2023-05-14	Mr*****	3 stars for woking when I needed it, but....I have been using this app for some time, and since I stopped the subscription, changed to a new phone, I can not access my magazines nor sign into the app. I sent two forms asking for help without any response. Can someone do something or explain what's happening? Is this app even linked to Taunton? Thank you. Edited: I have access to but to a few issues and still can not access most of my already available magazines from before. I'm still waiting...

Hard to use and hard to read.
2021-04-23	Lu*****	Threads looks like a great publication. But after being unable to access anything online I read the reviews. Woe is me. Such a disappointment reading the same complaint over and over. That Taunton offers such wonderful online access but doesn't deliver nor do they respond to customers' inquiries is false advertising at best and a breach of contract at it's worse. Plus, I never see where Taunton replies to poor reviews and offers to correct the faulty app. Not good.
