### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2026-01-07, version 3.19.12*

I appreciate being able to read Genii & Magic on my iPhone. The reason I didn’t give the app 5 stars is that I’d like to have an easier way to get to specific back-issues, like the menu Genii has on their website. I’ve never had a problem, however, with the loading speed of any issue I’ve tried to access.

### 3/5 — Great if all you want to do is read the latest issue

*2022-07-19, version 3.6.05*

First, kudos to Genii for making all back issues of Genii and Magic Magazine available. It had to have been a monumental undertaking.

I enjoy going back to old issues both to read and to reminisce. Unfortunately, even if I leave the app open to the page I was reading, when I come back to the app it defaults to the latest issue, and it’s up to me to remember which year and which issue I was reading.

This problem may very well be out of Genii’s hands if they are using a third party to develop the app, but come on guys! It’s 2022! It shouldn’t be an insurmountable hurdle to program the app to remember where you were.

5 stars for providing the content, 2 stars for user-friendliness.

### 4/5 — Mr P Smith

*2022-01-23, version 3.5.07*

Great Mag only comment is the feature story’s are usually a bit to lengthy could do with editing maybe fit another article in

### 5/5 — Great Digital Version

*2021-10-06, version 3.2.64*

Besides offering the full print magazine, the digital version of Genie has links and extras which enhance the readers experience.

### 5/5 — So convenient!

*2021-09-10, version 3.2.64*

So convenient to have it on my phone.

### 5/5 — Love the improved digital version

*2021-06-26, version 3.2.64*

Navigation is easier and embedded videos play nicely. As a subscriber for over 40 years, I never thought I’d forego paper, but I have.

### 5/5 — Great site and magazine

*2021-05-29, version 3.2.64*

This is a much needed distraction during a time of need.

### 5/5 — Well done App

*2021-05-27, version 3.2.64*

I look forward to another edition every month...and looking up old ones in the archives.

### 4/5 — Great

*2017-01-19, version 2.6.67*

Great app, a little slow to load pages and navigation isn't super user-friendly but it's good otherwise.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Please fix this app…

*2025-01-25, version 3.17.05*

…by throwing it out and starting over. Whoever designs this thing has clearly never used an iPad, or even a Kindle.

### 1/5 — App is painful to use

*2024-09-07*

Love the magazine. But whoever codes this app has apparently never used an iPad before. Will Genie Corp ever make this app better or do they know they have a captive audience and thus don’t care?

### 1/5 — Love the content but HATE the app

*2020-03-21, version 2.9.37*

For such a high quality magazine it’s trully a shame that the app is not kept up to its high standards

Kaufman and Co, I’d be happy to provide my Product Management experience to help improve the app and experience. If interested get in touch.... or just keep disapoinint your readers!

I don’t know what’s up with the April 2020 issue but it’s making the poor performace of the app even worst! 

And I just noticed that the app last update was over a year ago???

### 1/5 — Broken!!!

*2019-02-27, version 2.9.37*

The app can’t connect to the server to log me in.  So currently it’s completely broken.

### 2/5 — Great content, lousy app

*2021-04-02, version 3.2.64*

The app was recently updated, and, amazingly, almost all of the issues below still apply.
In addition, issues of Magic Magazine are no longer listed as expected.

This app is badly in need of an update.

It frequently doesn’t remember the last issue being read.
It doesn’t remember the last page being read when the app is restarted or the issue is reloaded.
There are constant nag messages about there being a new issue; if I’m reading an older issue, the assumption should be that I want to continue reading it.

Users have no way to pick out older issues without scrolling through many screens each time.

There is plenty of screen real estate that is wasted with toolbars that should be hidden most of the time.

Users do not need arrows to tell them to scroll to other pages.

There are plenty of other UI improvements possible but above are the most obvious to anybody who uses the app for a minute or two.

The biggest problem is that all of these issues should have been addressed years ago.

### 2/5 — Pretty bad

*2021-02-03, version 2.9.37*

I bought a three year digital subscription on the strength of the app. I figured being able to read it on my pad would be convenient and save paper. The app is not fit for purpose. It constantly loses text, leaving you with blank pages then just shuts down, throwing you out. When it does work it is clunky and not an easy read. All inI wish I hadn’t bothered.

### 2/5 — Wonderful magazine but terrible app

*2020-12-28, version 2.9.37*

Honestly, I love the magazine but the app is not usable. It crashes continously and sometimes the links are broken.
Moreover what will happen when my subscription expires? I lose all the content I have bought?
They can improve it... A lot...

### 2/5 — Great magazine, shame about the app

*2020-01-09, version 2.9.37*

I have been reading Genii for years and it is the best Magic mag about. Because I travel a lot, the digital edition is more convenient than print. What a shame that the App is so clunky. The presentation is 1960’s style, some achievement, given that we’ve only had App’s for 10 years. Please update this.

### 2/5 — App is painful to use

*2018-12-14, version 2.6.83*

Love the magazine. But whoever codes this app has apparently never used an iPad before.

### 2/5 — Buggy and sluggish

*2018-02-01, version 2.6.83*

I think things got worse at the time when Magic magazine was added.  It’s become unworkable for older Genii issues as it takes too many down swipes to get older issues.  The app frequently crashes which returns you to cover of the current mag.  Many Magic issues do not load.  This app is only tolerable for reading recent issues.  Help applies mostly to web pages not app.

Love being able to read Genii on my devices. I don’t need to carry the magazine with me.

### 5/5 — Great way to read on the move

*2024-01-29*

Fantastic way to keep every month with you!

### 5/5 — Genii Best Overall History Reference

*2023-11-05, version 3.8.25*

*2023-08-06, version 3.6.24*

Wealth of knowledge!

### 5/5 — Fantastic magazine

*2022-10-17*

A great periodical. Good content. Even the ads are for relevant shows and products. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-09-27, version 3.6.05*

Not only is Genii a great magazine for magicians, it’s a well designed app that allows for simple navigation through the magazine. We’ll done!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-02-13, version 3.5.07*

Great app for viewing my Genii magazine and all the back copies of Genii and Magic magazines
