### 2/5 — Not updating

*2026-02-28, version 8.2.7*

The March 2026 American Rifleman has been out for a few days but isn’t showing in this app.  what good is it?

### 4/5 — Not working

*2025-03-21*

The IPad app quit working after the last Apple Update

### 2/5 — Print is too small without any of the standard ways to enlarge

*2022-11-23*

There still isn't a way to set a larger font size, nor does it allow Reader View, and zoom is a joke.  Only portrait orientation is available although I prefer landscape.  The app is still unusable to me so I'll once again delete it.  Perhaps one day they will develop a usable app, but after all this time, I'm not holding my breath.

### 4/5 — Great App but

*2021-12-26*

I love the app and all the magazines but the organization itself it a bit too political for me

### 3/5 — Newest update less than helpful

*2021-10-05*

On my iPad, zoom appears to be by a fixed amount and shows only  part of a page. That might be OK if I could move that zoomed area around, but you can’t. Where you tap is where the zoom is centered. Changing pages also seems slow. Not as useful as previous versions.

### 1/5 — Login Fail

*2018-12-12, version 8.1*

App will not accept my login (username and password) after I up graded to iPhone6 and redownloaded the app.

### 1/5 — Reviews

*2018-04-10*

Wow, I can’t believe Apple allows insane reviews like that particular one below. The reviewer is just regurgitating his liberal bs...Apple, please remove it.

Anyway, this app is junk. It won’t let me log in and it doesn’t even encrypt my password when I do try to log in. Very strange. You also can’t zoom in.

### 2/5 — Very Finicky Reader

*2018-02-04, version 8.1*

Awkward and unfriedly. Double tapping areas of the page zooms in a bit too far to read a column.  Sliding/panning the page is up/down left/right only and difficult to get started.  This reader works better on my android devices.

### 1/5 — app crap

*2017-10-26, version 8.0*

it used to work but not any longer. been trying for 40 minutes to log in.

### 1/5 — Cannot recommend this version

*2017-09-25*

The update does not render text reliably. In particular, double fs (ff) are rendered only as blanks: "officer" shows up as "o  icer", for instance. Not really digging the intro screen either. List of magazines shows up, but you can't see previews of multiple issues and titles like before. Roll back the update! Updated: The Feb 2017 update just made it worse. Won't function at all on iPad now.

### 1/5 — Can't log in

*2017-07-23, version 8.0*

'Nuff said.

### 1/5 — Worthless app

*2017-05-18, version 8.0*

I've had this app for years and it still refuses login...deleting it now and forever. Don't see how they can be so digitally incompetent at NRA.

### 1/5 — Can't login.

*2017-05-16, version 8.0*

Poor member experience.

### 1/5 — Invalid login

*2025-12-17, version 8.2.6*

Using a valid login, it reports “invalid login”

### 1/5 — I expect better

*2025-05-16*

Wow.  

A first grader who can barely count to one hundred would be able to design and create an app better than this.  It does not work, period.

I contacted digital support MONTHS ago, and was told it was a “glitch” and that they were working on it….  Really?   A “glitch” and it takes this much time to, what — Not solve the problem…?  I work in a hospital, and ANY computer issues are solved within hours, or less.  How is my little independent hospital able to employ a better tech team than this gigantic national organization?

Ridiculous.  Makes me wonder who’s in charge and whether I should donate my funds to organizations that won’t get bogged down by something this trivial.  If something this petty is insurmountable for this organization, then how difficult is it to tackle serious issues, like our 2A rights?

This has me so concerned for the bigger picture.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-03-28, version 8.2.6*

It started crashing about 3 weeks ago. Can’t get magazines anymore

### 1/5 — It stopped working!

*2025-03-27*

This started recently - the app will open, but when you tap on a magazine, the app just closes. No links, no lists.   Hope someone is reading this to fix it….

### 1/5 — Last IOS update

*2025-03-18, version 8.2.6*

After last iOS 18.4 update the program does not work.

### 1/5 — Unusable-App Crashes

*2025-03-13, version 8.2.6*

The magazines won’t open. Choose one and the app crashes. I’ve done all the usual tech support procedures and it still won’t work.

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2025-03-12, version 8.2.6*

App crashes as soon as magazine selected.

### 1/5 — Update to app

*2025-03-11*

This app was last updated 3 yrs ago. I no am able to open the app which ends up shutting down. Since I opted to use the app and forgo printed magazine, the least NRA should do is update the app so it can work properly.

### 1/5 — Login Issues

*2023-04-18, version 8.2.6*

The app won’t let me login.  Tried my username and password and also Uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still says “Login Failed”

### 1/5 — This is a white power hangout app

*2021-06-29*

Wow, I’ve had it with this app and the NRA overall. Terrible tech support and they make it clear that they do not side with you if you are not white. Seriously, anyone that uses the term “critical race theory” is the one (along with his or her family) that needs to be shot. Go learn to read a book or get some dental care. Stop trying to change history.

### 5/5 — NRA Strong - Great app

*2019-01-26*

A great app for learning about shooting sports and protecting our constitutional right to bear arms! The NRA dates back to 1871 and I doubt the people berating it have any understanding of the United States constitution and the wonderful support and now apps that try to educate the uneducated. Definitely a five star organization! I became a life member in the last six months!

### 5/5 — Haters gonna hate

*2018-03-19*

Ignorance swells in the minds of left wing robots who have no understanding of the NRA, and the civil rights movement of the 2nd Amendment. The NRA is composed of people who love...love of life, country, and family. Stop the anti-NRA hatred. Think for yourselves...not how the fake media tells you how to think. If I protect you with my gun from a thug who wants to kill you, am I not showing you love? If I stop a rapist his from hurting a woman, am I not showing love? Do do this, I need strong civil rights, and real gun control such as hitting the target, and knowing what’s beyond the target. Please support the NRA and stop the hate.

### 5/5 — Great App, great service!

*2018-03-07*

NRA provides a much needed service here in America. The only ones who don’t agree are the mindless followers of the communist movement (dark side). God bless America, God bless the NRA.

### 5/5 — Love the format !

*2018-02-25*

Downloading and opening the app was easy, but you then have to eMail NRAHQ for the login credentials. They responded in less than an hour. You don't have to provide any personal info and there's no fee.

### 5/5 — How to log in

*2017-07-24*

You have to use the password and login ID from your monthly email. Once I realized that it worked perfectly. None of your other NRA ids will work.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the positive review and your support of the National Rifle Association.

### 5/5 — Works Fine

*2017-06-26, version 8.0*

The username and password for using this app is not the same as for the desktop or your personal and or a username login credentials. All you have to do is follow the instructions in the email the NRA sends to all digital users. Hint: the username and password for this app is the same for everyone.

### 5/5 — Worked fine for me

*2017-05-23*

I followed the instructions in my email. Entered the user name and password given and everything worked as it should.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the positive review and your support of the National Rifle Association.

### 5/5 — Works very well. No login issue.

*2017-04-26, version 8.0*

Do not log in with your member ID. Log in with the username and password given in the monthly email. For those of you having trouble logging in, check your email.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2017-04-25, version 8.0*

Looks pretty cool

### 5/5 — No issues

*2017-02-21*

I have download and updated one device and installed on two new devices without any issues. I am able to view all four magazines (iPad & iPhone). With this release I can download PDFs into iBooks for offline reading.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the positive review and your support of the National Rifle Association.
