### 1/5 — Still awful

*2021-02-07*

Subscribed and can’t download anything.  Still have to buy issues which don’t stay put or downloaded. Flicking through pages the app crashes and closes. 

Gave a bad review 3 years ago. Nothings improved. Does anyone read these ?

### 5/5 — I fixed my problem.

*2018-04-01*

You have to go to your library if you order a subscription, otherwise it makes you pay for the articles that you've already subscribed to. (Which is really weird)

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2015-12-28*

I love this magazine! It offers another source of great information on all kinds of herps. I'm really glad I found it!

### 4/5 — Great Magazine, Mediocre App

*2015-08-16*

The magazine itself is fantastic, with stunning pictures, relevant and up-to-date information (with references to the original source papers) and useful articles and adverts. However, I have found that the app itself, especially on the ipad, has a lot of issues with crashing and downloading. Would have rated 5 stars if it weren't for these issues, which are no closer to being fixed since the app's inception.

### 5/5 — Very Informative!

*2015-06-29*

All I have to say is wow! Excellent job! Just keeps bringing me back for more. Finally found a herp mag that keeps me up to date with the herping world! My crestie loves the pics, lol.

### 3/5 — Helps

*2015-03-14*

Best informational source ever

### 4/5 — Lol

*2014-09-27*

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-09-05*

Great app really helps

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2013-11-29*

I'm into all sorts of reptiles. I'm running 7 different tanks. From frogs to Tegus. Soon as I get paid I'll be buying so I can actually read the articles. Good stuff. 👍

### 3/5 — Good

*2013-06-25*

Very good
