Unusable. Shame….. ### 1/5 — Why can't I access all the magazines *2015-04-11* I just bought this and I can't access all the Magazines I pay 12$ for 1 year when I press on the magazine I want to read it say to sign in I do that and it dose nothing Im not asking for a refund but I want you to contact me to tell me what to do fix it please or I will lodge a complaint. Thank you ### 1/5 — Cancelled subscription *2014-05-21, version 6.61* Cancelled my subscription due to downloads deleting themselves.Constantly having to download same issues is very annoying.I paid for my digital copies to read offline on my iPad which does not have 3G.If you pay for downloads you should be allowed to keep them on your iPad as long as you want. ### 1/5 — Are you kidding me? *2014-04-08* After years of waiting for an iphone app update for iphone 5 screen , I get a stretched and skewed looking splash screen, while the magazines pages are the same size as before ! Please re-redesign it ### 1/5 — Great publication, bad app *2014-03-31* The publication itself is a wonderful database of aquarium and aquatic information whether it be freshwater, saltwater, plants, invertebrates, water chemistry, etc. However, the app falls short as it is always crashing and rarely opens anymore. It takes several attempts before i can finally start browsing the app or old magazie s i've purchased. Please fix the app! ### 1/5 — Crashing *2014-02-25, version 6.4* Crashes and closes within a second of loading on iphone 5s ### 1/5 — Always crashes in iPhone 5 *2014-02-10* Can't get the app open. Kind of frustrating to pay for a subscription and not be abled to use it. ### 1/5 — Useless *2014-01-06, version 6.4* App crashes all the time, when it does load you can't open your purchases, I keep getting error 'service not available' needs a lot of work. ### 1/5 — Fail! *2012-09-02, version 5.0* I payed to download a mag and while reading accidentally tapped an advert that sent me to the monster fish forums now it's stuck there so I can't read the mag or access any app options. Not happy as I paid! ### 3/5 — The magazine is great the app not so much *2023-03-07* This app has not been updated in 7 years and it shows the app is slow and buggy. It crashes way more than I would like it to. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great magazine *2012-08-20* TFH is already a great magazine and this app deserves 5 stars just like the printed version. There are free past issues you can download and read also there is a free one (e. version) issue offer at their web site. Those are great contributions to aquarium hobby and hobbiests, thank you so much guys, you are awesome. I wish Apple would let me give more stars 😊. ### 5/5 — awesome *2012-06-18* love the app good information and nice pictures! ### 4/5 — Subscription Price? *2018-09-01, version 33* I would subscribe to this magazine but the annual price of $13.99 doesn't make sense. There are 6 issues per year and a single copy is $1.39 which equates to $8.34 total. How does this math work? ### 4/5 — Good now that it's working. *2014-01-25, version 6.4* Initial install didn't work but after removing and reinstalling it seems to be fine now and is a pretty decent app. ### 4/5 — Nicely done but... *2012-08-25* The magazine is well laid out. I do wish it supported the retina display of the current iPad for higher resolution text and graphics but its passable. Likewise I wish it would automatically go into the newsstand were all my other publications go. ### 4/5 — Best fish magazine! *2012-08-11, version 5.0* I was so thrilled to see tropical fish hobbyist on the app store. What would make it 5 stars in my opinion is if I could read the magazines in newsstand! Excellent app, I love it!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
