinstall for it to work each time I want to read my magazine! Fix it please or refund me my money!

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2016-04-09*

Unfortunately it's Pocket Mags. Good luck actually being able to download or ready anything you buy. Simply awful. I will not waste anymore money on any magazine accessed through Pocket Mags

### 4/5 — Gun World

*2014-11-18*

This is a very good publication.  Each month it covers a good variety  of subject matter from reloading, concealed carry and new firearms.  There are a lot of ads but that is typical of any magazine, printed or digital.  At least these ads are on subject matter that I like.

### 5/5 — A+++

*2014-10-15*

Come on, it's about guns. Buy a subscription!

### 3/5 — Content

*2014-05-12*

With the switch to digital you would expect there to be more interactive content. I hope in the future they can start incorporating more interactive content.

### 5/5 — My review

*2014-04-07*

Excellent, informative, as a person new to the sport the reviews and information has proven valuable

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money unless you enjoy wasting your time

*2014-02-21*

Any mag subscription that says pocketmags on the screen when you are downloading is awful. Other mags appear instantly and download faster than you can read. These take as many as five minutes to download a SINGLE page. Don't waste your money unless you enjoy wasting your time.
