### 1/5 — Impossible to subscribe

*2026-06-23, version 34.1*

I’ve tried numerous times to activate my subscription and use the app without success.  Staff very apologetic however still not resolved after 18 emails.  Have cancelled, shame as looked like good magazine

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-03-02, version 34.1*

App can’t link my subscription therefore I can’t see anything on it

### 2/5 — Great Magazine but TERRIBLE APP

*2026-01-06*

There’s no excuse for this app

### 1/5 — Active subscription blocked by “Must have subscription” error - support ignored evidence

*2025-04-24*

With an active subscription, the bottom half of every page is covered with a message stating, "To view this content, you must have an active subscription," followed by "Success." Responses from Customer Support have been useless - e.g., they replied with the same link I had already sent them, ignoring the screenshot showing my subscription was active.

### 1/5 — Design

*2025-03-29*

I am unable to read H&G on your app to which I have subscribed and it is very frustrating - also unable to contact support.

### 1/5 — ‘There is a connection error’

*2025-01-28, version 33.6*

App clearly not running properly. Cannot activate account even though I have paid for a subscription. I have tried many times to gain access and the same message keeps coming up ^ … I have tried several WiFi connections and 4G. It is not a connection error. CN customer service really not helpful… don’t waste your time!

### 1/5 — Can’t activate account

*2025-01-20, version 33.6*

Called customer service to help they can’t help at all, this app is pointless really

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-01-18*

I bought subscription through iTunes and essentially through $100 in the toilet. The app does not work. There is absolutely zero help from them and like previous subscribers have mentioned I go into a single circular zoo of British Vogue and not Housing garden which I paid for my subscription for what a waste.

### 1/5 — Once I am able to access my subscription

*2025-01-06*

I hope that once I am able to access my subscription that it will be worth it - but I have never had so much trouble accessing an App. It just doesn’t work - and I am person who works on computers all the time and have lost of digital subscriptions.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-01-04, version 33.5*

App constantly logs out and loses the info plus login doesn’t work most of the time. No help with support email. Wouldn’t bother with this you can never access the magazine!
