### 1/5 — Not Optimized for iPhone

*2025-02-13, version 7.5.1*

Good luck if you can read comfortably tiny font. It makes reading the issue impossible. Would not recommend using the app

### 1/5 — Subscription stopped working before renewal date

*2024-05-18, version 7.5.1*

I was getting pretty marginal value out of the magazine, anyway, but throwing in the extra hassle it just isn’t worth it.

### 3/5 — Too much lifestyle

*2023-08-24, version 7.5.1*

Until recently, Maclean’s had a nice balance between lifestyle pieces and top quality Canadian political commentary.   I miss all the political perspectives my subscription brought me.   

PS.  The app is really good.

### 4/5 — Magazine is very informative and Canadian

*2023-08-19, version 7.5.1*

Magazine itself is well worth the subscription price, but the app needs work. Currently I received the print version of the publication by mail 3 weeks ago, but the electronic version has not yet appeared for download on the app. This should be easy to correctly.

### 1/5 — Bring Back the Maclean’s of Old

*2023-08-12, version 7.5.1*

Each new issue is more disappointing than the last.

### 5/5 — App not working again

*2022-02-21*

I am not getting the current issues of Macleans that I have continually subscribed to.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me renew my subscription

*2022-02-10, version 7.4*

It won’t let me renew my subscription.

### 1/5 — Tried a subscription

*2022-01-26, version 7.4*

Subscribed, paid for it and then went into the app to sign in.
I needed a subscription number which I had not received but that's okay it can be obtained through help.
Problem is the help function produced a blank screen.
Not impressed.
Cancelled subscription, removed app.

### 5/5 — Good app.

*2021-10-17, version 7.4*

It’s a good app, offers a Canadian perspective on certain things.

### 3/5 — Unable to download current issue despite having a subscription

*2021-06-15*

I have had a paid subscription to Maclean’s for over a year. No problems. However, last night When I tried to download the current issue, the download button did not appear. Instead, the Sign in to your account” button appeared.  As I have a digital subscription, I do not have a subscription number to use to sign in. I contacted Maclean’s customer service, but their solution was for me to call Apple.  I tried to tell Maclean’s customer service that the information in my Maclean’s account indicated that I was paid through June 25.  Nevertheless, I called Apple and it was confirmed I had an open subscription to Maclean’s.  I have emailed Maclean’s several times to advise them that my account was good but nothing has been done on their end to remedy the situation. So, I am paying for a subscription that I cannot access. The magazine is 5 stars. Customer service, not so much.
