### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-08-24, version 5.9.7*

This app is trash!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-05, version 5.9.5*

The newest 2 you have to buy, but I mostly read the old ones because I recently subscribed

### 1/5 — Crash prone!

*2026-04-15*

Subscribed for a year and find it crashing every time I try to open the app.  I want my money back if you cant fix it! Annoys as before paying for atleast I was able to view the old magazine and free copies atleast!  

Wastes the paying user’s time!

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-04-04, version 5.9.2*

Great 10/10 highly recommended am just a beginner and loving this app many thanks

### 5/5 — New Subscriber

*2025-03-16, version 5.9.2*

First time that I have subscribed to the Raspberry Pi’s magazine. I have had a chance to read it earlier and felt it was worth getting a subscription. I will review it again when I use it more frequently. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Редкий пример отличной информации

*2024-11-21*

Этот журнал находка для любителей DIY работающих с Raspberry. Большое количество полезной информации в одном месте.  Спасибо авторам.

### 5/5 — Preprogram

*2024-08-10, version 5.9*

I need a preprogramed sad card that has imager and it ALL. MY laptop is not cooperating and ,y sad card writer blows… help?, anyone?

### 1/5 — Horrible usability

*2024-03-18, version 5.8.9*

The raspberry pi website says this app makes reading the magazine issues easier so I gave it a try. The issues are just a long list of covers and as expected you either buy the issue or subscribe to get access. Preview shows tiny text and does not support zoom.  Search is broken - searched for “issue 30” and the results show other random issues. It is also not possible to filter accessible issues either, say if you pay for some or want to read the initial 30 free issues, prepare to scroll until you find it.

### 5/5 — Customer Service A+

*2023-07-03, version 5.8.7*

Great app. Even greater support team. Responded quickly and resolved my issue.

### 4/5 — Magazine is good.  App is “ok”.

*2022-11-24, version 5.8.5*

My particular beef is with having to constantly restore purchases.  This is not unique to MagPi.  Likely it is an App Store issue.  However, when I tried to write a review in the app, it was stuck in portrait view on my iPad Pro and I could not see or use the right side of the keyboard.  Also after restoring my purchases (I’ve been a subscriber for several years) it was downloading the current issue and asking me to pay for back issues.
