### 5/5 — Hemmings Muscle Car

*2012-10-11, version 2.3.9*

I love this magazine.  I red it cover to cover in hard copy and now I can take it with me electronically too.   Very clear pictures.  I love being able to zoom in on them.   Getting older now and even need to zoom in on the text at times.   HIGHLY recommend this to anyone with the ability to get it on digital media.

### 5/5 — The best hands down app. Thanks Hemmings!

### 1/5 — Very dissatisfied, disappointed & disgusted customer!!

*2024-08-01*

I’ve been a subscriber to Hemmings Muscle Machines for nearly 20 years, and have been getting the digital versions for 13 years. I’ve always loved the app… until the latest update. Even though my issues were downloaded, I now cannot view them offline. I’ve tried restarting my iPad, deleting, reinstalling & redownloading my issues (even flipping through each page) to no avail. Even worse, 2 of my back issues (December 2013, June 2017) have disappeared completely from the archive-there’s an empty spot. I’m a very patient individual & hate to complain, but this is unacceptable!! Come on now, I paid for those issues. I really hope this is resolved, because this will be enough for me to cancel my auto renewal subscription. 😡
Update: Now this app won’t even F🤬ing ope! How worthless can it be?! I’m so done with it!!!

### 1/5 — Muscle machines app

*2020-08-21*

This app doesn’t even load. After waiting 10 mins, it does nothing.   Happy to take my money and have loads of magazines and I can’t get In to read them anymore.
Very Uni pressed.

### 1/5 — Have to refresh each renewal

*2020-01-07, version 7.0.7*

Love the magazine but it gets more difficult to use. Can’t read newest issues after each renewal. App asks you to 

“Restore” purchases. I do that but they don’t restore immediately. Now they don’t at all. Asks for password. Which password? iTunes? Then it asks for Apple password. Still doesn’t restore. Also all issues are locked. I paid for them! Why are they locked?

### 1/5 — Poor Customer Service

*2016-04-25, version 4.1.0*

Hemmings seems to be the only major magazine that does not forward subscriptions, and then to obtain missed back issues they charge almost double the newstand rate. Terrible service, especially for collectors trying to keep each and every copy. Even "People" magazine forwards their copies.

### 4/5 — As good as the paper product

*2013-10-19, version 3.5.2*

Additional I really appreciate the digit download versions of the Hemmings' magazines.  Being able to view them (the PDF) on the large screen of my iMac is a real joy.  With the app, it's very easy being able to import them through  iTunes and allows me to carry around all the digital issues in one multi-functional device. 

Hopefully, Hemmings will start to offer some unique additional digital materials such as extra photos, perhaps old but still extremely relevant articles from the old SIA magazine and most importantly, the remainder of their special interest automobile magazines beginning with the initial publication issue.   I'd gladly pay additional for those.

### 4/5 — A Hemmings Product

*2013-08-17, version 3.5.2*

Another quality Hemmings product.  Content is focused on muscle cars, including the non-mainstream finds.  Only gripe is the tech, loading each edition, particularly each new month, can be problematic.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-12-26, version 3.5.2*

Best viewing app I've received!

### 5/5 — Ajr auto

*2013-08-31, version 3.5.2*

If you like Detroit muscle you will love this.

### 5/5 — Review

*2013-07-17*

Very interesting and lots of ideas for upgrades as well as memories from when we worked in the dealership back in the early 70s.

Very good quality.

### 5/5 — Muscle Car must!

*2013-04-15, version 3.1.0*

Hemmings magazines are some of the best reads in the auto industry (IMHO), and their Muscle Machines is excellent! It's probably the only magazine I read from cover to cover!

### 5/5 — Awsome Magazine

*2013-04-02, version 3.1.0*

Always loved the magazine, so when I saw they had an app I had to get it and it does not disappoint. Same great magazine now at my fingertips. Works great on my iPad mini.

### 5/5 — Great Magazine

*2013-03-04, version 3.1.0*

Subscriber since issue number 2 but new to an iPad so, I had to get HMM electronically.  Same great magazine, made available on next generation media.

### 5/5 — Hemmings Muscle Machine iPad

*2013-01-01, version 3.1.0*

Great app. Very rarely crashes easy to use, intuitive. Great contents feature for jumping direct to where you want to go. Far and away best way to read Hemmings, better than paper

### 5/5 — Thanks for the memories

*2012-11-30, version 3.1.0*

Thanks

### 5/5 — American Muscle Magazine

*2012-11-27, version 3.1.0*

Best magazine for anyone into American Muscle cars. If you don't read this mag, you're not a serious muscle car enthusiast
