Quiltmaker Magazine Reviews

by Down With Zinnio

I loved having all of my magazines in one easy to access and portable place. Now, half of my issues are missing. I renewed my subscription only to be able to access NOTHING! Never again.

Still hating QuiltmakerMagazine. Buy the paper copy.

No matter how many times I open/close or delete/reload QuiltmakerMagazine , I can't get any of my purchases to load. Just sits there-- doesn't even seem to connect to wifi to attempt to reload.

After update lost all issues. And can not access my subscription, don’t update if you don’t want to loose the magazines

by Quilt Magazine

Can no longer print patterns or templates. I paid for a digital subscription and I expected to have an exact copy of the magazine. So far Quiltmaker, McCalls and Primative magazines are all the same. I will not be renewing this subscription

I’ve subscribed to this magazine online only because technology is supposed to be so great. Space saving and take it with you when you go on vacation easier. Well for Quilters these magazines are not just reading material that we chuck when we are done. They are patterns we are working on that take months sometimes to complete. It is extremely upsetting when you go back to look at your patterns and they are gone! I have had 4 magazines now that are either gone or I need to repurchase. All because the magazines are being updated by a new online company. Why do the consumers have to lose all that money? Quilt Magazine, Quiltmaker, Quilting Quickly and McCalls Quilting also an Embroidery Magazine. All run now by Zinio. Hundreds of dollars gone. Quilts started that I will have to figure my way through to finish. I’m so glad you all made this so easy for us...Not!

Since QuiltmakerMagazine was updated, it crashes as soon as I open QuiltmakerMagazine . I have deleted it and the re-downloaded it and it still crashes.

Ever since QuiltmakerMagazine update I can’t get any issues! Even if I buy the current issue, it still won’t appear. Either fix it or refund my subscription fees (several years’ worth).

App is non-productive. I purchased a yearly subscription and have not been able to download any of the issues. I would not recommend this digital magazine. Upset my money was wasted

I really love this magazine, but I am totally unable to get the magazine using this new app. The old one totally worked for me. I know there’s no help from writing a bad review, but I feel better having vented. I’ll keep trying.

I’m paying for a subscription I cannot use. All of my back issues are not restored. I cannot access current issues either. Very frustrated. I love this magazine but am seriously considering canceling my subscription.

by Renunk

I have tried multiple times to access magazines that I have purchased and still cannot access them. Grrr.

Can not access my already purchased issues. NOT HAPPY. Have several years of back issues that I can not access.
I just renewed my subscription and now can now get any issues.
Better fix this.

It doesn’t do much good to have a digital issue when you can’t print any of the patterns. The older app worked perfectly and patterns were easy to download and print.

Since there is no print function, those included at the back of the magazine can’t be printed and those that were previously accessed via a link no longer have a link so aren’t available at all. .

If you go to the archive to access older issues, the names of the issues show up, but they do not load.

This is unacceptable.

Disappointing! Page is there for a moment then greys over half. Thought this was because the page is still loading but can't be since its there for a moment then gone. Waste of money imho until this is made more user friendly

by Skyspiritrider

I have back issues which won’t restore, no matter which section of QuiltmakerMagazine I use. I have tried everything but it still won’t restore. I am canceling my subscription in iTunes, since I won’t pay for something that doesn’t work. I will never buy another digital magazine from this publisher or use another Zinio app! ZERO STARS.

by Reached Max Toleration

App is terrible. I’m unable to access my past issues that I’ve previously downloaded into my library. Digital copies are not available and should always be available since I have purchased the permanent digital copy! When is this going to be corrected? This new version makes it impossible to use the magazine to create!

by Dona's Crafts

Paid for digital for a year. Have been a user with lots of back issues that I now have unfinished projects for. Now can not access any of them. I have done all that is possible with no luck. A lot of money has been wasted. I would rate a -10 if I could.

QuiltmakerMagazine will work if you get a zinio login and use that as your digital subscriber info for the magazines. All of my purchases came back. Wish QuiltmakerMagazine developer made this clearer. Hope this helps.

I know the hard copy is good. Disappointed in digital. Bought to read when I have no wifi. Fat chance only can read the first 10 pages 4 of which are contents and such. Go get a real copy!! Save your money.

By far, the absolute best magazine for quilting. I love that I can save the templates from the quilts, put them in my PDF files in iBooks, and print them out. The quilts are always inspiring and easy to follow. Just love this magazine!!! And yes, it is worth paying for a subscription.
