However, the app faces widespread criticism for persistent login and access issues, frequent crashes, and poor customer support. Many users report frustration with being unable to view purchased content, especially after updates or subscription changes. Functional limitations such as lack of zoom and interactive features also detract from the experience. While the core magazine content is well-liked, technical and service problems significantly impact user satisfaction.

Persistent login issues, including being repeatedly prompted to sign in despite having an active subscription.
App instability and frequent crashes or freezing, especially when downloading issues or opening content.
Poor customer support with unhelpful or non-responsive service regarding app problems.
Missing essential user features such as zoom functionality, easy content navigation, and the ability to use interactive content like crosswords.

Recent reviews

Since the latest update and having reset my password, as a long-term subscriber I am still being prompted to sign up on either a monthly or annual subscription to view any kind of content. I thought digital access was supposed to be more accessible and convenient. This is incredibly frustrating as your UI seems well laid out in other respects. A great magazine, with great content. If only I was able to access said content :(
