Compared with my old routine of picking up the glossy from the newsagent every month, reading the same titles on here is quicker and I don't end up with a pile of paper in the car. I've been a reader of woodworking titles for years so I know the back issues I want and the search finds them straight away. Renewal is painless and I've not had a single issue fail to load on my tablet.
Read moreI bought a single issue to try a new title and it was about what I expected for the price. The issue arrived in my library quickly and reads well on my tablet. What did put me off was trying to cancel the subscription the company set up afterwards, which needed several steps and a bit of hunting for the right page. I got it sorted in the end but it was more faff than it should have been.
Read moreI tried a few other apps before settling on this one, mainly for the archive of my knitting magazine. The reading experience is good and the issues load without any trouble on my laptop. The price is reasonable for what you get, though a couple of the titles I wanted cost a bit more here than on another site. Signing up and managing the subscription was easy enough, and I have not had any billing…
Read moreBetter than buying the paper copy for my travel magazine, I think. Read it on my phone on the train, no need to carry anything. Sign in was quick. Good stuff.

Would happily pay for this again, the app is easy and quick to use on my phone. Read it on the bus most mornings and the issues always load first time. Only thing that slowed me down was logging back in after updating the app, took a couple of goes.
The free preview sold me straight away, you can read a bit of the issue before paying. Loads fast on my phone and I like that the pages turn smoothly. Took about a minute to sign up. Really happy with it so far.
Needed something to read on the train that wasn't just scrolling. Downloaded a magazine on my phone the same night and it was ready straight away. Loved how easy it was to read on the go, no faff at all. Would definitely use again.
Got a single issue of the fashion mag to try it out before committing. It came through straight away and the pictures look great on my phone. Didn't mind paying the price for one issue, feels fair enough.
I needed a cheap way to keep reading my monthly title without paying shop prices every time. This does that, and the price per issue is good value for me.
Honestly really good. Read the new issue of my football mag on the bus and it loads fast, no stupid pop ups. Easy to sign in and everything works. Might get the annual one.
I took out a yearly subscription to the gardening title, which I had been meaning to try for ages. The issues arrive on the day they are published, which I appreciate very much. Reading it on my laptop is lovely and the photographs are clear. Setting up the account was simple and I was reading within minutes.
Compared with buying the magazines at the shop, a monthly plan here works out much cheaper for me. I get several titles in one place and there is no paper to recycle afterwards. Signing up took a couple of minutes and the first issues were waiting in my library. I just wish the search was a bit better when looking for older editions.
I needed something light to read on holiday and did not want to lug paper copies about. Downloaded a few issues before we left and they worked perfectly in the airport and on the beach. Very pleased with it.
This was my first time using the service so I was not sure what to expect. The sign up was quick and the free trial let me see if I liked it before paying anything. The magazine I picked loaded on my laptop without any fuss. Pleased with it so far and will keep the subscription going.
