iPhone Life Reviews

by Suppkrt?

I purchased this magazine recently and it’s a complete waste of money. Having issues opening the magazine. The only email I get back is contact Apple we can’t find your subscription. Both Apple and my Bank say all is paid for and is ok on their end. Already unsubscribed. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your money on this it’s not worth it.

I subscribed through the iTunes Store. When I got a new iPad, I tried to restore the subscription. It didn’t work. After discussing with iTunes they indicated to pick up with support from app. I emailed and started to explain problem but then they went silent on me

Good articles bring you in to iPhoneLife (they dont tell you it cost money) , then iPhoneLife doesnt manage them well with all bugs and missteps mentioned. now it appears they have abandoned their subscribers with a "take the money and run" strategy and it's difficult to unsubscribe. This gives Apple a bad name!!

I have subscribed to the magazine for over 5 years and have had poor results with requests. I use a local library service to access the magazine. It is free.

They make it hard to unsubscribe.

After looking over available issues of "iPhone Life", I decided to subscribe. I was most interested in the current July/August 2012 issue, and figured the extra $ would be worth paying for a year's worth of issues.
Instead of getting access to the July/August issue, I was told the only current issue I could download was the "Special" July issue devoted to travel, which is a lot cheaper, and probably a lot smaller, and of little interest to me. I contacted the publisher, and was told I could only get the latest issue with my subscription, and would have to pay full price to get the July/August full issue. Last time I checked, August comes AFTER July, but I gues they are used to customers just giving up.
After being politely informed by email that I had no recourse, I have contacted iPhoneLife store for a full refund, but hold out little hope. "PixelMags", or whatever the publisher is called, was unable/unwilling to refund my subscription. I may be stuck with the "bait and switch", but you don't have to be. They may "love to hear from you", but don't seem as equally enamored with supporting thier customers!

Downloaded app. Paid for subscription, then was redirected to another app named Zinio, which required me to register separately, but does not recognize my paid subscription. Even the iPhone Life app still wants me to make in-app purchases for each issue. What a joke! How can they claim to represent Apple's philosophy of elegant user experience. Let my story keep you from wasting $12 and thirty minutes of your life.

UPDATE: I downgraded from 2 stars to one. The Zinio app doesn't even offer iPhone Life. The only way I can see my digital subscription is to click on the link in an email I get from Zinio on behalf of iPhone Life. KEEP YOUR SANITY. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE PRINTED VERSION DELIVERED BY SNAIL MAIL.

Great content and articles, but two issues with delivery. First, the magazine does not remember the page I stopped reading at. Second, when turning pages, the hyperlinks on the page appear momentarily highlighted yellow and then go away. Distracting...

Other than the two above issues, content is excellent.

I've had a subscription to this Magazine for the last 2 years and received a new issue every 2 months. The new cover says spring, so I'm assuming they dropped from 6 issues a year to 4 with quarterly releases. Had I known that I wouldn't have subscribed. This will be my last year subscribing to iPhone life magazine.

Love the magazine. But how can you read it offline? It downloads but when wifi off can't open the magazine. Please advise. Pointless having a magazine you can't read offline when traveling.

This a most informative and enlightening magazine. I will buy it again, iPhoneLife , however, is ok but it is quite buggy, ie. freezes every time an add loads, freezes when if I zoom on a page to read it, then back out. Would love if if they could get all the bugs out, this would be an amazing app.

I love this magazine and look forward to receiving my magazines when they are uploaded to my iPhone and iPad. I like how the staff tells readers their favorite apps to use on a daily basis etc. The tips, tricks, and how-to really helps in this ever changing and growing world we live in.

iPhone Life magazine offers an entertaining way to find out all the ways you can use your iPhone and iPad to make your life better.

Don't listen to all the bad reviews! This magazine has great content. The ads have given me new places to get accessories. I love the information and they frequently publish stuff from readers. Glad it is in the newsstand!

Thank you for fixing the offline downloading bug from before. Now i can read my issues even if i don't have a internet connection. Keep up the good work. :-)

Ive had iPhoneLife for a while now and really like it. There are plenty of great articles that help me make the most of my iPhone. I also has some pretty good app suggestions. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to have an interesting tech-ish read.

I use my iPhone Life app all the time. It has worked and continues to work quite well for me, on any iDevice I own, though my favorite way to view the magazine is on my larger iPad. Whether keeping up with all the latest Apple news and product updates or finding out about all the latest awesome apps and gear, iPhone Life is where I get the majority if my Apple iDevice news. iPhone Life is one of the best sources for iDevice related current event info and news. I highly recommend it and would suggest anyone who appreciates good writing and the Apple brand do them selves a favor and check out iPhoneLife . I also subscribe to the iPhone Life newsletter and find that to be a great way to get timely weekly updates on all things iOS in my inbox.

I've been reading the magazine since it first came out. I was curious how it would be reading it on my iPad. It works well. I bought the current issue, their Buyers Guide, and found it a great convenience to be able to simply tap to immediately download an app that interests me. Same thing for the ads. You can click on the URL to get more information or buy the product. One of the ads even had an integrated video. I found iPhoneLife navigation to be intuitive and responsive. Certainly it's very attractively done, and an exact replica of the magazine. Tapping the screen brings up a carousel of thumbnail images of the pages, so that you can quickly jump around in the magazine. A drop down menu gives you a table of contents. I wish there were a way to quickly jump back to the replica table of contents. It seems like that would have been the most intuitive, but that's probably simply because I'm so acclimated to reading print magazines. Overall, it's very professionally done, and a great option for reading the magazine.

iPhoneLife is in danger of being booted from iPhoneLife Store, as it hasn’t received an update in more than THREE years. It’s hard to believe that a magazine that focuses on all things iPhone would abandon their own app.

If you aren’t going to maintain your app and optimize it for the newest iPhones, why have an app at all?!

This looks horrendous on iPhone X and newer devices!
