Hab rausbekommen das man die Zeitschrift in dem Fall löschen und neuladen muss. Blöd wenn das nicht per WiFi gemacht werden kann. Doppelten Traffic halt den man zahlen muss :-( ### 1/5 — Lesson learned *2011-11-20* The mag is probably ok, but the app was a waste of time & money! Oh, had to give it one star just to get my opinion sent. ### 1/5 — Too costly *2011-09-21* Save your money. Stay away. They will keep asking for money ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money. *2011-04-22* Don't waste your money! You buy the app and get 1 magazine, then they want you to pay $4.99 for each magazine you want to see. You can at least preview a magazine in the store before you buy it, but not here. Total waste of money! ### 3/5 — Do not pay for this app! *2011-04-12* The app is simply a tool to buy their magazine. The only reason I rated this a 3 and not a 1 is because the magazine is nice. If the app were free I would rate it a 5. The customer should not have to pay for an app that basically has no content but only enables the purchase of the magazine. One other noteworthy item is that this is a British magazine and all measurements are metric and there are several terms used that require some translation (rebate vs rabbit). The magazine is very well laid out and the descriptions and pictures are very easy to follow. The interface is also very nice. Again, without having to pay for the app this would be a 5. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App not working please make refund *2019-10-19* The app is not working on iPad mini 5. Refund money ### 1/5 — WW crafts very poor c/w original WWPP *2015-08-20* You will not get project plans as shown in pictures but a new woodworking crafts mag. It's now aimed at the beginners market not the intermediate market, the one I subscribed to. Struggling to get my money back or receive what I paid for. I don't like "bait & switch"! ### 1/5 — TOTAL MISLEADING RIPOFF *2013-12-03* It is advertised as a workshop project & technical manual... i got all excited and purchased just to realize it is a magazine subscription. So now i have to purchase additional volumes. Why would i have to purchase an app just to purchase additional magazines. TOTAL RIP OFF ### 1/5 — Crashes!! *2013-02-18* Total waste of money! I have a new iPad, only a week old, and this product crashes EVERY time I try to open a magazine. Please sort it out pronto. Very, very dischuffed customer! I'd like to give this a minus rating if I could! ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2012-12-26* App does not work stuggles to load and then reashes £1.99 completely wasted please sort out ASAP ### 1/5 — Bad *2012-12-18* Crashes. Will not let me download my purchase. How did this get approved by apple???? Don't buy until they fix.. ### 1/5 — Mags don't download *2012-11-28* I paid a lot of money to subscribe to 12 issues of this mag and can not get them. Downloading the latest issue just crashes the app. Fix it or refund my subscription. ### 1/5 — Please sort out the bugs *2012-04-01* A great app...when it works, which is virtually never. Constantly crashes. Please sort out. ### 1/5 — CGP *2012-03-31* This app constantly crashes on iPad 2. After registering with pocket mags I'm unable to access account to access publication on other devices as advertised. This app needs properly sorting. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2012-03-15* Don't spend money on something that don't work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great mag! *2016-07-24* Such a different approach than American woodworking mags. I love it! ### 5/5 — Something's wrong *2015-05-30* This version has more of an downgrade than a upgrade. Response of the app at any action (swipe, drag, click) is really poor. Previous version was really good and useable. Seems that this version was not tested before publishing. I'm waiting for a update, otherwise i won't renew my subscription. Update 30.05.2015: A good advice to get the app working proberly: Delete the app and reinstall it. I hope next update will work without this procedure. ### 5/5 — Good info *2015-03-28* Nice mag with plenty of articles relating to different techniques ### 5/5 — Woodworking plans *2014-07-28* This is a very good in depth well written I mag that is very handy and easy to use and I can carry all my copy's with me on my ipad ### 5/5 — Woodworking *2013-06-05* Very detailed and easy to undertaind! ### 5/5 — Great magazine *2011-05-23* I am a subscriber to a few magazines through apps and this one rates highly by comparison. It presents a good example of the printed magazine, which I can have with me at all times on my iPad. The page turning animation could be simplified, but the zoom function and the navigation system is superb. I'm not sure what the other reviewers are complaining about as this app is like most other magazine apps where you get the app and then make purchases from it. Each issue is $4.99, and to get a big discount buy a subscription, just like the paper version. An issue of the magazine is included with the app purchase of $2.99 so you can try out the magazine, this is a lot cheaper that the gas it would take to get me to the nearest newsstand. This is all explained in the app description and perhaps these people should read stuff before complaining! Woodworking Plans and Projects is very readable, the magazine has superb content and is packed with great projects and techniques. Good job Guys! ### 5/5 — Fabulous app *2011-04-22* A really good and well presented app. Makes other magazine readers look lame. The free plans are ok but would be better if you could print them out on an airprint device. ### 4/5 — Четверку ставлю *2013-11-10* Много рекламы. Иногда прога глючит. Нельзя посмотреть превью страницы, приходится сначала приблизить ее и только потом она загружается вся. Есть журналы данной тематики и лучше. ### 4/5 — Dad *2013-08-10* Very good read ### 4/5 — Good read *2013-07-24* A shame there isn't an option to print the plans --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
