### 1/5 — All purchased magazines dated before 2018 have not been restored after waiting over TWO YEARS

*2025-06-19*

For more than 2 years I have been patiently waiting to have access restored to my many purchased magazines dated before 2018. These were all quietly removed when the app developer was changed  (previously it was ZINIO, who had been fantastic to deal with). I have sent multiple emails to support about this, but after initially being told this would take weeks to fix, I am still waiting. As a very long time reader it is so disappointing to see how far things have slipped. The app now also crashes when trying to access magazine view so there is no way to even read in magazine view. After remaining optimistic, I now wish I had not renewed my subscription and I will not do so again.

### 1/5 — My magazine purchases are gone since I updated the app

*2023-12-21*

I’m thoroughly disgusted…since I’ve updated the app magazines I’ve purchased are gone and several recent purchases I haven’t even read yet. I’ve been a customer for years and haven’t been offered any help with this problem. I’ve contacted them directly through the app and nothing has been to resolve this problem. I’ve spent a lot of money purchasing many magazines on the app and they’re all gone.

### 1/5 — Rien ne va plus

*2023-09-22*

Pas capable  d’ouvrir les magazines déjà achetés.  Pas capable de s abonner.  Application à éviter.  Dommage, ça fonctionnait bien il y a quelques années.

### 1/5 — Download never ever works!

*2022-12-19*

Really tired of having to contact you for every issue!  You take the money just fine but I have to contact you to get my magazine.  I wants some money off!

### 1/5 — Lost my mags

*2022-08-20*

Started my subscription in April this yr and now all mags are gone and I can’t get them back. A new mag out and it wont down load. PLEASE FIX THIS

### 1/5 — Fantastic magazine - horrible app and even worse customer service

*2022-05-10*

I have a regular subscription to Victoria Magazine through Apple. Every time a new issue is released I have to contact the terrible customer service at Zinio in an effort to get any issue I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR. This has been going on for at least a year and a half. You would have thought by now they would attempt to remedy this as I know I’m not the only person going through this.

### 1/5 — No Support!

*2021-10-06*

I have been trying for so long now to download any of the magazines that I have subscription too but there’s no support to contact if a person is unable to hear someone and your eyes are your ears!!!
I thought the new update would have fix the problem but still unable to receive any of the messages that I have paid for years now.😒#👀are my ears!

### 1/5 — Subscription doesn’t work - buyer beware!

*2021-09-23*

Loved this magazine growing up and was so excited to renew my subscription as an adult but this app just doesn’t work. I would highly recommend not subscribing through the app. Every month my iPad tells me there is a new subscription but when I go into the library it’s not there. However I can see it on my iPhone (though when I open up the magazine there, I can’t see the pictures and all of the text!!). When I go back to my iPad to press the “subscribe” button on the latest magazine it tells me I’m already subscribed. For the last two months I was able to repeatedly refresh my subscription and eventually after a few days the magazine would appear but it’s not working this month. For two months now I’ve used the contact us feature on the app to send a note to the developer and they consistently ignore me. Please refund my money!!!

### 1/5 — Digital or hard copy

*2021-08-11*

Your app doesn’t specify if the order is digital or hard copy, are orders thru this app digital only?

### 5/5 — Exquisite

*2021-06-17*

Victoria is a retreat for me. An escape to all things beautiful.
