## Make Reviews in United States

### ***** "Make digital mag"
Gets me the top quality content immediately but oh I love the print version
-- Maker happy, 2024-12-11

### *---- "I’d give your app 0 if possible"
So I should have taken head to others reviews but was optimistic.  Also maybe under your help settings add where we can contact customer support…… just a thought
-- Jaydeemusic, 2024-09-24

### *---- "Remains Horrible"
Just finished reading the most recent paper issue and decided to try and access my account and my issues purchased through I Tunes by reloading the app. Abruptly reminded of how bad the app is. Sad, really, for a tech savvy  publication .
-- Sups56, 2024-05-26

### ***** "It’s good now!"
I didn’t have the app when these 1 star reviews were posted but I can say the experience for me is great. Easy to navigate and tons and tons of archived issues and articles. Love ‘Make’ and am so happy to have access to this app.
-- Will*G, 2023-12-30

### *---- "Can’t login"
Very annoying to get invalid login on iPad but the same login works on android phone. Why pay extra for digital?
-- pinion, 2023-03-02

### *---- "why didn’t I heed the others bad reviews?"
Terrible app. Unable to log in. They got my money. No access. No password, no log in, NO ACCESS

Terrible experience. I plan to charge back if they don’t supply me with a log in password within 12 hours from now.
-- soundrel, 2022-11-22

### *---- "Reviews of this app go back only 2 years"
I want to subscribe to digital but you only have reviews of your app going back 2 years. Those reviews are universally terrible.

But you most recent update is 7 months ago.

How is that possible? How is anyone to know your subscription is worth $35?

And if have been burned before by generic apps made by cheap designers who sell it to publishers who don’t know they got what they paid for; a buggy app locked into a feature set you can’t change and poor technical support.

The publisher gets screwed but ultimately the subscribers do with a poor quality app.

Which brings me back why you haven’t allowed reviews in 2 years.

I guess I will have to go elsewhere to find subscribers who can tell me if your app is worth your subscription.
 

1 star for zero transparency
-- BaltimoreDave, 2022-11-19

### *---- "App is TERRIBLE"
The app takes forever to load when it does load.
90 % of the time it does not recognize my subscription.
It is practically unusable. I gave it one star because negative stars are not available.
-- kyboyaway, 2020-09-10

### *---- "Can’t even login"
App is now completely useless. Logging in on the computer for digital is fine, but not via the app.
-- BrianArsenault, 2020-06-16

### *---- "New update prevents ITunes users from using"
I have called Make and they say call apple.  I call apple and they confirm problem is on Make App side.  Make customer service is horrible. Make magazine has good content but not worth my time.
-- Camera_Guy, 2020-01-10

### *---- "Update makes it even worse than before"
On iPad Air 2 iOS 13.3, after this new update the app runs sluggish as hell! Also I can no longer read any of my past purchases. There’s no option to restore past purchases, and the UI is confusing and not intuitive even if it was running smoothly, basically make deleted all my purchases and now wants me to pay for them again if I want to view them
-- Nicnameisretardedrequirement, 2020-01-08

### ***** "Vastly improved app. Works great so far."
I was literally in the process of writing a 1 Star review and getting ready to cancel my subscription, but when I opened the App Store I noticed that (finally) there was an update to the Make reader application just 15 hours old. I’m not kidding. The old app was terrible. I had just opened the old app and it took over 2 MINUTES to “Verify my subscription” — during which time I couldn’t even read issues I had already downloaded. Talk about a terrible end-user experience. After two years without an update, I had given up hope that the situation would ever be fixed.

But I’m extremely happy to be proven wrong. The new app is like night and day. Reading and navigation on the old app was alway pretty decent (after the interminable opening wait time) and the new app retains some similar functionality but is even better. You can still read in the traditional “magazine” layout style or you can now read with a more free form “web style” interface. Most importantly, it is FAST. No long opening delay, and you don’t even have to download your issue before you can start reading. You still can download purchased issues if desired (which I’m guessing is for access even when not connected to the internet) but there seems to be no requirement to do so. 

Anyhow, I’m (finally) a happy camper. I’ve always enjoyed the “Make” content and I really wanted to support the whole ethos and ecosystem, but it was becoming increasingly difficult to ignore such bad design and apparent indifference to the customer. Now, I no longer have to.
-- ToolGuy, 2019-12-13

### ***** "Works fine."
Got this App to read Make: on my phone.
Able to log-in to my account.
App works fine.
-- SASchaffer, 2019-10-30

### *---- "Complete ripoff"
I love Make Magazine, but his app should be taken off the market. I cannot access any of the issues I have paid for with my subscription. The app just hangs and hangs, on both iPhone and iPad. Just shameful.
-- OscS, 2019-10-10

### *---- "App is super slow / buggy"
I can’t believe such a nice magazine doesn’t have a decent app. I’ve experienced issues recognizing hat I’m a subscriber on many occasions. Forget about downloading a magazine before boarding a plane. Takes forever to download an issue.
-- Mafafa 1, 2019-03-19

### ***** "Works Fine"
No issues with this app.  Been using it since 2017 on a LTE iPad Pro.
-- Thasshole, 2019-02-26

### *---- "Content great, app awful"
Startup is frustratingly, go get a cup of coffee down the block, slow. Navigation is really not much better than scrolling a PDF and the most endearing feature is the search function which does not allow you to actually follow a link to the entries found, but gives you a thumbnail of the page, but no way to launch to that page. Has anyone on the management or marketing team ever read their magazine using this app?
-- quasimodality, 2019-01-12

### *---- "Apple says I’ve paid- the app doesn’t"
No clue what to do, nothing in the app seems to address it. Uninstalled, reinstalled, tried to resubscribe, nothing... sad.
-- whateverBH&amp;^TGHJ, 2018-08-10

### *---- "DO NOT FALl FOR THIS !"
Read all of the reviews claiming that subscription does not work, and BELIEVE them!  I just fell for it, and am currently out $24 for an “annual” subscription to, apparently, nothing.
-- Littlerockjim, 2018-06-09

### *---- "Garbage App"
Wish I would have read the reviews. Garbage app. Bought an issue and it only will download the Cover and IFC. Multiple Reinstalls fails to fix.
-- Namaste_lv, 2018-01-24
