In fisherman digital subscription

I have the same problem now in 2024
What a rip off. Love the magazine. But no support for on line services. Will not recommend this site.

What a snore

Previews only? I get the magazine (years) and I was informed that a digital version was available. Three pages of topic related content and 3 pages of ads. That’s? booooo. Delete

It crashes!

The app downloads the issue but then it crashes immediately after that. PLEASE fix this as the iPhone is too small to read on. The online version is SO colorful

Junk

I have a print subscription that was supposed to come with the digital formal as well. I downloaded the app and entered my account number from the front of my print issues. After entering my email and password all it shows are previews. When you click the issue it wants you to buy it again through the apple App Store. Complete junk. Don’t waste your time with these imbeciles.

Does not work

Does not work at all

Don’t waste your time

This app is terrible. I have followed everything advised to get my issues electronically. All I can get is their “preview” and 5 pages with a warning to go to the full edition to see the rest. Well, where is that? This app, is nothing more than a cheap attempt to advertise. If you are looking for electronic access to a subscription you paid for, this isn’t it. I deleted it right after this review and if the mag doesn’t come the snail mail way, soon, I’m cancelling my in fisherman subscription and going elsewhere. Get it right or get out. It’s not that difficult.

Doesn’t work

Set up a digital login. When you try and log into the app all you get is a could not find your details message. What’s the use of having digital access if you vent access it.

I grew up with infisherman

I hope the app is good

Won’t work

Have tried re-setting password a couple of times, but cannot log in. So, no access at all to my digital copies, even though I am a paid subscriber.

Bogus App

Complete fubar. Repeated error message of server unavailable. Can’t login at all. If the magazine is going to tout digital access, it should fix the app.

Terrible App

I love this magazine but judging by my experience and all of the terrible reviews written here they should shut down this app and refund everyone’s money. I have the same problem as most others; a couple of months after subscribing I could no longer access my purchases. Making for an even worse experience, their customer service is shameful. Avoid subscribing digitally to this magazine.

Access stopped - Customer Service Resolved Issue

Access to digital magazines stopped after a few issues with over a year left on paid subscription. Reloaded app to no avail.

Customer service elevated issue internally after recommended fix didn’t work.

Problem resolved within hours of elevating issue.

Updated review from 1 star to 4.

Content still gets a 5.

App stopped working after 2.0.4

Was locked out of in fisherman magazine after version 2.0.4. Called customer service twice and sent email to get help. As stated problem would be resolved with in 48 hours. It has now been a month and no one from customer service has gotten back to me. Yesterday I switched from digital to snail mail magazine. In fisherman magazine is best fishing magazine I have found. Customer service and digital magazine is awful.

My In-Fisherman subscription is paid until 2020. Recent upgrades to the app now prevents me from reading articles on my IPhone. I’ve followed the instructions still I am not able to get in. I called the (800) number and the women could not resolve the problem. The bigger problem is that I could not understand her broken English. I want a full refund.

Works on phones now

Version 2.0 is out it works fine on iPhone now, not just iPad. I signed up today, was reading some online article on the website and got a super cheap offer for a digital subscription. Within minutes I was reading the latest edition and it looks just like a magazine.

Plus and minus It does keep the same formatting as the magazine so I can’t change the font size, but I can zoom in fine so even though it’s a little tight on the little screen of my SE, it works fine enough. But on the plus side it does look very ascetically pleasing.

Only issue I’ve had is (and it may be there and missed it) I can’t find how to download the magazine for offline viewing and the office I have the most downtime at doesn’t have much cell reception but that’s not a huge issue I mean I have LTE at all but the most remote of my fishing spots, dead spots like mine are becoming a historical issue.

Garbage

Paid $11.99 for a year subscription but this app doesn’t recognize that so basically I wasted $11.99.

Problems continue

Like other reviews, I still do not have full access to the content despite purchasing my subscription two weeks ago. Support is equally frustrating as they dismiss the inadequacy of their digital mag app. In Fisherman has phenomenal content and one of the best TV shows. Expected far better from them with this app.

Fraud app

Fraud app

Very frustrating

So I did this app and the regular In-Fisherman Panfish app. I then had to create an account, so fair. But I apparently need to create another account because app 2 won’t recognize the account created in app 1 but when you go to create the second account it takes you to a screen that recognizes the account from app 2. You still not able to login on app 2 because the app doesn’t recognize the account from app 1 (unless you try to create a second account). Sound frustrating?

Digital Version Does Not Work

Agree with other reviewer’s comments. Don’t waste your $ getting digital version since it doesn’t work on either iPhone or iPad! What makes it even worse is that they do not have anyway to contact customer service either by phone or email to get help! I set up Account info and it shows me that I’ve signed in yet it locks me out of all content beyond the Table of Contents. Buyer Beware! Would give it 0 Stars if I could!
