Uncut Magazine Reviews

Uncut has been my favorite music mag for a long time, but finding on the shelf of the local bookstore or newsstand was always problematic. UncutMagazine was my salvation...for about three seconds. UncutMagazine rarely recognizes my subscription, and even when it does I often can't download the new issue until about 10 days after it's first available (kinda defeats the purpose of a subscription). After you download an issue, the reading experience is nothing short of awful. Each page takes about 10 seconds to render, and if you zoom in the text is often fuzzy until it renders a second time (which sometimes doesn't happen at all, so you're stuck with fuzzy text). I'm canceling my subscription and checking out the Zimio experience to see if it's any better.

You think you are getting a deal because in the US this magazine costs $10 (but you get a CD) and you can download the magazine for $4, but that would be $4 wasted. Trying to read the magazine on line is just too frustrating. Some pages are blurry and never clear up.. App frezes. If you like this magazine, and it is one of better ones, forget UncutMagazine and just buy the darn thing.

I have tried to contact tech support but they don’t answer my emails. I’m trying to open the content that says you need a subscription to read. I set up my subscription but still can’t access the content. Luckily there is a 30 day trial period. I will cancel if I don’t hear anything back.

I love the magazine. It is your typical English rock mag where, for the most part, you get a story per page. The stories are great and the type is easy to read with great photos.

I would buy back issues and subscribe to this magazine if their back issue pricing was fair. Now, with a PHYSICAL magazine, back issues cost more as time goes by because they become more rare, take up space, need to be archived, etc.

But there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHATSOEVER for these people to charge more money for DIGITAL back issues!!! It is completely outrageous over pricing, and I will not support it in any way. If they make their back issues the same $3.99 price of the current issue, then I will buy it and raise this to 5 stars.

After the latest update, I can no longer access my previously purchased iTunes subscription issues. I have gone through the Restore Purchases process multiple times with no errors reported and deleted and reinstalled UncutMagazine , but still have no access to any issues.

I love Uncut Magazine, and have been a print subscriber for years... and I had high hopes for their first foray into iPad... however, it's not quite there. The text is not optimized for the new iPad's retina display, so text is jagged. You can't easily zoom in on a page (no pinch-to-zoom) -- you have to double-tap for a zoom to occur -- and your double-tap better be quick.

I prefer to be able to pinch to zoom to my desired enlargement.

I think this will be a much better app when they update to correct these two flaws.

It used to be easy to access past purchases and but new issues. Now, however, it won’t allow for new purchases. Irritating and frustrating.

As a near 65 year old...too much repetition. Look at your covers and their related stories per annum: about 50% are the same over and over whether tied to a publicist’s tie-in to some re-issue or otherwise. Notwithstanding the attempted irony in your lead-ins there’s only so many times I can read about one’s “theories on politics and religion” (a nod there to R.D. Davies) If it weren’t for the reviews allowing this elder geezer a chance to hear what’s new out there I’d drop you like a bad habit.

And hey, for those of us who receive this rag digitally....WHERE’S MY FREE MUSIC?!?

Love & kisses.

I've been reading Uncut Magazine since it's inception. It's honestly my favorite music magazine out there. And though the electronic version looks great on the iPad, there's no navigation or TOC to get around to different parts the magazine. I hope this is something that they improve upon in the near future.

could not find the print issue locally so purchased with my iPad Air...EC interview well worth the price of the issue -- will definitely check out the rest of the magazine.

It's great to be able to get this European Magazine quickly and efficiently in America is the best thing about UncutMagazine. Content Is excellent but the presentation could be so much better with interactive opportunities. I feel that UncutMagazine could can only get better over time

I used UncutMagazine for the Byrds cover issue and found it relatively easy and fast. No complaints--the graphics are excellent, and moving through the issue was smooth. Hope it continues this way and offers a few extras not in the print format.

Excellent magazine (nothing like it here in the U.S.) and UncutMagazine works fine. Pretty good value too considering you'd have to pay $9 or $10 US per imported hard copy.

I'm glad they've ported over to the iPad. Hope they start using multi-media capabilities. Still, content is always first-rate.

App is crashing on loading, and the support link on UncutMagazine Store is not working 404 not found.

After the recent app upgrade, I started using UncutMagazine and only 4 issues restored. I have years of magazines that I lost. HELP!
UPDATE: Uncut restored all my back issues. I’m a fan again!

Uncut is great mag but UncutMagazine can drive you crazy. Recently there was an update and a years worth of issues disappeared. I’ve tried tech support and did all they suggested but still cannot access my paid for issues. What the hell kind of crap is this?!?!

I look forward to each month's issue. :c)

I bought an issue and it was missing two pages. No, I don't know how that happens either. Contacted support and they told me to redownload which I did and that did not fix either. Sooooooo, missing the first 2 pages of the cover story. Moses it hard to read. Also, it takes awhile for the page to display clearly. I like the new price though...but it'd be nice if the whole issue was there.

If you love music and want to stay current this is the mag for you. I love information on any subject of interest and UncutMagazine will fill your mind with facts and more facts about the most interesting and talented people on the planet.

Old app worked great. New app not so much.

After this update — newowner? — all downloads deleted. Restoring one issue at a time is painfully slow.

New November 2019 update wipes out your issues and problems remain after deleting and reinstalling UncutMagazine . Don’t bother contacting help email. I have not received any replies after numerous emails.

The November 2019 update completely wiped out my subscription with iTunes. None of those issues are available anymore. I’ve tried restoring 20 times to no avail. It only restores the Special issues that I previously purchased through UncutMagazine .
A complete disaster of an update. So mad!!!

I can't get this to open, even though I'm a digital subscriber.

With the new update I’ve lost all my back issues and there’s no help or support.

Trying to buy a single issue or subscribe and can’t :(.

Shuts down, freezes randomly. Very touchy, creates bookmarks as you navigate the page. Needs a lot of work.

Best on the planet !!!!
