### 2/5 — Womens Day Mag Digital Version

*2024-08-23, version 23.0*

This App use to be really good to read the issues, but for past 2 years it is very different, and difficult to read issues. Either they have yet to make app version to go with Apple os updates. Please improve this APP, or I will switch back to buying the paper version of magazine which I have avoided paper version, I have no place to recycle them only in the trash.

### 2/5 — Long time download

*2015-11-29, version 5.1.0*

Like the magazine, do not like how it has to download each page as you read. Have to read in wifi only.

### 3/5 — Love to read on tablet but want paper too

*2014-08-09, version 3.2.3*

I subscribed for years because I love Woman's Day but have been adding digital to all my subscriptions as I get more chances to read them that way. I hate that with WD I get one or the other unless I pay for both which is why I gave this just 3 stars. App works great except latest update which won't load at all on my tablet and keeps u from anymore issues!

### 1/5 — A come on!

*2014-06-09, version 3.1.1*

All through the print magazine it encourages to download the app and see how to ..  What they forgot to say was ..."and it only works if you pay more money!"

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2014-02-09, version 2.6.1*

Every month it has to be deleted and reinstalled to download the new issue.   Looks like someone could eventually figure out how to fix this.

### 3/5 — In App purchase false advertising

*2014-01-13, version 2.6.1*

I like the magazine and thought I'd try the app version. An ad in the app said try the January issue for $0.99, but I was charged $2.99.

### 3/5 — Bookmarks

*2013-09-17, version 2.5.1*

Needs bookmarks. Should be able to save a page as a favorite for future reference. Unsure if I'll be renewing.

### 1/5 — Disrespect

*2013-07-26, version 2.5.0*

Talk about turning your back on those who've supported you for years. I'm tired of Magazine Publishers not showing some respect to the people that kept them going when print was your only choice. I'm canceling all my print magazines and NOT subscribing to the digital.

### 1/5 — Never a Subscriber Again

*2013-07-12, version 2.5.0*

I will never subscribe to this magazine again......I have subscribed to this magazine for years!!!  Much to my dismay, I do not have access to the digital version through my IPAD! WD needs to get with the program!

### 1/5 — Dissatisfied

*2013-06-05, version 2.5.0*

I am very disappointed that I cannot access my subscription to WD on my iPad. I have subscribed for years and looked forward to reading on my iPad and not lugging my paper version around. Will not renew my subscription if this doesn't change.

### 3/5 — Lost Issues

*2013-06-03, version 2.5.0*

I am being asked to buy issues that were previously downloaded. Hoping this gets resolved soon. I don't like being asked to buy what I already paid for.
The print used to be way too small but thankfully that has been fixed.

### 1/5 — Help

*2023-05-15, version 23.0*

For the last few months the pages are not loading correctly and I can’t find a help feature to contact someone to help me.  I’ve deleted the app and reinstalled but that doesn’t help.  Please let me know how to proceed.  Sorry to make this public but I feel I have no other option

### 1/5 — Great magazine if you can access it

*2019-05-28, version 13.0*

Every month it says I need to purchase it even though I am an active subscriber...I put in my email and password and they say I’m wrong....but they don’t give you a way to retrieve that info because after I write to them with their in house email they say the email addy I have used for years is not a real email address...I am so done....

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2018-12-18, version 12.5*

I ordered this from my niece for Girl Scouts and I can’t even get the log in to work.  I put in my information a couple times and had someone else do it for me and nothing.  A waste of money

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2018-10-18, version 12.0*

I ordered this magazine and another from Girl Scouts and I wanted paperbacks. And now they send e-mail that I got digital and when I logged in it shut off and said I have no subscription. Never do this EVER again.

### 1/5 — App hasn’t worked right since update

*2018-02-05, version 10.0*

At least before I could suffer thru; now I can’t turn past the cover page of the March issue. If I didn’t cancel before, I'm cancelling now. App stinks.

### 1/5 — It doesn't work

*2017-06-27, version 6.0*

I have purchased a subscription and the app doesn't work. It doesn't download the magazine's issues.

### 1/5 — Does this exist

*2015-03-18, version 5.0.1*

Did not know the app existed until an update came in.  The app does not show as an icon on the iPad.

The only way I can run it is through the App Store. So I can not delete it either.

### 1/5 — Needs new app

*2015-01-25, version 3.4.0*

The App downloads the issues at glacial speed. I would not have purchased a subscription if I'd know downloading issues would be such a pain.

### 1/5 — Crashed after update

*2014-10-22, version 3.3.1*

Apparently there is a problem since the 8.1 update. The magazine now crashes immediately after opening it.

### 1/5 — Print subscriptions should include digital access

*2014-08-07, version 3.2.3*

Print subscriptions should include digital access. I enjoy reading both at different times.

### 5/5 — Love Women's Day!

*2016-01-02, version 5.1.2*

I love the article topics in WD magazine. The visual pictures are inviting and I think the magazine is laid out very well. I find the content of the magazine to be very thoughtful and purposeful.

### 5/5 — Free issue

*2015-05-16, version 5.0.3*

I have read Woman's Day for years. I love the magazine, the stories, he ideas.  I'm just previewing this free issue until my renewal issue arrives.

Thanks Woman's Day!!

### 5/5 — Missed WD!

*2015-03-26, version 5.0.1*

I haven't been physically able to get to a store in so long to buy a Woman's Day magazine and I love the whole magazine - from the Bible verse on the contents page to the thoughts and quotes on the last page.  I look forward to the monthly menu and all the recipes to keep me out of the hamburger in a bag rut. Love the decorating tips, organizing ideas, crafts, finds, and everything else.  So glad to catch up with an 'old friend' again.

### 5/5 — I like it!

*2015-02-11, version 3.4.0*

Initially I hesitated on the digital format, but I enjoy and read more of the magazine now that it is readily available. Good for all that now I'm no throwing out paper magazines.

### 5/5 — Love Love Love

*2015-02-11, version 3.4.0*

I've been buying and reading WD since the 1960's when I was in my late teens. I always found it very informative.  Now I can read on my phone and I love it.

### 5/5 — Great magazine

*2014-09-11, version 3.2.3*

I have always loved Woman's Day magazine and having it in digital form is even better!  It is easy to navigate and always at my fingertips when needed.

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2014-09-09, version 3.2.3*

Until recently I was receiving hard copies of Woman's Day. I recently upgraded my hardcopy subscription to online subscription.  I love it! The index, which you can tap and it takes you right to the article. Once in the article you can tap on links to take you further into the article.

### 5/5 — Great magazine

*2014-08-05, version 3.2.3*

I like the different things I can learn from this magazine and I love the ease of reading it on my tablet or my phone instead of having to keep track of physical magazines and worry about someone accidentally losing it or throwing it away etc. Great magazine, no complaints so far.

### 5/5 — Terrible

*2013-01-05, version 2.3.1*

you shouldn't have to pay for digital versions when you already subscribe to the print version. shame on you, Woman's Day!
