User Reviews

Readers praise Country Living UK for its rich content and photography, describing it as a relaxing, enjoyable read and a long-standing favorite. However, the iOS app struggles with serious usability and reliability problems: a non-intuitive navigation, a black-and-white initial screen, and nontraditional page-turning detracting from the experience. Issues with updates and access are widespread, including missing September/October issues and loss of many purchased back issues after upgrades. Some users have had partial success with customer support. Overall, the content is strong, but app reliability and UX require urgent fixes.

Pros

High-quality, well-written content with excellent photography and a broad range of topics (decor, gardening, recipes, culture) that readers consistently praise.
Relaxing, enjoyable reading experience with beautiful presentation that readers look forward to.
Long-standing favorite with valued digital access, allowing readers outside the UK to enjoy Country Living UK.
Occasional positive support experiences that help readers regain access to issues.

Cons

Awkward, non-intuitive navigation and gestures; the app often opens to a black-and-white list instead of the colorful magazine.

Recent reviews

Just had to shift from the kindle version of the digital magazine to the app made by the magazine itself. Baffling that it is this awkward to use when kindle already made a digital interface that is perfect for iPads. Why change it? Downward swipe to go through articles and then right left swipe to turn pages, doesn’t seem to save the page you were on, doesn’t show pictures or blurbs for the articles in the table of contents so it’s hard to navigate. Really unfortunate. All the hearst apps are terrible in this way. Content remains amazing but the app is shockingly bad for the price of the year subscription. Shame on you. Go work on your interface.

Can not zoom in anymore and turning pages back brings you to a black and white list that you have to try and figure out where you were. What is going on?
