Opens World Of Reading. Wonderful daily dose of information. I read and enjoy magazines I did not know about or would never purchase individually.

Works, with problems. I seem to be able to read my magazine, so that is nice. I really think that I should also be able to print a page and cannot. If I had a paper magazine, I could make a photocopy. That would be fair use, and legal. Likewise, I should have the ability to copy text and cannot. Again that would not only be fair use and legal, but is expected behavior for all apps. Finally, some of the pages seem to be out of order. Oh, also, even after I have paid for a subscription, if I want to have the app notify me of new issues, the developer requires me to give them an email address. My other apps are able to notify me without collecting an email address.

Great way to have mags at finger tips. I travel a lot for biz, so it’s nice to have my favorite magazines at my finger tips during long flights. No problems with functionality and I have gotten good support in the rare case of problems. All in all, I’m happy with the app!

Digital changed it all. Getting magazines in the mail was wonderful but it is a new day. I love all these issues at my fingertip with this app. Simply wonderful!

Needs work. The reading experience is good, but the front end is terrible. No matter what issue I tap in my “My Latest Issues” it takes me a folder for the publication with the west on top instead of the actual magazine I tapped. Nearly every time I open a magazine the app crashes. There’s no way to download more than one issue at a time, the only way to trigger a download is to open a magazine and each time you return to the folder containing the magazines it takes you back to the top so you are constantly scrolling down to get older editions. A feature I do like is Article View which allows you to read the articles without any formatting. There’s also an option for the app to read the article aloud but it uses the most robotic voice imaginable. This app needs some professional help.

If I could rate it a zero stars I would.. If I could rate it a zero stars I would. I’ve been trying to access a single magazine for 5 days, and I’m getting nowhere with the company. I wasn’t allowed to register without getting a free magazine. I didn’t want any of the free/complimentary magazines, but the site wouldn’t let me proceed without choosing one. In addition, when I bought my singe issue decor magazine, I found out after the fact that I can ONLY view it in Pocketmags.

Love this app. Love this app as it allows access to magazines that are hard to find on other electronic readers. One photo magazine from the UK I became a big fan of on another platform, was discontinued on that platform. I was able to find it on this app and at a cheaper rate. With the subscription I purchased, I also gain access to other publications that are hard to find, at the price of the single subscription I was paying on my other reader.

One stop for all my best magazines!. What appeals to me personally about Pocketmags is having one location to go to check on any new editions available for download on my subscriptions. It’s nice to have individual apps that support their individual magazine as well. It’s nice having an interface that allows me to see all my favorite subscriptions at a glance, observe any new editions I may have somehow missed the notification of their coming available, then immediately download it into my personal library. Later, it can be accessed by my Pocketmags app, or by the particular magazines app. seamlessly. Navigation and search is intuitive in nature which enriched my experience as a subscriber. Navigation, utilizing the digital version of my magazines is nicely interactive as well. This allows a more immersive reading experience. All around it’s a decent app. I hope you find it as useful and dare I say as entertaining as I do! Happy reading! - Danny Kunz - Kunz Kustoms -

Very Slow Magazine Download. This app is nearly worthless, making a subscription to magazines through this company also worthless! Even using my 600 Mbs network connection, my subscribed magazine pages download so slowly that even overnight they have not downloaded and so are not accessible. I do NOT recommend this app or magazine subscription from this company!

No more running around to read my fav magazines!. The app is convenient, simple to use. Reading my magazines on the app allows me more times to read more articles, during short work breaks, or while waiting in my parked car. Times the printed magazines are piled on my den’s shelf.

Poor navigation, difficult to use. I'm trying to like this app, but on a mac laptop, the navigation is quite poor. I've purchased a number of magazines, so I must use it, which is frustrating. I'd so much prefer to be able to have the mags as pdf's.

PocketMags App Is Great!. The PocketMags app is a great and inexpensive way to read the digital versions of your favorite magazines. As a music fan, I find it a convenient way to read the digital copies of Uncut, Mojo and Vintage Rock magazine. Highly recommended.

Love this app!. This app has worked smoothly from day one! I absolutely love have my favorite magazines to read whenever I want. And being on my phone or tablet…I’ve saved a tree! Keep up the great job!

Wood turning. I really like the magazine about wood turning I used to get the other magazine before they went out of business now this the only one I get the digital copy about 2 months before the paper copy is at the news stand there is so much information and a lot of projects I like to try

Excellent app for digital subscriptions. I love this app to maintain and read my magazines subscriptions. I have never had a single issue with this app in any of my four monthly magazines subscriptions. I like the fact that you can see one or two pages at the same time. Easy to zoom on the pages when you need it.

Great feature for sharing. I haven’t seen this feature anywhere else. If there are multiple articles on a page the app allows you to isolate and share a specific article without having to send the full page. Ingenious

True crime buff...... Amazing app with great digital mag prices. I love this app although sometimes it crashes on me. I hope this kink can be resolved by next month.

Like it but needs a fix. Overall the app is very good. Easy to navigate and works well. I do find that it crashes mid magazine more often then before. I have archived my mags but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. When I reopen the app it goes back to where it crashed, it’s just annoying to have to restart it often. If this were fixed I would give it five stars.

Great across platforms. Good variety and pricing. I would highly recommend if you want your reading available at all times.

Wonderful app. I am very happy with the efficiency and the selection of the app. Only once there was a mistake on my renewal date but then it was corrected.

Right now, 1 star is too many - yesterday it would have been 5. The Pocketmags Plus app has stopped working. I’ve been a subscriber for years, with no serious problems. But when I tried to go on yesterday, it announced I had no magazines available. I think I have 30 “favorite”d Thinking maybe it was an internet glitch, I let it be and tried again today. Had the same problem on all my devices (although everything works on my computer - shame thats not at all portable!). I reinstalled the app, and that seems to have made things worse. - the Plus page been stuck on a “loading” screen for hours. Plus, before I could at least access the magazine I was in the middle of reading. Now that’s gone as well. I emailed customer service but received what was clearly an old automatic reply saying replies were delayed by “the holiday period.” Labor Day was days ago… I wonder which one they mean? 72 hours seems to be the minimum wait for assistance - so that’s at least three days out of the latest month I paid for.

Never again. This is the worst app. I can never read my magazines without hunting over and over. It always tells me I have no magazines when I have four. I want my money back and as much as I love simply knitting I won't buy anymore as long as they see fit to take my money and torture me with this app. I'd rather have a PDF.

Like it overall. I wish they could add in a search feature for key words. If I know what story and not sure where it is if I run a search it would make it easier to use.

Great way to find what I want when I need it.. Love that I can go here to look at all my magazines and find what I want when I have time to read it or need a reference.

Scorned Lover. I loved this app but now I’m just frustrated. I downloaded the app and created an account on my iPhone. The username/password were saved on my phone and I’ve successfully purchased/subscribed to several magazines without an issue. Now, when I want to buy a magazine through their website vs. the app (because it’s cheaper), I’m told I don’t have an account with Pocketmags. I created an account through the website .. but now it doesn’t sync with my Pocketmags app. I’ve gone round and round via email trying to get this figured out and gotten no where. I don’t understand why there isn’t a phone number to call and speak with someone in person instead of waiting a day for each response. Sincerely, Frustrated.

Bugs with bookmarks in landscape mode. If you bookmark with the app in landscape mode (2 pages onscreen), the bookmarks get set to some page number greater than the number in an issue. Needless to say the bookmark doesn't work. If you bookmark in portrait mode it works as expected. Believe this was introduced in a (semi)recent update. As the "contact us" link in app is also bugged out, leaving this as a review.

New updates letting you down. I have subscribed to PocketMags+ for years, I really enjoy the app, and the new updates. That being said, in the last few weeks, Tech has let you down. They removed the “trash can” in the “manage download” section, making it impossible to removed magazines as you read them. Please reinstall this function. Three days ago the update made it impossible to download certain magazines. I enjoy the LCBO magazine from Canada, which you offer free on the app. The new 2023 Winter edition of this magazine will not download.

Super. I love this app. I read several mags regularly with this and love the way I can get around. One thing that would be nice would be a way of bookmarking an article and storing the bookmarks in a separate file so I could search for selected articles from a series of mags, not just the one I have open.

No longer works on M1 iPad Pro. App worked great on my older iPad Pro 11”, but now that I’ve upgraded to a new M1 iPad Pro, I can’t get the app to open at all, it just crashes immediately upon launch. I’m going to have to cancel my open subscription because it becomes useless if I can’t actually use what I’m buying. Will reconsider if this gets fixed, but for now, it’s 1 star.

Huge improvements made. The last series of updates, fixed the crashing issue that I had for ages, and finally a bulk download feature is available. Cannot ask for more. Well done Pocketmags. I really enjoy using this app again.

Good but crashes. Great app but initially it crashed a lot. I had to read my mags through a browser. Looks like they are planning on making some improvements, so looking forward to that

I like paper magazines, but this is a great alternative. Im finding it more difficult to find magazines at the store. This site has more options, that i didnt know about, on the hobbies i am interested in.

What a discovery!. I recently discovered Pocket Mags. I was looking for magazines to read on my kindle and found this app. It’s fantastic! Very easy to navigate and I love having my magazines at the touch of a finger. No more stacks of magazines!

Magazine Heaven. Great selection of magazines! I would rather have a magazine in hand to read, but our inept postal system can’t deliver them without magazines being torn up and damaged! 😡 I haven’t had any issues with the app so far.

Love it. I love having all of my magazines in one place. It makes them easy to read when I’m at the doctors office or other places.

Love this app. There are several British magazines that I really love but cannot easily buy in the US. “Olive” is my favorite cooking magazine and I love that I can read it here. There are several other magazines I can only get here. I subscribe to a few and a few others I buy issue by issue, depending on content.

Great access at my fingertips anywhere and anytime,. Nice to have my favorite magazine on my IPad. Great to enlarge what I’m reading and access when I have time be at home or on the go.

All my fave’s in one place. For me it’s the convenience of having all my favorite mags in one place! There’s no oh shoot I left it at home and I can bring them ALL with me without worrying about carrying the weight.

It works very well. Recommended. All issues are arriving on time and easy to read.

Enjoy reading magazines from other countries. This is a smooth an easy way to consume magazine content from around the world.

Great app and even better value!. The title says it all. Great app and even better value!I don’t have to have a bunch of magazines around the house and can take them all with me anytime. A++

Pocket Mags, a great on the go magazine App. This is an amazing app. Especially for someone like me who uses this app on a daily basis to keep myself up to date on the prices of and latest information about one of my great passions, sports cards and collectibles. The app allows me to check on pricing for my baseball card purchases before I make the purchase with the peace of mind I am paying a fair price by using the prices in Beckett Baseball Card Monthly. I love the app and would recommend it to anyone with a sports card collection if only to see what a fair market value could be on one’s entire collection.

Can’t restore purchases… STILL. Here it is a month later and I still cannot restore a purchase on my iPad that was made on my iPhone. This is definitely a SCAM that will be reported to Apple. —— Error. Error. Error… I’ve tried this on two other devices, both of which give errors. This is starting to look like a scam to get you to create an account. I purchased as a guest directly through the app and should be able to restore purchases like every other in-app purchase.

Love / Hate. Love the magazines. Hate that they “disappear” after I look at them - I mostly buy pattern magazines and frequently reference them. Hate that I can’t print the patterns from magazines so I don’t have to constantly pull them up to review and I can’t mark off items as I complete them. Thank you for such a convenient source for so many crafts.

Great app. I like this because I do not haveto go to a bookstore and hope that it carries the magazine. I had problems with that in the past. Once I figured out how to move pages, etc. it is great!

Great but…. Don’t get me wrong, having a digital version of my favorite guitar magazines is fantastic… I don’t have anywhere to store hard copies. Taking a star off because the reader experience could be improved- for example if I want to download and print a guitar lesson I can only 2 two pages at a time- it’s a lot of work and wasted time I just can’t afford. Let me chose a range of pages— come on now!

Pocketmags - love this app. I’ve used this app to purchase and view a number of magazines that weren't even available by other means and have been very happy with its pricing and interface. It’s my go to for back issues of my favorite mags and works great on iPads, even older models.

Great app for mobile browsing. There’s not really more that I would want out this app. You can read your magazine as formatted by the publisher, or in a special mobile friendly article view; these views are easy to switch between. It makes the magazines easily accessible in a mobile format.

Pocket mags BRM. Been enjoying this app for a number of years now and it’s been enjoyable and easy to use. The latest usage has been reading the digital version of BRITISH RAILWAY MAGAZINE on my tablet and it has worked flawlessly.

Works again as it should. I reported a bug which led to the app crashing yesterday and today a new release has been posted. That’s excellent customers’ servcice. Thank you very much!

Used for years. Great app for digital magazines

Waiting forever. My magazine has been on the shelf for two weeks now and still hasn't come available on this app. This happens every month. I would be better off buying it at the newsagency

All good. No problems yet

Update FAILURE. What once was a good app has failed catastrophicaly, I am forced to RE download EVERY issue again! That's could be understandable, BUT the new app fails to download issues, so much so, that after 5 days I still had no issues to read. Now, in week 2 still I can't get at my subscriptions, and their customer support say that maybe in a month they might have a new app that fixes this. AVOID THIS A new app in 2104, are you serious? PATHETIC

Purchase receipts need additional info. Dear Sir/Madam, When purchasing a digital mag subscription the title of the purchase needs to be included as part of the information on purchase receipt. As part of the apple invoice. Regards Paul

Good app. Easy subscriptions. Great selection of e-mags including some free downloads.

Crashes when trying to read purchased magazines. Frustrating - the app co to you sky crashes every time I try to read a magazine.

App crashing. Unfortunately the app is crashing when i am trying to go back to the library. Is it quite annoying. Other than that it is fine.

Matthew Walker. Great way to read the magazines I subscribe too!

Period living magazine. Magazine hasn’t loaded onto my app , the only one on there is from March 2020

Recommended. In my so far limited experience, this app does not deserve the universal criticisms of other reviews. I discovered this app only after trying to purchase a digital copy of a magazine from this source through Safari on an iMac running Yosemite and on an iPad Air running the latest iOS, both attempts being blocked in some way that I was unable to diagnose. Then, having discovered this app, I was discouraged by the adverse reviews and its very poor star ratings in the Apps Store. However, having failed through Safari there seemed nothing to be lost in trying the free app, so I installed it and am very glad I did so. I was able to select a sample free magazine edition to download from a choice of 17 and it downloaded speedily and was presented in the app in a pleasing manner. I then found the magazine and edition I wanted and purchased it through my iTunes account. Like the free sample, it downloaded speedily and was displayed in an excellent manner. I have not used the app long enough as yet to warrant a 5-star award but I can thoroughly recommend it and the ease with which it provides access to many magazines.

No problems. No problems with this app so far

Can’t even login. An app’s basic requirement is to be able to let subscribers login. It just won’t let me do that.

Love it. Brilliant app. Magazine issues stay in your phone for ages. Can take screenshots so you never lose them.

Great app for magazine subs.. I subscribe to a monthly artist magazine and I love getting my email prompt to checkout each new issue. I find its a reliable platform to view the articles and the journal often includes extra content to the digital platform. Its great having all issues in same place for reference…the hard copies would likely be all over my place!

Reliable App. I use app for one regular mag. Always notified when it’s due out and haven’t had any trouble reading my mag. Will use it for other mags in future.

Worst app ever. Absolute rubbish.magazines should automatically download.

Very convenient. Great way to make sure you never miss an issue, and the ability to keep back issues on hand is brilliant

Terrible. Not usable

Poor technical support. I continue to experience log in issues using my iPad whereby my password is not recognised but I can log in without issues on my Windows laptop. I've contacted support several times seeking advice/support on the issue but they have ignored me. I assume the problem relates to the iOS operating system and possibly my internet connection configuration as I can log when tethering to my iPhone. Any decent app developer would be interested in investigating problems experienced by customers/users but given the wall of silence, apparently not on this issue.

An excellent app. Great system which makes reading magazines a pleasure on mobile and tablet, especially

Pocketmags digital newsstand app. I have found no issues at this time with the app Found the app easy to navigate and reasonably fast

Pocketmags. Very slow to download magazine. Cannot subscribe directly from within application

Good way to buy and read Mags. Pocketmags is great value * mags at good prices * convenient way of reading - on the iPad * up to date when subscriptions have been purchased * saves buying paper versions

Slow. Poor - takes far to long to download one magazine. dreadful if you are subscribed to two or three.

Great app. I subscribe to Coastal living. An easy way to get my favourite magazine.

Unsuccessful app. App doesn't show mags subscribed 2 annually, nor back issues bought, "download previous purchases" link shows that my library is empty (but the specific magazine app (not associ8ed with pocket mags thru whom I bought all mags) shows all my purchases) ... pocket mags help line hasn't acknowledged help request, slow 2 respond/no response in fact.

Blocks across images in subscribed magazine. What more is there to say.

Impossible to understand pricing. Very very difficult (if not impossible) to understand the costs involved, how to monitor and control these. And I consider myself to be very IT literate.

Even after latest update it still Won't load magazines. A potentially great app but just refuses to load the magazines. Tried on several iPads and with new IOS updates. Makes no difference. Hope the fix it soon :)

Same old issues. I was told to download this by pocketmags support as I can't download mags in newsstand. Same old issues, nothing downloads! Why break newsstand and make their own app is beyond me? Apple needs to pull this and all pocketmags apps as they just don't work and send some devs over to fix this cluster***k! I have subscriptions that I can't access new or old mags I've bought, it's a waste of money and basically selling faulty goods

Great for mag reading on iPad. The PocketMags app is easy to use and a great way to manage digital subscriptions (which are often much cheaper than the paper version - and, of course, more eco-friendly). It’s convenient, loads fast and is easy to navigate. Recommended.

Fantastic!. I have subscriptions across a number of music magazines and they arrive promptly with prior email notification. Regular offers and back issue sales are attractive and inexpensive. Any minor issues are fixed promptly and the helpline is quick and courteous.

App crashes continuously. App crashes and library needs to be categorised more effitiently

Happy with this app. Easy to navigate and find issues. Well worth getting it.

Trying to update. WOW, this is bit of a drawn out process...

Pocketmags. Good program that works well.

Dreadful. Dreadful. Crashes constantly. Can't read magazine at all.

Poor. No downloading the magazine I have paid for

A so-so app. This app is a convenient way to read magazines, but the interface and perhaps the coding could be improved. The interface always opens at the ‘shop’, and doesn’t seem to be possible to set it to open at your ‘library’. Downloads (in Australia) are slow, and resolution can be poor. Odd behaviour occurs when magnifying a page, often leading to a jump to some different page. Although cheaper than paper, recently it won’t load anything at all.

Great App Response Support. Everything in one place. Includes some hard to find or hard to subscribe to products. When I raised a problem with one of their Mags I contacted them and it got fixed, they reached out to the publisher.

Convenient app. I use this app for a regular monthly magazine. I’m always notified of the next publication and download is quick and easy. A very convenient way to get my regular magazine.

Terrible user experience. Trying to read a favourite mag through this app is an appalling experience. Multiple downloads which freeze, needing to register to another site, an "app within newsstand", bad UI and unable to restore purchases. Lots of simple things not working. Support are helpful but they're dealing with a fundamentally flawed product. These reviews should be available at the time of buying a subscription to the mag: I've wasted money. Avoid this app.

Too hard to use. Not working for me. It’s not intuitive. Paid for an annual subscription and so far got nothing to show for it.

Pocketmags. Reliable and I’m quite use to reading on the iPad now. Wouldn’t go back to paper mags.

Great magazine app. I use this for UK living etc and I love how they notify you when there’s a new issue out , will definitely use for others if needed , Thankyou xx

Beware! Poor customer service.. Beware subscribing to magazines with Pocketmags. I subsribed to a magazine that stopped production before I even got one issue... Pocketmags didn’t advise me of this. When no issues were released I had to contact the publisher, who said it had ceased production and by then it was past the 90 day limit for refunds. Nobody at Pocketmags contacted the subscribers to inform them, three months later! I had to spend hours online with Apple because Pocketmags would do nothing, zero, zilch but offer me another magazine... so just be aware you might find yourself with nothing if you shell out money up front...

Not happy. This app will not work on my iPad. I can only see a small section of the magazine at a time. I've just purchased a years subscription to a magazine and can't read it on your app! How can this be fixed? So disappointed

Pocketmags. A great App, a very good way to download a wide range of interesting magazines. Highly recommended!

Terrible App. Slow. Incredibly slow to load, each step along the way. And they make you take 3 exhaustingly slow steps simply to read your own subscriptions. As for downloading to read offline….I have NEVER been able to do that. When I go to “manage downloaded magazines” the only option given is to delete them, not read them. The magazines themselves are enjoyable, but not worth the frustration

Excellent magazine subscription app. Lots of magazines to choose from, quick to download and the magazines easy to navigate. Excellent customer service.

Trfs. Angsts

A Great App. Works between phone, tablet or computer and is super easy to use.

Keeps freezing. As soon as I open the app to read one of my purchased magazines, it freezes. Cannot do anything except close the app.

It sucks. Makes another purchase. after opening my original purchase. Making me pay twice for the same magazine. It sucks!!

Great selection. This app has a great selection at an affordable price. I have no complaints.

Really easy and no pile of paper anymore. Easy to used and you just download the magazine on your device and your good to go.

It’s a scam. I bought a subscription and haven’t received any issues. Apple support says contact the developer who hasn’t done anything in 4 days. I paid good money for this so either they’re stealing or incompetent.

Pocketmags. Simple to use. Comprehensive selection of publications to choose from. Reasonable prices.

Horrible app. Ordered magazines and they do not appear in app, no help or instructions. Why not allow to download into ebooks on Apple?

Appreciated. Excellent way to get access to my favourite magazines, especially during these COVID-19 days

2 problems. Nice to have some sort of app to read magazines. Too bad one has to TYPE in passwords. I use 1Password to store passwords, but this app doesn’t allow pasting of passwords. On trying to email them this, I find the email fm has no way to send it. At least I could copy it & use my mail app to send it! It needs one consolidated app so you don’t hav to log in to each & every magazine. I guess I have bought too many to notice this.

Rock and gem magazine. When you have nothing to read???

Fixed. I did have a lot of issues. After contacting them. They replied with a remedy and so far it’s working great. So if anyone have issues please contact them they will help.

Fantastic. Fantastic app. Great service. Highest recommendation.

Pocketmags is a great App. This is a great way to browse and buy your magazines. I have some subscriptions and I buy some mags after browsing through to see if there is enough content that I am interested in. You never miss an issue and it is substantially cheaper than hard copies and more environmentally friendly. You can also zoom in on pictures, for example on plastic model airplanes to see more detail in a way that you can not on hard copies.

Pocketmags great read. I enjoy this app I use it for most of my digital print content. Would recommend this to anyone who would ask.

Crashes & resets. I heard from the developer to let me know that they read my criticism and made changes to the app. I am revising my rating and upgrading it to a 4 star. This update to the app seems to solve my two concerns. I learned on my own that the crashes I was experiencing was partially because I use a VPN. There are no related warnings for those experiencing crash issues that a VPN could affect the performance of the app... this should be included in the app literature.

Simple and convenient. A more affordable way to get the magazines I couldn’t stop buying, and no piles of paper in the apartment. Plus, I can go back and look at old issues with no loss of storage space! My only complaint is that facing pages don’t always line up correctly, which spoils the pictures which are a major part of the car magazines I read.

Constantly Crashing. This app used to be stable, not sure what changed, can barley download an issue without it crashing 3+ times on ios. pretty disappointing

Worth it. Good app trouble free

Great Service. When I reached out to customer service they got back to me right away and resolved the issue. Great customer service!

Someday it will load. I am sure that this would be a great app. If it ever loaded without crashing. I am only using this company because it has the magazine that I wanted, for another magazine I would recommend not using Pocketmags. There is always an issue when trying to read my subscription.

Love it.. I keep all my mags here.

Parubokmotorny. Unable to update and unable to open!!!! Feel gipped. You have my money and I have no product!!!!!

Find another magazine subscription host!. I was gifted a magazine for my birthday and boy this turned out as the opposite of a gift. It was never communicated to the purchaser that I needed a code and there was no code to be found until I started the emails.. 1 response per 24 hour period?! 7 or 8 emails later I finally got my subscription recognized on the app. The customer service is very robotic and they put links in the emails that don't even relate to what they said the link is.. And then finally I figure out it takes 8-12 weeks for my first magazine to show up?? 1 star ladies and gentlemen.

Ease of use and convenience. Much better than carrying a pile of magazine. The app itself works fine, but I wished more content was available.

Hard to cancel. Im not able to cancel my membership. Make it complicated so you still pay

Apps refuses to download magazine. Thaïs app is instable André terminales everything Time I try to open a certain magazine.

The app that keeps on crashing. This app would be wonderful except for the fact that it keeps on crashing- it is impossible to use!

This is the worst experience ever.. Don't try printing anything. It uses up all your red ink. Very unhappy with this app.

Pocketmags app. Great subscription for everyone’s interests. Prompt opening and presentation of magazines..

Love the App. Great app. But would like to see a progress bar for mags I’m reading or at a minimum some form of marking magazines as read.

Great service, great magazine. Love the convenience of being able to read the magazine on my iPad.

Plus service does not load !. As others have noted app is poorly executed. Signed up for Plus and it would not open any of the additional magazines just the ones I had subscriptions for prior.

Doesn’t Open Properly. I recently subscribed to FlyPast and find the app almost useless. Sometimes it opens, most times it doesn’t. Very frustrating.

Great selection, easy to use. Love Pocketmags they have a great selection for all my interests, cooking, crafts, travel, womens interests etc. Have no hesitation recommending this app to anyone.

Massive problems. I have been attempting to use the app on multiple iPads/iPhone and it keeps losing magazines. Also now it is only possible to view a few mags and not past editions. Just using the App and sizing is also awful. Please revise

Get all mags. Love the unlimited option

Impossible to cancel subscriptions. Automatically renew subscriptions. Difficult or impossible to cancel through the Apple store. Scamming customers.

Unable to print article. This app imposes restrictions that do not exist if you receive the printed mags. For example only authorizes to print 2 pages at a time. Why not authorize printing entire article which can be many pages (8-15 pages happens) or simply remove any restrictions.

Cant access my subscription. It’s very frustrating!

Worst Magazine App ever!. Does not even deserve 1 star. App is old and clunky. Deletes all your downloads when you re-login. Customer support is non-exisistant. I went so far as tweeting the CEO and CIO for help and did not even receive the courtesy of a response.

Quite bad compared to the competition. Ok, I've been reading HiFi+ through the Apple Newsstand for quite awhile but it recently started failing an I couldn't load or read the latest edition reliably. When it did (briefly) it looked good. In desperation I downloaded the Pocket Mags app and now it downloads ok (albeit very slowly) and will let me read it. However, the text is fuzzy on my retina iPad in normal view and spindly and thin in zoomed view. You can't pop out of the app and then back in because the app closes the mag you are reading and goes back to the home view. There is potential here but an update better be coming soon or my subscription will be cancelled. I have used Zinio for years with no problems at all. Get with it guys!

Endless loop. Just bought my subscription - had been working fine - then today I go to read on my iPad says I need update of app and I press ok and it takes me to App Store where it just says open (no update) - press open and the cycle repeats .... VERY frustrating after a week of great service!

Crap system. Crashes. And crashes. And crashes. Only reason I use it is because there is one magazine that I want and have to use the app.

Pocket mags delivers. I would like to express how nice this app really is. The content is delivered without difficulty and ready for reading. I have several different reading app subscriptions and am happy to note that Pocketmags is well worth a reader’s joy!

Pocketmags. What a great way to get these mags without paying duties an broker fees. I purchase Weathering by AMMO and Damaged by AK and this app lets me get my choice an refer to it digitally!

Pocket mags. Well designed, but not enough SF.

App needs work. App needs work Library won’t open and app keeps on closing

Plus won’t load. Just spins without loading any content for Plus. Unacceptable for this to go on for days for a paid service. Will cancel this week if not resolved.

Pocket Mags. Great publications, writers and articles for PC Pilot! Richard, USA, NJ

Need a search function. Pain in the neck to find magazines.

Subscription not available to be used. Purchased subscription to Atomic Ranch through Apple ID, was not allowed to read any articles through AR specific app nor the pocket mags app and the help section could not provide assistance. Subscription refund requested.

Excellent App. Excellent app for my needs.

Poor support. Works well enough, but if you need a password reset or other support, be prepared to wait…and wait…and wait. It can take days.

Printing. I find it very difficult to print out a pattern. I’ve not been very successful 99%of the time! Very disappointed in this digital magazine! Please do not renew it!

6 style error. Getting an error on subscription will not let me view. No response from support

Poor integration with LastPass. Also, after setting a password, I was unable to login. Password was in my paste buffer. I even pasted it here to verify. Silly. Best to check this stuff.

Opens and crashes. I downloaded the app to read some of the magazines I got a subscription to, and it crashes as soon as it opens. Tried uninstalling and restarting my phone but does the same. I honestly can’t give anymore review about the app itself cause it crashes before I can do anything.

Not working on iPhone 13 pro. Not working on iPhone 13 pro

Good app. Would have given 5/5 if there was a way to print out charts from the cross stitch magazines

Love pocket mags. If you love to read and learn this is for you

So sad. I would like to unsubscribe from a magazine but I can’t figure how.

Constantly crashing. Worthless app

They just want to charge you. All this site does is make it impossible for you to quit, so they can keep charging you.

Rating. Terrible. Mistakenly switched to zuS instead of GB and can’t figure out how to switch back. Can’t find my subscription anywhere.

Vet difficult to login. This app is very difficult. If you’re buying a magazine you should first check to see if the magazine is in the App Store itself and avoid this complicated front end ~ wish I did before I subscribed through this thing.

Enjoying and useful. I reallyenjoy pocket mags. Can start on one device and finish on another.

Good app - wish bookmarks were more accessible. I like this app mostly because it gives me access to magazines not easy to find in the US. Prices are reasonable compared to competitor app. My only frustration is that when you bookmark a page - you have to be in that magazine to access the bookmarks. I would prefer to just open app and look through my bookmarks for items I saved for later.

Very hard to cancel subscriptions.. Very difficult to cancel a subscription. I had to dispute the surprise recurring transaction through my credit card and I’m still not even sure if I’ll get the money back. Shady practices. Don’t bother.

A Buggy, Constantly Crashing App. I want to like this app, I really do. But every time I want to buy a magazine, the app crashes. Or freezes. Or freezes then crashes. I've reinstalled twice with no luck. Very disappointing because I wanted to give them money. The two magazines I wanted to buy apparently only sell through this app. Now I have to track down the magazine publishers and send them feedback, too, to let them know that I can't purchase their magazines. Super annoying and inconvenient.

Can’t print my cross stitch designs. I can not print my cross stitch designs from my cross stitcher magazine so not very happy with this digital magazine. Other,agazines let you print out pages. Makes it hard to keep track of my stitches without a printed chart.

Great App. Easy to navigate. Great way to read magazines.

Crashes on New IPad 3. I received an email promo about PocketMags so I took a chance and downloaded it (running iOS 5.1.1). Once it finished installing I opened the app and clicked on the categories at the top to navigate thru the app... I was pushed out of the app (in other words it crashed) and sent back to my home screen. I tried entering the app and once again it crashed! I didn't attempt a third time; as you know what they say about doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result... It's the definition of insanity! I gave just one star because it wouldn't allow me to write a review without grading the app... Don't bother downloading this app. I went to my diagnostics page and it showed me the crash report. Tri Active Media, if you want me to write a better review about PocketMags make a better app or at least one I can use. Time is money and I've just lost time reading your promo email, installing an app that doesn't operate according to its/your directives and last, explaining the process of what happened in my experience so other eager consumers chomping at the bit to get a quality app that delivers what's promised avoids the apps that are time wasters. Unfortunately I'm very direct and to the point; don't confuse this as anything less, such as an insult, but merely constructive criticism. I'm deleting the app for now. Please don't send me anymore emails until you get under the hood and turn the proverbial I.T. wrench... Good luck!

My subscriptions are not listed in this app. I downloaded 3 different miniaturist magazine apps. All offer an option to read my subscriptions if I am a member of this app. So I download this app, only to find that none of my magazines really are listed here. Waste of time.

Pocket plus issues. I generally enjoy this app. I decided to try the Plus option hoping that some of my favourite magazines would be included- they were not! My issue with the Plus option is how limited the fitness, craft sections are. Also, the “women’s” interest section is just sexist; tons of gossip and reality star nonsense with some fashion thrown in!! Is Britain this backwards still. The “Men’s “ sections is filled with football, hunting, war etc... guess I was hoping for more options then this limited grouping. The app can be very slow to load and sometimes the feature page is blank. I gave 4 stars because it’s still nice to have an option to read different magazines.

Slow to post. I’ve noticed over the past year, my digital subscription to Rock & Gem is very slow to post on Pocketmags. I’ve had to write a few times, asking why my latest issue hadn’t yet appeared halfway into the current month. Just a handful of monthly issues would appear in a timely fashion. Once issues are available, there are no problems with viewing them. I like the app’s ease of use. One shouldn’t have to enquire where their latest issue is though. Get it together Pocketmags. Please.

Bookmarks don’t work. Seldom saved and often mark the wrong page.

Avoid if possible. downloading is a pain with this app. the download will freeze for just about any reason (autolock, change to another app, just stops), often reseting back the to begining. have had multiple instances where the progress bar was at about 95%, then reset to 20% and took another hour. I have a number of other magazine subscriptions not through pocketmags and they do not show this behavior. unfortunately the specialist magazine to which I subscribe in only available on pocketmags.

Doesn’t open. After registering, I chose a free issue but the app keeps crashing. Quite disappointing experience.

Pocketmags. Good selection to choose from. Well thought out business concept.

Go with Zinio. I’ve had nothing but problems with this app. First my subscription was screwed up. It was downloading back issues. I thought the idea of downloading the magazine was to read offline, for example on a plane when you have no wifi or internet access. When I try to open the magazine it tells me it cannot contact the server. Why does it need the sever if I downloaded it? It shows downloaded. Speaking of which, I can download two years worth of magazines on Zinio while this app is only at 15% on the first magazine. So painfully slow. $20 subscription wasted. I will never, ever subscribe to anything again through this app. I’ve never had a problem with anything purchased through inio.

Great app. I love having my mags at my fingertips for my on the go sessions .... info is key or just to relax when grabbing a free moment!

Useful app for magazines. Convenient way to access magazine subscriptions.

Great info. A thorough magazine

Freezes too often. Often freezes on iPad. Can’t even load my magazines right now. Sad that this is my only choice of apps to access my mobile magazines.

Pleasure to navigate!. Very well laid out

Great app. Easy to use. Lots of great magazines. Customer service answers promptly and very helpful

Replaced a previous app. I had an app called let’s knit that apparently had been replaced-by Pocketmags. I cannot seem to restore my previous purchases

Great magazines. I get the magazines via email. Enjoy this app. Could be tweaked a bit,but all in all a good app. Glad I found this app

Where Are My Recent Issues. I cannot see my May and June issue for FlyPast and Air Forces. What do so I can see them?

Not Perfect, But Not So Bad. I already subscribe to Majesty, and I have received every issue. The navigation is easy once you figure it out, but it isn't always obvious. I had a subscription to Hello! via Zinio, but they appear to no longer stock it, and in any case, I didn't want every issue, just specific ones that I found of interest. I purchased an issue that I wanted to read and downloaded it. Once it was downloaded, I could leave the app without losing the issue. The search unction is a little buggy, and frequently booted me out of the app. At one point it told me there was no Hello! but I was able to get the past issues page to pop up to browse. I will buy more issues in the future, but a year's subscription is steep when I have no interest in most of the content, so an occasional purchase when I want to read it, seems like a good fit for me. Everything is easy to access because it shows what I have purchased, and I can just click on it. In the past I have noticed that when you subscribe to a a magazine through this app, it will notify you that it is available before it actually can be downloaded and read, but as I now am aware of that, I wait until the next day and then download it.

App won’t load. All of a sudden your app won’t load will just sit there and spin. Never had an issue until now.

Unusable. A magazine I subscribe to, "Movie Maker", announced they are now using Pocketmags for digital distribution. So I gave it a try. The app was slow to download my magazine, even at 20 Mbps download speed, and when I switched away to do something else on my iPad, the download paused. So that's not very convenient. And once the magazine downloaded, any article that was white text on black background was unreadable. Bye bye. Now deleting this app. Once I did finally get my download finished, I found the magazine viewer to be unusable, at least for this publication. This magazine prints some pages as white text on a black background. When viewing the whole page in the app, the text is unreadable. And when I tried to zoom in, all I got was big white rectangles with no visible text. My guess is that there's a design flaw in the app whereby zooming forces a re-render of the screen, but that the re-render assumes a white background. So the text was white on white. Regardless of the cause, the end result is that some articles are completely unreadable. So I deleted the app and will shortly cancel my account. Then I'll suggest to the magazine that they use some other less buggy and more standard mechanism for digital distribution.

Keep crashing on ‘my library tab. Since IOS update

App. No search funtion on the mac desktop app

Have worked great! Update. I’m able to get an equestrian magazine from the UK at my fingertips every week. Have had no problems! Update: upgraded to plus and still in 1st month free trial. Got confirmation from apple 3 days ago and still have no access to plus magazines.

Well thought out website.. Good to see what a website should look like. Tons of good magazines at fair prices.
