Faulty
Signed up for a subscription and paid.I was then unable to download a copy of the magazine, it came up with a error message. I instantly cancelled my subscription.

Total rubbish can’t get my subscription to work tried to report it that doesn’t work either
Awful
Bad get rid thanks
Can’t read type
Current edition has white type on a pale background which makes it impossible to read on phone. The publishers need to check that the print edition works on the phone app. Other recent editions also have had jumbled up words.

Thank you for getting in touch. Apologies you're having trouble with your App, if you would get in touch via this form https://www.immediateapps.co.uk/digital-contact-form/ we can troubleshoot this issue. Many thanks
DO NOT UPDATE
I have updated the app and lost all my magazines. It will not show them and today the media company even took a new payment. Absolute disaster so if you want to read the magazine, buy it at a newsagent as this app no longer works despite removing and re downloading 3 times
Who Do You Think You Are, Informative, interesting, and Fun to read!
Love to get the latest issue.
Especially like information on DNA.
Thanks!

Terrific Magazine
The articles are well written & interesting.
Ueless Search
Already have a hardcopy subscription so downloaded only to test the search facility. Frankly it is useless. Unable to use “” facility to narrow search results. Searched for “Buns on board” which is a hopefully unique caption appearing in April 2020 edition. The search found masses if hits from endless editions for words containing “on”.
Don’t bother with it.

Buggy and not useful
Two issues:
1. When you search for an article as soon as the result are displayed it crashes unless you are extremely quick in choosing a result.
Edit: this fault happened for the first day or two. It seems to have been corrected.
2. I already have two or three years back numbers - I already have a subscription. I downloaded this app to give me the ability to search these back issues. The results generated from a search don’t tell where the article is and only offer to sell me the mag containing that article. As a lot of the information in the magazine becomes outdated within a year or two this is rather pointless.
Edit: on some searches the actual pages are displayed and on others only a preview is offered of the mag issue it is in.
The app needs a function that just indexes the articles and tells you where your search result appears. If then you don’t have that copy you can then buy it.

No Pocketmags integration.
The app is fine for reading, its just a shame that it doesn’t integrate with Pocketmags as some of my magazines are bought through that and some are from iTunes. When I look at my library in the app, it looks like I am missing some issues because the Pocketmags ones don’t show up as purchased issues.

Informative and detailed
I enjoy the reading WDYTYA and would definitely recommend this to others, I find the historical stories fascinating and intellectually engaging.
Review
I really love reading my WDYTYA on the iPad but this has got to be the world’s most unstable app. Nothing it is supposed to do ever works and I have to contact their support most of the times a new issue comes out to get them to fix access problems.
Disappointed
I had a automatic subscription then it seemed to stop. I downloaded the newest issue and I was like something is wrong. This was one of my favorite magazines in print and online. It is popular that the issues at Barnes and noble go fast so I relied on the online version. I feel like I am not getting the magazine in the new app and the content is set up in that I feeling that I am not getting the whole article. What a disappointment. I will have to take my chances at the store. Online is not worth $4.99.

Hate, hate, hate it
I hate the new app. It’s more like a collection of web-based articles than a Family History magazine. It’s bad enough that I’m considering ending my subscription

Very unstable.
Will only subscribe when bugs, of which there are many, get sorted out.

Excellent. I prefer the electronic version to the paper one as the hyperlinks make it so much quicker and easier to locate further details
Lots to learn
Love the opportunity to learn more about researching across the pond. Great app - get the current edition the same time as everyone else and much more economical than a getting the overseas subscription!
Love it
Love this app. Everything is easy to use.
Great resource
Great resource for anyone researching their family history. Wish I had subscribed years ago, downloaded over the weekend and have lost hours browsing through linked websites. Highly recommend.
Who do you think you are
Great app. Wonderful magazine. Easy to use and love the active links.
