This app pushs expensive app store apps! *2025-01-14* if you’re looking for iPhone or iPad tips, Apple provides their own tips app that will pop up when new tips are available or open the app to whatever it is, you’re trying to accomplish. Wow this app regurgitate some of the same information you’ll find in the Apple app that is totally free, they like to push you into expensive alternative apps for all kinds of features and activities that almost always involve expensive monthly fees. These monthly fees are what’s knowing as recurring revenue for both the app maker and of course, iPhone Life it all costs! Everything they offer is available for free using the Apple Tips app! ### 3/5 — Help *2024-11-23* I have a subscription but it wont load on the app. It says it will take a few mins but never occurs. ### 2/5 — App tough to navigate!!! *2024-10-02* App tough to navigate!!! ### 2/5 — Ads *2024-09-22* I can’t enlarge the ads to read them in the iPhone. ### 1/5 — ***** WARNING. Don’t buy. Junk app***** *2017-11-10, version 29* Downloaded the app, charged the subscription fee, can’t access anything. Deleted, downloaded, now crashes my i6 when I try anything. Contacted customer service. No response!! Garbage app!! 3 days in, still no response 11.10.17 still crashing my phone Russ ### 1/5 — Good to Bad to worse!! Waste! *2017-02-16, version 29* Good articles bring you in to the App (they dont tell you it cost money) , then the app doesnt manage them well with all bugs and missteps mentioned. now it appears they have abandoned their subscribers with a "take the money and run" strategy and it's difficult to unsubscribe. This gives Apple a bad name!! ### 1/5 — Scammers *2016-09-26, version 29* They make it hard to unsubscribe. ### 1/5 — iPhone 6app doesn't work *2016-08-06* Don't buy this magazine in this form I've paid £9.99 for a years subscription and I can't even look at one magazine ### 1/5 — Need A Subscription *2016-04-11, version 29* Useless without a subscription. ### 2/5 — Great Content, Poor Delivery *2016-04-03, version 29* Great content and articles, but two issues with delivery. First, the magazine does not remember the page I stopped reading at. Second, when turning pages, the hyperlinks on the page appear momentarily highlighted yellow and then go away. Distracting... Other than the two above issues, content is excellent. ### 2/5 — Annoyed *2016-03-20, version 29* I've had a subscription to this Magazine for the last 2 years and received a new issue every 2 months. The new cover says spring, so I'm assuming they dropped from 6 issues a year to 4 with quarterly releases. Had I known that I wouldn't have subscribed. This will be my last year subscribing to iPhone life magazine. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Difficult reading *2026-05-19* Just cont conducive to reading on an iPhone. I’d prefer hard copy reading ### 1/5 — I want a refund *2025-03-03* I’m not happy with this app. Information provided is irrelevant to me and I’d be better off with a user manual. ### 1/5 — Junk *2023-11-13* I paid a subscription in April 2023. Got 2 magazines then lost all access to magazines. Won’t even show the two I had. I have talked to several people and nothing has changed. Can’t even get a refund. Too bad as the magazines were quite good. Stay away. Is a frustrating rip off. ### 1/5 — Renewed subscription via App Store issue *2023-09-20* If anyone and iPhone Life is actually watching this section. I renewed my subscription a week ago. I can see and access all my old issues going back years but can not read the current issue (last 3 since my subscription expired). When I select the current issue it requests I subscribe or purchase it. I have been emailing with this issue daily to support and I have yet to get a response. HELP PLEASE. ### 1/5 — Crap *2023-09-06* Good luck canceling. ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2023-04-29* I can log in perfectly at the website but trying to log into the app gives you the message invalid user ID. Too bad you can’t rate zero stars because even that is rating it too high. ### 1/5 — Subscription updates *2021-10-12, version 49.8* I subscribed through the iTunes Store. When I got a new iPad, I tried to restore the subscription. It didn’t work. After discussing with iTunes they indicated to pick up with support from app. I emailed and started to explain problem but then they went silent on me ### 1/5 — Poor customer service *2019-12-04, version 49.8* I have subscribed to the magazine for over 5 years and have had poor results with requests. I use a local library service to access the magazine. It is free. ### 1/5 — Not working for iPad 6 *2019-10-24, version 49.8* Or iOS 13 dose not load anything ### 1/5 — No support *2017-12-15, version 29* I purchased this magazine recently and it’s a complete waste of money. Having issues opening the magazine. The only email I get back is contact Apple we can’t find your subscription. Both Apple and my Bank say all is paid for and is ok on their end. Already unsubscribed. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your money on this it’s not worth it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — J Stecky *2025-03-19* I had a problem accessing my iPhone life magazine and now I can’t access all back issues thank you . ### 5/5 — Helping a non techie. *2024-05-29* The help that I received from you is immeasurable.
