1. 1/5Terrible

   This app used to work fine but September was the last month I was allowed to read the mag. It will not populate my library any longer so I was not able to enjoy October and now November and I am about to request a refund it happens on both my iPhone and iPad which has the newest versions and I redownload the app simply crap.

2. 2/5Last century app. A reason to cancel my subscription

   I want to read off-line. This app doesn’t support that. Signing in to the Zinio version after many years required back and forth to customer service. They were helpful but that is no reason to make you log into. New version so exceedingly difficult. All news apps except this permit you to return to the page where you left. Here you either remember to bookmark or page back to the page. Content has deteriorated over the years, now the publisher seems more interested in making a quick buck from any sale rather than sticking to the quality reporting MacWorld and MacUser were famous for.

3. 1/5I’ve had it! I am terminating my subscription.

   I got a App Store subscription in Feb. 2019, and for the first few months, the app worked and I enjoyed the publication (I went digital after having a print subscription for a decade, at first it was through Zinio, but that was an exercise in frustration). A few months ago, the Macworld magazine logged me out, and the “Restore Subscription” button did nothing (other than telling me that my purchase was being restored — but it never happens). I figured it was a temporary glitch, and tried again a week later. It has been several months, and the damned thing has never worked. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, and it still fails. I’ve tried the “App Support” link as seen in the App Store, and that doesn’t work (“This page is no longer available”). I used to be big fan of this magazine, but this experience has me planning to terminate my subscription before it renews. The end of a long relationship. I’m sure the editorial staff is still top notch, but whatever outfit they’ve gotten into bed with on the digital subscription side is totally bottom of the barrel. What a shame.

4. 2/5App stinks

   I purchased a subscription and couldn’t even download the magazine! Tried to click on app support and the website said it had moved and wasn’t available! Good luck getting ahold of anyone at the company that owns Macworld. Good thing I had whiskey left at my bar...or you would get one star!

5. 1/5Go back to the RELIABLE print edition

   I was a MacWorld subscriber for many years until it went digital. I like printed magazines. I’m not such a tech nerd that EVERYTHING in my life has to be digital. I could read the printed magazine here, there, and everywhere without the need for a wi-fi connection, or an AC outlet with which to charge my reading device. After reading all of the recent reviews, the digital edition is apparently still lacking and it does not provide a reliable reading experience. You know, during the many years that I was a print edition subscriber, I never had a single problem with reading my printed MacWorld magazine. Translation: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. At the least, provide both the digital AND print editions again.
