## Review summary

User reviews consistently praise Make: content and archives, but the app is plagued by subscription/login and performance issues. Some improvements post-update, but widespread access problems, slow loads, and weak support dominate. Content is strong when accessible, but reliability and ongoing development are major concerns.

### Pros

- Extensive archive and easy access to past Make: issues and articles.
- High-quality Make: content and material available in the app.
- Recent updates dramatically improved performance and reading experience (no mandatory pre-download).
- Flexible reading formats: traditional magazine layout or web-style interface.
- Mobile-friendly reading and access on phones.

### Cons

- Persistent subscription/login failures and inability to access purchased content across devices.
- Poor performance: slow startup, freezing, stalls, crashes, and unreliable loading.
- In-app purchase/renewal problems leading to locked-out content or failed access to subscriptions.
- Poor customer support and lack of timely responses.
- App appears outdated with long gaps between official updates.
