Best keep your money.

Had no end of problems and currently still unable to read the publication due to an error script! Customer Service somewhat lacking. The interface from what I can see is poor. Asked for a refund but nothing happened as yet. Just the same standard stock email sent to me, didn’t offer any constructive advice on how to resolve the login issues.

I love the content in this magazine but wish website links were actually linked to the associated websites.

Can’t view the majority of my purchases

I have been subscribing via the app and despite phoning and emailing both Apple and the magazine several times, they have never dealt with it. Effectively they have stolen my money and there is nothing I can do about it. Beware.
