Wood Magazine

The app works on my phone but won’t let me sign in on my iPad. I kinda like to read it on my iPad cause it’s bigger. Was working fine before but keeps stating I’m not a subscriber on the iPad while my Apple Pay subscription is good until September. What gives?

Reading a mag online should be a pleasurable experience. After all, one can scroll, zoom on details, easily flip around to any desired content - well, that’s what one would “like” to do - but not so smooth with this reader. I suppose I’m spoiled with the current PDF readers and how smooth and seamless they work - Wood Magazine is great and the writers are top notch - wish this app was up to par.

This is really a very well designed and easy to use app. The articles look just like the magazine, and this is my favorite magazine for woodworking. It’s focused on sophisticated woodworking but not too advanced. Complaints: linking my subscription was unnecessarily complicated. It didn’t work at first.I reached customer service easily but they abruptly dumped my case and gave me an email for different customer service halfway through resolution. (Have you ever heard of the forward button?) The second leg (Zineo) quickly linked my account. Another complaint, I wish it was easier to search and purchase plans. You can search old issues and buy those, but you can’t buy plans which would be great. I think it’s possible on the website but not here that I can find. Normally these flaws would be a big downgrade, but the content and app is perfect.

Things used to be better, had access to all the issues I bought, but now the app won’t open properly. All it does is sit and spin. I am only able to get it to open by deleting (which deletes all of my local content) and reloading the app from the App Store. I have gotten adept at logging back in which seems to work for a very short time for one issue viewing only which barely downloads. I queue up downloads of previous issues to be able to reference them, but they never download. When I return to the app for later viewing, all it does is sit and spin. Big mistake to switch from print to digital. Very disappointed.

So I download the app, go to set up a login in the app but you can’t, so I went to the website and set up a profile. I go back to the login in the app and it asks for my email and that’s it. I press next and it email or password incorrect. Well no way?!?! There isn’t a place to put the password in the app. Also I subscribe to the 1 year deal but it doesn’t get me access to anything because I can’t login to the app or anything. Please fix!

It looks like this version of the app for Wood magazine is no longer supported. I have an iTunes subscription, but there is no way to get new magazines or restore old ones. No information on where to go next either. Wood Magazine, Zinio and Meredith support have no clue or information either. Yet, they continue to take my money. Complete waste of my time. Avoid this app and get Wood from some other source. Or, read another woodworking magazine. Fine Woodworking and Popular Woodworking magazine apps work fine.

This app quit working months a go lost all my mags

I have reached out several time trying to get app is resolved but no luck, customer certainly doesn’t seem interested in service. This has been going on for months, I was hoping that with time it would be corrected since it seems to be a common problem. Terrible app and terrible “service “.

Like a LOT of people here. Trying to get the access I paid for is very frustrating. I used to like this magazine very much. Tried the fixes from other frustrated reviews to no avail. Little help please.

It won’t let me restore my subscription. I’ve even tried to start a new free trial and it says I am already subscribed but I can’t read any issues. PLEASE HELP!
