### 1/5 — This app is trash and they stole my money.

*2023-06-09*

Just shutdown, took all my back issues away and now doesn’t work at all. I have no idea why Apple lets this rotting corpse stay in the App Store. Avoid this app at all costs.

### 1/5 — My old purchases are not available

*2023-05-18*

The issues I purchased 5 years or so ago no longer appear in my library; I followed all instructions in the help screen multiple times with no effect. I would like to purchase issues but I think I can “find” it elsewhere; if your app doesn’t work, what do expect people to do.

### 5/5 — Must have if you’re into prog music

*2023-05-17*

Great in-depth articles, also all major album releases listed and reviewed. Fantastic source of info.

**Developer response:** Many thanks for your review! We're always pleased to receive positive feedback and suggestions from our readers, and will be sure to pass on your comments to the editorial team. 

Thanks, 

The Digital Support Team

### 5/5 — Best progressive Rock Magazine I know

*2021-11-27*

Compared With german Prog magazine „eclipsed“ „PROG“ is number one.

### 2/5 — Nice mag but app very poor

*2021-04-01*

I was looking forward to getting this regularly but had nothing but trouble with the app & the account set up. Finally got a mag down only to find I can only have it on either my iPad or my phone. Not both. Considering cancelling

### 1/5 — Been years with no fixes

*2021-03-07*

It's March 2021, and I'm experiencing the same issues that have been posted here for six years. Purchased issues have been deleted and not restored, then total login failures that haven't been addressed. Can't change your password or otherwise workaround log in errors. They have my money, and I remain locked out. Ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Paying for extras

*2019-07-20*

Why do you have to pay for extras you get free with the printed edition e.g. the Jethro Tull magazine ?

### 5/5 — Good mag app.

*2017-11-14*

Just hope it’s still running as the last issue was for October.

### 5/5 — One of a Kind

*2017-02-24*

Support this magazine, as it's quality, content and uniqueness are one of a kind, and we are unlikely to see the likes of it again.

### 1/5 — Used to be a huge fan

*2017-02-18*

The latest app update deleted all issues and after restoring purchases, am missing a number of special issues that I purchased over the years.   This is completely unacceptable.   Fix this or give refunds on what we bought.
