### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2019-05-23, version 3.2*

I’m canceling my subscription. It wont work on I phone X very well. And as soon as I pull up an article it crashes the app.

### 2/5 — It’s Almost 2019

*2018-12-22, version 3.2*

No iPhone X support? Very disappointing and hard to read your digital copies.

### 3/5 — Subscriptions

*2018-11-03, version 3.2*

The only thing worth stating is that you will have such a great time getting someone to answer your questions or solving an issue. 
I promised that I would have patience. NOT!

### 1/5 — Every move seems to have a price.

*2017-07-25, version 3.1*

There is nothing easy about this site.

### 3/5 — Crashing App

*2017-01-24, version 3.0*

I dearly love the magazine and this is my first experience of downloading and reading issues on my phone. However I've had to reinstall it several times to be able to access the pages, but eventually they are never visible and the app crashes after I have reopened the app a second time after reinstalling.

### 4/5 — Advocate Magazine is Awesome!!

*2016-09-10, version 3.0*

It's the Best!

### 3/5 — In its digital format, disappointing

*2015-07-12, version 2.1*

All the stars are for content. The app itself is, as one reviewer noted, no more than PDFs of the magazine's pages with some ability to jump to specific pages. This is nothing better than what you would get with Zinio.

### 3/5 — Lackluster app for important content

*2014-11-25, version 2.0*

Don't get me wrong, The Advocate has great content however the app doesn't take full advantage of what a digital version can do. A scanned PDF of the magazine would provide the same experience and cost less to produce. 
For an example of a richer digital experience, check out HRC Equality magazine. Oh, and that one is free!

### 3/5 — Partially Inaccessible with voiceover

*2014-11-20, version 2.0*

When I saw that The Advocate was available in News ;stand, I was very excited. Udfortunately, the controls are only marginally accessible with Voiceover, Apple's screenreading solution for the blind and visually impaired. It took quite a bit of guesswork, and experimentation to get an article to come up in text format. It doesn't take a lot of time or money to make controls in Ios accessible. Please do this so that blind LGBT folks and our allies can read all of The Advocate's great content.

### 5/5 — Looks great, reads well

*2014-09-30, version 1.1*

Very well put together. I enjoy the website daily, but really like taking the more in depth coverage in the magazine with me on trips.  Great iPad app.
