### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-06-02*

As others have mentioned, this app and the interface is worthless.  I clicked the “Buy 1 month subscription” button and was charged $2.99. I have access to NOTHING.  To top things off, what little I can see of the old, free magazines are only readable in a portrait format on an iPad.   If the developers want to contact me and tell me where my $2.99 went perhaps I’ll change the review, but right now…it ain’t lookin’ good!

### 5/5 — Iraq

*2022-05-20, version 5.8.1*

IAM very interesting with this reading for more informatics thank u.

### 1/5 — Why do I lose access to issues I paid for when my subscription expires📑?

*2022-01-13, version 5.8*

This is unacceptable!

### 1/5 — Even after you subscribe it'll still ask you to subscribe or purchase

*2021-12-31, version 5.8*

Like the title reads, even if you "Restore purchase", exit out the app, or even reinstall the app the issue persists.  What's worse is when contacting the support HackSpace Magazine said they are unable to support the digital subscription and to contact support from Apple's App Store.  

Apple doesn't produce the magazine so they obviously can't do anything to get the "App" to work.   I requested a refund from Apple and awaiting their response.
