### 5/5 — Love the new app!

*2024-04-20*

Stylist’s new app is great - I can read all the articles and digital mags in one place. It’s super easy to use and I love being able to save my favourite articles to come back to later.

### 5/5 — Love!

*2024-04-19*

I love Stylist Magazine so I absolutely love being able to have all that amazing content right there on my phone! It’s so handy! Really gorgeous app to use, too. Well done, Stylist!

### 5/5 — Much improved

*2024-04-19*

So pleased Stylist have finally updated their app - about time!  

Reading the magazine in the app is now a pleasure rather than a pain and lovely to have all the website articles to read to.

### 5/5 — Loving the NEW Stylist app!

*2024-04-19*

Such a great design and user experience. Love being able to access all my favourite content in one place. Well done Stylist!

### 2/5 — So glitchy

*2021-06-02, version 19.3.3*

The content is great but this app is such a pain that it’s not worth it. Every time you leave the app you have to download the whole magazine again. It’s also constantly forgetting that you already have a subscription and tries to make you pay again. I want to dip in and out of it each issue while out but that’s impossible with constant redownloading

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-03-04, version 22.1.1*

Have paid for quarterly subscription and the app won’t even work. I want my money back!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-01-24, version 22.1.1*

I have never written a review of anything before but no one has replied to my request for help. This app downloaded one issue in December after I subscribed for three months. No new issues have appeared since then. I’ve tried uninstallling and the lark but no change. Love the magazine but one issue for that price and no assistance is rubbish. Use the free online content instead.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2024-01-19, version 22.1.1*

Every time I try to open it asks me for more money to subscribe when my subscription  ends oct 2024. When I get it the only issue I can read is 6 Dec. Don’t recommend at all

### 1/5 — Awful experience

*2023-04-28*

This App is dreadful. I’m paying for the subscription but the user experience of using is bad
Each time I go to the app I have to restore purchases and then, download them - I would expect to automatically see my library of purchases when I go into the app. Doing this EVERT TIME is stupid.
After several years they have still not fixed this!!!
Now, I can’t even download then once ‘restored’ as I keep getting an error. This is unacceptable

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback. We have now fixed this issue. Please update the app to enjoy the latest version.

### 1/5 — Terrible app with no customer support

*2023-01-28, version 21.1.2*

I bought the three month package in December and have only got access to the December 2022 issue and all previous issues. I’ve reset, re logged in, re-downloaded the app but it’s stuck to thinking present day is December 2022. I’ve not been able to access any more recent issues than this. Waste of money and no way on the app or online to get the issue rectified and refund issued.

### 1/5 — Won’t pay again

*2022-11-29, version 21.1.2*

This is a very frustrating app. First of all it makes you pay for a magazine which is distributed free all over the place. I presumed paying meant ad free, but no, it’s absolutely full of ads. When you open an issue you can’t close it and browse another issue without closing the app down completely and starting again. Should be free until they improve it into something worth paying for.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2021-12-08, version 20.2.6*

Very disappointed with this purchase and app. Pretty much the same problem as others in that I have subscribed but I keep getting asked to purchase each download and the app stops working, freezes and closes while I’m trying to deal with it. Poor customer services.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2021-09-20, version 20.2.6*

This app is so badly made. I subscribed to the digital magazines using my laptop and was so excited to read via my iPad each week. But this App is terrible. Not user friendly. Nowhere to log in. Asking for repeat purchases. No response to app feedback either. Really disappointing.

### 1/5 — Great mag terrible app

*2021-05-31, version 19.3.3*

I love the magazine and it’s content how the app, on both iPad and iPhone is appalling. It doesnt recognise that I have a paid subscription, not likely to renew given the poor performance.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2021-05-22, version 19.3.3*

I bought an issue and then couldn’t access it. UX is terrible.

*2024-07-24*

So easy to find articles to read - love the white text on black background I find it much clearer to read than the usual black on white!

### 5/5 — 5* !

*2024-07-24*

Loving the new app!!! So easy to navigate + I love being able to save all the pieces I don’t have time to read so I can easily access them later

### 5/5 — Love the new app!

I love Stylist’s content and being able to read it on the app makes it even better. Love being able to read the print and digital magazines on here as well.

### 5/5 — Love the new app!

*2024-04-24*

I’m a long time Stylist fan and I’m so happy to discover they have a new and improved app.
