Frustration

I am constantly asking them to figure out why I am not getting the updated issues. Every single year I am inquiring. It’s 2025 and I have 5 issues. It’s going to be December so I am missing Aug/Sept/Oct/Nov and soon to be December.

Finally canceled

I have been locked out with no way to access my subscription, said wrong email, which isn’t true. Thankfully the price increased and the app alerted me, I had deleted it a while ago, but it still alerted me. Gave me the option to cancel and I promptly did so. This review is about the app and not necessarily the magazine.

App issues

I purchased the $23:99 per year and I am not able to access the latest issue. This is very frustrating and disappointing

Stopped loading

Why would your magazine stop loading? My other magazine subscriptions don’t have this issue? Frustrating.

Best monthly magazine ever

Subscribing to Southern Living 25 years ago was my best decision ever.
I Trust every recipe printed, get decorating ideas seasonally and best of all have extensively travelled in the South. We’ve been able to find some favorite places that regular tourists just wouldn’t know about. I treasure my time spent every month with my new Southern Living

Where is customer service?!

A couple of years ago I suddenly wasn’t able to access my subscription and reached out to customer service, but never got a resolution. I just canceled my auto renew subscription at that point, and let the subscription expire. There were roughly about five months worth of magazines that I never got to look at because of the problem. I recently got a new iPad and decided to investigate further to regain access my subscription. It tells me that I’m using the incorrect email or password to login. I haven’t changed email addresses so I’m not sure what’s going on. It doesn’t even give me an option to reset my password. In fact, when I’m trying to login, all it asks for is my email address or subscription number… There isn’t even a box to type in the password!! I have a digital subscription so I don’t have a print subscription number. Where would I even found a digital subscription number? I have emailed customer service time and time again and I’m not getting any replies. AWFUL SITUATION and I am losing money because I can’t even get anyone to help me access what I have already paid for!

I no longer exist halfway through my subscription

The title says it all … no new issues are visible and the app doesn’t recognize my profile login. No way that I can find to correct. Ridiculous.

App does not work correctly after iOS updates

System updates - then subscription is not recognized. I end up paying again to get what I already paid for. App needs a fix or correction.

Horrible Experience

I have been able to access issues from Dec 2021 through April 2022 in this app and Better Homes & Garden on any of my Apple devices. I’ve contacted the providers and Apple, followed all the T/S steps and nothing works. I’ve subscribed to both since 2014. Zinio isn’t helpful at all. If they can’t resolve within the next 48 hours I want a 5-month refund on both magazines. Simply ridiculous-no customer support from anyone and two many 3rd parties to work to.
