Dwell Magazine Reviews

by Hedgepig5

I subscribed to dwell, both print and electronic, via their website. I expected to mostly read the magazine on my iPad. However, I cannot log in to my account on DwellMagazine . Therefore I cannot view the magazine on my iPad. I have initiated help requests 3 times, and all three times have gotten the same canned response from “Vikas Kadam” telling me to enter my subscriber info (account number, account number&ZIP, mailing address). But nowhere in DwellMagazine is there the option to enter this info. When I pointed this out to “Vikas” I was asked for my email address. And then ghosted.

Clearly DwellMagazine is a scam and not an actual working app. Dwell knows this, but sells subscriptions that include “all-platform” access anyway.

Cancelling my subscription and asking for a refund and deleting DwellMagazine .

I would prefer a Dwell+ app than a digital magazine subscription.

I prefer to give you no stars, but that is not an option. I subscribed to both print and online editions. Online version does not work and limits me to 5 minutes. I have called customer service 3 days ago without a reply. I guess I was expecting a bit more in both product and service. May I have my money refunded, please.

You can’t actually link your Dwell subscription to DwellMagazine if you signed up online using Facebook login. In fact, you can’t sign into DwellMagazine at all... and the website doesn’t allow you to unlink your Facebook account so that you can sign in the other way, rendering DwellMagazine unusable.

Paying for a subscription but can’t login into my account through the DwellMagazine . Just says “something went wrong” with no further options. Extremely frustrating.

I subscribed with dwell+ over the web via sign in with google. This login method doesn’t even exist on DwellMagazine so it’s unusable for me, and get an error when trying to sign in with my gmail email.

Despite a log in option, one cannot use DwellMagazine if you’ve already paid for a standard Dwell subscription. Thus, not a usable app.

Unable to access newly bought all Access subscription on app while husband can on two devices.

Something is seriously wrong with DwellMagazine, one cannot login with the exact same login that I use on my web browser to see dwell+ articles, I'm also a physical magazine subscriber.

So DwellMagazine is useless and apparently does not have the proper support to fix it, complaints have been ongoing here for sometime and it's not addresses. It's interesting because the new ceo of dwell magazine wants to move away from the physical magazine and push for electronic content - thus why dwell+ was created (don't get me started on how that was unfair to existing physical magazine subscribers), so one would think that the "dwell app" would work.

Have a Dwell+ subscription ($50) but can’t log in... Deleted it and have to now log in on webpage.

If you subscribe to the magazine you’ll need to subscribe to this separately. Very disappointment.

I originally set up my account with google login and now I can’t log into DwellMagazine at all, even after resetting my password. DwellMagazine also errors out when I try to contact customer service. Love Dwell, but DwellMagazine isn’t there yet.

But sometimes I feel it’s developed/marketed to a clientele richer than Ill ever be, and after subscribing for a year, I feel like they are constantly trying to charge me again, to see issues from the past (7.99 a copy, what? ). Maybe if I win the lottery I’ll renew.

by Croc310

Easy to navigate. But the "grab" function doesn't seem to work for me. Regardless,I always look forward to the next issue.

by Infinite0009

Please update your app cause I’m having trouble getting the library icon on DwellMagazine to go back to my past purchases to look at other magazines other then the newest edition of the magazine....please fix this problem and update DwellMagazine or something.....I’ve never really had any problems with it before and was pleased, but still DwellMagazine could be a little bit better...peace

by Thelmore

I love the creatively of this magazine

by BlueBlackBlue

Much improved!

by Evie Duggan

Seems like they’ve relaunched and I couldn’t be more excited. Loving the new and improved experience.

by Eeniezee

DwellMagazine works flawlessly! Have loved Dwell for years—thrilled to be able to access the mag from my phone.

by Acers Boanergers

Very creative material. So flourishing.

by Douglas Quist

DwellMagazine is useless... Does not remain current. Does not update subscription with update. Does not restore previously downloaded issues.... Sadly you're better off sticking with paper... Again, cannot reiterate enough, do not waste your time.

by MnJandy

I am not going to pay twice. I'd like the apnifni could access the info on my phone with my current dwell subscription.

by Sharpdart

As of Dec 2016, I am no longer receiving monthly issues from the Dwell Media LLC app. Both DwellMagazine Store and Dwell magazine cannot help (both refer me to the other). Go through Dwell magazine directly and skip DwellMagazine Store to avoid any issues.

by Shanv2

I have been a loyal Dwell subscriber for years and every other magazine I subscribe to supports an iPad subscription option for free or additional price. Sadly Dwell requires an entirely separate full-priced subscription on iPad.

Get with the times!

by Wastenotwantgreen

I’ve had a subscription to Dwell for years. I lost my Kindle today and am in the airport, wishing I could read Dwell from my phone as an alternative. Nope. DwellMagazine is useless unless you want to buy a 2nd subscription.

by Lem925

Paid for the subscription and I got one issue. Now the newest issue isn’t delivered and my previous one is gone. Do you even read these ratings, Dwell? Because I see you have horrible reviews for DwellMagazine! Do you care?

by L;akjdhf;ldkjldfsakj

If you purchase a a print subscription there is no way to access the digital version. Spent an hour on the phone with Dwell and was told to “call Apple”. Looking at reviews, this is an old issue, wish that I had known.

by NotwatchinLondonGames

I pay for a full access Dwell+ and print. Yet I’m expected to pay full price in DwellMagazine for any content? I’m pretty confused why DwellMagazine was created with such poor features. Please create a version that allows users to log into existing accounts.

by MisterGSF

There is no point in getting the digital version because Dwell hasn't done anything to make it a better experience. In fact, it's much harder to read and a less enjoyable experience. You can tell they put no effort into it. It's just another income stream. Ironic for a magazine all about design and living.

by BrooklynRick

Does anyone read this? Bought the subscription on my iPad but cannot get anything to show up on my iPhone. Click on the support link and it goes to a broken page.

Update: finally got magazine to load and the 'app' basically is just lo resolution scans of the magazine. I regret buying this subscription, should have just bought the magazine.

by ChrisYoungPR

We have subscribed for years - since it was in a larger format. I would prefer to received it on my iPad, but until Dwell polishes the application I'll have to stay with the paper.

by Morningview12

I think I've watched about 2 or 3 issues go by in newsstands and I still am not offered new editions in DwellMagazine . I think I'm gonna cancel the subscription and either try a different app or buy it in stores.

by Wynn

I can't seem to retire my subscription after this latest updated. Uninstalled and reinstalled DwellMagazine several times with no luck! Please fix this issue.

by Derek49

Not sure who the culprit is but Dwell isn't working in landscape mode. Aggravating. Has been fine until these updates. There was, previously, something a little funky between portrait and landscape and the way features were foreshadowed differently and separately from the entire article. But overall a terrific app. Is there no testing before release anymore?!
