Have contacted Scots Magazine but have had no fix yet. Disappointing because I lobe this magazine and have been reading for many years both paper version and through App. ### 1/5 — Absolutely the worst *2022-01-12* Great magazine but useless app. None of the links work. They should have just used zinio.🤦‍♀️ ### 1/5 — Cannot load. Support is unhelpful *2019-12-10* Purchase a 3-month subscription last week using this App. Tried to access the subscription but keep on getting an error message. The support Pagesuite was unable to solve my problem. I asked for refund and they directed me to another email address and I have not heard from them. I guess my $11.99 is wasted! A shame! ### 1/5 — App is not worked my properly. *2017-07-27* I love the magazine but hate the app. Links to "forgot password" and "for more information" do not appear to work. Yikes what a drag. ### 2/5 — Confused *2017-06-12* How do i turn off automatic renew subscriptions?!? ### 1/5 — Unpredictable App *2017-01-04* This App regularly lets me down. I have had to delete it and re-install it too often. Compared with other magazine Apps it is very poor. Currently I cannot even get to read a magazine as it freezes on the first page. Time to cancel my subscription to this magazine. ### 1/5 — 8.0 is broken - do not update! *2014-04-21* A waste of an update. Crashes when the subscriptions are accessed and may require a complete re-download of existing editions. The product of too little testing before release. Unfortunately detracts from one of the world's greatest magazines. Missing the read already as this release is 100% dysfunctional. ### 1/5 — App doesn't open *2013-12-29* I'd love to try this but the app doesn't open and app support takes you to a blank page ## Frequently asked questions about The Scots Magazine ### What is The Scots Magazine?
