Fortean Times Magazine Reviews

Love this magazine! I am not a fan of cluttering up my house with back issues of magazines, but love to look over them again and again. Imagine my surprise when they updated ForteanTimesMagazine and most of my years of back issues had been deleted!!!!!!!!!!

Why do I even bother? Seriously mad here. It is if someone came I to my home and robbed my library. These were MY magazines.

I am so angry. Long time reader, contemplating whether or not to continue subscribing. Be forewarned- you are purchasing a read, not a magazine.
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

A week ago I updated my app and lost access to six years' worth of back issue purchases. Wrote to "customer service" and still have no response.

but after this last rework, it's forgotten or lost many of my magazines, and it doesn't include the special issues at all.
Zinio is a much better alternative!

Refused to address their robbing me of many paid for back issues.

App crashes immediately after I launch it! All I get to see is a title screen, and that's it! Terrible app! Huge disappointment

This is just an app that let's you BUY the content. They should be more clear in their description.

Did I just buy a subscription that will enable me to BUY your magazines? This is ridiculous. A waste of money.

"Free" means only ForteanTimesMagazine to see what magazines you want to pay for. Disingenuous at best, dishonest at worst.

I have enjoyed Fortean Times over the last decade or so and when it came out on my iPad I figured "great, no more spotty mail delivery". Unfortunately ForteanTimesMagazine is less than ideal if you want to view your purchases in anything other than portrait view. I mean forget the unnecessary things like page flipping animation, in landscape view the spread is minimized to a corner and can only be enlarged to fit the screen if you manually stretch it with your fingers. Side note... that only works for the page you are on and you will have to do it for every consecutive page you turn to. I guess I can view it on portrait mode but the case I keep the iPad in makes this a clumsy venture.

It states in the description that back issues and future issues are purchased through ForteanTimesMagazine . That you can also subscribe to the newsstand/digital version of the magazine with the prices listed.

Those that have written bad reviews, inferring they have in some way been conned because the magazine isn't free, are incorrect. The description, if people bother to take the time to read it properly and not just d/l because ForteanTimesMagazine says it's free, will realise quickly ForteanTimesMagazine isn't misleading or dishonest in the slightest. ForteanTimesMagazine is free, the magazine, like most other magazines, is not. As a subscriber to the physical magazine I would be disappointed if people got ForteanTimesMagazine with the ability to read the magazine for free.

Would like it if there was a way to input my subscription account details into ForteanTimesMagazine instead of having to cancel my current subscription and re-subscribe here. I like getting the physical magazine and currently I can log online and read when away from home and have forgotten my magazine, so thought I could just input my details on ForteanTimesMagazine . Unless I have missed something!

Too hard to find without manually searching ForteanTimesMagazine Store.

Long time reader and subscriber... Very happy to give up my American subscription (I'm not a fan of the US distributor) in favor of a Newsstand edition.
