Terrible App waisted a subscription
Can’t access the magazine because App goes into an eternal queue. No customer assistance available. Huge waste of money and time trying to get it to work. Uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times to no avail. You’d think an App to read a magazine is basics 101, but they managed to get it totally wrong.

A total mess
Like its sister apps, poorly thought out, badly executed and abysmally tested.
Great app but terrible customer service
I subscribed through the magazines direct website and had to email them to get the subscription activated..it took a week. But, if you are subscribed to both Yachting World and Yachting Monthly the account doesn’t seem to allow for both....or it might, but will take you another week to get a response from the customer service team..still waiting...

Can’t read off line
I have have a subscription but despite downloading editions they will not open when off line for no apparent reason. The time I want to read them is when I’m travelling!
Getting better!
Can’t fault the content and general quality of editorial however the app itself whilst improved recently (noticeably more stable than previous) should be better. For example the pages need more interactivity ie access to multi media content and also improved navigation direct from contents page. Whilst it’s been a long haul, The Times has finally got these aspects right in my opinion and might provide a useful template/ additional pointers for improvement to YM.

They've ruined it
I love yachting world and the contents this review is about the software delivery. Since YW have updated the app it does not work. The new version causes the app to hang as it seems to constantly want to connect on line even when I have restored my yearly subscription. I don't know what the problem is but I have sent my comments to the YW team and have not received a reply. I am viewing the app on an earlier device so that may cause issues however the older version worked fine. I am not going to upgrade my iPad just because the app is optimised for newer hardware - YW please fix this.

Issues to sort
Not a good performer with IOS 8 which needs sorting, otherwise a good App.
Yachting Monthly
Very helpful magazine but the App needs some work.
Need to have embedded links to Videos and extra content. Sections which have Web addresses should link directly with one click.
Currently the App seems stuck on an advert page with a link to asking for a review.
Hope I can get back to being able to read my magazine?

Mr
Good App, easy to navigate.
The biggest downside is the amount of junk mail I now get from the yachting sector from signing up with Yachting World. Please stop selling our contact details!

Cracking mag which looks great on my mini and takes up no space in my hand luggage !
Wowser
Great imagery and pretty easy getting about the magazine on my ipad. Getting logged on at first could be better explained, but very impressed when I opened up the issue.
Overpriced
Just a porthole to download and be over charged for their magazine, even the RRP is lower and subscriptions elsewhere can be as low as £36.99 for a year, compared to £59 (RRP £58.35) plus to buy via this app, happy to pay £4.99 each?
Yachting world
Prefer electronic mag to paper. Great photos. Look forward to he next issue.
Great mag
Perfect for reading for reading while I'm on my boat

Absolutely useless I have tried on and off for six months to get this app to work and after considerable contact with IPC absolutely nothing. I have yet to receive a copy. I can't think how a large organisation as IPC can have such a useless product.
Hopeless
As a print subscriber I'm supposed to benefit from electronic copies. After first month these ceased. Impossible to get App to recognise my subscription. As a consequence they will lose a customer at next renewal.
Great magazine
Great magazine and easy to use app
Easy
Very handy to have it all in one place. You can have all the issues you want without the weight of the paper. Great for long passages or whiling away the time at anchor.
Upgrade is terrible
After upgrading to the latest version, all the magazines I downloaded prior to the upgrade had been deleted. The restore function does not work. Could download all magazines without cost again but it took hours. When downloading you need to keep the app open, if you close it it does not continue to download and what you downloaded is lost and has to start from sc ratch again for that particular issue. When your Ipad goes into sleep mode the same story again.
Absolute crap.

Mr
Not an app. Just a route to purchase a copy of the mag.
