### 1/5 — Issues with login and access to megazines

*2026-07-31*

Couple of things don’t make sense. Customer number is used password instead of the actual password. Once logged in and refreshed the app (or closed and reopened) I still cannot access magazines and it’s asking for payment. I’d be happy to review the app once these issues are resolved

### 1/5 — Disappointed with the App experience

*2025-05-30*

App heats up my iPad Air like a furnace and drains battery, how could you mess up an app that has a very simple functionality?

### 1/5 — Unable to open issues

*2024-04-26*

I have a subscription, through apple but the app says I need to subscribe.

### 1/5 — Magazine is great. App is terrible.

*2023-08-10*

I have to “restore purchases” every time a new issue comes out. Some times I have to download it multiple times too. 

  When trying to read, the brightness level will go down in steps until the brightness is all the way down. I have to restart my phone in order to adjust the brightness again. 

  With the app open, the phone gets hot and the batter drains really fast. Like something is running in the background. Are they trying to mine bitcoin with the phone or something? 

  Once the phone gets hot enough, the app constantly crashes. 

 Please fix your app or let your fantastic magazine be read on a different app like it use to be.

### 1/5 — Not useable

*2022-11-21*

Can’t read any issue despite an active subscription.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2022-11-02*

This app is completely worthless!!  I have purchased the printed magazine which advertises that you’ll have access to all digital issues including the archived issues.  NOT TRUE!!  I have tried to login with email and customer number numerous times with no success.  I have spent months working with their customer service with ZERO results or help!!  DO NOT THINK THAT YOU WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE DIGITAL ISSUES. This company might be the worst that I have ever dealt with!  Chelsea Magazine is a joke!!  Avoid like the plague!!

### 1/5 — Racecar eng.

*2022-07-17*

cant load previous purchases.....

### 1/5 — Racecar engineering

*2022-04-18*

I have a subscription and it constantly asks me to buy issues. 
I refresh the app and it still does it.
Very disappointing….

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2018-08-29*

I purchased the December 2013 issue a few years back on my iPad 1st gen. obviously it doesn’t work now, so I downloaded this app on my iPhone. Charged again for downloading the same issue, and app crashes when I try to download it and view.

Absolute rip off.

Even the app support page doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Crashes upon selecting an issue

*2017-02-09*

Would love to start reading again but every time I open the issue the app crashes spectacularly to the home screen :(
