Woefully-coded app. Crashes continuously, and now will not allow me access to the content I’ve paid for. Whoever coded the app needs fired. Go to the publisher & purchase directly. ### 1/5 — What has happened to this app? *2025-10-23, version 23.4* This has never been the easiest app to manage but now, October 2025, it has stopped working altogether! I have paid for a subscription but cannot view the issues I have already paid for. SOS has great content but they really need to get the app sorted, and soon. SOS - are you bothered about taking people's money without caring if your app works or not? ### 1/5 — Terrible App and experience *2024-11-01, version 21.10* The app makes browsing SOS a real pain. As a matter of fact I stopped using it all together. It is meant to allow browsing downloaded content with ease. Instead is a real pain as I cannot get to read an issued magazine without crashing or requiring to download already downloaded content. ### 1/5 — Great content, terrible app. *2023-11-25, version 19.5.1* Why does the app always go to the home page every time you open it, and not remember where you were on last viewing. Even if you switch out and back for a minute it reloads the page, so if you were half way through an article it scrolls back to the top. Also, why does it always take such a long time on opening while “loading content”? What is it loading? The content is world class but the app is one of the most useless examples for reading content. Imagine the kindle app never remembering where you were in a book and having to remember yourself were you were the last time you were using it. Updated app November 2023 even worse. Now every time I reopen it it takes 20 -30 to load and takes me back to the summary of available editions and when I click on a purchased edition it goes to the buy option and I have to restore previous purchases. Unbelievable that we wait 2 years for an update and it is even worse. ### 1/5 — Appalling App *2023-04-20, version 15.1* I have been subscribing to and reading SOS for ever. I am getting to the point now, where I just can’t bear the experience I am having with the app. This is a music technology magazine and as a technology magazine, surely the SOS app should be stellar, like your competitors! ### 3/5 — Not able to continue *2022-07-24, version 15.1* I just downloaded the app today for the first time. I hadn't even realized you could read the magazine in the app instead of the clunky pdfs. It's all good but I noticed that whenever I minimize the SOS app to do something else, when I open it back up it takes me all the way back to the home menu, even though I was in the middle of a text. So now I have to figure out which text I was reading, find it in the list, find the spot in the text where I stopped.... Very inconvenient. I'm not sure if it's the app or my phone but if it's the former, it would be nice to get that fixed. ### 3/5 — Best audio magazine, terrible app. *2022-05-17, version 15.1* The content is the best there is with amazing in depth reviews and tutorials (please write about Bitwig tips) but the app itself is so slow and buggy. Loading takes forever, pages sometimes not loading but have to quit or return home and reload and app looses where it was when iPad goes into sleep. ### 1/5 — Such a shame… *2021-08-07, version 15.1* The early versions of this app were fabulous. Fast downloads, great reading experience - totally like reading the magazine without the wait for it to arrive. The latest app is one of the worst apps I’ve used of any type! Download speeds are glacial, the user interface is dreadful and the advertising pages more easily open up the manufacturers website than flip to the next page. Simple solution: go back to the early version of the app! I persist because the magazine is good but the app is truly, utterly, beyond diabolical. ### 4/5 — Great app but when are we going to get bookmarks again? *2021-03-14, version 15.1* As per the title - really miss this feature, otherwise the app is good. ### 1/5 — new version even worst *2021-01-25* The new version promised to be faster load up time. Nope even with a downloaded issue for offline reading it takes up to minute to be ready to read. Speaking of reading neither the old or new version just wont memories the last page Ive been on. So why all that yadiyada abot a new version when the simple things cant be fixed? ## Frequently asked questions about Sound On Sound UK ### What is Sound On Sound UK?
