Fantastic magazine, awful app

I’m a big fan of SFX the magazine but this app is terrible. Restoring purchases takes ages, crashing 9 times out of 10. I’ve subscribed digitally but the current magazine doesn’t have the ability to Download. It takes several attempts at reinstalling the app to restore and claim the current issue, if it works at all. I’ll be continuing to buy the print magazine in support of this great mag.

Previously bought special editions not supported

With the special editions app no longer supported, I was very disappointed that all the magazines I bought through it were not ported over to this app. Not going to buy them again. Contacted the support email address and never heard back.

Excellent app and magazine but…

Love SFX and highly recommend it.
Always strong content and beautifully put together.

App is okay but has three major issues:
1) restoring previous purchases after a device change is hugely frustrating
2) does not support the full real estate of the iPhone Xs Max
3) Does not include the free gifts given with the print edition

Efficient and effective for an app.

A must have app for the magazines in the library.

My favorite mag in my favorite format

Snappy interface , great content, love it

Crashing

Crashing on startup on iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1.1

Great!

This magazine does exactly what it promises. It gives you great information on everything you could want in the field of entertainment. It isn't a "Star" or "Entertainment Weekly", but it is a very good source of information on what was/is/will be on all of the important and entertaining news that you could want. If that's what you are looking for, then this is the magazine for you.

Be warned

Paid £2.99 for a magazine and got nothing. Seriously , stay away. A shame as the magazine is good.

Good app but not perfect

Works well most of the time - more stable now than previous versions but does not always remember the last page read which is a pain

To much Who

I've been a reader of SFX for roughly 20 odd years now and a subscriber to the digital version for the last 18 months. I can't fault the digital version at all it works to perfection and I prefer it to the print version where dare I say the pages are of a low quality. The only gripe I have is Doctor Who always gets maximum points even though it's junk sci fi 😉

Useless

Crashes every time I try to read the magazine. Cancelled subscription.

Crashes

App now crashes immediately when you try to read a magazine. You can buy and download magazine issues, you just can't read them.

Library disappeared!

My Prog, Total Film and SFX subscriptions have disappeared since the last iOS update.

This app is awsome

Please dowload it and they give you a free issue

Doesn't work and no support

Cant get this to work with IOS8 at all. It happily takes money from you but the magazine wont open. When you try and go to the support page, you'll just find page not found, it doesnt exist. I feel totally ripped off.

Crashes

I'm unable to evaluate this app, since it immediately crashes each time I attempt to read the one issue I have downloaded in my library. Extremely frustrating.

Issues with latest update

Mag is excellent, however the iPad app no longer saves the last read location. The magazine starts at the front cover on each launch. Very annoying.
