### 1/5 — Ta-da they’ve made it worse

*2026-01-21*

An already limited but bearable App has been rendered nearly useless by its new update. 

Slower, clunkier and infuriating, especially unimpressed by the fact that when you zoom in to read it keeps spontaneously snapping back to the original size.

If I didn’t love my iPad I’d be chucking this in the bin in frustration.

Wanted to give it no stars but you have to give one star to be allowed to post the review

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review, and we're really sorry to hear you're experiencing difficulties. For further assistance please contat apps@futurenet.com, including a brief description of the problem you're facing and any relevant details or screenshots, and our app support team will be happy to assist further. Thanks, The Digital Support Team

### 1/5 — Never loads new issue

*2025-02-05*

Rubbish, every month you have to contact support so they can reset your app with the new issue. Takes 2-4 days to do.

### 1/5 — The App does not work on iPad

*2024-04-15*

Every time a new issue is available it doesn’t load but goes into a queueing loop. Have waited days for a load even with the fastest fibre connection. Very frustrating and do not recommend subscribing through the App but directly with Magazine Direct on their website.

### 1/5 — Stuck in queued

*2023-11-09*

Hopeless app! Had to cancel subscription as it gets stuck in queued every new issue and the only solution is delete and restore. No help from developers.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, and we're really sorry to hear you cancelled your subscription because of queuing issues.

If you require any further help, please email apps@futurenet.com giving our app support team an outline of your problem and they will be happy to assist you further. 

Thanks, 

The Digital Support Team

### 2/5 — Loses my library - every now and again I have to download all my issues again. WHY?

*2023-05-03*

Loses my library - every now and again I have to download all my issues again. WHY?

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, and we're really sorry to hear you're experiencing difficulties.

### 3/5 — Content lacking

*2020-11-27*

I find the magazine lacking in decent content. More tech and kit reviews would be nice. Less adverts too.

### 5/5 — Forced Reviews

*2020-07-10*

Everything that keeps hassling me for reviews gets one star from me. Hasn’t anyone thought how annoying it is that every single thing that one does, someone wants a review? If you order goods online, not only does the vendor want a review but so does the delivery firm etc etc. It is now a full time job providing reviews for every aspect of life. I only give good ratings to deserved causes that don’t keep asking me for a review.

### 1/5 — App does NOT WORK

*2018-10-04*

Do not buy this! It is utterly useless! New issues will not download and there is no response when you try to contact MBY! How Apple allowed this on their apps store is beyond me!

### 1/5 — Can’t restore purchases!

*2018-09-17*

Since the new version, I can’t restore purchases I have made.  Several years of issues paid are not available to me.  Clicking on restore does nothing, not even a dialogue box with a message explaining why it is not working.
I like the magazine, but the app should get zero stars.

### 1/5 — App is terrible

*2018-01-08*

Great magazine but app is terrible. Deletes all my downloaded issues when I go into airplane mode. Think I would rather stick to paper!
