## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t download magazine

*2020-07-19*

This app is horrible I recommend buying the physical copy. Magazine won’t download and wasted 3.99.

### 1/5 — Great mag, horrible app

*2019-10-28*

App takes over 5 min just let me view my purchased magazines. Horrible navigation to find the mag I am looking for. Canceled my subscription.

### 1/5 — Slow

*2014-12-13*

Given that I am unable to download magazines I had paid for because the publisher changed apps and expected Customers to contact Apple for a refund, I would not go anywhere near this publication.

### 3/5 — Mediocre

*2017-05-20*

Generally good subjects, but the writing is uninspired much of the time, and downright awful occasionally. Better editing is definitely required, if only to avoid typos and grammar mistakes. I was prompted to leave this review because, for the first time, I stopped reading an article halfway through because of the poor English and confusing structure. Please try harder, the topics deserve it.

### 4/5 — Oops

*2020-04-20*

The AppStore asked for a review at the very same time the tried to sell me issues I already have- everything about this app is quite good except for the aggressive marketing- today was not the first time but it was certainly bad timing. Re: Content it’s one of my favorite magazines.

### 4/5 — Great read with good selection of topics.

*2017-07-13*

Title says it all. Very good mixture of topics covering warfare throughout the ages. Worth it if you're into your military history.

### 5/5 — Beware missing purchases

*2017-03-27*

This app updated in March 2017 and refused to download some of the magazines I had previously purchased no matter how many times I tried by following their instructions. Email to developer only responded to by auto response. Called to UK to talk to them and the developer offered zero help. Buyer beware.

### 5/5 — History of war

*2016-05-17*

Very interesting ...like it a lot.

### 5/5 — Clear Graphics & Not Too Academic But Not Dumb Either

*2016-03-26*

Excellent app. No technical issues either.

### 5/5 — Informative but not overly complicated

*2015-06-10*

The magazine does a good job to put together a variety of topics each issue without being caught up into the minutiae found un many military history mags.  Look forward to each issue, and I frequently use them in the classes I teach.

## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — John Bhoy

*2015-01-29*

I recently requested crime history and was really pleased to see Jack the Ripper the first crime magazine thank you and hope to see more in the future.

### 5/5 — Superb magazine

*2015-01-15*

Lavish, informative, and made with real passion. And the new digital format is much better than previously
