I just hope SW sort this out soon. Love having the magazines on my phone but am no longer able to access them hence the 3 stars ### 2/5 — Healthy articles *2021-05-11, version 5.9* Would like to see more ‘health’ related articles... ### 4/5 — Interesting *2021-02-24, version 5.9* Lots of interesting recipes and Articles that promote healthy eating and activity- focus on Key Workers this month was topical and makes you realise what the people around us are up against- inspirational! ### 4/5 — App is fine, as the content is just the magazine. Few annoyances though *2021-02-18* My wife browses this in my iPad, I an out shopping with my phone. I would like the app to sync the scrapbook between my devices so that I can see what she’s thinking she would like me to make for her meals without having to remember to look at the iPad before I leave! :) please implement this feature. Also such a shame I can’t add my old titles that I own the physical copy of so that I can scrapbook all the recipes we use from those still... I’m still having to look in multiple places :( ### 4/5 — Charged for FREE magazine! *2021-02-11, version 5.9* As a member, I downloaded the free gift for March’s magazine, but looks like I’ve paid for it! 🤨 despite using the code 157GIFT26632. How do I get a refund? ### 5/5 — Online magazine *2021-02-08, version 5.9* Easy to use app easy instructions given ### 5/5 — Love this mag *2020-11-12, version 5.9* I really love my Slimming World magazine.

Had to keep going back to consultant for help - surely there could be an easier option ?? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Probably wouldn’t resubscribe. *2025-01-28* Being an Online Member, another member on the community highilighted how you are able to view the back catalogue of magazines since they became digital. For me this felt perfect, having the ability to be inspired through older editions and stories I made a subscription purchase. However, I shortly discovered that you are unable to view older magazines like the screenshots for the app show so it’s a little disappointing and misleading. I’m very unhappy and don’t think I’ll be making the same mistake again. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2024-06-30* I loved the idea of having the scrapbook and magazines without having to find somewhere to store them. Unfortunately after paying for a year subscription, the app only let me download two magazines. Every time I try and access the rest, it wants me to either buy individually or put another subscription through. This has turned out to be very expensive access to two magazines and I’ve now cancelled my subscription going forward. ### 1/5 — Scrapbook *2023-11-14, version 6.2* I do not like the new layout, I have lost all my favourites, so I have cancelled my subscription ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!!!!!! *2023-09-27, version 5.9* Purchased this app to help me with my weight loss, looked at one magazine, and since then, the app just simply wont open, and its taken a years subscription before it failed to work !!!!! ### 1/5 — 12/08/2023 Crashes less than a minute afteer opening the magazine *2023-08-12, version 5.9* Unusable on latest iMac 24" desktop. Going to ask for a refund as had to suscribe to magazine before being able to try it out! ### 1/5 — Crashes every time it's opened, unusable on macbook air *2023-03-17, version 5.9* Crashes every time its' opened, unusable on macbook air ### 1/5 — Horrendously Designed App *2022-05-23, version 5.9* The app is supposed to provide a digital copy of the Slimming World Magazine; however you’re not given that. You’re given some sort of mixture between articles, adverts and the unknown where the magazine is not a page turner but ridiculously complicated to navigate. My not use the technology you have and make it a digital magazine. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2021-05-18, version 5.9* Cheaper to buy the magazine in group and you get new editions quicker too, it’s a shame that option isn’t a better deal ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2020-11-02, version 5.9* For three days now my magazine will not download... ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2020-09-05, version 5.9* Why does it have to scroll down for each article, can we not just page turn like all my magazines on the Readly app, it’s a magazine not a website ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helpful *2023-11-13, version 6.2* Just knowing others can do this it really helps me ### 5/5 — Great download *2023-04-10* Easy to use instantly ready to read -purchased a subscription which is cheaper than the actual shop brought magazine ### 5/5 — Sad from Canada *2023-01-15* The reason why I am sad is we don’t have slimming world here. My good friend in Scotland sent me the magazine and then I found the app. I’d still love to attend a group in Canada .....any chance you will come soon. I also follow Clare and Anna’s podcast and I think the program is terrific Alison , Toronto Canada ### 5/5 — Slimming world *2022-07-17, version 5.9* Really enjoy getting my magazine. Keeps me inspired with new ideas. Like the scrapbook idea to. ### 5/5 — Love this magazine *2021-10-05* Love reading this magazine ### 5/5 — Fabulous read *2021-09-08, version 5.9* I look forward to receiving my magazine in the post. So many brilliant recipes, photos, tips and inspiration. ### 5/5 — Magazine for everyone *2021-04-20* Love the inspiration they give me, love having them on my phone, I can check anything at anytime anywhere ### 5/5 — 7 months later & I’ve lost almost 3 stone *2021-03-28* I had never been to or believed in Slimming clubs. To pay someone to weigh you seemed ridiculous when I could do it myself ! But I couldn’t. After several years of trying my weight had crept up & was now heading towards 13 stone which for my height was very unhealthy. 7 months later & I’ve lost almost 3 stone - couldn’t be more chuffed 😊 ### 5/5 — Online magazine *2021-03-26, version 5.9* Brilliant idea I always look forward to reading it. X ### 5/5 — Inspirational *2021-02-13, version 5.9* I love hearing how other people have achieved their dreams --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
