### 2/5 — Not able to sign in

*2023-03-26, version 4.4.0*

I got this app so I could view my high times subscription on the go, however, I’m unable to sign in with my correct account details, it just says “user not found”. I’m not sure if this app is for US only accounts or if the app needs some tweaks? At the moment this app is just sitting on my iPhone as I can’t use it without being able to sign in. (I sign in on the website fine)

### 1/5 — Old?!

*2023-01-22, version 4.4.0*

I only see articles from 2-3 years ago. Did they shutdown operations a while back?

### 1/5 — Very Disappointed

*2021-06-09, version 4.3.0*

I purchased a 1 yr. magazine subscription im Feb. of 2021 in early March of 2021 I decided it was not 4 me and i x’lld it. I’ve been waiting since for a refund of the unused portion of the subscription.  I finally got in touch w/The office Mgr there Jean Daniels and she offered nothing but excuses and became defensive when i asked about getting my refund. She was also rude to me w.her tone of voice and mannerisms used. I x’lled it in early March today id June 9th and I still don’t have the refund.  I’ve submitted a complaint w/the FTC and the BBB im going to let them handle it from here.  I’m done w/you High Times Mag.

### 1/5 — Paid for a year

*2021-04-28, version 4.3.0*

Paid for a year but only got 3 issues before the app wanted me to buy per issue again.

### 1/5 — Billing issue

*2021-04-25, version 4.3.0*

I purchased a one year subscription in january 2021. Starting with the spril issue my subscription is not being honored, even though Inpaid in advance fir one year.

### 1/5 — No updates

*2020-08-17, version 4.2.0*

Paid for a 12 month subscription but it hasn’t updated since April

### 1/5 — Substandard magazine

*2020-06-16, version 4.1.0*

I’ve subscribed to this magazine for the pas 3 years. It seems to be getting more and more boring articles in it.
Less information of growing or other information on seed banks and coffee shops.

But 2020 is beyond a joke I haven’t received my May issue and we are half way in June.

### 1/5 — Subscriptions don’t work

*2019-07-04, version 4.0.4*

Pay for annual but doesn’t work

### 2/5 — High Times App

*2019-04-14, version 3.4*

The app crashes a lot. It is not very easy to find titles or page numbers.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-03-22, version 3.4*

App crashes every 2 mins can’t even read a article

### 3/5 — Fix Your App

*2019-03-06, version 3.4*

Something is wrong with your digital platform. If I buy an issue through the app, the cover and all of the ads contained within will load no problem, but the moment you get to a page containing actual content, the articles within, I get “wheel of deathed.” The load wheel starts spinning amidst a white backdrop and no content ever loads. I have literally allowed it hours to process and no article will ever shows up. So basically you are paying money to behold a shiny cover and a flipbook of abs, but no actual substance, and I am very displeased, because it has been like this for over a year since I first downloaded it, and no one has fixed it.

### 1/5 — Worst ever

*2018-12-31, version 3.4*

Don’t bother wasting your time with this subscription. I got the subscription bc the language they use makes it appear as though once you subscribe you will have full access to the library. Not the case. It allowed me to download two random magazines, the Dec 2017 and the Feb 2019. I cannot read my issue of Dec 2018 and the amount of time I have spent trying to contact High Times to cancel my subscription and get my money back is also a GD joke. Hey HIGH TIMES, please feel free to reach out to me so I can cancel my subscription.

### 1/5 — Misleading headlines, terrible basic content ADtastic

*2018-11-28, version 3.4*

Deeply disappointing and a complete waste of money.
Misleading headlines, terrible sparse basic content, Adverts, advertorials, really really poor.
I actually am shocked how bad this publication is.  
Subscription also does not acquire access to back issues.

Prestigious name being cashed in on

### 1/5 — Still not working

*2018-11-01, version 3.4*

I downloaded this app over a month ago. Called Apple tried everything still not working....Total Bummer

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load articles

*2018-10-22*

On my Iphone i can’t read the magazine, because the articles don’t load.
It only shows me the adds.
Very Sad.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2018-10-09, version 3.4*

Just loaded the 3.4 version of this app and a 2 finger zoom crashes every time. Just paid for a full year and can't read my mag.

Way to go High Times

*2026-04-29, version 4.4.9*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2026-01-02, version 4.4.7*

Don’t suscribe they will charge you for ever and they will never cancel your subscription. I have to contest it every year

### 1/5 — Can’t get in

*2025-04-26, version 4.4.6*

Can’t get in sent several requests to reset password, never get the email back

### 1/5 — What is going on

*2025-02-07, version 4.4.5*

Pay for the magazine but I never get the new issues and always have a hard time accessing through the app when there is an issue on it. Also, what is going on with the lack of new magazines?

### 1/5 — App has issues

*2025-01-31, version 4.4.5*

This app is terrible it doesn't allow me to log in. Never loads anything. Fix this !

### 1/5 — App is buggy

*2023-12-15, version 4.4.1*

Most of the time you can’t read the latest issue it comes up with error while trying to download.

### 1/5 — Constantly forgetting my subscription

*2023-12-10, version 4.4.1*

Read a few issues and now I can’t read any more.  I have an active monthly subscription.  I’ll tried to restore subscription on the app several times over the past few days; nothing.

This is honestly theft and Apple needs to step in.  If you can’t create an app that can secure your content AND not lock out your paying customers, then stop selling subscriptions, simple as that.

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2023-10-15, version 4.4.1*

High times magazine is a rip off you will pay for a magazine subscription and never receive not even 1 magazine    I have reached out to high times magazine via email phone calls.   Even left a message for there HR department. No response back not refunded for my subscription or even a freaking email.  Save your money man you don’t need to blow it on these con artists

### 1/5 — Beware

*2023-04-01, version 4.4.0*

Had a subscription, but suddenly was unable to download any issues, including issues I had archived. The app gets stuck on restoring purchases and won’t download anything. This is theft if it doesn’t get fixed.

### 1/5 — Don’t Buy

*2023-02-10, version 4.4.0*

I wish that I had read the reviews. I thought this app would be the same as the archive website. I subscribed, thinking that it was $2 cheaper than the website because sometimes you get discounts when using apps. No. If you subscribe on the app you get nothing. I can access one magazine. That’s it. There’s no way to even contact anyone for support. It’s ridiculous. I am so disappointed and angry to be out $2.99. Wow.

### 5/5 — Must Have App

*2017-11-08, version 3.2*

An absolute must have for everyone from casual smokers to wake and bakers, from medicinal to recreational. Anyone with any interest in marijuana culture at all needs this magazine in their life. Also, the app means I don't have to carry a hard copy around, perfect. I'll be recommending this to everyone :)

### 5/5 — No articles load

Edited: I had to come back and change this review. I deleted the app and re-downloaded it and everything worked beautiful.
