AFAR Magazine Reviews

by SteveSUSA

App update deletes all downloaded issues and then doesn’t allow you to access those issues (even though you’ve already paid for them). It’s so bad that even with a current subscription you can’t access the current issue. Totally insane situation. Unfortunately AFAR customer service is clueless about their own app :-(

Previous issues operated like a pdf - not ideal, but I at least get to read the magazine. Last issue did not allow zooming and was missing several pages - the most egregious example: page 115 to 119 to 127. I have deleted AFARMagazine and re-downloaded it to no effect. Not pleased.

No way to log in if you have a print subscription and last app update was over a year ago. This should be removed from AFARMagazine Store honestly.

Love this magazine but it is a waste to buy it for an iPhone. The ZOOM option doesn't exist so unless you want to read the articles with a microscope... it is a complete waste of your 20 bucks.

The only magazine that I bought twice and I still do not have access, despite restoring purchases, reinstalling and praying to the gods of iTunes subscriptions and IP protection. Well, I suppose I have to give up trying.

I paid for an issue although AFARMagazine promised I'd get a free one; neither one has ever loaded. A great let-down from an otherwise good publication.

I already have a print subscription to AFAR but I cannot get to the digital versions. Really? In this day and age? Fix this!

In 2017, it's not acceptable to fail to provide access to a digital version to your print subscribers.

I really hate this.
I do not know, this is my iPad's (version 4) problem or this application.

I recently purchased a two-year print subscription to AFAR magazine. But, apparently you do not get a digital subscription with the print subscription. I downloaded AFARMagazine and it will not allow me to create an account or login using my current subscription information. I am only allowed to subscribe again or pay for individual issues. Why should I pay twice?

When I downloaded AFARMagazine I was looking forward to having the option of reading AFAR on my iPad, as I can do with every other magazine I subscribe to. However, customer service informed me that AFAR had so plans to include digital access with a print subscription. So I immediately deleted AFARMagazine. DISAPPOINTING!

I enjoy the magazine AFAR, so I was interested in AFARMagazine. The note with AFARMagazine mentioned "in-app purchases" but AFARMagazine was free. Turns out, AFARMagazine is just a way to seek you a subscription - THAT is the "in-app purchase." Nothing else is available in AFARMagazine as far as I could see, just the opportunity to purchase a subscription. Grr. I deleted it.

I will echo what so many others have stated. I love Afar and pay for a print subscription, so it's outrageous that they'd expect me to pay twice for digital access. I've lost some respect for the publication because of this.

Very disappointed in AFAR! I have been a print subscriber for years, and yet you want me to pay again for digital. Foolish. And irritating. You have a frustrated customer now.

by Speedsingle

Every magazine I subscribe to I can read on line for no additional cost. Why would AFAR think anyone would pay twice?

Love the content of this magazine, but in the latest issue I am no longer able to zoom in on the pages, which for practical purposes makes it impossible for me to read the content on my iPhone.

App is great; the magazines are beautiful and informative.
