Deny subscription

Cemeg on

I am having no help from the developer as they deny I have a subscription even though I have sent a copy of the receipt from apple showing I have bought an annual subscription Apple cannot understand what their problem is

Brilliant magazine

jumpingjackcash on

I have this on subscription wonderful articles I recycle by giving it to my Doctor who is a fabulous doctor right on the ball using this wonderful mag. To educate and help patients and Colleagues

No refunds

dirtysouthshaper on

I accidentally paid £45 for a year subscription that I didn’t want. They use a third party support company that have zero control and Apple also refused to refund me. I think the customer service is shocking! This app is not worth the hassle!

Really poor UI, and ads??

tjholowaychuk on

Sorry but the UI is pretty horrible, and once you manage to navigate to the content it’s just some lifeless text, not at all what it could be. Also serving ads to someone who just bought the magazine is pretty ridiculous..

Unusable

ybgvtv on

Simply doesn’t work any more. Constant loading wheel. Waste of purchase. Won’t be renewing

Login?

Ajk Lewis on

Why is the app asking me to login. Why can’t I just look at the issues I have bought

The Big Question Answered

markyb111 on

The answer being how can anyone have the right to change money for an app that is so hopeless and useless. The desire to track data being so strong that it actually blocks the user from accessing the product. If this is where the BBC is going then perhaps it is better to privatize as that way they are commercially measured and on the evidence here it won’t last long. I am sure there will be the normal, we did lots of testing (clearly not) and please contact us with more feedback. Here’s the point it is your product and you don’t care enough to use it.

A real backward step

AndyandMarion on

The old app was much better. The pages jump around when reading. Moving from one page to the next sometimes skips pages. The ‘you may like also’ at the bottom of each page is annoying and not very useful. The only good thing is that I can now sheer the magazine with my wife who was unable to see it via the old app.

Not worth the money - biased reporting

CarlynnaStark on

Obviously biased reporting, Blatantly Biased Corporation in the laps of whichever is the current Government party line. I won’t be paying for this dross. I’m out.

An amazing magazine terribly stripped down

Dj P Liddy on

Very disappointing how limited the amount of articles were. You have to buy each magazine and there is probably a tenth of the articles from the actual magazine. This would be amazing if you just made it an encyclopaedic news feed of all of your articles from day one with hourly features of facts and stories automatically cycled. In fact it would be my favourite app. Instead it harks back to worrying over customers purchases of actual magazines and displays them in a limited and badly laid out pdf, which isn’t reminiscent of the magazines at all. It’s stripped down and in an actual magazine would only take up around 5 pages. Come into the modern age and make people want to pay for this!
