The Oldie magazine

Having had to reset my iPad, I opted to reinstall my apps individually, rather than use the backup, not wanting to reintroduce any fault on the system. This worked on every app except The Oldie. I have now found that by apparently purchasing a subscription directly from The Oldie, it has, though, awoken my Apple subscription - something neither Apple nor The Oldie have been able to tell me! Hence the dropped star!

I love The Oldie and have subscribed to the print edition for years. Due to eyesight deterioration I have changed to digital copy. I access it on my iPad, however I cannot make the page bigger, the print is too small to read, I have to email the page to myself, when I am able to ‘pinch apart’ the page to make the text bigger. Is it me?

There are so many fond and fun memories evoked from a century now passed. Perhaps a penny for your thoughts with pre-decimalisation. A loosening of a stoic ‘stiff upper lip’, and understatement for which we were once famed. The pleasure of a postcard in its rearguard of pen and stamp to the instantaneous Social media. Favourite jokes of Barry Cryer which raise a harmless smile. The warm glow of recollection by a passage well written in a different manner for a different time. One is often enthused to share these passages of the past with those whose comprehension can enjoy their value. Wether with a page of paper, a digital screen or an email newsletter joy is to be had.

Whilst the content of the magazine is superb this app is a dismal failure Sadly i shan’t be resubscribing Frankly could do better !!

The magazine itself is really good but accessing the digital version is painful. As a yearly digital subscriber I find it almost impossible to access anything other than the blog. Why is it so difficult? Avoid the digital subscription option just buy the print version.

I am a subscriber to The Oldie , I find the website is very hard navigate and I am constantly being asked to sign in again and email addresses are not recognised. Very disappointed.

Great magazine.

I paid for 12 month subscription including the offline version and get asked to pay £2.99 but not every month. The magazine is good but it is no good when you are on holiday and you cannot download

I paid for a twelve month subscription but each month since it tells me there is a new issue available but asks for £2.99.

It tells me all I need to know as well as being thoroughly entertaining. Hope Harry Mount keeps up the good work.
