### 3/5 — Poor app, poor customer support and service.   Great mag!

*2019-07-28, version 6.0.2*

Cannot log in and after 3 support emails of “help”, still cannot access mag subscription.   Next step canceling visa charge

### 1/5 — Great magazine but terrible app

*2019-07-27, version 6.0.2*

App randomly deleted my entire library with no ability to get my past issues back. I was saving 3 new issues for a trip but now they are gone unless I want to buy them individually again.

### 1/5 — Subscription Troubles

*2019-07-26, version 6.0.2*

You really need to get your subscription act together! I love this magazine! I am a long term subscriber! I have a subscription! I want to read the latest magazine and be able to access the library which I have paid for.

### 1/5 — Soundings App

*2018-10-06, version 6.0*

App does not work.  Constantly will not download the magazine even though it has auto-renewed.  I now have paid for something that I can not get.

### 1/5 — What is wrong with you guys?

*2017-11-09, version 3.5.3*

How can you even stay in business when you bill my credit card for subscription and then deliver a product that will not even open the app on latest iOS on my iPad.  
Pls fix it !

### 1/5 — Constant Issues With App

*2017-11-07, version 3.5.3*

I enjoy reading this when I can get it to open. I subscribe to 7 magazines monthly and this is the only one that I constantly have issues with. Most of the time I cannot even get the app to open further than the home scene. After multiple calls to Soundings digital support and multiple calls to iTunes I have the same issues. I would only recommend this in the print version.

### 1/5 — Wont work with ios 11!

*2017-09-25, version 3.5.3*

It doesnt work with ios 11, cant read my subscription

### 1/5 — Bad app, aggravating!

*2017-04-01, version 3.5.3*

App not working since auto renew. Until they get the bugs out of this, don't waste your money.

### 1/5 — Love the mag, hate the app

*2016-09-15, version 3.5.3*

I have loved Soundings for years but this might be the worst app I have ever used. It crawls on my iPad, and crashes constantly (iPad 2 3rd gen). It's really a shame.

### 1/5 — AVOID DO NOT USE!

*2016-01-01, version 3.5.3*

Doesn't work. Now locked into an auto renew I can't cancel and I can't even download the content. Worst app I've purchased on iTunes!!
