Great articles with lots of detail.  The app keeps improving and is more user friendly than it used to be.

### 4/5 — Great magazine

*2013-07-27*

I am very happy with the magazine, but downloading and finding issues is not intuitive.

### 3/5 — Good mag; avg app

*2013-07-12*

Generally love the content. The app feels like more of a barrier.

### 5/5 — Woodturning app

*2013-06-20*

The Woodturning magazine is great. Probably the best turning magazine out there, but the app is terrible. Printing an article from the magazine is not very clear. It would be much better if the magazine was downloadable as a file.

### 5/5 — Great turning ideas

Excellent mag, easy to read, love how you can zoom in to see better detail.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Should have listened to other reviewer

*2019-10-03*

It doesn’t work!

### 1/5 — Woodturning Magazine

*2017-03-13*

Bought app yesterday. Made one in-app purchase. Now not possible to access app or magazine purchased.  Title screen appears and either freezes or constantly requests account set-up,  which was completed before in app purchase.

### 1/5 — POS

*2013-01-06, version 4.2.4*

If you like getting F#CKED get this app.

### 1/5 — Zero Stars from me.

*2012-11-22*

I would give it zero stars if I could, because once again it doesn't work. This is the third time in a year. I just updated to the 4 th gen. IPad, and when/if I choose to view the magazine the screen goes black. I know apple is giving developers lots of opportunity to com play with new hardware in advance. Why is it you can never keep up. I have removed my auto renew. I have had enough.

### 1/5 — Woodturning review

*2012-06-09*

I purchased a six month subscription and have not been able to view any of the magazine. App is continuously doing a page download. I think they way over engineered this app. I read several other publications without all the headache that this app presents. I would suggest staying away from this app until improvements are made.

### 1/5 — Have to keep reinstalling app

*2012-03-29*

Everytime I buy a new magazine I have to delete the app from my Ipad then reload it.
Please fix this, what a pain

### 1/5 — Free offer

*2012-01-16*

Be careful when accepting an offer of a free issue. I was charged for the so called free issue!

### 1/5 — Duh

*2011-06-27*

I live in the US, bought through the US AppStore, and get a UK edition mag.  Not that I don't like the UK, as I lived there 6 years, but a US version is preferred.

### 2/5 — Slow

*2015-10-10*

Since iOS 9 downloading an issue is painfully slow

### 2/5 — Lost Potential

*2012-04-28*

Bought the app. Then paid for 12 month subscription along with buying every single past issue listed. After that I downloaded every issue. Had some issues getting this same information to the iPhone & after contacting the app owners they & I gave up on the iPhone. Now on the iPad I have only a few issues downloaded & credit for 6 issues left. Other than that the app now wants me to re-purchase all of the old issues again. NOT A CHANCE. - already wasted way too much money.

### 5/5 — Wood turning

*2021-07-09*

I really enjoy this magazine they give me a lot of projects that I want to try and keep me posted on what is new in wood turning at one time there was another magazine dedicated to wood turning but they went out of business

### 5/5 — Fantastic App. Fantastic magazine

*2019-11-03*

App tools to manoeuvre through and manage the magazine are very useful. Magazine itself certainly pitched at an ideal level for beginners like myself. I assume for all levels as well. Interesting, concise articles and sound practical advice.

### 5/5 — Best Woodturning Magazine

*2019-01-27*

Digital version is best method for receiving this magazine in the States. Something of interest in every issue. Great way to keep up to date with latest tools and methods.

### 5/5 — App is great for having magazine always available,

*2018-07-21*

I look forward to each new issue.  Most enjoyed magazine

### 5/5 — Woodturning Mag

*2017-07-13, version 4.9.99*

One word:  AWESOME!

### 5/5 — Great Magazine

*2017-01-14*

Great content. My favorite woodturning Magazine. If you are a woodturner you need this Magazine.

### 5/5 — Great mag

*2016-11-25*

Great magazine and great platform from pocketmags

### 5/5 — Woodturning magazines

*2015-05-16*

What I consider to be the best woodturning magazine currently available. Woodturning Design was the only real competition and since it was shut down by the publisher, Woodturning Magazine is it. There are several other on line magazines and they are ok, but don't go into the level of detail that this magazine does. I used to get the paper version but here in the states it's just too expensive. I'm currently a club president and teach at the local wood store, but find as much inspiration from this magazine as I do from all other sources available. Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — Helps me expand my creativity

*2015-05-08*

While I have been involved in woodworking for awhile, it is always advisable to read about what others are doing. Reading the articles expands my creativity and encourages me to experiment. I find woodworking is a type of therapy after a long hard day at work. Reading about what others do gives me focus, and the joy of success at looking at my project

### 5/5 — Worth every penny!

*2013-09-05*

Excellent magazine that presses all the right buttons! New tools and devices for those with the ability to pay the top price and plenty of information for those of us keen to improve the things we make and ideas a plenty. A great buy with something in it fro everyone. Read and enjoy
