User Reviews

AFAR’s content is praised as beautiful and informative and useful for travel planning. But multiple reviews report serious digital-access problems: print subscribers can’t access digital issues or must pay twice, login and account linking fail, updates erase downloads and block access to purchases, and reading UI lacks zoom with missing pages. Support is described as unhelpful. In short, great content, but the app’s access and UX are severely flawed.
Pros
  • Beautiful, informative AFAR magazine content in the app.
  • Content is useful for travel planning and discovering off-the-beaten-path destinations.
  • The AFAR content is enjoyable to read on the app for some users.
Cons
  • No digital access for print subscribers; many cannot login or must pay twice.
  • App updates delete downloaded issues and block access to previously purchased content.
  • Cannot link or login using existing print subscriptions; digital access is not working.
  • Poor reading experience: no zoom and missing pages in issues.
  • Customer support is unhelpful or unclear about the digital access issues.

I had the Afar app on my old phone and I loved it to reference great, off-the-beaten-path spots when I travel. I used it to plan trips and get input from other users. The new app doesn’t even let you search multiple issues?! I’m mad I paid for the subscription. I have to go issue by issue to research my trip 😫

No way to log in if you have a print subscription and last app update was over a year ago. This should be removed from the App Store honestly.

App update deletes all downloaded issues and then doesn’t allow you to access those issues (even though you’ve already paid for them). It’s so bad that even with a current subscription you can’t access the current issue. Totally insane situation. Unfortunately AFAR customer service is clueless about their own app :-(
