Subscribers can access both magazine stories and digital articles through our website - they're just in different areas of the site. For subscription products like the magazine, log into https://my.kiplinger.com/login/wlogin.php, where you can read all of our issues via streamlined web reader or PDF download. For digital articles, go to our homepage at www.kiplinger.com. You can also use the mobile app, which currently only supports magazine issues. Our near-term mobile app roadmap includes introducing a website story feed, so you will be able to read Kiplinger magazine issues alongside all of our website articles, right within the app. Thanks for your patience, and thanks for reading. ### 1/5 — Good magazine. Awful app *2026-01-23* I’ve been subscribing to this magazine for years. I can no longer download it.

I haven’t had a single response to any of my requests for someone to reach out to me!!! I love the information but if you have any issues or need to speak to someone this company doesn’t care or even try. Very frustrating! *Update I received a message with the same steps I have already took and the email I never received an answer from so honestly this company is a scam DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! They will take your money and then in public say oh we are sorry message here and whe you do you don’t get answers! I have already wrote off that $37 or whatever it was because at this point I don’t even know anymore but I hope others don’t fall prey to their poor business practices!!! **Developer response:** Sorry to hear your magazine hasn't arrived yet. If you're still having problems you can visit https://www.kiplinger.com/help for delivery estimates and customer service contacts. ### 2/5 — Customer Service *2025-11-02* I was super excited to get these magazines and digital versions but I paid for both and while yes I get my digital version I have yet to see the first magazine and I have tried 4 times to reach out through social media, email, and any other way I could find to reach out but the customer service is no where to be found!

Development Team unresponsive to bug submissions. **Developer response:** Thank you for submitting bug reports and leaving this comment. We value your input as a subscriber and would like to fit the issue. Could you please email our support team (KPFservice@kiplinger.com) with the key details about the app freezing / redownloading issue and mention your bug reports? Once we have that, we can take it from there with our app developers. Thanks again. ### 1/5 — Access problems *2025-06-01* I’ve been a Kiplinger print and digital subscriber for years and have enjoyed using the app until recently. The app will no longer allow me to read articles unless I pay an additional subscription for the app. **Developer response:** Good afternoon, Thank you for being such a loyal subscriber. If a person has subscribed directly with Kiplinger via a Kiplinger offer, they shouldn't need to pay anything extra to use the Kiplinger app. We'd like to help resolve your issue so you can continue enjoying all of our app content. Please contact kipcustserv@cdsfulfillment.com, including a brief description of the problem, and our customer support team will assist with a resolution. Kind regards, The Kiplinger Team. ### 5/5 — Nice magazine. Horrible customer service *2025-05-30* I subscribed to the print and digital magazine. I downloaded the app but all the articles are still locked a few days later. I emailed. No response. I contacted the developer through the app. Again no response. What good is an app when you can’t access any of the articles? I can access the website and pdf articles but you can’t of course click right to the article and the “experience” they brag about just isn’t the same. I have subscribed in the past with access to their app so whomever is now minding the store is asleep. Maybe a bad review will wake them up! **Developer response:** Thank you for your business, and for for bringing this to our attention. If you've subscribed via Kiplinger, you should have full access to all of our app content with your regular login at no extra charge. Please contact kipcustserv@cdsfulfillment.com, including a brief description of the problem, and our customer support team there should be able to assist with a resolution. Kind regards, The Kiplinger Team ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE TIME LOGGING IN *2025-04-11* I have been a subscriber ever since MONEY magazine transferred my subscription, and I like it. However your internet subscription needs improvement! Logging in is Terrible. Please improve it. Sincerely James C. Sauer **Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please contact subscomplaints@futurenet.com, including a brief description of the problems encountered when attempting to login, and our customer support team will assist with a resolution. Kind regards, The Digital Support Team. ### 1/5 — Horrible Experience *2025-01-28* I just subscribed to Kiplinger Personal Finance through Kiplinger’s website. I saw that they had an app and downloaded that. Every time I’ve tried to login it says I do not have a subscription. However, I am able to login onto the Kiplinger website. After trying for 2 1/2 days I finally got frustrated and called a customer service number I found within the app. I was told I would not be able to read any issues on the app until April!! So I’ve paid the money, and per Kiplinger’s own advice, downloaded the app for a “better experience.” And I’m now being told I will be unable to use that “better experience” app until April! At this rate, I can guarantee I will NOT renew my subscription to Kiplinger!! ## Frequently asked questions about Kiplinger Personal Finance ### What does Kiplinger Personal Finance app offer?
