User Reviews

The Prevention iOS app is lauded for high-quality content and a long back-issue archive, with convenient mobile access. However, users repeatedly report crashes, login/subscription access failures, missing/delayed issue delivery, unresponsive support, and restore-purchase problems. These recurring issues far outweigh the positives, indicating a need for more reliable access, better account handling, issue delivery, and responsive customer service.
Pros
  • High-quality magazine content with practical ideas for living better.
  • Access to a long back-issue archive (issues dating back to 2012).
  • Convenient reading on mobile devices and the ability to read anywhere.
  • Digital editions complement the print magazine by expanding access.
Cons
  • App crashes or freezes and slow loading prevent reading.
  • Subscription/login issues prevent unlocking content even when paid (accounts not recognized, errors).
  • Missing or delayed issues and downloads (months not available, download failures).
  • Customer support is often unresponsive or slow to respond.
  • Problems restoring purchases or being prompted to pay again / inability to link subscriptions to Apple News.

The app crashes every time I use it. It takes multiple tries to use a single article. I have to “restore purchase” every time I open app. As a move through a single issue articles only partially load. It is very disappointing.

I just purchased an all access subscription. I log in to the app and nothing happens. It wants me to pay to open the content. The app does not seem to be working.
