Car mags

This app is hands down the best app for reading car mags! Better variety and more content than the Porsche Club mag app in every way, but especially a much easier interface than the PCA magazine.

This Is One!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is hands down my favorite app for reading digital magazines! The selection is fantastic, and I love that I can read each issue in its original PDF format or switch to the reader view for an even better reading experience. You can subscribe to individual magazines or upgrade to the Read All You Want Plus Plan for unlimited access to an incredible library. If you enjoy magazines, this app is absolutely worth it. I use it all the time and couldn’t recommend it more!

EXCELLENT APP

Excellent app well worth the money saves going to the shops to buy your mags.

Thanks

Good site and service.

Clear,Concise, Convenient

I have thoroughly enjoyed Pocketmags App. I have low vision and this app makes it easy for me to read the mags that I enjoy. Lost of great reads available

All About History

I used Pocketmags to access the magazine All About History. I have enjoyed the ease of use. There are a huge number of different publications that can be accessed through this app.

Perfect “Go To” App

This is the perfect “Go To” app for my magazine/book zine reading. Excellent selection and price. Highly recommended!

Great App

Lots of great magazines available for you browsing pleasure. Enjoy!

NO Access to PURCHASED MATERIAL?!

After paying standard monthly subscription fee ($10.95) for several months, cancelled due to very little use. I assumed that I would have no access to any future issues and this of course proved to be true. Sadly, what I didn't expect and BUYER BEWARE; I now have NO ACCESS to 'old, outdated' material previously downloaded. KEEP THIS IN MIND BEFORE YOU 'PURCHASE'

love reading my digital magazine

I look forward to reading the week, so informative and I really like the Europe and World maps (regarding latest events).

Pocketmags June 26

I have this on my android phone and tablet and recently was given an ipad. The ap works so much better on Android and tbh is a pain if I've only got the iPad available. Trying to find older issues is cumbersome and sometimes so frustrating I feel like cancelling my subscription

HiFi magazine

Great way to get new information without getting it with all the postal damage

Railway Digest magazines

Can I have the read out aloud voice on my iPad

I have several titles

Proved totally reliable so far would recommend to anyone

A great app

It’s like having a library and newsagent at your fingertips !

Mostly great

Really happy with the app, and being able to read loads of back issues when you have a subscription for a certain magazine (in my case, Retro Gamer). I really like the Article view, as it makes it easier to read on a phone.

There a few things that could be improved.

Sometimes the article view misses out headings, doesn’t line up text with screenshots, or sometimes just gets the word wrong (there was a ‘Composer Q&A, which the article view converted to ‘Computer Q&A).

I don’t like that it instantly downloads an issue of a magazine the moment you open it. I like that you can download issues, but sometimes I go through a few to find one I want to read. I then have to manually delete each one I didn’t want to read. If I forget, it uses up precious space on my phone.

Other than these minor gripes, I’m very happy with the app.

Doesn’t work

It won’t let me create an account, won’t send me a code for a forgotten password, basically won’t let me in at all.
As a minor issue, it also won’t let me set up a nickname of any sort.

I am awaiting customer support, though I am not holding my breath because I have been here before.

Good but not great

This app is very convenient for reading magazines but I wish it showed you the date issues were released

Where’s my magazine?

Purchased two magazines today through the app. One appeared and the other displayed an error. I tried to restore my purchases and that errored too. So I’m left with a bill for a magazine I have no access to. I contacted support detailing the issue and they sent me back questions that I had already answered. The most fundamental thing an app like this needs to do is provide the goods that have been paid for. This app does not appear to do that.
