So powerful, so loving, so healing and I’m grateful to be able to do it through an app. However, the print in the magazine is so small there is no possibility to enlarge it. Also April is off by about three days so I have to go by the date and not by the day. And lastly, I would love it if I didn’t have to start all over in the magazine, as if I never opened it, but you could stay on the day that I viewed it previously. All of the scrolling gets tiresome. I would love it if this things could be fixed so that I can enjoy the science of mind magazine enjoy it in its fullness. ### 2/5 — Love the content but navigating app is frustrating *2020-02-15, version 5.0* All the content is inspiring. I read it first thing in the morning. For several years I accessed the magazine by going online to the website. About a year ago the bookmark function disappeared. I miss the bookmark for going right to the Daily Guides. Now I need to scroll to the correct day. A couple of months ago I downloaded the app, hoping to see a bookmark function. Despite using the navigation guide page at the beginning of the issues I don't see a way to bookmark my places. I do not see the thumbnails either in the place marked on navigation guide. When accessing this month’s guide I'm kept from opening it by a page saying I may need to log in to restore functions after using other devices I would love any advice about how to resolve this issue. Gratefully, Jane Lentz ### 2/5 — Content okay, execution abysmal *2019-11-05, version 5.0* One of the clunkiest and least user friendly content apps I have ever encountered. It is sad that those responsible for the legacy of Ernest Holmes have dropped the ball to this extent. It used to be better, now it is worse. The very definition of decadence. ### 3/5 — Not updating latest issue *2016-05-24, version 4* I have the app. The new edition came out four days ago and it's not up. When I asked contacted the magazine they said to check with iTunes. However all the links from the app go to the magazine website. Can someone help? ### 1/5 — Ditto *2014-10-02, version 2.0.01* Can't use it, getting the run around from som! ### 1/5 — Agree With Last Reviewer - This App Is Useless As It Is Now *2014-09-30, version 2.0.01* SOM Magazine is amazing. But this News Stand App version is not working properly. I just purchased my subscription yesterday and it was working finE. Today, I cannot get the September or the October issues to load, and I can't reload them either. SOM Magazine is so wonderful that I would pay $20 every month as long as I could download the issues, but the bugs need to be worked out for this particular version of such a great magazine. ### 1/5 — Science of Mind Magazine *2014-09-22, version 2.0.01* Have always loved this magazine...but online version through Newsstand is vertically useless and really a hassle. I continually have to unload and reload the magazine as if I were purchasing it again. So feeling pretty irritated by the time I'm able to read it. Hey..bottom line..found out I paid double by going thru Apple and it doesn't work..and guess what..no refunds! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2026-07-23, version 7.0.0* SOM Magazine is trying to reduce their carbon footprint and pushing people to the digital version. The fact that this app does not work and there is no PDF version available, is very unfortunate. Spend some money and make the magazine user-friendly. Having to read it on the internet is no better. You have to constantly log in and can’t bookmark anything, This is very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Locked out *2024-12-27* Despite being paid up to date I’m locked out and no replies to repeated messages, very disappointed ### 1/5 — I love it, but the app has problems *2024-07-19, version 7.0.0* I love the science of mind teachings. So powerful, so loving, so healing but I have been unable to accept the app due to an error message! I paid for a year’s subscription but am regretting it! Please fix the problem or refund me. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2021-01-07, version 6.0* Constantly have to reload the magazine. Bookmarks don’t work. Pretty pathetic app considering we’re in 2021. ### 1/5 — Great content with poor delivery *2021-01-07, version 6.0* I love Science of Mind magazine, however this digital version is very inconvenient to use. Despite downloading it the content does not stay on my device and, therefore, is not available if I am not connected to the Internet. Secondly, even when I am connected, the magazine does not remember my place and I have to download and navigate to the daily guide each morning. This is a waste of time and a source of stress especially when I am trying to incorporate the readings into my practice before rushing off to work. Again, I love the magazine and the movement but wish the iOS version was more user-friendly. ### 1/5 — Ripped off *2020-09-11, version 6.0* I subscribed for the digital version for one year and paid via Apple $19. Opened the app to find I need to pay another $3.90 to view this month’s issue! How do I resolve this problem? ### 1/5 — crap *2015-01-02, version 3* I been a reader for close to 20 years. I understand that apps have bugs, but this crap app does not work even at the basic level. I subscribed online but I want to read offline. There is no way to log on. The app subscription button does not work. It is only possible to buy one issue at a time. How about a little R and D before pissing off long time customers? ### 1/5 — Worst app *2014-10-29, version 2.0.01* This app is the worst for customer satisfaction. It doesn't deserve the one star that must be selected to rate it. ### 1/5 — SOM magazine problems *2014-10-19, version 2.0.01* I have had the same problems as the other reviews. I miss my som on PDF. I agree we should get a credit until this can be corrected. ### 1/5 — Agree with other reviews...totally useless! *2014-10-13, version 2.0.01* Love to read this magazine especially daily guides but this having to delete and reload app is for the birds...SOM changed previous format to some online magazine format and got rid of PDFs so can't download that either which totally blows...online magazine format cuts off the top so you can't see title etc and the bottom...and yes getting the runaround from SOM. Was told that the following: "The new Science of Mind magazine application is now available through Apple Newsstand. Since this version is an Apple product, our subscription service cannot assist with technical issues. We are aware of these technical difficulties and are working diligently with Apple to resolve any bugs reported with the next release." ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Powerful, simple, great resource *2022-03-07, version 7.0.0* An affordable informative and a remarkable tool to feed your spiritual self and mind. I love the simplicity of the app. Maybe a few upgrades allowing for a bit more fluidity among articles and pages. I love the update to the daily guides. Click the day and there you are. This type of simplicity for articles. I have been crazy happy for years with this tool. ### 5/5 — SOM Magazine *2020-01-01, version 5.0* Great inspirational tool. Uplifting and insightful articles filled with hope and spiritual awareness. The Daily guide tops if off with affirmations filled with the truth of “who we are”. ### 5/5 — New version of science of mind app is terrible *2019-10-11, version 5.0* It does not bookmark anymore and I have lost all of the previous editions I paid for. Each time I start the app, I have to reload the entire mag. ### 5/5 — Too much scrolling *2019-09-27, version 5.0* With the September 2019 magazine, everyday I had to scroll to the daily guides section. In previous editions faI could leave the fa page up and return to it each day. ### 5/5 — Inspiring reading for living a successful life. *2016-05-23, version 4* This mag is full of positive stories and articles on how to live a happier positive more abundant life. Affirmations meditation prayer and more. ### 5/5 — Bad News! *2014-10-12, version 2.0.01* Trying to remain positive, but this is getting very difficult. This app does not work, and I need to get a refund. I paid my subscription, and all it does is ask me to subscribe again. Stay away from this app until they update it. ### 5/5 — Won't download *2014-09-23, version 2.0.01* I've subscribed to the paper version for many yrs, and have a current subscription.. pd the 19.99 for the online version, and get the same message over and over..restart the app and download again.. Yet, no magazine!! Does the subscription start in Oct? What am I doing wrong? I want this to work!!! ### 4/5 — December 2021 *2021-12-02, version 7.0.0* Daily Guides are dated 2020 instead of 2021🤷‍♀️ ### 4/5 — A wonderful magazine for daily daily spiritual guideance! *2021-09-16, version 6.0* I love this magazine and have been reading it for years. It is such a part of my spiritual practice, reminding me of my Truth and assisting with my growth and expansion as a Spirit having a human experience. The reason for only 4 stars is the electronic version is somewhat cumbersome. I wish I could bookmark my place each day so I didn’t have to scroll through the daily guides every time l open it. I am used to reading the paper version where I can mark my place as I read it cover to cover each month. Thank you for this publication! ### 4/5 — It works! *2014-12-16, version 3* After waiting patiently for a month to elapse, I ca now access my subscription. I pray the app behaves as well for the future supbcribers. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
