### 1/5 — Reloading for 20 years

*2025-12-15*

Bought 2 subscriptions I still can’t download anything. Making payments for this company for two years now I have a second account with them and it’s still not letting me download anything

### 1/5 — This has turned into a ripoff

*2023-10-09*

I subscribed to the print version from the late 80’s until this app came out. I have subscribed to the online version for the past 10 years. After an update to iOS17, I can’t open any issue. So everything I have paid for for 10 years is no longer available to view. What a ripoff.

### 5/5 — Resource info in hand

*2022-10-24*

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2019-09-20*

I have subscribed to this magazine but when I downloaded the app it does not recognize my subscription.  The same is true with RIFLE magazine.  I have contacted the publisher and they say the problem is with the app.

### 1/5 — Very poor app

*2019-04-25*

Get his app if you like frustration and enjoy trying to work with a poorly designed piece of dreck.

### 4/5 — Hand loader

*2018-11-18*
