## HistoryExtra Magazine Reviews in United States

### *---- "Older issues aren’t accessible even after paying"
I paid to unlock call the past episodes, and the in-app payment went through, but I still can’t access the back issues. The individual issues still show they can be purchased for $6.99, despite paying to unlock them all.
-- John J 222, 2023-03-18

### *---- "Captions"
Captions DO NOT work on this app When you click on “i’” nothing happens After 6 months of this, I’m shutting it down Their other publications work This one doesnt
-- tom bafry, 2022-11-20

### *---- "I just cannot log in!"
The page is blank when I click the Log In button. What’s happened?
-- 京北孩子王, 2022-06-17

### ***** "Informed"
Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat past mistakes! Illuminating and profound delivery of history! Thank you!
-- Hanswine, 2022-05-23

### *---- "Great magazine, horrible app, bad customer service"
As with many others, the app won’t recognize my digital subscription. I’ve spent several hours on the phone, exchanged many emails, but no one has any idea how to fix this problem. Too bad, I’ve really enjoyed the content when I’ve seen the paper magazine but they obviously don’t care about their digital subscribers.

UPdate:  If I could give 0 stars I would.  Continued bad service. Buy the magazine in paper or don’t buy it at all.
-- apsdojf, 2022-03-29

### ***** "Always great reading!"
Even if you aren’t interested in History, this digital and print magazine is endlessly fascinating. Well written by experts (with impressive qualifications) but still so accessible.  Era hopping from mythology to present day and everything in between, this publication has turned out to be a great favorite. So glad I subscribed. Don’t miss the (occasionally quirky) readers’ letters. Think I will gift this to my 11 year old grandson, knowing the whole family will enjoy it.
-- ThamesA, 2022-01-15

### ***** "Love this magazine"
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
-- lizmeister7, 2021-05-16

### *---- "App crashes"
I like the content, when I can see it. It very frequently freezes up or doesn’t load on my IPad or iPhone. Really poor app in terms of functioning - I’m on the verge of deleting it.
-- Mcrstrz, 2021-05-07

### ***** "BBC history"
Great magazine-love the variety- every month is full of fascinating articles!
-- felixsmom, 2021-02-17

### ***-- "Returning to Print"
Great magazine, unfortunately this app is disappointing. Articles won’t load, then they show up on Apple News feed? Some of the best features of the magazine were the crossword puzzles and quizzes; unavailable on app. Very slow response to inquiries.
-- # 1 travel, 2021-01-22

### *---- "Will not open"
The app crashes every time I try to open since the last update.  What is going on?
-- Lsmithlib, 2020-12-13

### ***** "History in the Time of COVID"
During this time of isolation and distancing, I find reading articles about history a very rewarding activity. I highly recommend this journal.
-- Mailleignie, 2020-12-01

### **--- "Great Read.  Terrible App"
Not sure what the heck it’s doing but it’s slow, slow, slow.  Sometimes features/articles come up; sometimes not.
-- Kkirks1414, 2020-10-02

### ***** "Lifelong learning"
This magazine has so much interesting information.  I enjoy it more than anything else in print.  I have always loved history.  Learning something new from every issue of BBC History is great.
-- Past Look, 2020-03-23

### *---- "Impossible to download magazine,"
Since November of 2019, it is impossible to download the magazines I have paid for!  I have deleted and reloaded the app so many times that I have lost count, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS APP?
-- Buggy's Nana, 2020-02-24

### *---- "Doesn’t recognize my subscription"
I love the magazine and the app works fine for the most part.  However, I have automatic renewal and it will not download the issues for 2020.  It wants me to buy them, but when I click that, I get the message that I’m not up for renewal until Sept 2020.  I’ve clicked “restore purchases” on both my iPhone and iPad and it’s still not recognizing my subscription purchased through the app.  It downloaded the new Collector's Edition of Elizabethan Era, but not the regular editions of the history magazine.  Please give me the magazines I’m paying for.  I gave you a lot of money for all the back issues too.  Actually, my iPad issues ended with July 2019, so you owe me more back issues for that
-- margew, 2020-01-24

### *---- "Crap app."
Bought the analog and digital subscription. Cannot log in to my account on my phone or iPad. Get error message saying “login unsuccessful.” Wrote twice to customer “service” requesting assistance. No reply.  Sure hope the paper copy arrives and that there is actual printing on the page.
-- Waste my time why don't you, 2019-11-22

### ***** "I love history"
This magazine is a wonder source of information about England and its 
history.
-- Betssteu, 2019-10-22

### ***** "Great History Magazine"
I love history; this is an amazing magazine to read. I read about the past in pieces, later I connect the dots. 👨‍⚕️
-- Chess-for-ever, 2019-10-18

### **--- "Great app — when it works."
Unfortunately there are lots of glitches in the app. Periodically, it simply shuts down when I try to read one of my issues. I’ve had to delete the app and reinstall numerous times which means I have to download issues again and again. I’d give it five stars if it wasn’t for that.
-- RMNPLover, 2019-10-07
