Love the magazine itself but the app is Soo buggy. I can't ever log in always tells me wrong password. And the emails sent to me don't ever allow me to claim the deals being offered through the app. I own all but the last few issues but can't currently get in to read anything. Would give more stars if I could at least access my stuff I have paid for. Now I don't have everything I paid for and no one will contact me even after email a week ago. Terrible don't waste time or money!!!!!

Love the History magazine. However difficult sometimes to find where I left off reading. A bookmark function would help. Also I wish there were a way to have the crossword on the app !

Unashamedly asks for money from the very beginning. I am certain that, if I pay, the quality will be high. But shedding more money than I can afford for the sake of culture and learning is not what I was looking for, and there wasn't written that it isn't a free app, which is not fair play. UK's BBC thinks it is so precious and unique, but I will find free alternatives in other languages: stuff in French from Canada, France, Switzerland, Belgium, French-speaking Africa. Readily uninstalled.
