I ordered through another site so I cancelled through them. People I signed up like it though. ### 2/5 — Favorites - Alignment *2026-05-18, version 8.71.0* Good app overall, but the “Favourites” section needs better alignment/order customization. There’s no option to manually arrange magazines in my preferred order. Even using the workaround of removing and re-adding favourites only works temporarily for that session. Once the app is reopened, it resets back to the original order based on when the magazine was first added. Please add a custom drag-and-drop ordering option for favourites. This issue significantly hurts my usability. ### 1/5 — Possible SCAM *2026-01-25, version 8.69.0* I just purchased a one time only monthly magazine. Received an email to read it digitally. YET I CANNOT ACCESS IT DESPITE MY ACCOUNT SHOWING THE PAID INVOICE. Sent an email for help. If the problem is resolved, will update this review. Otherwise, I am standing with this written testimony! Thank You! ### 1/5 — Avoid. Zero customer support *2026-01-04, version 8.68.0* Bought 3 months gold membership today via Wowcher. Except the code wasnt recognised. I tried to contact Magzter but no reply or means of contacting. I would advise to get Readly. ### 1/5 — Auto payment works. Auto access doesn’t *2025-12-01, version 8.66.2* This setup is a joke. Auto payment works like a dream — they’ve made absolutely sure of that — but automatic access is nowhere to be found. It’s almost impressive how a system can be engineered to take your money instantly yet fail spectacularly at giving you what you paid for. It feels less like automation and more like a trap. ### 4/5 — Menu *2025-11-30, version 8.66.2* Menu could be more user friendly ### 1/5 — Cancellation *2025-10-22, version 8.65.2* It’s very difficult to cancel subscription if you subscribe directly from them. ### 1/5 — They will charge you for the 7 day trial *2025-10-20* I subscribed through your 7-day free trial offer for the annual plan (€64.99 per year). However, I was immediately charged €64.99 right away and before the end of the free trial period — which is not what was stated in the offer. In addition, the subscription never worked: • I was unable to access any magazines despite closing and reopening the app several times. • The “Family Sharing” feature did not work either — the added members could not access the content. Because of these problems, I canceled the subscription within a few minutes of activating it. **Developer response:** Thank you for bringing your concern to our attention. We always strive to provide our users with a seamless digital reading experience, and we are sorry to have let you down. Kindly email us at help@magzter.com from your registered email address so we can address your concerns promptly and ensure you enjoy reading on our app. ### 1/5 — A joke *2025-10-11, version 8.65.1* I purchased this app for the monthly price of 14.99 as I want to trial it first, but it keeps telling me I am not authorized to access this title it says this no matter what magazine I try to open not good enough ### 4/5 — New IOS = Bad App *2025-10-01, version 8.64.0* With the new iOS update, none of my magazines now open on my new iPhone 17 pro max. I click on a magazine and the app just closes. Better get a fix soon! Update: the app is working again but it took far too long and too many emails back and forth to make it happen. Back to reading I go! ### 1/5 — Always crashing *2025-09-27, version 8.64.0* Every time I try to read a magazine in the app it closes the app when I click on the magazine. No problems on the desktop site. ### 4/5 — Listening to Articles *2025-08-16, version 8.62.1* Would love a way to listen to Mother Jones articles ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-08-15, version 8.62.1* In men’s interests 95% of magazines is scam with a lot of advertisements inside. ### 1/5 — Third attempt — no response from Magzter *2025-08-15, version 8.62.1* Your customer support team hasn’t responded, even after I’ve sent three separate emails to the email address you’ve listed. Avoid! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mind the small print *2026-06-17, version 8.72.2* One off buys turn into subscriptions without you knowing ### 1/5 — What free trial load of rubbish *2026-06-15, version 8.72.2* How do I cancel it ### 1/5 — No app subscription management *2026-06-06, version 8.72.0* There is no way to cancel your subscription, Magzter has to be emailed. Magzter have ignored my emails 4 times. Disgusting service. ### 1/5 — Cancellation *2026-06-03, version 8.72.0* I have no clue how well this all is in general. And if you are into reading magazines it could be alright. But holy cow is it impossible to cancel. Whatever you do don’t buy the gold version of this stupid app. Took me 2 hours to cancel and I’m a (fairly) tech savvy 18 year old. I can’t imagine trying to cancel if I was the age of people who still read magazines. Just go buy the real thing. ### 1/5 — Complicated subscription process *2026-05-25, version 8.71.0* Subscribed to access magazines, but was unable to get past the subscription gate despite a successful Apple Pay charge. The activation link Magzter sends redirects to their homepage rather than granting access making the subscription effectively unusable. Requesting a refund is equally frustrating. There is no refund option on their website. The only recourse is to email their support team and wait for a response. ### 1/5 — All I want.. *2026-05-05, version 8.70.2* Am I missing something? If I am, then I apologize for the tone of this review, but it seems my only option to to subscribe to all access to 10,000 magazine titles. I don’t want 10,000 magazines. All I want is ONE subscription to ONE magazine. Is there somewhere on the app where I can just subscribe to one magazine? ### 1/5 — Avoid *2026-04-18, version 8.70.2* Awful - really glitchy navigation. It’s also impossible to get anyone to accept responsibility for the sale and issue a partial refund for the remaining subscription time. Utterly frustrating ### 1/5 — Avoid *2026-04-05, version 8.69.2* Awful - really glitchy navigation ### 1/5 — Shouldn’t carry porn *2026-03-16, version 8.69.2* One star ### 1/5 — Buyer Beware! *2026-02-05, version 8.69.1* I tried to unsubscribe to their service but there is no unsubscribe feature. They do not respond to emails when trying to unsubscribe. DO NOT subscribe to this service! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Incredible customer support!! *2026-07-10, version 8.74.1* Working with customer support was an overwhelmingly positive experience! (I was having an issue getting full access after purchasing in the Apple Store.) Most of all this is the best application for magazines in my opinion. SO many choices, all for one price! ### 5/5 — Great selection. *2026-05-06, version 8.70.2* After a disastrous merge between Readly and Cafeyn. I needed to find a new digital magazines and newspapers app. Magzter does not only have more than 4000 titles more than Readly (around 10000 in total) and for me it’s actually cheaper for me too each month, because I also speak German I’m able to read more titles in German as well as English. I’m already impressed and the seamless ease I can share my subscription means my elderly mother can read on her iPad as well at no extra cost. Impressed. I also like you can filter what other added family or friends can read especially for my children as protecting harmful content from being seen is important and I’m pleased Magzter takes this seriously. ### 5/5 — The Best *2026-04-12, version 8.70.2* Don’t wait…… enjoy ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-02-22, version 8.69.1* Amazing app very important to have been hooked to it for past 4 years ### 5/5 — Amazing app and support *2025-09-30, version 8.64.0* I did buy one year subscription and when I change my phone to iPhone 17 Pro with a new iOS 26 the app was crashing, and it keeps shutting down. I did talk to them a few times. And they were able to fix it after me sending them a few crash report. Thank you very much for the support. I really appreciate it For all those people who talks about paying the app is very clearly showing you you get free a few days and then you have to pay to view those magazine. I think it’s a good deal. ### 5/5 — Pay for three years *2025-05-25, version 8.60.4* It is worth the cost ... it actually is. I have many interests and what Magzter offers is not just magazines from the US but all over the world. You pay even if for one year and get access to hundreds of new and old issues. I have been a subscriber maybe since 2019… ### 5/5 — Magzter Review *2025-05-19, version 8.60.4* Absolutely love the variety! My favourite App. ### 5/5 — wish *2025-05-05, version 8.60.4* I love this app so much. As a non English speaking reader I only wish if there are words I don’t know, I could directly use the iPad /iphone dictionary to check the meaning by holding the word in the article. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Excelling App *2025-03-20, version 8.60* Great app with good immersive UI ### 5/5 — Apple News killer *2025-02-15, version 8.53.8* Android and apple need to chill. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
