Restarting the app several times seems to remedy that though. ### 5/5 — Great magazine. *2014-09-28, version 5.1* Great magazine. ### 4/5 — Fab *2013-08-13, version 2.0.0* Love the new issue, especially the goldfish! ### 5/5 — Great *2013-08-05* This is a great mag for any fish keepers and has some great interactive features in electronic form! ### 1/5 — Useless *2013-05-24, version 1.0.3* I use lots of magasine apps! This is by far the worst. It just doesn't work! Can't get it to load up! ### 1/5 — Outrageous Price *2013-02-14* Free app but 5.99 per issue - unacceptable for digital media! ### 1/5 — Awful *2013-01-06* Initially this app would not download the issues I had paid for but now the app won't even open. Load of poor reviews & no update since the end of October - sort this out please!! ### 1/5 — Unable to download *2013-01-04* Same problem as others - download stops half way? ### 1/5 — Download problems *2013-01-04* Same issue as the other two reviewers February 2013 won't download. Even once you follow all the troubleshooting ideas on the magazines website ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Restoring not working *2019-09-22* Will not all me to restore my previous issues. Feeling ripped off by PFK! ### 1/5 — Truly awful app and support is terrible *2019-09-08* All purchased mags vanished. Took ages to get them restored. Current issues for which I have paid are not in the library. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Don’t subscribe *2019-06-11* Can’t access any of my purchases ### 1/5 — New app has stolen my magazines. *2019-05-27* Having had magazines on the old app the new app has deleted the copies and will no longer recognise me. The new app provider appears to be a new company ( pocket mags) who want me to tap on a none secure website link to get a new password....who are they?? No one links on emailed websites unless stupid. The new app auto downloaded. If you get a choice DONT DO IT ### 1/5 — Rip off. *2019-04-10* Being a subscriber of practical fish keeping print and digital, just found out and been informed by customer support, the app will no longer allow me to read my digital print. Useless. ### 1/5 — What Sale? *2019-02-14* I'm in search of a good aquarium magazine. PFK caught my eye and I got really excited about the back issues for 99 cents sale. Installed the app to Newsstand, opened it up, and I see every magazine priced at $5.49! Needless to say my excitement is now crushed. What gives? Reduced to one star. App just crashes now when launched. Completely unusable. ### 1/5 — Crashes continually *2017-08-02* Unusable crashes continually on my iPad 2. ### 1/5 — Joke *2014-10-02, version 5.1* They'll be skint in no time, it won't even let be buy the latest issue :-( ### 1/5 — Mmmm *2014-09-12, version 5.1* Keeps crashing liked old version better ### 1/5 — Poor! *2013-12-12, version 3.0.0* Not impressed with this app at all. Just so slow and it crashes! The Tropical Habitat app is so much better and it's dedicated to trops!! I also heard that Marine Habitat mag is also excellent! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing images, great features *2020-04-22* Learnt so much from this mag ### 5/5 — Excellent magazine! *2020-04-22* Each issue offers a huge variety of helpful information and tips. ### 5/5 — Best Aquarium magazine by far! *2020-01-20* Tons of stuff every month on a variety of topics. I find myself reading nearly the whole magazine every month. Online aquarium forums are all over the map as far as advice is concerned and it really is nice to have professional aquarist sorting through all the conflicting opinions. ### 5/5 — Best FishKeeping Magazine *2019-06-03* I own every digital copy of FishKeeping magazine. The app has a great search engine that allows you to search almost 5 years of magazines making this the equivalent to an encyclopedia. Good fish books are hard to find! The photography is amazing. You can use your iPad to blow up the photos to show amazing detail. Nothing is out of focus. The editor is also amazing in his knowledge of all aspects of FishKeeping and is well connected in the community to find the experts to write on everything required to cover a well balanced magazine covering enough topics to keep all fish-keepers no matter how well read they are, coming back to read this publication. Yes this an expensive magazine, but I would pay more to maintain the superb quality and diversity it offers. Customer Service is good. The recent buyout of the magazine by PocketMags was a very positive move with the issues since being some of the best they ave ever produced. Thank you for bringing Planted Tanks to the list of topics. It was way over due. ### 5/5 — Best fish keeping magazine *2019-05-30* Have always loved PFK ever since I was 12. Brilliant magazine easy to read and does a fantastic job of covering all aspects of the hobby. ### 5/5 — Amazing Fish Magazine *2017-01-28, version 6.0* I live in Hong Kong, hence I subscribe to the digital version of PFK. This is an incredible magazine for aquarium enthusiast because there are definitely something fascinating to read every time. ### 5/5 — Very enjoyable *2016-10-13* PFK covers the range of fishkeeping topics really well and is an informative read throughout. I keep tropical and pond fish and, even if a particular issue doesn't include a totally relevant article for my needs, I learn something new every month. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Great magazine *2016-06-07* Excellent read which is rich in information. ### 5/5 — 99p back issues *2016-06-04* This is a great magazine and very helpful. Also 99p back issues is a fantastic idea. I'm buying copies from 2 years ago that I otherwise wouldn't have done for full price. Keep this up. Fantastic idea. ### 5/5 — Mr *2016-03-01, version 5.14* An excellent magazine well presented. Worth every penny. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
