### 5/5 — Missing issues

*2023-10-01, version 7.2.1*

e magazines and Hoffman did not honor my customer loyalty and will not allow access to digital content that l purchased throughout my digital subscription and gave me every excuse on why l couldn't have access. Don't purchase digital products through either companies

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2019-08-01, version 18.0.0*

This is not easy to navigate. I cannot tell if I have a subscription or not.   When I click on a new magazine it wants me to buy it. Also new special issues do not show up. Or.....they are behind in posting them. I am ready to cancel the whole thing except I love their magazines. I got an email today saying they have a new special issue and it is not there. Bring back the old app. It was easy to use. Enough complaining.

### 1/5 — I Don’t Get New Issues

*2019-03-25, version 17.5*

It doesn’t seem to update. I bought a $20 yearly subscription, but I can’t access new issues whenever they come out. It doesn’t even show them as an option on the app.

### 2/5 — App crashes ALOT!

*2019-03-23, version 17.5*

Recipes are excellent though.   But it still crashes.

### 5/5 — The Missin Magazines

*2019-03-04, version 17.5*

This app is no user friendly app. I had to delete this app and when I downloaded the app back to my phone I couldn’t get the magazines I had purchased .  This also happened to me once before with the same app a few years ago

### 1/5 — Cannot open new issues

*2018-11-30, version 17.5*

I purchased a year subscription and cannot open new issues without it wanting me to purchase it first. Horrible app!  Going to ask for refund.

### 3/5 — Not sure how to rate

*2018-11-19, version 17.5*

This app is not very user friendly I have found. Every time I open it it asks me if I want to restore my issues and that it may take a lot of bandwidth.  I thought when I downloaded an issue it was installed locally on my iPad.  It's very confusing.  
Also not sure what you are supposed to do when finished with the magazine and are at the end. Can't seem to find out how to go back to the beginning. 
But I love the recipes and photos in this magazine.

### 1/5 — Subscriptions

*2018-10-09, version 17.5*

A year or so ago I subscribed to a 6 mo. Subscription for $10.99. It keeps renewing but won’t let me download the magazines. It offers a single issue price for $4.99 not $1.99 as this app states. My favorite magazine and I can’t even access it even though I have already paid for it.
Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2018-06-03, version 17.3*

I subscribed through the App Store...what a joke! I have not been able to download anything! I would like my money back!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2017-07-22, version 17*

If I could I would rate zero stars! This update corrected nothing! I purchased the subscription one week ago, emailed and messaged you, but still am unable to access even one issue to read. I am only given options to purchase( which I've already done ) or preview. I am extremely frustrated. I have purchased several printed issues and enjoyed them, which is why I wanted a subscription. Digital is my preference. You offer this option but have not delivered the product. Please refund my money as you have failed to provide adequate services to your customers. All reviews have said the same exact thing.
