### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-08-27*

I’ve been an iPad subscriber for many years and all of sudden cannot access new issues, just old. Restoring doesn’t work, deleting the app and reinstalling just lost me access to old issues.

### 1/5 — Currently can’t use

*2022-08-19*

Have been subscribed for a few years now but suddenly can’t read issues. Restoring purchases doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Worthless on an iPad Pro

*2022-04-15*

Upgraded to an iPad Pro. Now I can’t restore or sign in using my iTunes account.

### 1/5 — Crash and Burn

*2019-05-06, version 2.3*

Why do I keep trying with this magazine?  The app crashes and closes out. I have to restart it and open from the front page. Completely frustrating.

### 2/5 — Great magazine poor app

*2019-03-23*

Keeps quitting in unpredictable ways. Occasionally some issues don’t load properly. Can’t be shared with family sharing.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy!

*2018-09-04, version 2.3*

Not formatted for an iPad... very poor experience. Cancelled auto renew as soon as I got it, but out 12.71...

### 1/5 — Can not download current issues.

*2018-07-02*

I can download old issues but not current. Very unhappy, customer service says need to try three times a day, I have tried three times a day for a week, still nothing.

### 1/5 — It’s the worst

*2018-03-05, version 2.2*

Issues only viewable upon initial download. Return to an issue and it’s just a white screen. Keep expecting updates to resolve the issue, but no.

### 1/5 — Requires you to buy electronic subscription

*2017-12-31, version 2.0*

I will delete this app because we have to pay for the electronic version in addition to my print version. Yeah, no.

### 1/5 — Have not got a clue!

*2017-12-02*

I pay the subscription, download the app and then silence. After two emails, I am told that my subscription starts in three months time.
What a bunch of pillocks..
