## What Hi-Fi? Reviews in United Kingdom

### **--- "Poor rendering of news articles (free)"
Frequently can’t get to the end of reading an article as it doesn’t render (blank area in news article) … think it may be related to all the adverts it’s trying to display! Have latest iPhone pro.
-- Gary Webb, 2023-07-28

### ****- "It is Working ok now."
The app is working fine now, it just would not work last October 22, today all ok.
-- paul notts, 2022-12-08

### *---- "KEEP WELL AWAY FROM THIS APP!"
Worst app I have ever had the misfortune of installing on my iPad. Unable to log in after 3 months of subscribing. Contacted customer support, got answers to questions I never asked, got lied to on the telephone from customer support, and also, the odd email I get from them repeatedly asks me to describe the problem I’m having. You really are a complete useless bunch of retards at magazines direct!

Contacted credit card with relevant information as I’m paying for a service that isn’t being provided, so want my money back. Just look at the more recent reviews of this app, (something I wish I had done before subscribing.) KEEP WELL AWAY FROM THIS APP!
-- Alavana, 2021-02-15

### *---- "Awful update"
As with other users, I can’t see any previous editions I have paid for and I can’t even use my account to log in to see new additions.
-- Prometeoux, 2019-09-27

### *---- "New app"
Not working for me, can not see old mags or download new ones without paying when I already have a subscription, emailed support but no reply.
-- Gazza11111, 2019-06-28

### *---- "App is broken 😕"
Following the recent update, it is not possible to view any of the editions I have paid for. There is no option to restore purchases. Basically it’s useless. Will now be unsubscribing from the digital edition.
-- teluk, 2019-06-20

### *---- "Useless upgrade"
After updating app all previous titles purchased have disappeared with no option to restore. Please fix!
-- ALedbury, 2019-06-17

### *---- "Apple app broken again"
Yet again, the app has been updated and it breaks my subscription. Will not allow me to restore my subscription as the restore subscription button is over lapped by the privacy policy ??
-- redguppy, 2019-05-01

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
I subscribed to three month digital version through a magazine site. and four days later, despite opening account and several phone calls, I am still unable to access the magazine.
-- Hills64, 2019-01-13

### ***-- "Beware if you subscribe...."
Subscribed to both the print & digital editions. Cancelled my subscription after 2 years.

Worked really well for me and found it easy to read.

Having paid for the digital edition I expected to still be able to access previous issues after cancelling my subscription to future issues.

You lose all access so be aware of this before subscribing.
-- jathjt, 2018-10-18

### *---- "Lazy"
This is a really half-hearted box-ticking exercise. I can’t get it to load the September version I’ve subscribed to. Being able to read a magazine is hardly high tech. Lame.
-- James London SW10, 2018-09-07

### *---- "August 2018"
Been on the newsagents shelves for over a week, but still not available in the App?
-- kbskis, 2018-07-13

### *---- "Latest issue does not show in the store"
Despite announcement on website of the new August issue available, 4 days later it is still not on the App Store
-- Just me & my daughter, 2018-07-08

### *---- "Very Disappointed"
Bought one issue to try out the app and the two page magazine only fills 2/3 of my iPad Pro display, making it hard to read the text.  Double tapping to zoom produces a zoom window 1/2 the size of the display requiring constant panning to read the text and, to cap it all, the app won't scroll past page 99!  Thank goodness I didn't purchase a subscription.
-- DonaldHall, 2017-12-17

### *---- "What Hi Fi S & V Subscriber for 10+ Years"
Search wireless headphones? No results?? Really? OK maybe glitch. So tried headphones? No results… Again? I'm pretty sure the magazine has had numerous reviews & features on the very rare headphones and the endangered version "wireless headphones". Come on WHFSV. Is this best you can do?

Deleted. Back to the www…
-- Big DudeUK, 2017-08-27

### ***-- "Bad to view"
I love the magazine and respect their opinions and have just spent thousands based on them and been very satisfied with their advice.
However the app reads very badly with a section of the screen blank. Very annoying, not a comfortable read. Only good for reference purposes.
-- Reviewweazle, 2016-12-27

### *---- "Update is bad"
I bought the latest and they no longer have a full list and comparison just their top 5. Won't be buying again.
-- RussellLeak, 2016-06-05

### *---- "Magazine won't download"
Just purchased the latest magazine but it fails to download. Waste of time.
-- Gatrow, 2015-05-07

### **--- "Good mag but HOW much????"
£4 per mag, same as the printed version, even though the cost of hosting it on a server must be a tiny fraction of the cost of printing and distributing the physical magazine. Haymarket are having a laugh.
-- MajorFubar69, 2014-05-02

### *---- "Reviews written by the deaf and hard of hearing"
All gloss and no substance whatsoever, it's a shame because What HiFi used to be quite good.
-- audiophilejoe, 2013-12-13
