User Reviews

The Guitar World Magazine app offers convenient, portable digital access that many fans value and view as a natural companion to print. However, widespread crashes, loss of purchased content, billing glitches, weak support, and intrusive ads are repeatedly reported. Fixing stability, ensuring retention of purchased issues, improving billing reliability, and reducing intrusive promos would significantly improve the user experience for subscribers.
Pros
  • Convenient, portable digital access to Guitar World on iPad, which many users find more practical than the print edition.
  • Long-standing value for subscribers who have used the digital version for years, with digital access seen as a natural companion to print.
  • Digital format is viewed as a no-brainer for GW fans and adds flexibility to reading (access anywhere, on multiple devices).
  • Some users describe the app as helpful or cool, indicating genuine positive utility for reading GW digitally.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes and instability (app crashes, launches then crash, etc.) that prevent reading purchased issues.
  • Loss of purchased or back-issues and disappearing library content, with trouble restoring purchases.
  • Billing/renewal problems, including being charged for next issues despite active subscriptions and promos not functioning as expected.
  • Poor customer support and slow or unhelpful responses, with difficulty contacting help and unresolved issues.
  • Intrusive ads and promotional pop-ups that disrupt the reading experience.

If it’s in print you own what you purchased. Guitar techniques and Total Guitar apps were purchased and can no longer be accessed after publication ceased. Total scam.

Was nice now new issues are not showing up

Subscription is still active but the service wants to charge for the next issue. I canceled my auto renewal. Lots of options for other magazines without continually reloading and recovering. And now that no longer works.
