Men’s Health Magazine Reviews

by Jonny_Renegade1

I used to love this application when you could look at both the PDF version of an issue as well as a streamlined scroll version, where you could tap on an article and scroll to read through it. But about 6 months ago, there was an update to the application that did away with the streamlined view, and now there is no longer an option to toggle between the two. Now it’s difficult and very tedious to have to swipe to flip a page, zoom in and out to read the words, zoom out to view photos / diagrams, especially on the iPhone.

My suggestion would be to give the reader and consumer the option to switch between the two views. I’m sure a PDF view would look great on an iPad, but for iPhones with much smaller screens by design, the scroll version is much more efficient.

I have tried to cancel this rip off Subscription and each time they tell me it’s been canceled they keep billing me year after year. I am going to report this to the attorney general in the Better Business Bureau. I’m sick and tired of being ripped off by something I’ve canceled and they keep billing me every year.
Do not buy men’s health unless you want to pay a subscription fee for the rest of your life.

I have been a subscriber for years and primarily read using MensHealthMagazine . This has to be one of the worst “upgrades” I have seen in all my apps. The new layout looks like a magazine in a web browser. If I wanted to read articles on the web, I wouldn’t subscribe to a magazine. That new “modern” table of contents is useless. I just love endlessly scrolling through tiny squares hoping I’ll see a tiny glimpse of what I was looking for. The saving grace before was the ability to still see the PDF magazine, which stayed true to the print version, but, you guessed it, that’s gone too. MensHealthMagazine is a complete abomination. I can’t believe is has 1.5 stars.

This version has a text view that is pretty much useless. It has a clipping feature that let's you do things like selecting a portion of the screen to share or save, but it only lets you clip what is on the screen. It won't let you scroll at all, so if what you want to clip is below what is currently on screen you're out of luck.

You can save a page, but you have to log in through Facebook or email to do so.

I exclusively use the PDF mode because the magazine looks the same as the printed version that way. The text mode throws the magazine's layout in the trash and presents it like a crappy unformatted webpage article.

You can't use MensHealthMagazine without internet in text mode either, because it downloads a page of content when you get to it, and dumps pages, so you can't go back to them.

The old app looked like the magazine, had some fun interactive features, and was a million times better.

I have not been able to read an issue of this magazine for three months. MensHealthMagazine on my iPad and my iPhone freezes every time I try to download an issue. If I try to get to settings/help, MensHealthMagazine freezes, if I do advance to help, once I start to type MensHealthMagazine freezes. I’ve reached out to Men’s Health, Hearst Publications, MAZ and Apple. All point the finger to each other and none, I mean none of them have tried to fix the issue. Restoring issues does not work. Uninstalling, reinstalling MensHealthMagazine does not work. Hearst says they no longer use the iTunes platform for their digital version of the magazine. I finally just cancelled my subscription. The worst feeling is being caught in the middle and no one accepting responsibility to fix MensHealthMagazine .

App started freezing every time I used it. I contacted tech support, and got the standard “Please allow us two to three business days to reply.” Two weeks later, I contacted them again, letting them know that this was my second attempt at contacting them. As of right now (a month later) I haven’t received any contact from tech support. Finally decided to delete MensHealthMagazine and reinstall it. Seems to be working, and yes—probably something I should have tried at the start. But a real hats off to the stellar tech support team at Maz (sarcasm emoji)

So I just got a new device and I'm trying to sign into my account to access the magazine via MensHealthMagazine . The problem is that it won't take my password, and it is the correct password because I sign into my old device with it even after signing out. I think they need to pay close attention to their app and make changes.

MensHealthMagazine use to be nice.

Offline mode is terrible it often does not work. App has no way to visibly show you whether the full issue is downloaded. I read on my iPad often without wifi and offline mode is necessary. Design UI looks older and boring. I'm not sure if they did this to drive people back to print but it's clear no thought was put into this. PDF view is good if you don’t want to create a better UI at least make it so the PDF view is able to be saved for offline viewing.

I guess they wanted to go out of business as the new version is impossible to use. The version takes forever to load and it unusable. I wish I could comment on the content but since the "new version" came out I haven't been able to access it. Why not go back a version until you get it right! For example tapped to get an article and I the time it took me to update the iPhone version and type this review, it still hasn't loaded.

Had MensHealthMagazine last summer and bought a few issues. It was convenient and worked well.

Yesterday I went ahead and bought a subscription thinking it would be the same and have had all the same issues stated in these other reviews. Click on the issue and it opens extremely slow. After that it's won't do anything. Today I cancelled my subroutine since I had a 30 day free trial. I'll come back when they fix it. On to print copies now.

I can no longer read this magazine because it will not restore my fully paid subscription. I’ve tried multiple times and even though it says it restored, it still wants me to pay for a subscription. I’ve sent multiple emails via the in-app help and gotten no response. If it doesn’t get fixed soon, I’m going to cancel and request a refund of my annual payment. This used to work just fine.

You can only share the entire magazine via iPhone or iPad you can’t send yourself an individual stories. The biggest problem with Men’s Health is that you can’t remember all the great advice! If you were able to send yourself an individual store you would like when you’re reading it on MensHealthMagazine it would be killer an increase the value add significant way!

Whatever - 10 issues/year and this one dude always shows up like clock work

by Andyrasa

I usually don't complain about these things, but whatever format it went to BLOWS!! Uploads take a long time or app shuts down and resets to home page. Or it times out and goes to standby. Update back to the old version or fix!

by Anizard

can Apple do something with Men's Health Magazine,
I try the support from Men's Health Mag and they said it is iPad issue…
if you wanna that app think twice...

by Zx6rob

Trying to read the content and all I’m seeing is the ads. The PDF seems to be working fine. What happen to the video content and interacting of MensHealthMagazine it just seems to be just boring. I have been a subscription member for years and years. Please send out a update to fix this issue.

The issue with MensHealthMagazine freezing and crashing seems to finally have been resolved. App works great now

by Lew S1

This is where I find interesting articles that supply much of the health information I need to keep my 80 year old body in tip top shape.

by Long Time MH Subscriber

The original app years ago was better. MH attempt to “upgrade” = total fail. Don’t know how much reviews they have had in the past with original version that said hey change it. Sometimes if it ain’t broke don’t fix. Anyways I’ve cancelled my subscription

by JRMlaw

I’ve been a print-subscriber almost since the beginning. MensHealthMagazine has always been iffy, but I struggled through the problems to get my digital edition along with my print copy. Now, apparently, MH stopped offering the digital version with a print subscription. That’s it for me - I deleted MensHealthMagazine and canceled by subscription. Huge disappointment for a long-time fan.
