## Ships Monthly Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***** "Great magazine"
I have read ships monthly for 20 years
-- Twinkletoesman, 2021-11-27

### ***** "Great read"
I am registered blind with some sight , without this magazine being on my I pad I would not be able to read it , great magazine always read it cover to cover very interesting info every month
-- Sgt.mart, 2018-09-26

### *---- "Brilliant magazine – rubbish app"
As the title says – it's a brilliant magazine, and I bought this subscription for my husband. He loves ships, and he loves reading about them, but he gets very annoyed with the app-As previous customers have mentioned – it is incapable of downloading a full issue properly, and also it keeps crashing, mixing images and text up on the page, throwing you on to the home screen again, Or if you double tap to zoom in, you get an irritating advert about military vehicles magazine, which my husband is NOT interested in.
Emails to pocket Mags about this have been a waste of time, as they are not interested.
-- Dellygwinn, 2015-09-30

### *---- "Ships Monthly"
Very poor app. Last two issues have numerous pages which superimpose on themselves making the magazine unreadable. 

Delete/download achieves nothing. 

The app needs a complete overhaul to make it work. As for me I've deleted the app and cancelled my subscription until it is sorted.
-- Mister Blodwyn, 2015-07-07

### ****- "OK - I guess......."
I was a long-standing subscriber of the printed magazine until the cost became so ludicrous. The online version is neat and useful to refer to previous months - and its a lot cheaper than buying it in Smiths or having it posted. There are are just 2 things that annoy me: one is that it is "printed" almost 2 months in advance of the month it says on the front, so if you want up to date news, forget it! The other thing is that it would be nice of them to notify me when a new edition is available; my ipad settings are correct but they never tell me!
-- CaptainMartini, 2014-10-23

### *---- "Waste of time and money"
I really wish I had read reviews before wasting my time on a subscription. This is not a complaint about the excellent magazine; its a complaint about the pathetic app that can't even manage to download an edition without stalling midway. Tried everything - restoring purchases etc etc. my strong recommendation is not to bother with this con of an app.
-- Graftontth1, 2014-01-25

### ****- "Ships monthly"
If you like ships, and you want read about them each month , then this is for you - it's a magazine about ships and it is published each month.

The clue is in the title.

If you want to know about gardening this will be of no use whatsoever!!!
-- lardwarrior1969, 2013-10-30

### ***** "Ship monthly review"
Love it
-- Oddjob96, 2013-07-05

### *---- "App keeps crashing"
I can download magazine and read it on same day. If I try to open it next day, it crashes and I have to delete app, then download it and magazine again. Same every day I want to read it. Useless app.
-- Shipgricer, 2012-12-29

### *---- "SHIPS MONTHLY APP KEEPS CRASHING"
Downloaded last night and downloaded two copies. Tonight I cannot open the app it keeps crashing. Come on sort it out
-- Hotshall, 2012-11-07

### *---- "Crashes"
Same problem keeps crashing 
It was ok before the iOS 6 update. 
It opened up the other day when it did it auto update for new editions. I thought maybe fixed, so purchased new one. 
That's two editions I have been unable to read. 

I hope it's fixed soon.
-- wavehunter82, 2012-10-31

### *---- "Ships monthly"
The ap keeps crashing when I try to open my edition, I cannot report a problem ( keeps crashing ), I cannot unsubscribe...  I can't do anything....
-- Unhappy with ships monthly, 2012-10-12
