### 5/5 — Wonderful and informative

*2025-12-10*

Well done, look forward to each issue.

### 2/5 — New issues

*2023-07-04*

New issues fail to down load

### 1/5 — They have gone from best to last.  What a waste of money

*2021-08-02*

Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — What a horrendous digital solution

*2020-08-21*

These guys are clueless when it comes to digital magazine subscriptions. They continually change their app and screw things up. I loved the magazine, but it’s really not worth the headache trying to get the magazines from the subscription you have paid for. Steer clear of this publication.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2019-07-13*

This app is total garbage. Being a Passagemaker magazine subscriber for decades, this App will stop working every now and then. When contact the App support, all they are interested in getting your magazine receipt from probably a year or more ago. They should learn what customer service is and work with the magazine to solve the problem.  At the end of the day, this app doesn’t work, it’s deleted.

### 1/5 — Developers not to use

*2019-07-11*

This developer must have a application testing staff of one, to release this latest version and not come close to having it work correctly is incomprehensible.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2019-07-01*

I spent an hour trying to make the app work. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2019-06-29*

I have several years worth of issues. I have had to reinstall the app and re-download all of them three times. Now, all the older issues are scrambled up and I can’t read any of them. So, either I start from scratch or give up. And to think I pay annually for the honor of using this dreadful piece of software.

### 1/5 — Love the Magazine, Hate the App

*2018-09-24*

This is the third time I have had to re-install the App. It keeps losing me and my purchases. What a other! It’s been over 2 years since it has been updated- 3 operating systems ago. Really? I wish PMM would choose a new delivery app.

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2018-08-08*

The app continually says maximizing space on start up, download keep getting deleted and it fails when you are offline on the plane. Great publication but the application is a total failure.
