### 2/5 — 5 star magazine, really frustrating/disappointing app

*2026-02-06, version 7.4.10*

What I want more than anything is to be able to pick up where I left off in any given issue, at any given time. You know, as you do IRL, which they would have us believe they are mimicking. Instead, 90% of the time I’ll finish reading and the next time I come back, I have to start all over again. Select Archive (again), select the issue (again) and then scroll back to where I stopped reading previously. It’s one of the few things for which the digital process is actually >much< slower than the analog. Appreciate the magazine itself. Wish it wasn’t harder to enjoy in 2026 than it was in 2016 (or 2006, or 1996…)

### 5/5 — So Glad This Type of Writing Still Has a Place Live!

*2022-07-22, version 7.0.15*

The best Rock rag going. There used to be many options for this type of journalism. Uncut is one of the few left. 
This along with Mojo are the only ones to get it fight anymore. 100% music coverage, great record reviews, great artist profiles, great pictures both new and archived. 
Subscribe to this thing. 
My only beef….why not include a digital download of the months music sampler? 
Let’s all cheer the return of Creem!

### 1/5 — Love Uncut but this app is useless

*2022-02-10, version 7.0.14*

I’ve subscribed to Uncut magazine for over 2 decades now. It has pretty much defined my taste in music and helped me to discover so many artists. 

The previous app allowed me to read through back issues of Uncut, that I had bought physical copies of, on my iOS devices. All this new app does is send you to a sign in page for Pocketmags. Opening a Pocketmags account does nothing but get you put on a spam mailing list. My library of Uncut back issues has now vanished, and there appears to be no way of re-adding them. I don’t know why they couldn’t just keep the old app going, this new one is useless.

### 5/5 — The best music mag out there!

*2021-12-30, version 7.0.14*

With so many music mags biting the dust over the years, it’s a relief that we’ve still got Uncut and that doesn’t look like changing any time soon(here’s hoping)!

### 1/5 — Still a shame.

*2021-05-23*

Wonderful magazine. But the app hasn't improved at all. Today it demands to be read with my ipad turned upside down, can’t reach the store (for the tempting new Prince-themed issue) and need I tell you still doesn’t restore my old buys. That’s a shame!

### 2/5 — Great magazine. Mediocre app

*2021-05-01, version 6.4.0*

It used to be easy to access past purchases and but new issues. Now, however, it won’t allow for new purchases. Irritating and frustrating.

### 5/5 — Great zine

*2021-04-14, version 6.4.0*

And no problems w the Mac app.

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2021-01-16, version 6.4.0*

Shuts down, freezes randomly.  Very touchy, creates bookmarks as you navigate the page.  Needs a lot of work.

### 3/5 — New App

*2020-05-05, version 6.0.6*

You will see from below the dangers of updating this App. However, Pocketmags have helped me to get all my past purchases back. I cannot praise this team enough. Difficult situation because of App Store policy, but they made it work. Thanks guys. I would rate 5* for the service, but clearly 1* for the problem. Therefore I am amending my review to 3*.

Do not under any circumstance update. Spent hundreds of pounds over years (at least) and all under threat. Cannot find word to express anger and disgust (I can, but can’t print it). I echo what everyone else has said. Even if you don’t care about ripping off customers. At least realise that this is the end if not resolved. Nobody is foolish enough to fall for this twice.

### 1/5 — Image quality too poor to read on iPhone 11 Pro Max

*2020-04-23, version 6.0.6*

At time of writing, I have the biggest, highest-res iPhone screen there is, and when I make the text big enough to read, it’s so soft and blurry it gives me a headache. 

Went right back to Apple News+ to check I wasn’t going blind, and even the content where you blow up print layouts is crystal clear.

The mag’s content is good, but this app fails in its only task, I’m afraid.

(Tested with June 2020 issue with Prince on the cover.)
