### 5/5 — Just like a paper magazine

*2017-11-11*

Just downloaded mine and all is working fine. It reads just like a paper magazine so unfortunately you’ll get all the ads too!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2012-12-08*

This is one of several magazine apps that appear to have gone to hell in a hand basket since the new IOS update. If you are going to charge people to read at least have the decency to test your app and make sure its working!!

### 1/5 — Don't bother

*2012-12-07*

Absolute garbage. The magazine won't load, but it didn't stop them taking my money. Do I want push notifications about other magazines? No thanks. I'll have a refund though.

### 1/5 — Not much Christmas spirit here!

*2012-12-06*

Forget this the magazine doesn't download and the programme keeps crashing. Must be the Grinch version!
Dear Santa, please ask PocketMags to sort themselves out.

### 1/5 — Josephine

*2012-11-26*

This is rubbish I have been charged twice for the same thing and can't even download the magazine

### 1/5 — Can't down load

*2012-10-05*

Hello, I'm having trouble downloading the app, it says price but doesn't have an amount, when you press price it hangs a long time the comes up with error, payment not taken

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2011-11-16, version 4.1*

First of all it's aimed at the uk so for ppl in the u.s. it's a little difficult to find certain products and ideas you see in the magazine. Plus it didn't really have that many different ideas. Just one idea in a bunch of different colors.....
