I bought a subscription for a year in December along with the extra older issues. I have had nothing but trouble downloading the magazines. Not receiving updates when new magazine is available. Very frustrating. I have reached out several times but no one has contacted me or corrected the problem. ### 3/5 — Don’t get my subscription to open. *2021-07-11* Have been buying for years and would have problem opening up the subscription I bought. Have had to reach out for them to fix but am tired of doing so cancelled my subscription. ### 2/5 — Wish It Worked *2020-10-11* I just paid for a quarterly subscription and then I tried to get an issue for October 2020. The best I could get was to view. But I didn’t get the full issue. What gives? For past issues...I need to pay $4.99?! Yikes! ### 1/5 — Cannot open app *2019-07-05, version 8.16.7* Cannot open app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Open *2019-04-28* I have an ongoing subscription but can’t get past the “Free Trial” page! ‘Really enjoy this magazine but if I can’t access my subscription, then you’ll need to refund me for the prepaid yearly subscription. Please advise when you’ve either fixed the app or when you plan to refund my subscription. ### 1/5 — Lousy *2019-03-28, version 8.16.5* Doesn't open on iPad and when I talk technical support they said that the way it is(?) ### 4/5 — Still cannot open any of the issues that I purchased *2018-11-22* I read your first page. It says to download and I do it but I cannot figure out how to view the issues I purchased ### 1/5 — Doesn’t open *2018-09-19* I was able to open up just enough to purchase in bulk 24 issues but that is all - it keeps introducing me to the upsales and when I press to repurchase just to see if it will open it says I have already purchased them but I cannot open anything on this app. On the day I did purchase the issues I was only able to open to the 1st story in 1 of the issues but never able to open any other story or any other issue. Money back now please!!! **Developer response:** Open the special 24 issue magazine. Download your magazines you purchased from each page in the magazine. All 24 are there with instructions. ### 5/5 — I’m obsessed! *2018-03-22* What can I say, but I’m obsessed with Tiny Houses. I’ve read this magazine since it’s inception and it’s absolutely fabulous. A great balance of the practical, the inspiring, and wonderful pictures. Keep it coming!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hard to use *2026-01-17, version 16.15.20240118* Not user friendly. ### 1/5 — Tiny house magazine *2024-02-21, version 16.15.20240118* Very disappointing.

Wants me to purchase individual magazine! Been paying yearly! ### 1/5 — Can’t read *2022-01-19, version 15.4.20220117* Can’t turn pages, can’t read print, please cancel 3month subscription! ### 1/5 — Revised update. *2021-12-12* It makes perfect sense to put this magazine on this device! Perfect marriage. UPDATE: I truly loved this magazine and reading it on my iPad. But now it just crashes and won’t even open and I have to figure out how to cancel my subscription now. Update. Tried coming back. Still too many technical problems even on my new iPad. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2020-12-06, version 8.16.8* It is very disappointing when you pay for a subscription but the app will not open! ### 1/5 — Tiny houses *2020-06-14, version 8.16.8* Difficult to navigate Loads slow Difficult to figure which subscriptions are paid ### 1/5 — Can’t open magazines in app *2019-08-10, version 8.16.7* For some reason the magazine will not open in the app. My past magazine will not show up either. Please fix. ### 1/5 — App no longer loads *2019-08-06* I’ve subscribed for years, but last week, will not load. I tried again and waited a long time, until a message popped up indicating “no internet connection”... huh? The iPad has both cellular and WiFi access- all other apps work fine. Well, can’t use if it doesn’t load. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Josiah’s tiny house new *2023-06-14* Tiny house new ### 5/5 — Tiny Homes Manager *2023-04-02* Really Great ideas and loads of information! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-05-13* This is THE best online magazine I have EVER seen! I’m a pet groomer by trade & have had several subscriptions to pet & grooming mags & always deleted them before I got through the first issue! THM has amazing pics & incredible stories. I love that every story has links in them to take you to websites & other articles so it’s like a Russian stacking doll that just keeps unfolding with jam packed information & inspiration! ### 5/5 — Awesome.

Monthly ideas for the small house lover in all of us ### 5/5 — Tinyhouse magazine rocks! *2020-02-16* So grateful that Kent and his crew are putting out awesome stories and build of real people living minimal and in tiny homes! This magazine really is where it’s at to feel the pulse of the movement. ### 5/5 — Great magazine / app! *2019-10-04* informative, interesting, helpful, well produced. ### 5/5 — Impressive! *2019-04-19* Gathering this much info month after month is not easy. Bravo! ### 5/5 — Love It! *2019-02-05* Great source of ideas and information about tiny homes and tiny living. ### 5/5 — Tiny house *2018-07-03* I’m really considering a tiny house for my next home ! They are cute / practical / and teach you to live more and stop with the material things in your life keeping no you from enjoying life and life be simple ! ### 5/5 — Great inspiring magazine *2018-04-16* I moved into my small (28 m2) house more than three years ago and yet I still take great joy in reading about, seeing, and watching other people's projects and ideas related to small and unconventional housing. I love this magazine. It's focus tends to be more for new folk but also many stories about people/couples/families established in small living, as well as occasionally those moving out of small into larger. For me, more ideas about how to store what stuff I did choose to keep more effectively, would be a wonderful bonus: there isn't much on this, and I still don't have that aspect sorted. In summary: a heartwarming read every month, for wherever you are in the journey, and to know you aren't alone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
