User Reviews

Wood Magazine’s content is excellent and the app’s design is solid, but recurring issues with sign-in, restoration, and stability across devices harm the experience. Many reviews cite failed purchases/restores, lost libraries after updates, and inconsistent support. The content and reading experience are strong when it works, and some users eventually get fixes, but reliability and customer service need improvement.

Pros

High-quality woodworking content with top-notch writers.
Well-designed, easy-to-use app interface that mirrors the print magazine.
Account linking/restore can work via support (e.g., Zinio integration helped some users).
Some users report responsive support that resolves access issues.

Cons

Sign-in and subscription restoration across devices frequently fail (e.g., iPhone vs iPad).
App instability: spinning wheels, won’t open, and download failures.
Loss of previously downloaded/purchased issues after updates; library not syncing.
Support is slow or inconsistent in guidance and resolution.
In-app search and purchasing options are limited or cumbersome.

The app works on my phone but won’t let me sign in on my iPad. I kinda like to read it on my iPad cause it’s bigger. Was working fine before but keeps stating I’m not a subscriber on the iPad while my Apple Pay subscription is good until September. What gives?

Reading a mag online should be a pleasurable experience. After all, one can scroll, zoom on details, easily flip around to any desired content - well, that’s what one would “like” to do - but not so smooth with this reader. I suppose I’m spoiled with the current PDF readers and how smooth and seamless they work - Wood Magazine is great and the writers are top notch - wish this app was up to par.

This is really a very well designed and easy to use app. The articles look just like the magazine, and this is my favorite magazine for woodworking. It’s focused on sophisticated woodworking but not too advanced. Complaints: linking my subscription was unnecessarily complicated. It didn’t work at first.I reached customer service easily but they abruptly dumped my case and gave me an email for different customer service halfway through resolution. (Have you ever heard of the forward button?) The second leg (Zineo) quickly linked my account. Another complaint, I wish it was easier to search and purchase plans. You can search old issues and buy those, but you can’t buy plans which would be great. I think it’s possible on the website but not here that I can find. Normally these flaws would be a big downgrade, but the content and app is perfect.
