The publishers need to check that the print edition works on the phone app. Other recent editions also have had jumbled up words. **Developer response:** 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 ### 3/5 — Buggy and not useful *2020-02-15, version 5.6.0* 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 As a lot of the information in the magazine becomes outdated within a year or two this is rather pointless.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. ### 2/5 — No Pocketmags integration. *2020-01-24, version 5.6.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Review *2018-09-25, version 5.3.3* 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. ### 2/5 — Hate, hate, hate it *2018-08-05* 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 **Developer response:** We are very sorry that you do not like the new format. We carried out a lot of user testing before making this change and we feel that this solution offers the best reading experience for customers across all of the different screen sizes on Apple devices.

The viewer application falls short. The application allows you to download one issue at a time and the download often stops before completion. This problem has not been resolved through many application updates. I did pay for all back issues but still can not download them on my iPad for offline reading. As a genealogist, this magazine is superb for all levels. Pricey and focused on the United Kingdom but the content is excellent and highly relevant for U.S. readers. ### 4/5 — Nice periodical *2016-10-25* Note that this is a U.K.- focused publication, although it does cover other countries? The magazine reads well on my iPad. I love that references in articles to other websites are live. It is a bit pricey, however. ### 5/5 — Lots of information *2016-10-01, version 3.3.60* A fantastic app and easy to use. Lots of interesting information, the variety is immense. Past additions available. I don't know why I haven't subscribed to this before. Details of websites and records available, stories from readers...An excellent tool. ### 5/5 — Fave mag without the paper pile or the wait *2016-09-21, version 3.3.60* I have just subscribed for twelve months. I love this magazine, but being in Australia we don't get it at the same time as the UK, and with the fluctation of the Aussie dollar, the paper version has got quite expensive. This way I have the edition quickly, much more cheaply and without the decision of what articles to keep..... Because I can keep them all! Best general family history mag in the world. ### 5/5 — Really good app *2016-09-20, version 3.3.60* I love this app because it lets me keep all my issues with articles I want to refer back to without having piles of magazines in my house. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Faulty *2025-05-28, version 8.7* 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. ### 1/5 — Df *2025-05-27, version 8.7* Total rubbish can’t get my subscription to work tried to report it that doesn’t work either ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-08-29* Bad get rid thanks ### 1/5 — DO NOT UPDATE *2022-04-13, version 7.0.0* 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 ### 1/5 — Ueless Search *2020-04-05, version 5.6.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2018-08-12* 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. **Developer response:** We are very sorry that you do not like the new format.

An app like yours needs the ability to rotate to landscape. I stopped caring the minute I saw you dont accomodate it. ### 1/5 — Useless as "server problems" *2016-01-26, version 3.3.51* I received an advertising email so subscribed & set up a direct debit only to have wasted a day and a half trying to download anything & so far no reply at all from "support". I have an excellent Internet connection & the problem seems to be confined to this App. ### 1/5 — Alan Burnett *2015-07-25, version 3.3.43* I tried to buy an individual copy of the magazine using this app and it would not download (although it managed to take my money) After endless emails to their support service they don't seem able to solve the problem nor can they give me a refund and simply suggest that I contact Apple! Poor app, poor service, poor experience. Which is a pity as the magazine is a good one. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Who Do You Think You Are, Informative, interesting, and Fun to read! *2020-12-11* Love to get the latest issue. Especially like information on DNA. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Terrific Magazine *2020-11-20* The articles are well written & interesting. ### 5/5 — Informative and detailed *2019-05-11, version 5.4.1* I enjoy the reading WDYTYA and would definitely recommend this to others, I find the historical stories fascinating and intellectually engaging. ### 5/5 — Ms *2017-08-03, version 3.11.2* Excellent. I prefer the electronic version to the paper one as the hyperlinks make it so much quicker and easier to locate further details ### 5/5 — Lots to learn *2017-04-21* 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! ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-04-20* Love this app. Everything is easy to use. ### 5/5 — Great resource *2017-04-17, version 3.10.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Who do you think you are *2017-04-07* Great app. Wonderful magazine. Easy to use and love the active links. ### 5/5 — Who do you think you are? *2017-04-02, version 3.10.0* A fantastic magazine full of useful information. Having it on my iPad and therefore with me all the time even better ### 5/5 — Great magazine *2017-03-12, version 3.3.65* Good mix of articles, interesting and helpful for all genealogists at what ever level. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
