I can restore my purchased MagBooks (the app shows "Download" instead of the price tag) but when I tap download, I continuously get an error message: "Download Failed - there was an error while downloading". I've bumped my score to 2* on the basis this is progress, but still major bugs. Seriously disappointed in your development team. 😔 ### 1/5 — Don't buy anything on this *2015-09-11, version 5.0.0* Have complained that the Magbooks section has completely disappeared, they acted like I was the first person to complain (ludicrously unlikely) and said it was being fixed but no hint of a fix after weeks and no offer of a refund. Do NOT pay for anything on here because they are useless. ### 1/5 — Mag books disappeared *2015-09-11* Like everyone else leaving bad reviews I too have had my collection of Mag Books deleted. I emailed Men’s Fitness a few weeks and they replied saying that they "are aware that the special issues are currently available within the app, however the should be made available within the app shortly.” Still no sign of these, and I mentioned they should compensate users like me perhaps with a free copy of the current issue which would go a long way to rectifying their mistake, but I didn’t hear back on that. Even once the Mag Books have reappeared, I don’t know if I will be buying anymore. I hope the option is to download the Mag Books into iBooks or my desktop as PDFs so if they remove them again, they aren’t lost for good. ### 1/5 — Is anyone from Denis Publishing reading these reviews?! *2015-09-06, version 5.0.0* Like most of the previous reviews, I have lost my subscriptions. Again!! This is a fundamental requirement for an app, how can you get this so wrong? Can someone from Denis Publishing reply and explain when this is going to be sorted, please? Extremely frustrating and reflects badly on a good magazine Thanks ### 4/5 — What?!?! *2015-08-31, version 5.0.0* Where are my Magbooks????? ### 1/5 — Update *2015-08-31, version 5.0.0* New update is rubbish!! Can't restore my purchases or find the magbooks with workout plans on, money down the drain! ### 1/5 — Very poor *2015-08-22, version 5.0.0* Echoing all other comments to date. Where are my previous purchases? Refund would be nice but the annoyance far outweighs the cash hit. Very poor. Very poor indeed. ### 1/5 — Where is my MagBook purchases? *2015-08-22, version 5.0.0* I spent more than £30 to buy MagBooks and suddenly all my collection disappeared! There is no way to bring all my downloads back. I contacted to App developer but I haven't get any feedback or any help from them. As a result, I lost all my collection + £30! I am just hopping that they will fix the App as soon as possible! ### 1/5 — Can't restore purchases *2015-08-21, version 5.0.0* Am unable to restore my purchases, including a years worth of existing subscription. Also appears the magbooks are gone which I already spent considerable money on and now can't access. Don't update to this version until this gets sorted. ### 1/5 — Appalling - where are my Magbooks? *2015-08-20, version 5.0.0* Got to gym two days ago ready to carry on with the workout in one of the Magbooks bought on this app's earlier version only to find they had all disappeared. I had quite a few such titles that I had worked through and had great results which encouraged me to buy others as each was good value. Emailed the publisher and app owner and still have not been given any reason for this or commitment to restore access. Rubbish! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work for existing users *2015-08-13, version 5.0.0* I have tried to restore my downloads does not work ### 1/5 — It doesn't restored previously bought issues!! *2015-03-29, version 4.1.1* It's unbelievable! I'm signed in with my apple account. Go to the app settings and press 'Restore my purchases' and nothing happens. Seriously!?!? This is criminal! Only giving one star because you cannot rate zero stars. ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD *2015-02-23, version 4.1* Purchased latest edition of Men's fitness at £3.99 which I cannot download and read. The app just says it authorising. I'm reading a lot of people are having the same issue. How can they get away with this?! It's daylight robbery!! ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2015-02-22, version 4.1* No longer able to download since update. Terrible service with no solutions provided. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Broken *2015-02-22, version 4.1* Foolishly ignored the other reviews saying issues won't download as the app gets stuck on authorising. £3.99 later same thing happened to me. DO NOT BUY! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor service *2023-02-13* With the latest update, all of my bookmarks in previous issues were deleted. That should never have been allowed to happen! ### 1/5 — Men’s Fitness *2019-04-02* Downloaded the new app and lost 3 years worth of mags I’ve bought. Told by this lot I need to contact the previous publisher it’s not their problem.. absolutely useless I’ll never buy any of their titles again ### 1/5 — Utter Rubbish *2017-09-01* Subscribed to Mens Fitness, was working fine, now cant download anything, saying I haven't paid when I have. Waited for 45mins on the phone only to be told its a common problem and cant be fixed for 7-10 days. I feel robbed. ### 1/5 — Disappointing and cumbersome *2017-02-01, version 5.0.5* The paper version and the online version seem poles apart. Not an enjoyable experience. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2016-11-01, version 5.0.5* I'm a subscriber. I can't complain about the content but the app is appalling. Can't zoom text, navigate properly, no proper index, can't bookmark pages, snip extracts, and can't export to PDF. Needs more flexibility and functionality. It's a poor man iBook / PDF reader. ### 1/5 — Not at the level of paper version *2016-08-05, version 5.0.5* Interface isn't user friendly at all, especially with MagBooks but that's a global opinion: Reading magazine is complicated, use Magbooks is really uncomfortable. That's a shame because I would like to have the Magbooks collection on my phone but not until interface improvements. Your magazines and books are fantastic, please make an app at the level! ### 1/5 — Don't bother! *2016-06-11, version 5.0.5* I've been paying for this for 2-years, 8-months of which I've been arguing about not being able to download my subscription. I've cancelled it! The support is crap and literally do thing other than say delete and reinstall the app. Essentially I've been robbed! Use another magazine! ### 1/5 — Payed but no magazines *2015-12-18, version 5.0.3* Still can't get my issues after paying yearly subscription to iTunes- going to cancel ### 1/5 — I want my MacBook back or my money!!!!!! *2015-09-24, version 5.0.0* I contacted them and answer who's that the new app will not have MacBooks they're still tell me to restore my purchases but how if there is now more stuff I pay for. I'm going to contact Apple to take som action against them because is not fair. ### 1/5 — MAG BOOKS?!?!?!? *2015-09-20, version 5.0.0* rubbish! old mag books just disappeared ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Special mag *2016-02-07* i 'm satisfed with much. c's lots of training articles on BB! i'm' on the way with my best mags. ### 5/5 — Superior content, polished app *2015-10-07* The app is now looking fantastic and works smoothly, with full access to the excellent magbooks. The content's always been excellent and stimulating. I often find a new exercise or just a tweak to how I approach my fitness training. I find the interviews with sportspeople from a wide variety of sports very interesting - I'm always fascinated by the different approaches their sports require. This is excellent value for money. ### 5/5 — Concise and quick *2015-05-11* This is the perfect quick read no nonsense iPad mens fitness magazine. Loads up fast, content is short enough to read and take in and detailed enough to learn from. The animations are quick basic two step photos with some (seldom) actual videos. But actually they would clog up the magazine and simply slow the page turns so it's best kept simple. Try before you commit and 3 month rolling renewal is the right way to sell a magazine like this. Enjoy it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-02-24, version 4.1.1* Great update!! Awesome features :) ### 5/5 — Really Cool *2014-08-18* Don’t listen to the don’t buy rubbish, its a really good magazine and although its brief its got some great content. Its had a brilliant overhaul so you can really read it on the move. I read it on my iPhone or tablet on my way to/from work. Theres loads of interesting articles Can’t replace the paper version but I still love it :) ### 5/5 — Top mag app *2014-01-02, version 4.0.1* Really easy to navigate and save pages for recipes and workouts. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2013-12-29, version 4.0.1* Great app. Looks and reads really well on the phone. Really enjoying the additional video content and workouts. Recommended ### 5/5 — DangerousMikael *2013-12-25* Slick app, love it on the iPhone - super easy to download and use, lots of ace food and training advice and the workout vids are short and sweet so I can follow them in the gym. Also like the MyPages thingy that let's me share bits with the lads. Going to use it to get properly ripped for next Summer! Maybe they'll wanna stick me on the cover, ha! ### 5/5 — Amazing app for fitness *2012-12-24* Amazing app for fitness. Men's Fitness is the only magazine that gives you the right info on exercises, fitness and lifestyle and don't repeat thief exercises like other magazines. I've subscribed to them as they have helped me with my gym workouts and triathlon training. A must for anyone looking to stay fit and healthy well worth the money!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Ich lach mich schlapp! *2011-11-02* Ja genau, dass ist die englische Ausgabe und tatsächlich erscheint sie nicht in Deustcher Sprache! Was habt ihr denn zwischen den Ohren? Auch nur Muskeln? Der Preis ist eine Frechheit! Ich halte trotzdem mal mit 5 Sternen gegen. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
