The current issue cannot be purchased, no price is shown, and I just gives a ‘can’t buy this’ error! ### 1/5 — Still Not happy at all *2018-03-03* Now the magazine is lousy as well but $ more Updated the app, lost all my purchased issues. Also never got, the February 2017 issue with my subscription. Despite being promised by the "customer support ". Totally ridiculous ### 1/5 — Highway Robbery. *2018-01-27, version 13.2* As stated in EVERY OTHER REVIEW, STRAIGHT UP SCAM! I WANT A REFUND. ### 1/5 — App + Subscription = Money Gone *2017-11-30, version 13.2* This app does not allow you to view issues if you purchase a subscription. How this is allowed I am not sure, but I got robbed of my money. I’d expect a refund but there is no way to get it. Utter thievery. ### 1/5 — Download does not work *2017-10-22* I have a year subscription but i cant download one these days. Delete and redownlaod the app to reset but it doesnt work. My subscription ends on December but i cant download one from August. ### 1/5 — Do not buy digital copy only physical hard copies *2017-09-11* Worst online magazine, can't access current paid magazines or any from 5 year subscription that I paid for, iTunes won't refund and all the original issues that I loved have been deleted by maxim, the only online magazine to delete magazines on the server! Lost £100's or $1000's ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY! *2017-09-07, version 13.2* Ever since the last upgrade, I have been unable to restore my library; I am unable to download new issues ### 1/5 — Terrible *2017-08-26, version 13.2* Terrible will not renew ### 1/5 — Scam *2017-08-11, version 13.2* I paid for the year subscription , but After 2 issues, it doesn't recognize my subscription. I've tried restoring, and reinstalling but it doesn't work. DONT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS. it's a rip off ### 1/5 — Maxim app horrid *2017-08-09, version 13.2* Does not work well at all. Can't get the current issue ever. ### 1/5 — It's a scam *2017-07-18, version 13.2* Great publication, but the app is indeed a SCAM. You don't get your issues, the app support is a dead link. This is literally a scam. I wasted money on a year long subscription. Don't get SWINDLED too. It's insane that Apple continues to allow this app to continue to be listed. AVOID THIS APP! Look at the other reviews! We all got ripped off. ### 1/5 — Impossible to restore purchase *2017-07-06, version 13.2* Impossible to restore back purchases on new iPad ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2017-07-03, version 13.2* I've had a subscription for years but I can only access two months prior and before. It's like I'm on a delay. My subscription is still active, for now at least. ### 1/5 — Missing issues *2017-06-25, version 13.2* At one time this app was fine. Issues came aboard no problem. Now not only are we missing the newest Feb issue as its March already, but the older issues I bought are not available for download. I'm canceling my subscription with apple 6/24/17 I would rate the app lower than 1 star. Still unable to download new issues. But they are really good about taking your money ### 1/5 — Rip off *2017-06-20, version 13.2* Bought a year's subscription and still get charged monthly to download. Apple says I have to contact the app developer and they don't respond to emails. Update: they now respond but don't actually fix anything, just string you along. Still spent money and got nothing for it. ### 1/5 — Nightmare *2017-06-17, version 13.2* Terrible. I've had Maxim from the beginning. Now they're trying to charge me every time there's a new issue, even though I am currently subscribed . My subscription is due for renew in 2018. Maxim can't help me, and Apple can't help me. ### 1/5 — You won't get what you pay for. Don't buy on iTunes *2017-06-16, version 13.2* I used iTunes to buy and PAID for a 1 YEAR Subscription. I was billed for ONE YEAR, and they received MY money. For that I received ONE ISSUE, and when it was time to get the second issue, it would not let me download it without buying it again. When I tried to lodge a complaint I get nothing back but I stupid automated response. Yes, I have tried to recover option and it does not work at all. Yes, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that doesn't work either. It would be really nice if someone responded with the genuine response and corrected the problem instead of the BS you get from a tree of automated "customer (lack of service) that you get from this app and iTunes. If I have it my way I will never buy another subscription or a book of any kind from iTunes again. ### 1/5 — iTunes Subscription Broken *2017-06-14, version 13.2* The new app looks cool, but I don't subscribe for cool looking apps, I subscribe through iTunes so I can read Maxim on my iPad. If that doesn't work, not sure why I subscribe to Maxim. Updated 6/13/2017 unsubscribed as I am continually losing access to magazines that I pay for. ### 1/5 — Not worthy of a star *2017-06-11, version 13.2* New issues don't load. App needs a lot of work. Take $20 and throw it in the garbage. Total joke of an App. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst App ever…. *2023-07-04* I have hundreds of dollars invested in this magazine and I cannot access any of my library. Restore is a joke. Sync is a joke. The app can’t be found anywhere to reload. It’s gone from Apple. Just a massive failure. Try to get someone in support to help….doesn’t exist. If you read this, doubtful, just tell me where the app is located. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2022-03-09* Restore did not work. One magazine at a time…. Limited content (not like the magazine) and weird variable pricing on prior additions. Cancelling, but they I’m sure they will keep the one year. I can’t even look at the issue that brought me back without paying for it. ### 1/5 — What’s going on? *2020-09-20* trouble login all the time ### 1/5 — Issues not restored *2020-07-14* Bought a new phone. Tried to restore my issues and only a few showed up. Unsubscribed ### 1/5 — 돈만 결제되고 되는건 없네요 *2020-01-23* 월 구독으로 결제한지 3일째인데, 여전히 앱은 the application being requested is not currently available. / your in-app purchases are being restored. this can take a few minutes. 라고 뜨네요.. 몇 분은 커녕 며칠이 지나도 바뀌는것 없이 아무것도 안됩니다. 중요한건 돈은 이미 지불됐는데 말이죠. 딱 사기꾼 앱. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2019-10-16, version 13.3* Constantly crashes. Rip off. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2019-09-21, version 13.3* App does not work. iTunes purchases are not updated for downloading and viewing. Total rip off. ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2019-05-26, version 13.3* I guess they really don’t care. The app hasn’t worked for months and no update has been released. ### 1/5 — Unable to purchase the app needs to be updated *2019-05-01, version 13.3* Needs to be updated ### 1/5 — An Absolute Joke & Total Ripoff *2018-09-18, version 13.3* Update...these 🤡 are either incompetent or don’t care about fixing this app. Don’t even think about trying to use with iOS 12. 🤣 Does not work and hasn't for months now. Run away as fast as you can. Don't bother contacting them because they just don't care!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Glad its back!!!! *2020-05-12* Always a nice read! ### 5/5 — Worse Service *2017-03-20* The new Maxim App is the worse in the market. With the new upgrade I lost all my old PAID issues, i called Maximum support 5 times and they are completely lost. They told me SORRY management made de choice to remove the old issues.. we paid for the issues and is ilegal for Maxim to take what we paid out with out our approval, this is totally agains the law.. I suggest they fix this problem as soon as posible or it will be heavy legal action against Maxim. Overall I think this guys are done with this crappy magazine... Is all comercial adds and crapy stories.... ### 5/5 — candice swanepoel 여신 *2015-03-06* 눈호강잼 ### 5/5 — Прикольно *2012-11-30* Все нравится. Периодически появляются бесплатные мини-версии журнала (эдак страниц на 20 примерно). Полные версии не особо дорогие. Качественный журнал. 5/5 ! ### 5/5 — Maxim *2012-09-24* Great mag well worth the price ### 5/5 — A Superb App *2012-09-16, version 3.2.1* A great magazine, and a great app lets me travel the world and read anywhere and anytime! ### 5/5 — Maxi to the Max! *2012-08-28, version 3.2.1* I travel a lot and Maxim is always there with me. It's my down time...my relax mode...my travel companion. Need I say More? I could...but that wouldn't be gentlemanly. Cheers Maxim! ### 5/5 — Great Read. *2012-08-24, version 3.2.1* Well done graphics and nice interactive attachments. ### 5/5 — Maxim App *2012-08-24, version 3.2.1* Have been using the electronic version of Maxim mags for a few months now - very happy with the quality and ease of use - download times could be improved upon - well worth having - no need to haul around paper versions any longer ### 5/5 — Muito bom aplicativo *2012-08-13* Excelente revista com boas matérias e modelos sensualíssimas --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
