### 2/5 — More Crashes Than a Demolition Derby

*2025-12-01*

The app crashes every time I use it.  It takes multiple tries to use a single article. I have to “restore purchase” every time I open app.  As a move through a single issue articles only partially load. It is very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Not able to get to my content

*2025-10-24*

I just purchased an all access subscription. I log in to the app and nothing happens. It wants me to pay to open the content.  The app does not seem to be working.

### 4/5 — Horrible customer service

*2025-06-13*

Unable to access digital content due to error message - account does not exist - and no one will respond to my request for assistance.

### 5/5 — A wonderful magazine that stimulates me to think about my body and how healthy it can be

*2024-12-28*

I sit down with this magazine and place sticky tabs on the sections I want to delve further into. This magazine hits HOME and give me great. Ideas for living better.

### 1/5 — Cannot get access!!

*2024-08-12*

I have messaged repeatedly with no response. I’ve had a subscription for decades and do not have an email address on file with you all. Do I have to pay additional for online access?

### 1/5 — Jumps around

*2024-08-03, version 25.0*

Too touchy

### 1/5 — Too glitchy

*2024-02-21*

This app sometimes allows me to open a magazine, but more often than not it doesn’t work. Also it isn’t user friendly. If I open something up, it doesn’t allow me to go back.

### 1/5 — Cannot not open

*2024-02-20, version 25.0*

Subscribed but can not open

### 4/5 — Informative

*2024-01-24*

Easy to read but factual

### 2/5 — Missing Magaznes.

*2023-04-08*

I would love the app more if I got the digital magazines monthly as the subscription promotes.  I have contacted customer service without success. Currently, I am missing March and April, but May just popped up.
