## Most critical reviews (7 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Great magazine, horrible electronic access

*2025-01-28*

Great magazine, nil response to enquiry about electronic access. Difficult system, muddled by Pocketmags! Why would anyone want to use the online version?

### 1/5 — Good magazine poor app

*2024-03-13*

I’ve recently subscribed to this magazine. It has a good mix of articles, which I enjoy. However, I’m finding the app a nightmare to use on my iPad, it seems to have a mind of its own. When scrolling it jumps pages, cuts the bottom off pages and jumps between pages when I try to zoom in. 
A simple pdf would be so much easier.
I won’t be renewing my subscription if it’s this irritating to use the app, it’s spoiling my reading.

### 1/5 — Rejects my digital subscription

*2024-03-01*

I have a digital subscription to The Critic. This app supposedly has an option for digital subscribers to log in, but insists on a Pocketmags account when you try to use it.

### 1/5 — You pay and you can’t access

*2022-12-14*

Awful, 20th C interface. And when you pay for it you then have to go through rubbish to access it. What a shame

### 1/5 — Great journal - problems with app & website

*2020-08-26*

I bought a 6 month subscription on the back of a few excellent articles, and was delighted to see an app.

They took my money without problem, and promised me print editions and “instant” web access.

To log into the app I need an “account number.” They haven’t given me one.

I tried to log in to the website using the email & password provided, and all it does is get stuck in a refresh loop.

Not a good start.

### 2/5 — Very hard to read on a phone

*2025-02-25*

Great content but next to impossible to read even on a large phone.

### 5/5 — Something to make me cross in every issue..

*2021-06-15*

...just as promised. I don’t agree with every writer, but I defend to the last their right to say it.
