### 1/5 — Don't buy the subscription

*2015-12-27, version 1.0.2*

I downloaded the app for my mother who was a fan of the original magazine. I was excited to find a digital version of this but have been extremely disappointed with my experience so far.
I purchased a year's subscription but can't access any content. I also tried purchasing a single issue but it won't download that content either.
A very frustrating app.

### 1/5 — No new downloads

*2015-10-01, version 1.0.2*

If you can't fix the problem, give my money back. This the worst app ever👎 they took my money, but still can't get any new downloads. You don't deserve any star 👎👎👎👎😁😁😁

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2015-03-04, version 1.0.2*

It is not support on iphone6....indianexpress app is better than manorama

### 1/5 — Pls fix the signing in issue and let us read it without download the magazine

*2015-01-18, version 1.0.2*

Pls fix the signing in issue and let us read it without download the magazine ..

Singing issue is really annoying and it won't the user name and password ; need to enter every time when I need to read magazine...
I would be great if users can read the magazine with out downloading ..

### 1/5 — How do we sign in with our magzter ID subscription

*2014-11-30, version 1.0.2*

We already bought the subscription and using it through magzter. How do we use that login to  read it on the newsstand vanitha app..?
Thanks as we want to read and see how it works in the vanitha app? Please don't ask us to subscribe again twice  !!

### 1/5 — After IOS upgrade

*2014-10-15, version 1.0.1*

After IOS upgrade there is download error "folio"; also these days the bi-monthly editions are made available too late, 4-5 days or more.

### 1/5 — Good App

*2014-10-11, version 1.0.1*

Almost all the leading Magazine apps have few editions hosted free. Manorama  publications can  provide few past issues for free and update on a time basis to host more of the past issues for any one to do a trial of the app before purchasing.

### 1/5 — Always some issues

*2023-08-06, version 2.0.3*

Most of the time, it is hard to open the new magazine, and sometimes I do not see the new edition even though I signed back in. Customer service needs to be contacted every time. This is ridiculous, and it is a waste of money

### 1/5 — Worse and most buggy app

*2019-12-18, version 1.0.9*

Don’t release this type of worst apps

### 1/5 — Worst app

### 1/5 — Family sharing does not work

*2018-07-28, version 1.0.6*

I bought a new I pad and I cannot access the magazine even when I use the same iTunes account. There is no option to restore account setting either

### 1/5 — Waste of money and time

*2017-12-09, version 1.0.4*

This app crashes on login. Manorama need good developers to keep up to date with IOS changes. Ipad version used to work in the past. Now both Ipad and Iphone versions crash on launch. Looks like Manorama doesn't care about feedback.  Vanitha app deserve zero star .

### 1/5 — Sign-in issue

*2016-01-03, version 1.0.2*

It used to work before. Since renewal of subscription it cant authenticate with e-subscription id & password. Lost 16$.

### 5/5 — Buggy app. Issues after each update

*2019-10-10*

Buggy app. One or other issues always. It will ask to buy even if you have a valid subscription. If you contact the support, they take 4-5 days to respond. Very poor. Cannot read offline . Even after Download it will disappear and ask to buy again. No quality . A typical Indian app
the developers don’t know how to build a quality application. all offline material will disappear after update.  Family sharing will not work . 
If I can give zero , I would give that . So frustrating
