Marxist BLM

As an equestrian, who happens to be black, I'm very disappointed and disgusted that this magazine has decided to disregard MLK and his dream:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Marxism is behind BLM, not ”diversity”.
All lives matter or no lives matter. Period.
I have promptly cancelled my subscription until you stop this racist nonsense.

App

Don’t waste your money. The app doesn’t work.

Took my money, doesn’t work

If you haven’t figured out by now that this area is a complete rip off and doesn’t work, will then try for yourself. Apples should remove this app from the App Store

HORRIBLE NEVER WORKS

Unfortunately this app never works. Issues don’t download or open. I’m very disappointed!

Worst app ever

This went from bad to worse ... don’t buy. So sad as other mags have long since found a way to share their content online, but this is a disaster from start to finish.

You will lose your money

Not only did I lose access to all of my previous issues, as stated in the other reviews, I could no longer access my account after a week and the developer's help page no longer exists so there is no way to get help or your money back.

Love the magazine itself, hate the app.

Love the content of these magazines, but it would be nice if I could actually read them. I can't view any of the issues I've paid for, because whenever I try to log in to access them, I get the message "Authentication Failed". I have so far found no way to resolve this problem, and can't find a link anywhere to help me.

Horrible!

Only first 6 pages will download! What the heck?!?!?

Authorization failed

Cant read my magazine !

Can't read any of them

I can't read any of my year long paid subscription because it says "authentication failed" whenever I put in my CORRECT password. It's always done this from the first day I subscribed.

In the app, there is no way to recover or change the password either, nor is there anyway to get help. I tracked down the website finally, only to consistently get an error, page not found message.

If anyone from the company reads this review, I would LOVE to be able to read the magazines that I PAY for. Help!!!

Don't buy

I love the magazine itself but I do not recommend purchasing any issues through the app. It never loads the full issue, usually only gives you the first 6 pages...for $3.99! I'm a subscriber to the print version and like I said the magazine itself is excellent but this app is a rip off. Won't use it again until they update it. I've tried with several issues and the same thing always happens-- I pay the $3.99 for 6 or 8 pages (just advertisements and the table of contents) but have yet to be able to access a single article. Very disappointing.

Don't buy!

Horrible, horrible service. I also had the experience of my subscription working for one year, but upon auto-renewal I can no longer download any issues (past, present, or future). iTunes says my subscription is active, but every time I try to download an issue the app tells me the authorization has failed and I do not have access to the content. This has been going on for one whole year without resolution. I'm out the entire $20, could not get a refund, and eventually just went back and bought the paper magazine. Thank goodness iTunes reminded me it was about to auto-renew again, which allowed me to promptly turn it off. Great magazine, but this app is a money pit where you get absolutely nothing for your dollars - no magazine, no service, no refunds! Beware!

Crash. Crash. Crash.

Love the magazine, but this app is so buggy. No update since 11/2014? Ugh

Poor support

I enjoyed this magazine the first year I subscribed. Once it auto-renewed for the next year suddenly it was promoting me to buy each magazine and I was unable to sign in in Newstand to load my subscription information. I paid for a whole other year that I cannot access. I am tech-savy and have tried everything. Apple won't respond to give me a refund or fix the issue, so I have conceded that I am out $11 or $12 or whatever I paid for the next year. As insult to injury, the link here in the store to "app support" goes nowhere.

Do not subscribe!

This only works if you buy a magazine for $3.99. None of the subscriptions work. I bought a 3 month one year ago. I foolishly thought it might be fixed. The one month subscription does not work either.

Month to month problem

Having the magazine on line is great and very handy. But maybe I misunderstand how e-subscriptions work. I paid for a month to month subscription ($1.99/mo) and auto-renew. However, when I go to download the monthly issue, it wants to charge me $3.99. What gives?

My magazine

I have been a practical horseman subscriber for at least 15 years. I recently purchased an iPad and read it on my tablet now. I love it.

Awesome

Monthly subscription gives you access to back issues (as well as current issue), which you can download or read online. Pages are crisp and clean and the app remembers where you left off. Very nice!
