iOS version has a serious issue

I had subscribed to Metal Hammer for some time then cancelled. I wanted to subscribe again but can’t. The app shows “Your iPad subscription is active. It has not been active for over a year but the app thinks I am still subscribed so I can’t renew or cancel. Very frustrated with the app or, to be fair, the iOS version of it.

Still young

Used to read it since 37 years ago... and still fresh as my passion

Racist publishers, Future Publishing

Dubious content, racist overtones with dog whistling editorial. I’m deleting - stay away.

Awesome!

Keeping metal alive!

Useless!

I downloaded the Metal Hammer app to try and order a physical copy of the latest edition.
I paid £3.99 and then a download started on my phone! It wasn’t made clear to me at all that i was only buying a download! I wanted, and thought i was purchasing an actual physical real printed copy.

I can’t hand a digital copy to my son, you can’t stick a poster in a download to your wall.

Not impressed at all, if i don’t get a refund, that £3.99 is the last money Metal Hammer will get from me.
