Oprah Insider Reviews

by Peskorza

This was such a wonderful app before the platform change. Now, every single time since the changeover (and it has been a substantial period of time now), whenever there is an update, all my issues revert to the cloud and I have to again download EVERY SINGLE issue I have access to via my subscription. That means YEARS worth of issues, since I’ve long been a subscriber, to re-download, constantly and repeatedly. I’m also no fan of the new format, having found the one previous to the platform change, far more straightforward and accessible. Why did they have to “fix” something that was never broken and which now breaks down again and again and again? So frustrating and annoying and just a serious piece of crap.

I had a print subscription that is no longer being offered and was told I could get 3 months of Oprah Insider digital content. For the free trial it asks for my Oprah account number, which I have no idea what it is since it’s not being sent to me. Oprah Membership Club told me to use my Good Housekeeping account number (maybe they are the same?). I tried that. It also asks for my email. To access the subscriber area of the Oprah I Insider app, it asks me to log in using my email and zip. It won’t accept it (says email and zip aren’t valid. I’m not going to pay money until I have a chance to evaluate it for free as I was told I could.

It seems this is not allowed. I only get to read the last month or two? I am a subscriber, I can keep the paper copies forever, why can’t I have offline access to past issues. It seems this is a recent change to OprahInsider , and it is not reader friendly.

I paid for an annual subscription through OprahInsider Store and when I try to access the subscription, it asks for an email and password. The only email and password I have is for OprahInsider Store. However, OprahInsider won’t let me log-in or otherwise set up an email and password for OprahInsider . If there is some other way to access the subscription, it is not user friendly and I feel like I just committed to pay for a year of nothing! Love Oprah but give OprahInsider 0 stars.

I canceled my subscription after having it for several years and now every magazine I ever purchased is locked and I’m now being charged $3.99 to unlock each one. I’ve reached out for assistance and it has yet to be remedied. I’m frustrated as I haven’t been able to view magazines I already paid for.
I’ve reached out 5 times in as many days and still no restore of all of my purchases. I’m so frustrated.

Email after email, 1-800 phone call, a tech support email response said they no longer support OprahInsider ? I got confirmation that they have my money, my subscription is up to date BUT I have NO ACCESS to the MAGAZINE!!

Hello ...is anyone out there that can actually help?
Or did I just pay good money for nothing?

by Mskeita

I have been a subscriber since 2013. I also subscribe to InStyle and Real Simple.
The Oprah magazine app is by far the most frustrating to use. My purchases are not restored fully. OprahInsider stops working routinely, which require to uninstall/install and download again all the issues.
Subscribing to digital issues is the environmental thing to do but the experience of using OprahInsider is unpleasant which is unfortunate because I love the magazine

by Sneitzel

The magazine app used to be just intermittently problematic. I frequently had to delete OprahInsider and re-install to get issues to load. I put up with it because the content was great. Since the most recent update, the format of the magazine is ridiculous. You can't scroll through it anymore and there is a ludicrous vertical list of topics to which you must return to read the content. What were you thinking, app developers?!?!?!

I have always been a fan of anything Oprah but OprahInsider is wayyyyy below her standards. There is not service to the customer on the customer service line. I have reloaded OprahInsider more than I care to think. I have OprahInsider because when and if I have down time this was going to be my go to. I want OprahInsider to be functional or give me back my hard earned $20. Can you fix that Oprah?

by DCMDreader925

Bad app. Not intuitive it isn’t even an app but seems like a standalone URL and you have to seek out and look hard for what you might want to look at. Not sure I will ever see all the content bc it doesn’t make sense to navigate easily.

I moved back to my hometown of Spencer, OK in July 2012. I had 90 to 95 of all of the issues of ‘O Magazine’ printed. I returned home to take guardianship of my aging mother. Regrettably, she pasted away recently on July 27, 2019. I put my things in storage for about a year to gradually combine our household. One of the things I had to leave in the rubbish bin at the storage was my prized collection of O Magazines. I have a small bedroom and simply had to choose between my books or the magazines. It was a tough decision. I modified my standard magazine subscription to an E-subscription to cut down on clutter. — I enjoy the magazine, it's still one of the ways I can connect to that little girl name Oprah, who asked herself what she be doing in the year 1999.

I like that she shares her thoughts and feelings. I like OprahInsider because it is about being the best person you can be today and growing in the direction that is best for you.

My credit card has been charged and I’ve set up my email I’d and password. I’ve started receiving the Oprah insider emails. But when I sign in all I get is pop-ups to join Oprah insider. I want my money back. This is too much aggravation. It’s definitely not living my best life.

I wasn’t sure I would enjoy reading an electronic magazine, but so far not bad.

I am all in because if Oprah is in it I know for sure it will be helpful and good in many ways.

by Future House Hunter 2019

I always love Oprah and go she is so vulnerable with her life and how she is a giver as I am.

I am all in to live my Best life while loving the real, imperfect, beautiful, sometimes afraid but brave me!

Keep loving yourself Oprah Insiders and Always Live Your Best Life!!

Oprah’s perspective on integrity is very powerful. You have to be whole and honest with yourself to have complete integrity. Doing the right thing builds character and makes us our very best selves. We have to lead by example.

Similar to other reviewers, I can’t access the mag via swipe feature, which is pretty key. Nor can I access contents via icon (reverts to cover page). How am I supposed to read this mag? Just submitted issue to app support.

by Jleeper13

Just downloaded Oprah’s app, so I can’t say much besides I’m excited to get into the content and get my Fem workout on! Haha.

If it’s anything like everything about HER…..; one of the most respectable, honorable, courageous, fun, loving, giving, and gifting black women that’s ever done it……..

Uhmmmm, I forget. Lost in wonder again🤔👸🏾

Oh yeah, OprahInsider will be legit. As long as she’s running it, the CEO over all of it.

Love you ❤️💙

The so-called “improved swiping” makes it impossible to swipe at all. I can’t get past the cover on the two most recent issues. Have cancelled subscription.

by Kellyc3000

OprahInsider is telling me I have a subscription and to log in using my email and password. I can’t remember my password, of course. But there is nowhere to change the password. I’ve looked everywhere I can think of.

by B1anne

Seems the swipe function no longer works so you can’t read the magazine. And the contents page doesn’t work either. Very frustrating. Right now I can only access one or two pages from recent magazines.

by Jenlynham

Can’t swipe to turn the page, completely ineffective. Email to customer “service” ignored. Guess I’ll turn to twitter to voice complaint.

by Mistblu67

No cover image for my November issue. App is great otherwise.

by Mz Medy

I can seem to get the magazines on the go tho can someone help me with it please

by Nickie Belle

I absolutely love my subscription to this magazine. I’ve had bad experiences with a few of my other magazine subscriptions but not this one. It comes out every month on time, each issue has plenty of informative articles, and I can download for offline. Not to mention how inspirational it is. This is one of the best digital magazines out there.

Never saw that before, 5 min. Trial Countdown smart idea!
