## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Magazine

*2020-07-03*

Used to be able to read each issue on the app on the iPhone, then only the cover. I tried reloading the app and now not even the cover shows up. Can this be fixed

### 1/5 — Nice concept, doesn’t work.

*2020-07-02*

App does not work with current subscription. Shame as it would be nice to read articles in an app as opposed to a browser.

### 1/5 — Major disconnect

*2020-06-27*

I’m a software developer. I understand how hard it is to make good software. But I’m also a subscriber and my subscription doesn’t work with the app. So don’t expect your subscription to work with the app. Just go to the website. I suspect small boats doesn’t have the money to pay developers to fix the app.

### 1/5 — GARBAGE! Stole my money!!

*2020-06-08*

I subscribed and now nothing is visible and there is no way to contact SBM through the app!!

### 1/5 — App still dysfunctional

*2020-06-06*

I am a Long time WoodenBoat subscriber and a past Small Boats digital subscriber, and recently renewed my SBM subscription. What a disappointment.  The app, which used to work just fine, simply does not work, as in NO CONTENT VIEWABLE.  When I contacted SBM support to ask what the problem was, all I got was a suggestion that I just use the web site, as they were “working on the problem”.  Apparently this “working” has been going on for over a month with no resolution. This is so sad to see from what has previously been an excellent publisher.

### 1/5 — Mistake do not buy

*2020-05-17*

Paid April 9 2020   Can not get full access to all content. I can cancel but no money back. Not happy at all

### 2/5 — Quit working

*2020-05-21*

This app worked for the first months, but quit. I can only get the covers. I think it happened with the last update, but I’m not sure. Please fix. 

Thanks

### 2/5 — Missing Content

*2020-05-13*

I am subscribed and on my iphone App i can only see the monthly covers. No content. There is actually more to see on this page. I hope you can correct this.
