Practical Boat Owner Magazine Reviews

Still waiting for old issues!

sobercounsel1 on

United Kingdom

I have used this app for years because it allows me to keep digital versions of the mags. The latest update has ruined this. All my purchased issues prior to 2020 are lost. The publishers, who updated the app, say speak to Apple. Apple say they can’t troubleshoot a third party app, which seems reasonable. This is very poor customer service from the publishers. Update (Feb 2022) - in Oct 2021 a message on the app said the older issues would be uploaded by the middle of Dec 2021. Still waiting. UPDATE Mar 2022 this message has now disappeared. Until this is done I can’t even have a chance of getting my older issues back. Every time I ask for help, I get much the same “restore purchases” spiel, which is useless. Poor, poor, poor.

Titles keep disappearing

Very convenient way to read a great magazine....

Crashing all the time

Alistair London on

United Kingdom

About a day ago the app started crashing as it loaded - rebooted iPad deleted and reinstalled read a few pages then it crashed again, and again won’t load. Tried app support link on AppStore but that goes to page not found!!!!

Digital edition lags print edition

FromTheHip on

United Kingdom

The app really lets down the first rate content. The June edition was on newstands nearly a week ago but no sign of the digital edition yet. Photographs very blurry on an iPhone. Update: although the July 2018 edition appears in the Issues tab, it's not possible to purchase it. The button label is "Buy issue for" with no price, and the button can't be pressed.

Slow and buggy update

Povl_A on

United Kingdom

Version 6 is really slow on my iPad 3 - especially scrolling through the list of issues. Initially, after "upgrading" I lost access to content I had access to in the previous version (through an iTunes subscription - so Time will not investigate and asked me to take this up with Apple); this has now been fixed. But I still don't plan to renew my subscription.

PBO iosh app

Sheriffr on

United Kingdom

Worse app ever: slow clumsy, can’t access urls through the magazine. Doesn’t update latest issue until all printed copies on sale. It showed March 18 edition now its disappeared Awful app

PBO unsubscribed

Lazy publishers. No active links to articles or even potentially interesting advertisers ! Page size doesn't fit screen. All the time we keep paying for this ... that's exactly what we'll get.
