The app works just fine. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer have access to my subscription *2015-06-22* I doubt anyone reads these, but I cannot access my paid print subscription via this app anymore. It keeps telling me to subscribe or buy the issue... even though I'm signed in and am paid up for another year. Typical magazine app behavior these days... changing for no particular reason. I can hardly wait until iOS 9 and its alleged "improvements" mess everything up completely. ### 1/5 — A Pain to Use *2015-05-31* The app is not simple to follow - if you tell me the issue is ready to download it should be seamless and not require one to go thru steps before downloading. Frustrating!!!! ### 1/5 — App Does Not Even Work *2014-09-23* The update took a fine iOS7 app and turned it into an iOS8 app that does not function. No access to prior downloaded issues. No ability to down load the issues again. It's a DOG. Delete it and go back to the hard copy. Bummer, as I'm on my way to AZ Wine County this weekend and the iPad version would have been great to have. I'll bring the printed copy... This is perfect example of why you cannot rely on online delivery of content!!!! ### 1/5 — Does not work *2013-02-12* I have been unable to download any issues. Just sits in waiting status. Should use an app like Zinio that actually works. ### 1/5 — Needs Work *2013-02-11* The most recent issue is not available for download....only old issues. What good is that? ### 2/5 — ??? *2013-05-28* Too complicated to down load new monthly subscriptions ### 3/5 — No landscape mode *2017-03-20* Very good app to read digital issues of the magazine, but would be better if it had landscape mode for the iPad. ### 5/5 — Informed *2020-11-07* Phoenix mag keeps you informed as to what is going on in our community. Thanks ### 5/5 — The craft beer blogs are epic *2020-05-20* Great pieces of journalism and even better dining coverage in the Phoenix area ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-05-20* This app is everything has it all. The layout is very user friendly. It provides a wealth of information and it perfectly compliments an already incredible magazine. Great work!! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super Convenient *2016-06-30* I love how easy this app is to navigate! It also is easy to read and downloads at the speed of light! I wouldn't change a thing! ### 5/5 — PJG *2015-01-09* Outstanding app for a first class city. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2014-09-03* I'm a longtime subscriber to the magazine. That stated, the amount of content is amazing. This App makes reading the magazine a pleasure. And I'm reading on an iPod! The scrolling is intuitive, the font size is large enough. The app holds my place. Is it worth the subscription price? If you wonder if the App will work for you... I like it. ### 5/5 — Bringing it to life *2013-07-19* I love both my print and digital versions. But, the digital version brings it all to life and expands the magazine by being able to connect to Internet to get more information. Good job Phoenix Magazine! ### 5/5 — Convenient *2013-05-19* It is wonderful having a choice between the paper and electronic versions. Photos are vibrant and I like the convenience of carrying addresses and phone numbers of restaurants and other places of interest in my iPad. ### 5/5 — A Wonderful Way to Read *2013-03-23* This could not be any easier & convenient. ### 5/5 — Phoenix magazine *2013-03-14* Great app and magazine! Digital content needs to arrive faster. I usually have my hard copy days before digital copy. Only drawback I see! Hopefully that will change. So glad I can get digitally! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
