### 1/5 — Terrible

*2012-10-18, version 1.0.24.9487*

After I downloaded the new app, it just doesn't allow me to log in anymore... It keeps giving me the username/password error and don't allow me even to read my old magazines... 

I am a subscriber as well and I'm really concerned to what will happen to the future editions..

Please fix this ASAP

Update: they've contact me and fixed my username/password problem.... But guess what, after two days using the app... Now it crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to open it...Already try to contact them back...but no responses so far... Very Disappointed..

### 1/5 — Don't install

*2012-10-03, version 1.0.24.9487*

Like the previous reviewer, I installed the new app just after purchasing a subscription. Now I can't even log in to view any of the content I have purchased.

The contact information seems to be non-existent - no ability to report a problem to the publishers. I'll be asking for a refund.

*edit* I have contacted both the magazines subscriptions department, as well as the publisher... Neither has responded.

*edit* After 3 attempts to contact the publishers, and no reply after almost a month, I have had a full refund processed by Apple. I will avoid any dealings with this company in the future.

### 1/5 — Just crashes

*2012-10-01, version 1.0.24.9487*

As a long time subscriber to the print edition and a user of the older version of this iPad app I have to say this new app is crap. After installing it every time I try to read it the app simply crashes. Unacceptable! And I don't want to pay extra for a digital edition of the same magazine in print form. I just renewed that for two years. I hope they fix this ASAP!

### 1/5 — App not functional

*2012-09-30, version 1.0.24.9487*

Tried to buy single issue but does not allow. Very sub-par when compared to Sound on Sound app.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2012-09-26, version 1.0.24.9487*

While the app is free, it appears that even existing subscribers must pay for a new subscription to view an issue. My past digital subscription was not active with the new app.

### 1/5 — Ne marche pas

*2012-09-21, version 1.0.24.9487*

Lorsqu'on ouvre plus de 5 fois la revue une erreur apparaît et on ne peu plus l'ouvrir. De plus la résolution est beaucoup moins bonne que l'ancienne application! Aussi je trouve déplorable de ne pas pouvoir téléchargé mes revues vieille de plus de 6 mois! J'attend une amélioration dans de plus bref délai sans quoi je me désabonne! Prenez exemple sur d'autres compagnies, il son tous mieux que la votre!

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2012-09-10, version 1.0.24.9487*

Ive put up with a mediocre app for almost a year. This one so far is worse. Crashes upon downloading the joe chicatelli issue and simply wont let you read any of your paid for mags. Subscribe to sound on sound instead. Very dissapointed

### 1/5 — doesn't work

*2012-09-04, version 1.0.24.9487*

At least the old app worked. Can't download anything. App shuts down as soon as it starts.  no CS response to email re: app problem.

### 1/5 — Don't update to the app it crashes constantly

*2012-09-04, version 1.0.24.9487*

Don't update to the app it crashes constantly, pity looked like a good idea. Now I can't read any of my MIX subscription!

### 1/5 — Endless Crashes

*2012-09-03, version 1.0.24.9487*

After crashing during the restore process,
cannot even open this app. 

Please fix this asap.

### 1/5 — What's going on???

*2012-09-01*

I've purchased August issue inside your older <Mix Magazine> app and then I found "new app notice" so I followed the step to create account inside the old app. Then I downloaded the new app here and tried to access the purchase then I AM NOT registered! What's going on here? Even "Restore Purchase" with Apple ID does not work at all. On the error page you guys displayed contact customer support then no link! Guys, it's 2012!

### 1/5 — Meh

*2022-05-12, version 5.6.3*

This magazine is nearly dead.

I prefer Sound On Sound magazine. Nearly 200 pages of content per issue and much better credible content.

### 1/5 — Horrible buggy mess.

*2016-09-18, version 8.1*

If you try to enable your subscription with an email address longer than 20 characters the app locks up and crashes. Every time. I guess I can't access my subscription. Not the first time an update has prevented access to subscribers. Will not be renewing.

### 1/5 — Swamped with back issues.

*2016-03-02, version 6.0*

This app needs a new interface. All your issues are piled on top of years of back issues, so finding an issue to read is just like have 40 mix magazines sitting on a pile on the floor. Except that you would own all those, as opposed to having to always check the " preview" or " download" button. I just want to read my issue with out having to sort back and forth through the apps forced back issue browser every time I open the app. I will not be renewing my subscription.

### 1/5 — Glitchy… had to uninstall it.

*2014-12-10, version 2.1.0.248*

Purchased the iPad version of Mix magazine, downloaded the app, it would only show me other things to buy, tried to authenticate myself, never did anything but show me different things to buy, then it got stuck trying to authenticate. Took about 10 minutes and a reboot of my phone to remove the app. Get it together folks!

### 1/5 — Can't access without purchase

*2013-12-06, version 2.0.0.12504*

I have a hardcopy subscription and can't find a way to view without re-subscribing or purchasing.

### 1/5 — App Needs Improvement

*2013-08-02*

1. Purchased items disappear without any reason.
2. Non intuitive interface... 
3. Slow downloading, sometimes freeze...
4. Supplements difficult to find... Interface problem

### 1/5 — Where's my digital edition?

*2012-12-20, version 1.0.26.10738*

I subscribe to Mix in print format and was expecting, as many other publishers offer, a way to link my print account to the app and get a digital copy for free.  This is not the case.  C'mon NewBay!

### 1/5 — Won't make this mistake again!!

*2012-12-01, version 1.0.24.9487*

I should have known better. All of my issues are gone, App Support is nil, and they've moved to a new version. Way to go!! How else can you screw your subscribers? Really, you want me to buy the issues that I've already paid for? Thank, but no thanks. Wish I could just uninstall News Stand all together. 

Oh I see....The culprit is New Bay Media!! Uninstalling all of their products. Won't get me twice.

### 1/5 — Does not work!

*2012-10-25, version 1.0.24.9487*

Just subscribed to this and it will not let me log in to view the magazine.
What a waste of $40!

### 1/5 — app won't restore previous subscription

*2012-10-18, version 1.0.24.9487*

After updating to the new version, none of my old content is transferring, nor is my subscription! Bad Form Mix!  Once you delete the old version you're screwed. Plus there is no way to contact anyone about this issue!

### 5/5 — Where are the rest of my issues?????

*2018-12-18, version 8.5*

I did the update as instructed to continue reading, then all of my issues prior to this year have disappeared. I PAID FOR THOSE!!!!
If I can no longer see them via the app, mail me all that I paid for.

### 5/5 — Loss of past Issues

*2018-12-06, version 8.5*

My issues from my last subscription have gone and I’m not happy. I’m not renewing my subscription unless they sort this out as i use past issues for reference.

### 5/5 — Bravo Ocean Studios - ATL

*2014-07-11, version 2.1.0.139*

Love the ease of use and access to info. Thanks for the story on our studio Mix!

### 5/5 — Terrible

*2014-02-09*

Being a Mix Magazine subscriber for 10+ years! the app is terrible.
Issues from my first year subscription now don't show as paid ones. 
Apparently my subscription had ended but I can't renew it no matter what.
Why not automatically renewal just like everyone else? A simple confirmation email once a year, leaving the option to cancel it would be enough.

### 5/5 — Excellent App But No UK Subscription

*2014-01-31, version 2.0.0.12504*

Just discovered this app and am impressed. Nicely organised, easy to use and the price per issue is reasonable too. But I have to knock off one star since at the moment I can't subscribe in the UK.

### 4/5 — Good app, but could be better

*2012-09-11, version 1.0.24.9487*

The download time is super quick which is great, you don't even have to download the magazine to your iPad or iPhone to read each issue which can be handy if you have limited space like I do on my 16GB iPad. The thing that could be better is the layout. I love how Sound on Sound has their layout, looks very nice and very well thought out. I'm happy with the new Mix app though, well done!

### 3/5 — Great magazine

*2015-01-07, version 2.1.0.248*

Love the magazine. Had it on iPhone 5 and I was working. Does not work on iPhone 6+. Opens then disappears. You can see it when you go to view open apps but that's it. Please fix soon or else I'm canceling my subscription.

### 2/5 — Existing subscriptions?

*2012-10-08, version 1.0.24.9487*

Downloads fine, but how do I enter my existing subscription info? Needs a bit more documentation.

### 2/5 — Crashes upon downloading issue and cannot start again without crashing

*2012-09-04, version 1.0.24.9487*

I was directed to this new app after seeing a notification in the old app that they wanted to move apps to provide a better user experience.  I added a magazine to my collection and the app crashed and upon restarting the app (even after force quitting), it crashes over and over and will it launch.
