Defunct Magazine
Was checking to see why I hadn’t received the August 2023 issue. Outdoor Photographer ceased publication with the June/July 2023 issue. No notification to subscribers. Beware!
Outdoor Photographer
They are no longer publishing this magazine.
Paid through May 2024 and can’t get a refund.
They are a scam and rip off.

Not working
The app started out well but does not upload new magazines. It uploaded two issues (June/July and August issues) and then stopped working.
Wish it was better
Not a big fan of the layout but the biggest let down is that the images do not look high quality. They look like low resolution jpgs that distract from the subject and undermine the readers experience
Easy to use
After reading the first two issues I can't wait to read the latest one. I love the way the magazine displays and the ease of use. I love the articles and the stories. But most of all I love the images. Very inspiring....
Previous issues not showing up.
Just updated the app. Can only see issues from now until June 2019. I’ve had a digital subscription for several years. Where are the old issues? Or do I have to delete everything and start over - won’t have to be the first time :(
Terrible app
The app doesn’t recognize subscriptions either through the App Store or through the publisher. So the only option is to buy each magazine separately. Lame sauce.
Won’t download
Before downloading this app I checked the reviews and found quite a few that said they couldn’t get the mag to open. Well, they’re right. I downloaded it, signed in and tried to read my new mag subscription but couldn’t. Downloaded failed. I tried restoring my purchase. Failed! Delete!
Seriously flawed!
I purchased a Print and Digital subscription for Outdoor Photographer Plus ($60) Downloaded the app and followed the instructions for subscriber access. Next to impossible! Kept wanting me to pay an additional $4.99 per issue!!! Are you kidding me? Get your act together people. How can I easily get my digital access through this app??

Paid for nothing
Paid for a year subscription and can’t read any of the issues. The app says to restore purchases and every time I click on that I get restore failed. Buyer beware!
Don't waste your money!
Well, I purchased a subscription for this magazine 3 months ago. Everything worked smoothly until trying to download the July 2017 issue. The circle just spins like it's trying to download & it's been doing it for the last week. I have contacted the publisher...nothing fixed yet & no reply yet from the publisher.
Update: Now, it’s the end of October and still no fix? This is pathetic!

Very poor app
I have been a long time subscriber to the print version of Outdoor Photography. I decided not to renew the print subscription and elected to try the digital version. The first issue in the new digital subscription downloaded with no problem. However, the second issue in the digital subscription will not download. I complained to iTunes support and was referred to the app developer. I've given the app developer the pertinent information but have received no reply thus far. I wish I had read the other reviews before I tried the digital version. If I don't get some help soon, I'll cancel the subscription.

Good mag very poor app
The mag is great got it in paper form for years. The app is very very bad. Nothing but issues, you may or may not be able to download mags. If you do get it to download it may, almost always go away, get to read a few pages before the app crashes and you loose all downloads. And start the fight to get them back all over. I also sent them multiple emails and have never gotten a response. They need to get their act together bad..,, was told by outdoor photography the download issue is not their problem. Still will not slow down loads.

Non available for download
My subscription renewed in Feb of 2017, it is now June of 2017 and the current issue will not download no matter what I do. I have written to the publisher and requested a fix and have not had even the courtesy of an acknowledgement, I love this magazine, but this is not the first time I have had this problem, it always managed to correct itself before, but I am no longer willing to wait for some magical fix, as a result I have cancellled my subscription.

Content vs functionality
Love the content but having a lot of issues with the app re: buying a subscription but then not having access to previous issues or being able to purchase them.
Can't buy individual issue
I can't buy the current issue (June 2017) I keep getting an error pop up that says "Purchased Failed. Please try again". I have bought past issues with no problem and I have no problems buying from other photography magazines on my iPad so this is an issue on their end.
I've contacted them via their active Twitter account but they never replied. I guess they don't care if there is an issue with purchasing their product. Glad I didn't buy a subscription to their mag if this is what I can expect from customer service should I have an issue.
The other photography magazines I get are all based in England and wouldn't you know it, it's the American company I get crappy non existent customer service from, what a surprise 🙄😏👎🏻

Issues unavailable for download
What should be a simple app for reading this really great magazine is very frustrating. After paying for a 1 year subscription I am unable to download new issues. It acts as if I never purchased the subscription. This is apparently a known issue where the app gives some advice for how to try and fix but after many, many attempts still is not working. Very disappointing. If can't get it to work soon will just cancel my subscription.

Previous problem seems to be resolved
My original post is below. The issues I had have been resolved and the downloads have been smooth. Initial viewing of the magazine also appears to be very satisfactory. I am upgrading from one to four stars. The fifth star will need to await further evaluation.
(This is a useless app and my subscription at this point is worthless. The suggestions in the FAQ failed to work to work after muItiple tries. I deleted the app and reopened it to no avail. Even if it should work if I would have to download all the previous issues that I had, it would be quite a pain. I can not recommend this app unless it's fixed and automatically restores all previous downloads.)

Subscription not working
I have a subscription which expires next year, but I'm unable to view my previous issues or new issues without purchasing them individually. This seems to have happened after a recent update.
Also, even before, issues were sporadic coming. Often they would come two at a time instead of monthly.
I like the magazine, but I won't continue to give them my business.

Worst App ever
I love the magazine but this app is worthless. Prior to this app I received the digital version through Zino without issue. This app can't get the issues on time by at least a month and you have to delete and reinstall to see it once customer service tells you it's available. If you have OP on Zino keep it there until this app improves or is replaced with something better!
