User Reviews

Sunset Magazine's Apple app has loyal fans who cherish its nostalgic West Coast content and clean design, but many users report a frustrating digital experience and service failures. Long-time readers value the brand, yet print delivery disruptions, clunky navigation, slow support, and inconsistent access to issues overshadow the otherwise strong content and design.
Pros
  • High-quality, nostalgic Sunset content (food, drink and travel in the West) that readers find relaxing and engaging.
  • Thoughtful, clean app design and readable layout that enhance the reading experience.
  • Strong brand heritage with long-time subscribers who value Sunset's legacy and sense of place.
Cons
  • Print subscription delivery was disrupted during COVID, with missing or delayed print copies.
  • Poor customer service and difficulty canceling/subscribing, with slow or unresponsive support.
  • App usability issues: hard to navigate, not user-friendly on mobile, and frequent problems accessing issues after updates.
  • Unclear availability of the latest issues and inconsistent content access (some issues unavailable).
  • Pricing changes and policy concerns, including premium charges for print and not honoring prepaid subscriptions.

Your quaint article about the Grand Canyon speaks volumes to me, being one who “loves with a passion the Grand Canyon” and to share this fabulous alluring beauty with all my friends and travelers that visit our beautiful state. Thank you for putting to words how magnificent the Grand Canyon truly is. I am hopeful to hike rim to rim and havasupai in coming years.

I had subscribed to Sunset magazine for many years and then stopped for no good reason. Recently I was going through an old file folder and found all these wonderful articles I had torn out and saved over the years. I realized how much I miss reading about all the food, drink and travel in the west and renewed my subscription. Somehow when I read this magazine I just unwind and get lost in the great stories and pictures. Thank you for that.

I paid for a year subscription to both online and hardcopy. They have not mailed me one magazine yet and it’s been 10 months. I have called, and email at least 10 times with no reply. Terrible terrible magazine now Mark Agnello.
