5 star magazine, really frustrating/disappointing app
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…)

So Glad This Type of Writing Still Has a Place Live!
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!

Love Uncut but this app is useless
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.

The best music mag out there!
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)!
Still a shame.
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!
Great magazine. Mediocre app
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.
Great zine
And no problems w the Mac app.
Buggy
Shuts down, freezes randomly. Very touchy, creates bookmarks as you navigate the page. Needs a lot of work.
New App
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.

Image quality too poor to read on iPhone 11 Pro Max
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.)

Lost issues
After the recent app upgrade, I started using this app and only 4 issues restored. I have years of magazines that I lost. HELP!
UPDATE: Uncut restored all my back issues. I’m a fan again!

Response from developer
You should now have full access to your missing issues, there was a transition of the app which caused this to occur. If you are still encountering problems with missing issues please contact us directly at help@pocketmags.com
Too bad
I can not download the issues I had bought before this new app!
Shockingly Bad
I can’t access the issues I’ve paid for as the app asks me to sign into my Apple account but provides no way of doing so. Needless to say that my emails to Pocketmags have gone unanswered so I’ve cancelled my subscription.
In need of help
Has anyone yet had any joy in downloading this new app without totally losing all their old copies? Is my only option to cancel my on line subscription and start buying a hard copy every month again?
The worst ‘upgrade’ in history
The new version of Uncut is a complete train smash. Don’t even think about upgrading if you haven’t already! None of my past purchases through iTunes will restore and cant open anything. Total ineptitude.
Doesn’t Work.
Please get this app to work. I’ve lost all my previous purchases ~ including specials.
New App
Doesn’t seem to work on iPad or iPhone ... hope you’re getting a fix ? Going round in circles with pocketmags , keep telling me to reinstall .... it doesn’t work how many more times do I need to tell you ? Are you going to refund all the issues I’ve bought ?
Recent update crashes the app
I can’t get in. Somebody help. Please.
Does not restore !
This new app does not restore previous purchases made via iTunes. Deeply disappointed! Sort it out please!
App crashes the App Store until reboot
After installing I was unable to update any apps on my IPad and the App Store says this app isn’t installed. The only way to resolve is to reboot my IPad. The App Store will then work again until the app is opened. I have tested this several times to confirm that it’s not a coincidence.
