### 5/5 — Wonderful way to learn things as a new woodworker

*2025-01-04*

As a new Woodworker, this magazine has taught me many things and hasn’t been over my head with terms or techniques and how things are presented. I’m able to learn and take away knowledge and make sense of things and be able to build my own thoughts and knowledge base and learn steps towards better ways to do things and advance what to do in my learning.

### 2/5 — Cumbersome and inconsistent

*2024-12-01*

This app is not intuitive. Sometimes I can login and sometimes I can’t. I get emails with current articles, 
Yet, I can’t view them when I try to log in

### 1/5 — A joke

*2024-02-22*

A bad joke of an app, subscription, and publishing company. Maybe the material's good but my PW+ subscription doesn't provide access to very much at all. Waste of my money subscribing and a waste of my time trying to navigate the useless app.

### 1/5 — Frustrated

*2024-02-08*

At the moment even though I have subscribed to this magazine for years, I seem to have to contact them to gain access to each new release !!

### 2/5 — Every time I open I have to restore purchases

*2020-09-11*

Seriously

### 1/5 — Yet another cant log in

*2019-10-13*

Can’t log in by my subscriber number, can’t see my issues under my email address.  Got an email telling me my message to customer support was blocked.  At this point I have several years of back issues, which were already cached on my device, that I can’t access.  Guess I’ll be making a phone call on Monday.  Not impressed with the upgrade.

### 1/5 — Cannot restore purchases within app

*2019-10-04*

This app is so ridiculous. Their customer service doesn’t respond. If you purchase a subscription you cannot read the magazines you’ve paid for. 
Great magazine. 
Horrible and useless app.

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2019-10-04*

I subscribed to Popular Woodworking magazine for both digital & print editions I can’t even login.  Tried contacting support via email but no help.  Popular woodworking stopped responding blaming my ZINIO account.  I called and was transferred to the digital support group 3 days ago...  They were to get back to me.  I’m still waiting.  Seems like a big scam to me at this point.  How about it Popular Woodworking Magazine?

### 1/5 — Doesn’t deliver

*2018-10-30*

I subscribed, but it won’t download. Won’t restore my previous purchases. Don’t buy the digital edition from their site either. Never emailed issues. When I contacted about the problem, they couldn’t find any record of my purchase despite the fact that I had my confirmation email with all of the details

### 1/5 — Can’t restore

*2018-10-09*

Keeps saying will restore in few minutes but it doesn’t.
