### 1/5 — Can we fix this?

*2016-09-26*

Upgraded, only to find a less than useful version.  No pinch and zoom, inactive navigation aids, stuck pages, missing images, and on and on. Two editions with this 'new' version and will be cancelling unless, this is fixed.

### 1/5 — Cannot open app, useless

*2016-09-24*

App on iPad could not be opened. Useless

### 1/5 — Toronto life appeared failure

*2016-08-24*

Don't update. You will lose access to all your previously purchased issues.

### 1/5 — App won't complete the registration process....!!!?

*2016-07-28*

This is frustrating. After entering my subscription information to register and validate for the app, it takes me to a blank screen that despite refresh and restarting the app- doesn't allow the process to complete. Looks like I'm not the only customer having this issue- fix this app Toronto life!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2016-06-21*

Won't validate my print subscription when I use my app.  When I hit 'submit' to validate my information the app just hangs at a blank page.  There is no avenue by which to receive any support, not even an e-mail address for app support.

### 1/5 — Cannot restore old purchase or download new ones

*2015-12-11, version 1.5*

I have a one year subscription that I am three months in. I cannot download the current issue. It's telling me to buy or re-subscribe. When I try to sign in there's an error. When I deleted and re-downloaded the app it wouldn't let me restore my previous purchases. Fix it. Your app has issues.

### 1/5 — App doesn't work!

*2014-06-21, version 1.2*

I'm a print subscriber, trying to log in on Ipad app. No luck!

### 1/5 — Incompetent

*2014-06-12*

Readers with current subscriptions are not recognised in this new app. There are now two Toronto Life apps in my Newstand. There is no explanation as to what the relationship is between the two.

Both developers, and Apple, pass the buck to each other, thus providing no meaningful support.

### 1/5 — Login Problems

*2014-03-28, version 1.2*

For some reason I'm not able to log in despite entering all the correct information. I've double checked all my info. I've entered it several times but with no luck.

### 1/5 — Subscription issues

*2014-02-19, version 1.0*

I downloaded the new version of the magazine and it's not allowing me to restore my previous purchases.  I'm upset as I had issues that I haven't read yet that are now lost.  Also my pocket mag login no longer works either.  I bought another subscription hoping that it would recognize that I already have one and it charged me again.  I'm now ANGRY!  Fix this ASAP please!!!

### 1/5 — Digital magazine doesn’t work

*2022-07-20*

I am a digital subscriber but it never works. Have been able to access for months now. I paid for an entire year but it has only worked once

### 1/5 — Hoax

*2022-01-13*

I’m a print subscriber and cannot access the digital content as promised. It keeps saying “It’s not your fault, it’s ours”
For over a year? Weak…

### 1/5 — Wouldn’t load, slow when it does.

*2021-10-08*

Worst app.  Wouldn’t load entire magazine at once.  Very slow.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-05-21*

I’m a print subscriber, but I get errors galore trying to view the digital version. Gave up.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-03-07*

I have an active subscription but I can’t access back issues without paying for them. Keep getting “Error connecting to network” message. Rubbish.

### 1/5 — App is broken

*2020-03-21*

It never works and I paid for the subscription and have never received anything. Terrible terrible terrible

### 1/5 — Trash

*2019-12-31*

App is completely broken. Constantly gives an error about connecting to my network constantly. Completely ruins the experience.  Horrible.

### 1/5 — Don’t get it...

*2019-07-26*

I can go on the website and access content for free. Why do I need to login? Pay? Confused.

### 1/5 — Let users unsubscribe

*2016-10-25*

The app does not let users unsubscribe without having to contact easily

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-09-28*

I stopped getting my print version for this. I'll be cancelling my subscription altogether unless this is fixed ASAP.

### 5/5 — Finally on iPhone

*2016-09-11*

Been waiting for this to be available. Nice to be able to access on my phone instead of just iPad.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-12-21*

Magazine app interface looks great and is easy to navigate.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2015-08-02, version 1.5*

Easy to navigate...

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-03-30, version 1.5*

Fun to use, better than other magazine apps I've seen.

### 5/5 — TL

*2014-04-14*

Please contact us at 4163644433 if you are current print subscriber and you having questions regarding your interactive iPad editions. Thanks

### 3/5 — No access for previous issues

*2022-11-15*

I have been a subscriber of Toronto Life for ever and i find it super frustrating to have paid for a digital and paper subscription and to not have access to previous issues on the digital app. I have contacted the company several times to no avail…

### 3/5 — Average app for a good magazine

*2017-02-22*

Pros: Content - the reason I put up with the app.
Cons: Constantly signing in - doesn't seem to remember who I am. Orientation for reading inflexible. Charging me for magazines I've already paid for and are archived?? The New Yorker doesn't do this.

### 3/5 — Good mag, not great app

*2017-02-18*

This is the go-to magazine for the liberal elite in Toronto (yes, hipsters get some love too). Restaurant guide is a must read.  New app isn't great, extremely slow downloads, but you are probably having your PA download for it you, so no worries ....

### 3/5 — Much improved

*2014-09-17, version 1.2*

Seems to be improved under OS 8. Downloads inspections for more speed, and seems to remember past purchases. Worth another look, if you were disappointed before.
