Can’t download my paid issues …

I am a subscriber for years and the app does not allow me to download or read any issue of 2024.
To contact People is impossible because I subscribed throught the app store (and never received any ID or login info or any other info) and the only way to send them a message is completing many required infos, that i do not have) so I can press send ….
Where are my issues that I already paid for ??!!!
I am so frustraded !!!

Renewal nonsense

Every time my subscription renews (and is paid up) this stupid app can’t figure it out and wants me to pay for the next issue. Whoever designed this app is a moron.

Digital Subscription Not Recognizing on IPad

I’ve had a digital subscription for almost a year and being able to access my subscription through the app is very appealing to me. However, recently my IPad has stopped recognizing my digital subscription and when I try to access an issue, the app seems to think that I should pay for each issue…which has become VERY annoying. And to top it off, this isn’t the first time I’ve had this problem! Ugh! I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, I’ve synced my library, I’ve restored my purchases, and Iast week I reached out to support (with no response). Nothing has fixed the issue and this is my last straw. Thanks People magazine, but it’s time to say goodbye.

Major Fail

Have used the app for many years and for whatever reason certain regular issues don't come up as "read" only "buy" even though subscription is current. Support response used to be same day. This time it was one week, and still no resolution. Have deleted and reinstalled app. Force synced, restored library, all the fixes suggested before. Last two issues still not accessible. Won't be be renewing my subscription in April.

Missing Magazines and No Response for Assistance

I have been a digital subscriber for about 10 years. This is my 3rd time for missing issues on my iPad. The first two times with immediate response and resolve. This time it has been a week and have not resolved my issue. All three times, I have performed all trouble shooting suggestions ( refresh, updated app, force sync, restore purchases, etc). All of which has not resolve all issues. Am very frustrated and will request for refund due to me and will cancel subscription.

From,
A very disappointed reader

Digital Subscription Will Not Download To My IPad

Usually web support has quickly responded to my issues with the app and there have been many but resolved same day. Now my digital subscription will not properly download on my iPad. States it is downloaded but when you open it all the pages are blank. It will download to my iPhone but at 71 years of age it is not easy to read. Three days have passed since I contacted app support and it has been total silence. I usually renew for 6 months but if web support is nonexistent then it is time to leave. Hope others have better luck than I have with this app

Post Script. Tech support emailed and in a matter of minutes fixed the problem. Thanks to the support staff. Thanks, again

Access to online issues.

Before the new app you could read your current issue on Thursday night instead of having to wait until Friday. Should be one of the perks for online issues. Also have been a long time subscriber (over 30) and never get any specials like new subscribers get like tote bags, etc. Now I can’t get my current issue to load. Always something with this magazine!

So frustrating

I love People magazine. But every now and again I just randomly stop getting my (paid for) issues and it’s almost impossible to get any help! I’ve lost or missed so many, and at this cost, this shouldn’t happen.

Renew subscription

My subscription expired in Dec of 2022 and I have been trying to renew since then without success .
I paid for the subscription through Discount Magazine on Feb 14
and never received any issues .I have been communicating with them ever since without success . ( they are telling me you are the problem )
Today I finally expressed enough displeasure to have them agree to cancel and return my payment .
Now I have again tried to place an order but it seems all links end up with another order taking company but not People itself .
How do I reorder directly ?

Serious app issues

I would love to give this app a great review but I just can’t…there always seams to be an issue with getting new issues every week even when you do have a subscription. And forget about getting a new device…your issues are veer restored even after trying to sync your library Please try to fix this issue, it’s not fair to subscribers who pay for a service and to not receive their magazines.

Favorite Guilty Pleasure

I so look forward to Fridays when I can indulge in a new weekly dose of People! This magazine has been a treat to me since it began. I read each issue from cover to cover. Thank you for such a pleasant escape.

Worst app!

Won’t download current magazine

Once again the current mag. Won’t load. Long time subscriber with auto renew. Happens ever so often requiring intervention by People. Very annoying!

Worst App

I have been on automatic renewal for years. Every few times there is a glitch where I am charged for my subscription but can only get the magazine if I pay for it. The account help is horrible and my problem is responded to in days. After years u would think they would get this fixed

Unfortunate

I enjoyed this app until I didn’t. Have subscribed for years but I haven’t been able to access for two months no matter what I’ve tried. I’m paying, but no access. And no recourse it seems.

Unreliable

App only works occasionally. Just renewed People Magazine on auto renew through iTunes and subscription did not update. Date says it is good through December 2022 but won’t let me read issues. I’ve deleted, reinstalled app and it doesn’t work!!
