Gardens Illustrated Magazine Reviews

The content of the magazine is great, but I’ve had nothing but problems getting the application to function. I download content, only to find out it’s unavailable the next day. Constant issues with being able to view previously downloaded content. Really a shame, because the content is fantastic.

App support is sketchy at best. No resolution to my issues other than asking whether I’ve logged in through Apple or direct to the magazine publisher. Have reloaded GardensIllustratedMagazine three times, still performs the same way.

Not at all what I would expect from such a great magazine.

I never subscribed but purchased several issues which I am now denied access to because I will not “create an account” allowing them to track me and sell my personal information. This was NOT part of the purchase agreement. It was only an exchange of money which I provided in good faith. Those issues belong to me. I paid for them and I should be allowed to read them or my money should be returned.

I probably won’t bother to renew do the the annoying fact that you have to sign in everytime you open GardensIllustratedMagazine .

No idea why the changed the format. It ruins the whole experience of reading a magazine.

I have two subscriptions that use Immediate Media apps: Gardeners' World and Gardens Illustrated. Both are a continuous source of annoyance. Downloaded issues routinely become unavailable and have to be downloaded again. Or, even worse, purchased again. The print issues are available before the iPad issues. After IOS 8 was released, the apps didn't work for weeks. Customer support consists of telling you to uninstall and reinstall the apps, which would mean downloading every issue from scratch. I love the magazines, but no way I am renewing my subscriptions.

GardensIllustratedMagazine crashes and locks up to point you can't view any magazines or even access their support. Deleted and started over to re download purchased issues. Takes a long time and now app has frozen again. I am not starting over and am canceling subscription. Totally worthless. Others get right.

Latest update has bugs. Crashes every time I tap on subscription heading (come on, I want to renew my subscription!)The horizontal viewing is gone and the issue download time is so slow! While I love GI magazine, I am not happy with the latest app update. Please fix!

The articles are great. Trying to read them on my iPhone 6Plus isn’t. I’d like to see a version I can read on a Microsoft Surface Pro.

I purchased a single magazine to see what it was like and ended up receiving a continuous subscription for which I have been continuously charged as far as I can see. I contacted GardensIllustratedMagazine creators by email and by phone to correct this problem but no one contacted me back. I believe I am still being charged for an unending subscription which I'm not using and have been unable to cancel it. To the creators, if you get this message, please contact me back to correct this problem. Thank you for your help.

Even though I subscribe to the very expensive print edition of this magazine, if I want a digital copy, I must pay extra.....a lot extra....for each digital copy. I know of no other magazine which charges for both. It is ridiculous. Too bad, because it is an excellent magazine. Just needs to join the 21st century!

This is a great magazine, but the online version is the only online magazine for me that does not load well. GardensIllustratedMagazine hangs up, locks up, and is frustrating to the point I do not read the magazine. Great when it works..

Truly great magazine and online version is nice. A bit more interactive content would seal the deal.

If you enjoy gardening this is an excellent magazine and well worth the subscription.

I subscribe to 5 garden magazines. Gardens Illistrated is my favorite.
My one complaint is that I can’t get it in landscape. It is so much easier to read when you can turn the phone sideways and read whole sentences in print large enough to see.

Even though I am in the States and this magazine is based out of the UK, it is a must read for me since it offers the best garden photography for inspiration.

There is not a better magazine for those interested in plants, landscaping and gardening. The photography in particular is superb and quite beautiful. The articles are wonderfully stimulating.

Between the photos and the stories, each issue never fails to inspire me to try new things in my ever-changing garden.

This mag is absolutely inspiring. The photography is skilled, making each issue such a treat to browse. And the writing is equally pleasurable for garden-lovers. My only frustration is that many of the plants growing so beautifully in English gardens would come to a sad and sorry end in the steamy summers of America's Deep South.

Love the stories and the lovely pictures. Easy app to use. Thanks so much!

Garden Illustrated is one of the most beautiful magazines ever produced. The photographs are sensational. The rich colors and inspirational garden designs make GardensIllustratedMagazine magazine a delight to read and are matched only by the quality information. Highly recommend this to anyone but it is essential reading for all gardeners.
