Zero delivery magazine.

While the actual magazine was a good one, The failure to deliver even one 2023 issue on a 19.99 subscription makes this magazine an absolute failure. Save you money unless you gain access to old magazines. No better than common thieves for take money and not delivering.

Does not seem to be publishing anymore

Was a fun magazine but they went dark in 2021, then published only 3 issues in 2022. Had the audacity to charge a renewal in April 2023 but have not published for 9 months.

Don’t bother

Does not matter if it was any good as far as content. They had ONE magazine last year. Issue 1is all I got for 19.99. Tried to get money back but no response so far. Save your money.

Publisher appears to have gone or stopped making new issues

My subscription has remained valid, but as of Dec 2020, there has only been 1 issue published during 2020. There has been 6 per year before now.
I can’t recommend a new subscription until/unless the publisher speaks to this matter with some urgency.
Apple should also consider suspending the app from the Apple store, again, until the publisher speaks to this matter.

Magazine great, subscription not so much

I purchased a two year subscription last summer but somehow the website and app "reset" every few months maling my account disappear. This means I can't read online, can't download with the ios app, etc. Every time this happens I have to contact support through email and they have done some "magic" to fix the issue quickly. Not this time, crickets for a week... I'm starting to wonder if the magazine went bankrupt?

Great for learning electronics

I bought a lifetime subscription 40 years ago and I still love it and learn something new every now and then.

Don’t Waste Your Money

Paid for a year digital subscription in January. It’s mid-May. So I paid $20 for a single issue that I could have paid $5 for at the newsstand. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

Almost

T&L Publications got Servo Magazine right. It's in the Newstand where it belongs. However, Nuts & Volts Magazine does not load into the Newsstand like it should. So it winds up mixed up with the rest of your apps.

Let's get that straightened out.

26 May 2013

Despite writing to the publishers regarding the fact that N&V is not in the Newstand where it belongs and getting a stupid reply back blaming Apple as to why, the publishers still have not gotten this straightened out with the current version of the magazine. Still no landscape capability either.

Revision needed

You can't zoom in very well, It doesn't take full advantage of the iPhone 5's screen, no landscape, not newsstand compatible, and in app downloads are slow. plus you don't get the magazine! Instead buy the magazine and read the digital copy in your reader.

Review

The magazine is great. The app is the worst ever. Each month I get a notification on my iPad that the digital edition is ready, and each month the app asks me to pay for the issue or a subscription. I cannot even sign in as the app never seems to complete its connection. Nuts and Volts should find a competent digital provider.

Very slow

The app is nice to have, but needs a lot of work. It is very slow to load, lags when going to a different page.

This is what I've been waiting for

Excellent combination of the look and feel of the magazine combined with readable text content that I can use on my mobile device. Now I have the print copy at home and a great usable mobile copy while away from home.
