User Reviews

Post-merger reviews are largely negative. The top recurring issues are broken search, loss of saved content and library, a frustrating redesign, removal/degradation of features (downloads, bookmarks, links), and reduced content availability. Users question value for money and report poor support.
Pros
Cons
  • Broken or limited search: search no longer returns results and searching within magazines is not available, undermining the core discovery experience.
  • Loss of library and downloaded content after the company merger/update: users report erased downloads, missing libraries, and difficulty re-downloading or restoring saved magazines.
  • Poor UI/UX and over-engineered redesign: many reviews describe the new app as hard to use, cluttered, or visually unappealing, with pop‑ups and a feel of being overhauled without considering end-user needs.
  • Removal or degradation of features: key capabilities such as automatic downloads, bookmarking articles, and clickable links in magazines are removed or broken, and navigation is less intuitive.
  • Content availability and freshness degraded: Nordic/International titles removed, catalog limited and older content predominates, with few new issues appearing, reducing overall value for subscribers.
Recent reviews
I used to enjoy this app, but since the update and possible new ownership, it’s been terrible. First, my original information in the app has been wiped and reset. Second, I haven’t been able to log in to my correct account since the recent update. Worse, when I ask for help, I receive responses in another language. Third, because I can't access my account, I haven’t used the app at all, yet today I received a bill. Scam central! This new company doesn’t seem to care enough about its customers to even send support information in the right language. BEWARE!!

Where all magazines were automatically downloaded in previous versions, the latest version either doesn’t or doesn’t complete the auto downloads. Disappointing.
