### 1/5 — Don’t subscribe via app

*2026-06-15*

Do not pay for subscription through the app, it’s a scam, you will not receive full access. Order subscription through magazine website and then add it to the app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. In order to help you enjoy the app more we would love to have a better understanding of the particular issues you are facing. Please contact us at with more detailed information at support@zinio.com quoting ref #1551970.

### 5/5 — Dismayed

*2023-05-17*

The app works on my phone but won’t let me sign in on my iPad. I kinda like to read it on my iPad cause it’s bigger. Was working fine before but keeps stating I’m not a subscriber on the iPad while my Apple Pay subscription is good until September. What gives?

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking time to give us a review. We are sorry to hear about your experience we certainly understand you are disappointed. Please be rest assured that you will get access to all your issues included in your account. We will be happy to solve all the problems reported by you. Kindly contact our support team at mdphelp@ziniopro.com quoting 1301415 so they can help you with this. Thanks a lot once again our apologies for the trouble.

### 5/5 — Magazine is great - the reader app, not so much

*2023-05-09*

Reading a mag online should be a pleasurable experience.  After all, one can scroll, zoom on details, easily flip around to any desired content - well, that’s what one would “like” to do - but not so smooth with this reader.  I suppose I’m spoiled with the current PDF readers and how smooth and seamless they work - 

Wood Magazine is great and the writers are top notch - wish this app was up to par.

**Developer response:** Hi , thanks so much for your comments. We are delighted that you are enjoying reading your ZINIO magazines anywhere/anytime thanks to our ZINIO mobile app. If we can help you further enjoy our app, please contact us at support@zinio.com quoting ref #1299436. Thanks for your review and have a great day!

### 5/5 — Great app but some bumps

*2021-09-17*

This is really a very well designed and easy to use app. The articles look just like the magazine, and this is my favorite magazine for woodworking. It’s focused on sophisticated woodworking but not too advanced. 

Complaints: linking my subscription was unnecessarily complicated. It didn’t work at first.I reached customer service easily but they abruptly dumped my case and gave me an email for different customer service halfway through resolution. (Have you ever heard of the forward button?)

The second leg (Zineo) quickly linked my account. 

Another complaint, I wish it was easier to search and purchase plans. You can search old issues and buy those, but you can’t buy plans which would be great. I think it’s possible on the website but not here that I can find. 

Normally these flaws would be a big downgrade, but the content and app is perfect.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback Geneorama. ZinioPro is committed to delivering the best reading experience possible, and feedback like yours is the most important part of the process. If we can help you further enjoy our app, please contact us at mdphelp@ziniopro.com quoting ref #1137077.

### 1/5 — Won,t let me read my subscription

*2020-11-04*

Things used to be better, had access to all the issues I bought, but now the app won’t open properly. All it does is sit and spin.  I am only able to get it to open by deleting (which deletes all of my local content) and reloading the app from the App Store. I have gotten adept at logging back in which seems to work for a very short time for one issue viewing only which barely downloads.  I queue up downloads of previous issues to be able to reference them, but they never download.  When I return to the app for later viewing, all it does is sit and spin.  Big mistake to switch from print to digital. Very disappointed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to give us a review, todd567384. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. The good news is that upon escalating this to our development team they confirmed to have identified the root cause and are busy working to release a fix as soon as possible. Meanwhile, please access the magazine through Wood Magazine website(https://wood.zinioapps.com/shop). For more detailed information, please contact us at mdphelp@ziniopro.com quoting ref 1035611, so we can help you with this. Thanks a lot.

### 2/5 — Login problem

*2020-10-06*

So I download the app, go to set up a login in the app but you can’t, so I went to the website and set up a profile. I go back to the login in the app and it asks for my email and that’s it. I press next and it email or password incorrect. Well no way?!?! There isn’t a place to put the password in the app. Also I subscribe to the 1 year deal but it doesn’t get me access to anything because I can’t login to the app or anything. Please fix!

**Developer response:** Hi Marinejoe, thanks for your comments. We are very sorry to hear about your experience. In this new app upgrade you need to go to Account > Sign in > Print + Digital Subscriber then enter your 10 digit account number or email address. You will then get access to you magazines. If you have other feedback about we are here and happy to help, contact us at mdphelp@ziniopro.com quoting ref 1024945. Thanks for your review!

### 1/5 — Subscribed but cannot download anything

*2020-01-11, version 2.0.7*

Horrible app, unfortunately there is no way to give 0 stars. Just made a new subscription and the app just goes into a loop and gives the option to subscribe only to tell you that you are already subscribed, yet you cannot download any magazines. Will be cancelling my subscription.

### 1/5 — App not supported!

*2020-01-10*

It looks like this version of the app for Wood magazine is no longer supported. I have an iTunes subscription, but there is no way to get new magazines or restore old ones. No information on where to go next either. Wood Magazine, Zinio and Meredith support have no clue or information either. Yet, they continue to take my money. Complete waste of my time. Avoid this app and get Wood from some other source. Or, read another woodworking magazine. Fine Woodworking and Popular Woodworking magazine apps work fine.

**Developer response:** Hello *Blubearie*  We had a temporary problem with the Wood Magazine which should now be resolved.  If you continue have problems accessing your iTunes subscription please contact us at meredithapps@ziniopro.com.  Thanks a lot

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2019-11-18, version 2.0.7*

This app quit working months a go lost all my mags

### 1/5 — Unable to use

*2019-11-10*

I have reached out several time trying to get app is resolved but no luck, customer certainly doesn’t seem interested in service. This has been going on for months, I was hoping that with time it would be corrected since it seems to be a common problem. Terrible app and terrible “service “.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to give us a review, BEYC376. We are very sorry to hear about your experience.  Please be assured that you will get access to all the back issues and subscription included in your account. If our support team have not already resolved this for you, please contact them at meredithapps@ziniopro.com quoting ref 895181 so they can help you with this. Thanks a lot.
