Almanac Extra! Reviews

by Shel Too

I am on the latest IOS and cannot get a single magazine to load. I see them but after tapping it goes to blank pages. I let the October issue load but started to read it and it went blank. Deleted AlmanacExtra and reinstalled and restarted twice. No luck. We were very disappointed as we thought the yearly electronic version would be more up to date then the once a year printing. Perhaps some bug fixes should be released to go with the current IOS otherwise this is the same as burning a ten dollar bill. And much more frustrating.

It is an odd app - and not entirely clear how to use. But content loading is abysmal, on a fast network. At 40+% after an hour, I gave up and just deleted AlmanacExtra . It isn't interesting enough to be worth the hassle.

...With an earlier review below, this is merely an update. The March issue is not yet here. Something is amiss now for certain....

...

I have been a subscriber, receiving the monthly Almanac Extra! (with a yearly subscription) since 2016, and while it is not as in-depth as the Farmer’s Almanac (digitally or in paper form) it has been a nice digital magazine to have and enjoy up until January 2020.

There was no new release of a magazine (digitally) in January 2020 until the last week and that was for February 2020. Mid way through February, January 2020 was available. Now it is March and no March issue.

There seems to be no way to contact Yankee Publishing Inc, the developers of AlmanacExtra, thus no way of determining the problem.

What was a useful tool, quick to the points and subject matters, has become useless, since it is not available for the corresponding months.

I will give this another month or so, hoping that this problem is addressed somehow, otherwise, if not, I will cancel my subscription, although no refunds will be provided.

At this time, if you are looking for an addition to the Farmer’s Almanac, I recommend this one is passed by...

Should not mislead by offering AlmanacExtra for free but then have to subscribe and pay for the information. Waste of time, deleted.

I just downloaded AlmanacExtra but when I took a look at the available issues there weren’t any for January 2022 showing yet. And it doesn’t look like all the previous issues for months and years are there either. I don’t want to subscribe to something that isn’t kept up to date. Thanks but no thanks.

I too just joined and it said we would we be able to see past issues of the “Extra” magazine. With what I paid for this, all I can see is they now want more money from me. I will call tomorrow and see about this “ free” Extra that they advertised. I might want my money refunded!!

I have an IPhone and downloaded AlmanacExtra after paying for the membership. It worked the days I downloaded it, but now it just vanishes and I am back on home screen.

A one year subscription was purchased a few months back. All was fine. Now nothing a blank screen flashes and then it’s back to my home screen.

When I slide down to continue an article, AlmanacExtra crashes.

I subscribed to AlmanacExtra in October 2020 expecting to be able to read a new issue each month. Once the November issue appeared as available for download I tried to open it. Whenever I click on the November issue, it automatically loads the October issue instead. I have tried removing the October issue from my device, and I have tried removing and re-installing AlmanacExtra , neither of which resolved the issue. I am sorry to write a review instead of contacting AlmanacExtra developers directly about this issue, but I could not find anywhere to contact. I hope this issue can be resolved and I can receive all of the issues I subscribed to, as I really like the content. If a resolution can be made I will change this rating.

The content was minimal, and not what I expected for a product of this kind. I was expecting a lot more for the purchase.

This is a wonderful magazine and a great reference tool and such a nice gift from tractor supply to give to neighbor club members. I have noticed several people saying that this was supposed to be a free subscription but everything is paid only, however these people are not reading the directions that were sent to them on how to subscribe for their free subscription. It appears that way at first but then when you actually go into my account and enter the email address that is on file with tractor supply that you received the invitation with, when you go back into the main section you will see that you can download several of the previous issues, and if you click on your account again, it no longer asks for email but now tells you when your subscription expires. For example I can now download several months of issues along with several free issues and when I click on my account it now Says my subscription expires February 2019. Just trying to help and thank you again to tractor supply

This is one of the best apps I've found! Great information and beautiful presentation! I love the fact that I could buy 1 subscription and download it free for my smartphone as well. The iPad and smartphone each have the same info, but designed differently for each device. Easy to read and a great way to share or save the recipes!

If you want the subscription you have to follow the instructions in the email...under my account in the farmer's almanac app you type your email that you got that said you got a free subscription and then you'll see all the 2017 magazines available to download if you click categories/my issues. :)
