### 3/5 — Helps

*2015-03-14*

Best informational source ever

### 4/5 — Lol

*2014-09-27*

So once I got this app I spent a lot of time on this app it's awesome very interesting

### 3/5 — Good

*2013-06-25*

Very good

### 4/5 — A lot better!

*2011-11-23*

Big improvement with this update!   Text could be sharper when you zoom in, but its a lot better!

### 2/5 — Hmm...

*2011-11-01*

You didn't really advertise that you had to buy each issue indervidually

### 3/5 — Potential..

*2011-09-10*

This app has the potential to be fantastic... You can download and buy an individual magazine or a 1/2 year or 1 year subscription... However the magazine is really difficult to read on the iphone... Even after zooming in... They shouldn't advertise this product saying it's for the iPhone as well as the iPad... when quite clearly it isn't. A massive update for the iPhone is needed. I won't be buying any more issues until it is updated. It's like they haven't even had someone check it's readable... Really disappointed as I was really exited to learn it was being released in the app store....

Ok... Updated... You can read it a little bit better if you turn the iPhone to landscape... 3* rather than 1* as it still isn't crystal clear.

### 3/5 — Lower price!

*2011-08-07, version 3.1.2*

Basically I really enjoy this app however, it is way to expensive for each issue and i think if you bring it down a few bucks more people will be inclinded to buy. Otherwise good work!

### 1/5 — Disappointing!

*2011-07-09*

I was dubious about buying this app and I was proved right you can't buy any issues when you login it says something about parental controls but it doesn't give you options to change them...

### 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 ?

### 1/5 — Doesn't get past loading screen :(

*2013-01-05*

I've been a subscriber of this magazine for years now.
Previous versions of is app have worked fine until now.
It just won't load past the loading screen and keeps crashing !! 
Please sort it out FIX ASAP !

### 1/5 — Won't open

*2012-10-08*

This does not open.

### 1/5 — Does not work!

*2012-09-23*

Worked fine the first time I used it, but since then it will not get past the title screen! I have tried deleting the app, then doing a full reboot. (Not just turning iPad off and on). Then started again with downloading, but still it just crashes. 

PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE get it sorted as I love your mag.But i am starting to get frustrated now.

### 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!

### 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.

### 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. 👍

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2013-06-16*

Love this mag -- very informative!

### 5/5 — Works fine for me

*2013-01-05*

Read the previous three reviews, have a iPhone 4 and a iPad 3 boy with latest iOS and works fine for me.

### 5/5 — Much easier

*2012-01-16*

As I am visualy impared I find this much easier to read than the actually magazine, good job!

### 5/5 — Reptiles

*2012-01-12*

First

This magazine is very helpfully. The pictures are great and they have a lot of articles per magazine. Much better then any other reptile magazine.

### 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.
