## BBC Music Magazine Reviews in Vereinigtes Königreich

### *---- "Pity you can’t give minus scores!"
I’m not a regular subscriber to the magazine but have used the app to download the magazine when the mood takes me. Last time was less than a year ago and the app worked perfectly.
     Downloaded the October issue and paid £6.99.
Utter waste of time and money. Pages don’t load properly, pages don’t turn when swiped, crashes, in short utterly useless.
      This appears to be a case of trying to fix something that was never broken in the first place and ending up with an app that is unusable.
Uninstalled and switching to another classical music mag.
Hope the Beeb are happy about losing revenue due to this truly appalling app.
-- Nails53, 2022-09-22

### *---- "New(ish) format is awful"
I just can’t put up with this any more. I much prefer the “magazine experience” way of reading any magazine (others I subscribe to continue to provide that alongside the newer format). 

The ‘web’ like format might actually be bearable if it actually worked properly. I have a relatively new (2020) iPad Pro which I use to read 4 or 5 different magazines - only the BBC Music Magazine has such a flaky interface. Unable to scroll down some pages, skipping to next page for no good reason, doesn’t remember where in the magazine I have got to. 

I’m sorry but unless there is a significant improvement (and a return to the magazine format) my subscription will be cancelled.
-- paulgarb, 2022-06-07

### *---- "Loss of Digitised Print Version Disaapointing"
It’s a great shame that this new version of the app gives a clunky web-style version of the magazine rather than a digitised print version.  It’s not an enjoyable experience at all.  An outstanding magazine but this app really lets the world-class content down.
-- MichaelAndrews89, 2022-05-18

### *---- "New format"
I really don’t like it at all. I find it very hard to navigate through it, and it’s nothing like reading the magazine. If I could go back to the old format, I would do so immediately.
-- Century House, 2022-03-16

### *---- "A shocking mess"
I wanted to be fair before I cancelled my subscription as I gave loved the magazine on my IPad. So I looked at the ‘new’ redesigned version again. It’s truly ugly and a shocker. It looks like it was put together on an old Amstrad. How could someone have let this happen?
-- Notaprudebut, 2022-03-03

### **--- "Unhappy with the new format"
As others have mentioned, the changes indeed really ruin the user experience. I recently switched to a digital sub and I’m disappointed that reading the issues feels much like scrolling through a clunky website. The app before wasn’t perfect, but I’m sure most readers would prefer a user experience similar to reading the physical magazine, as it used to be pre-change. Please consider reverting back to the more readable older version.
-- Mvykfkyf, 2022-02-18

### **--- "Change not good"
The latest update is poor in comparison to the previous version of the application: the interface provides more a series of individual and rather ‘clunky’ website-like pages rather than the excellent electronic but genuine magazine feel previously experienced.

As with the previous version of the app., the so-called ‘Cover CD’ is a misnomer as playback does not provide a CD experience: the tracks do not play one-after-the-other, as per a CD, they each need starting separately; and playback stops when the iPad goes into screen saver mode or if one accesses another page in the magazine.

Correcting this issue is, technically, simple to achieve.

I’ve noticed that the August 2021 and earlier editions in my library do, indeed, display in the previous and much better magazine format but, the so-called ‘Cover CD’ has disappeared from each of these earlier editions. This is a serious problem as all these ‘Cover CDs’ are supposedly included as part of my subscription payment and, therefore, should remain accessible contractually.

-- mnbvcxLJK, 2022-02-15

### *---- "Very disappointed to lose Magazine copy"
I’m afraid the loss of magazine design turns this from a pleasurable coherent read into nothing better than consulting one of many music websites.  The essential essence of the magazine is lost.  Similarly the presentation of the cover discs is now just the sort of random streaming you can do anywhere rather than a magazine article with associated content.  There is nothing left now to justify a subscription. N
-- David Sw, 2022-02-09

### ***** "Content very good"
Second update: All ok, new version delivered and working. Interface is quite different, more like a tabled edition and not a copy of the magazine, but good all the same. Back to 5 stars.

Update: February 2022. No digital magazine available? Last one delivered in December and I am fully subscribed. Zero help from anyone for the past 2 weeks, will reduce to 3 stars and put back up when I get a full response. A full cd worth or music is also in the digital app so it works out well worth the monthly sub, and saves on the paper No need anymore to buy the printed version.
-- embed-lidy, 2022-02-07

### **--- "Very disappointing"
No links to music app like Gramophone Magazine, can’t copy text to paste into Apple Music.
-- grwilson, 2022-02-07

### *---- "Utter rubbish"
Cannot download issues cannot get support utter crap. Not run by BBC and constantly directly to Apple for any support question. Sadly have to rate this one star because it won’t let me rate it no stars pathetic
-- Pogerton, 2020-10-19

### *---- "The BBC Music Magazine app has no accessibility at all"
I am registered blind, and use the iPhone large fonts feature, dark mode and zoom features to make the iPhone accessible.  The app is has virtually no accessibility at all.  It doesn’t use dark mode.  There is no text reading mode.  The zoom capability for the articles in the magazine is not good.  While it is possible to zoom in to articles, this only goes so far, it is necessary to use the native zoom capability go go further, but the result is still quite small, but manageable.  Note that sometimes when using this method, the screen goes blank and it is necessary to go back to no zoom, and get the page back to normal and start again.

The real problem is with voiceover.   There is virtually no voiceover support while reading, the only voiceover capability is the page turn slider, however if you use it, the pages don’t reader at all, and all you get is a blank screen.

The app doesn’t use the iPhone large fonts feature at all.

I think this is the worst magazine reading experience I have had on any device.
-- Declan Moriarty, 2020-08-22

### *---- "Download problem"
I tried the free trial period, and managed to download the first edition (which was great), but for the next one available couldn’t get past 0% downloaded (despite leaving it overnight). The ap support is via a survey monkey form which doesn’t work - fields don’t accept any input.
-- JaWiBu, 2019-12-03

### *---- "You know something is bad when......"
.....the latest issue requires an update to the app and it offers to redirect you to a place where no update is available. I’ll thought-through, rookie error. The magazine is so-so with the reviews section increasingly crowded out by ‘popular’ twaddle.
-- Baxtintagel, 2019-08-07

### ***** "Scots appreciation"
I have been a reader/listener since the magazine has been produced.A great magazine,great cd,s,keeps me enthralled for hours,a monthly highlight
Only one small criticism,could we have some extra special editions that we used to have in the past
Regards
A.Davidson
-- scots appreciation, 2019-06-16

### ***-- "Great magazine, but..."
Thoroughly recommend the magazine for all the printed material. However, the lack of ability to play all the music from start to finish (one has to access each track separately) is a real bugbear, particularly for people like me who like to listen in the car. Am seriously considering returning to the print version because of this.
-- BoogieRich, 2017-11-30

### ***** "FOR THE MUSIC CONNOISSEURS AND AFFICIONADOS"
General effort on the layout and quirky pop-up articles are distributed in this e-magazine for the music lovers like myself. I enjoyed also the 3 months free subscription trial offer
-- Affinad0, 2017-06-30

### ***-- "Content excellent, delivery poor"
Title says it all really! The content is what it has always been - excellent. However, the app is disappointing. It works most of the time on my iPad but is erratic on older ones. The music, that is a proper CD with the printed magazine, is pathetic; seems low quality and will not play tracks automatically. You have play each one independently, one at a time! Why not provide a link to download them all?
-- Lordspace, 2016-12-30

### *---- "I&#039;m rating this 1"
Nativex, once again, has failed to give my free platinum. They owe me more than 500 now. Scamming parasites.
-- Triggerrrrr, 2016-12-22

### ***** "Worth it for the reviews"
If nothing else, this is worth it for the reviews, covering a wide range of periods, composers and styles.

If not every feature engages, this is where I turn without fail, and it almost always inspires new additions to my own music library, including music and composers that is quite new to me.
-- Miss Ample, 2016-11-22
