Disappointing

Please is there some way to get the paper magazine again. I am a lifetime member and don’t have a computer modern enough to download the latest magazines. It will cost me way too much to buy a new computer.

Response from developer

Hello Mr Ferguson. Sorry to hear you've been unable to access the digital version of the magazine -you don't need to download the magazines onto your desktop; there is a desktop version of the app that will allow you to read the magazines online without downloading them. Please call 0800 141 3318 and our customer care team will be able to assist you.

Magazine format

Unfortunately the format has been changed to one where you have to swipe through every article to get to the puzzles. Why? I was also told that the puzzles tab on the bar at the bottom should show different puzzles every day, it doesn’t, I have given up.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. The Saga Magazine app has improved since 2024, with a new daily feed with features from the Saga Magazine website, interactive games and puzzles and a clickable contents page so you can go straight to the stories that interest you, plus a search feature and some articles are also available to listen to.

It’s now awful

So disappointing. Full of ads, can’t do puzzles directly onto the screen any more. No contents pages to leaf through and then go st to page with a click.

So many good features

I have just been reading a couple of the articles in the December issue of Saga and have been reminded what a great range of personalities and stories this publication brings us. I always read Jeremy Paxman first as I enjoy his droll bordering on grumpy stories which nonetheless address real issues in life with some humour. Then I read the feature on donkeys and as an animal lover was touched by the story content and learned some very interesting facts about donkeys. I look forward to reading more of the features in the December issue of which there are so many.

Happy Christmas to everyone at Saga and look forward to everything you may feature in 2024.

Hello Canny Ken, thank you so much for your review! We hope you're still enjoying the Saga Magazine app.

Saga magazine app

We are joint lifetime members and have been forced to read the magazine via the app, to avoid postage charges.
We enjoy the content but keep getting logged off which means re-entering the voucher code. Both my husband and I read on separate devices which is possibly the problem but we are joint members.
Also we have noticed errors in the content with paragraphs being mixed up and at times not making sense.

Not the same online.

I much preferred my lifetime subscription in print and feel cheated by Saga and will no longer buy their products.

Very unhappy

The app is most frustrating, as it does not allow access even after logging in. Really frustrated with it, especially as I paid a lifetime subscription several years ago. Have read the magazine for 20 + years, but now feel cheated out of my subscription.

I really enjoy reading this magazine!

After a hard days working the digital Saga mag is relaxing reading, its informative, and entertaining. As a totally blind reader I particularly like the travel features, there so very discriptive, Philip and I really must visit Juan De La Cossa!

Something to look forward to

We all need something to cheer us up right now and what a delight the Saga Magazine is. It’s packed full of interesting features and the bright contemporary design is a treat for the eyes. I love the book reviews and how cool is it to be able to listen to an excerpt on the digital version of the mag? I already loved the print edition of the magazine, but the digital version is a joy and means that I can dip into it via my iPad or access it on my phone, anytime and anywhere. Many thanks to the team who provide us with so much entertainment and information!

Saga on line

Have missed the paper version dropping thro my letterbox and although not great at using a computer I managed to download a copy and enjoyed reading it. I do hope that the paper version returns in due course, maybe it should be put to the vote.

Wonderful

So easy to read anywhere on the tablet together with the possibility of watching videos and listening to interviews.
Good displays. Always great articles to read.
Wouldn’t be without this great magazine!
Thank you SAGA!
