Fonts too small!

This looks like an interesting zine but the font is too small for my tired old eyes, even when I set the font size as large as possible. I use it on an I-pad..

Basic functions don‘t work

Saw the print copy in the bookstore and wanted to subscribe. Created an account online, tried to login to the app, could not find my account. Tried to purchase a subscription with ApplePay, repeatedly denied. Sorry, your competitor‘s app works fine, so I am using that instead.

Fantastic magazine and learning tool

Hiragana Times is very well put together with both excellent writing and Japanese/English translation and audio. So helpful for both the Japanese learner and anyone interested in Japan!

Beware

If you subscribe then download issues to read later, those issues all disappear when your subscription period ends!!!
So even though you paid for them they are stolen back .
The issues covering the subscription period should be perpetually available to customers.
Better to get the paper versions instead of this robbery.
I subscribed for one year but will never subscribe again.

Settings not in english

Settings should be in English. I'm learning japanese and the settings are sometimes in kanji, that's not normal because this app is not intended to japanese readers but to foreigners who are learning japanese...

App does not work.

Trying to set up an account but there is no prompt for setting up a password?

Doesn’t work at all

I was given an annual subscription in October but three months later I cannot open a single magazine。massively flawed and I’ve been conned out of a year’s subscription cost,!

App cannot open

アプリ使えない。
お金かかったのに、サービス使えないなんかショックだった。

Unable to login

App can not log in.

The magazine is pretty good but the app is not good

The magazine is pretty good but the app is not good in that it requires an internet connection to read. I am stuck on a train (or a plane) without internet and I can’t read the magazine. And this means if I do not renew the subscription I’ll lose access to all the contents. I did not expect that. Should have went for the paper version.

:(

Cannot even register

It does not work at all!

I have tried for almost two hours trying to log in from my IPhone, it seems this app does not work at all, the worst part is that you have charged me for subscription of your magazine, but I can not read the magazine from my windows computer, and either from this app, I can’t believe you guys would put this app on the market! I want my money back, if you cannot solve this problem!

Subscription does not work

I have had a paper subscription in the past and loved hiragana times. I thought the App would be great, but the subscription has not worked. I contacted them, no answer…. Please fix this!!

Doesn’t work

It worked fine when it was time to take my money but not so much when I tried to use it.

Audio doesn’t work

Touts recordings but none of them work. What should be a play button is just a blank, unresponsive red button

App not working on IPad Air

Although the App Store mentions that the app is compatible with IPad Air, it does not open.

Rubbish app

Even u just can’t register and log in, the simplest thing in the world.
Register or log in by Google or Facebook account is user friendly and why just adopt it? I deleted this app immediately
