### 1/5 — Feb '17, broken. Cannot access subscription

*2017-02-05, version 4.1.0*

I pay quarterly for access, cannot access anything since December 2016. Give my money back or fix NOW!

### 1/5 — Too slow

*2016-12-12, version 4.1.0*

This app looks very useful with some great content, but users cannot read the content as it's too slow to load the pages.    I've deleted it now.

### 1/5 — Good content, possibly the worst app ever

*2016-10-01, version 4.1.0*

Impossible to log on to access what you've paid for. Sort of a basic requirement, don't you think?

### 1/5 — Not recognizing subscription through iTunes

*2016-07-09, version 4.1.0*

Fix this app!! I have paid but cannot use.

### 1/5 — No longer recognizes subscription through App Store

*2016-03-11, version 4.1.0*

No longer recognizes subscription through App Store

### 1/5 — Good content- no app expertise

*2014-08-15, version 4.1.0*

I have a subscription through 2015 for digital.  I have had 11 emails and finally got the password I am supposed to use.  I get the new addition and try to log on and of course it will not let me on.  I even cut and paste directly from there email after typing in 6 times.  It is obvious they outsourced this.  How hard is it to log in - I have never had this problem in years of working with the iPad.

### 1/5 — Can't Access Content

*2014-03-04, version 3.5.2*

Per the other reviewers, I cannot access the most recent edition of this publication.  This is unfortunate, as I have been a subscriber to S & B since the 1990's, and have found it to be one of the top drawer business publications.  Please fix the app!

### 1/5 — Cannot review

*2014-02-07, version 3.5.2*

Cannot see anything as stated by others. The content is still locked after subscribing and login does now work after numerous tries. 

Can someone help?

### 1/5 — Fail

*2014-01-20, version 3.5.2*

Can't access purchased issues. This is frustrating

### 1/5 — Can't access purchased content

*2014-01-02, version 3.5.2*

I can't access the issues I bought in the past, nor ones I should have access to currently. This happened after purchasing a new ipad and Strategy + Business is the only mag to suffer from this deficiency all other magazines picked up my Apple ID and granted me access to content. ITunes support was not helpful either and just cancelled my subscription instead of resolving the problem. I am very disappointed.

### 1/5 — ????

*2013-12-10, version 3.5.2*

Subscribed but can't download the issue! ???

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2013-12-09, version 3.5.2*

Beware.  Thus app will not authorise my account, I took out a subscription opinion the iTunes stores as directed by the app, but authorising continually fails.

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2013-09-22, version 3.1.0*

App doesn't appear to download and keeps asking me to pay.

### 1/5 — Can't seem to download anything beyond first couple of articles

*2013-02-20, version 3.1.0*

No doubt content as always is insightful & thought provoking but the app doesn't work; seems like a total waste of money for me.

### 1/5 — What have you done???

*2022-12-09*

I loved this app and the content.  But the latest update makes for a terrible reading experience.  Bring back the old please.

### 1/5 — Poor experience

*2019-12-24, version 6.6.3*

Terrific content but way to hard to access it and lack of support with resolving accessibility issues.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2019-11-01, version 6.6.3*

Looks like there is great content, but after subscribing, you are not able to log into any of the platforms (web/mobile).

### 1/5 — Subscriptions don’t work.

*2019-10-06, version 6.6.3*

Downloaded the app, paid for a subscription, but still can’t access any of the content. What a waste of time....

### 1/5 — Can’t access suscription

*2019-08-15, version 6.6.3*

I can’t access!!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t access content

*2019-06-19, version 6.6.3*

Highly frustrating..have subscribed for years for the excellent content. Today I’m canceling my subscription as I can’t access the many issues I subscribed to. Absolutely no response from the developer. Even the magazine’s own subscription webpage is “down for maintenance.” Accessing my issues shouldn’t require some mystery logon- User/Password.

### 1/5 — App doesn’t recognize my subscription

*2019-03-09, version 6.6.3*

Can’t restore purchase.  App freezes all the time and can’t even recognize subscription.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2019-03-06, version 6.6.3*

App doesn’t work, content cannot be accessed if subscription purchased through Apple.   If you purchase through PWC directly, it may authenticate your login.  I contacted PWC and they weren’t any help.  The solution - we’ll send an email to the web people.  Absolutely a waste of time and energy.

### 1/5 — Can’t access your subscription

*2018-05-18, version 6.0*

Still can’t access the subscription i am being charged for through the Apple store. No way to ask for the log-in information. Horrible.

### 1/5 — Worse magazine app ever

*2017-09-24, version 4.1.0*

I constantly struggle with this app since acquired by pwc. My updated ipad no longer allows the app to work even though I have a subscription.

### 5/5 — Great inspiration

*2014-08-18, version 4.1.0*

Just read it

### 5/5 — Mr

*2013-03-16, version 3.1.0*

Excellent content

### 5/5 — Outstanding content

*2012-09-06, version 2.3.6*

One of the better sources for solid strategic option on sectors and markets. A worthwhile investment of time and energy

### 5/5 — One of the best strat magz

*2012-07-30, version 2.3.6*

Probably the only management read you need, great topics. The app had some hic ups initially though

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-04-11, version 2.3.6*

Very good content.

### 4/5 — S & B magazine

*2013-02-19, version 3.1.0*

Relevant content for all business, consistent in research and holds lively thought provoking points of view. Love the creative inspiration.

### 4/5 — Great Content, but App Crashes

*2012-12-25, version 3.1.0*

Every article is a great read, but clicking links often makes the app crash. Readability can be improved, too.

### 4/5 — VP

*2012-04-16, version 2.3.6*

App works well, links to data and references are handy.  Would like to see embedded links to archives and book reviews.

### 3/5 — come on, man!

*2013-09-14, version 3.1.0*

please get the ipad version to actually allow me to download issues. you have set up a painful infinite loop that does not allow me to access the Fall 2013 issue or older issues i already paid for them...

### 3/5 — Great content , but app needs improving

*2012-11-29, version 3.1.0*

As a business student, this app is indispensable. I use it, together with the HBR to complement my studies with cutting edge research. The only downside is, the app keeps crashing, the content takes ages to load, and sometimes you are confronted with a blank screen when you try to log on. This is sometimes very frustrating for me, and if these bugbears are sorted, it really would be fantastic .
