Was referred to subscribe today via the BHG website to purchase a digital subscription. After working out what app I needed to view my subscription I could not create an account. I went to ‘mag shop’ as per the apps instructions to make an account however after doing this i still could not log in. After hours of frustration I am giving up and requesting a refund as I still have not been able to log into the app, download my magazine subscription or even view my subscription.
A big fan but have been left really disappointed BHG.

Avoid this subscription & just buy the paper copies, they will take your money & then delete your purchases after 15 months, I had multiple purchases but can only access the one purchased in oct 17, all previous purchases are no longer available to download.
Don’t try & contact them as they do not respond to queries.

Version 4.10.10
It looks as though I am experiencing the same issue as other users. After a regular Apple update 2 years ago I no longer have access to my subscription magazines. I have done all that is required but have unsuccessfully downloaded any of my past magazines & have never had access since. It’s also a shame as prior to the update I had no issues with the app and always had access to my subscription. Now what I am experiencing is having to sign in or restore each time I open the app and no magazine access. I am really disappointed as this has been the same problem over 2 years now. I forgot to cancel my subscription last year so was automatically charged for an app I can’t use... Please resolve as it looks like there are many users having the same issue.

Version 4.10.10
I subscribe to the digital version of Better Home and Gardens and pay biaApple. April’s edition has been released but I cannot access the subscribe buttons to make my purchase. I have tried turning my iPad off and on again and deleted the app and reinstalled, both to no avail. Now the app is crashing. I am disappointed because I enjoy the magazine and get a lot of design and cooking ideas from it. This is the first time I have encountered this and am asking for support to resolve this issue. Thanks. Janine.

Folks you need to work harder to keep up with iOS upgrades. I cNnot access my magazines I have PAID for because your app crashes. Please lift your game so consumers are not adversely affected. I’m sure it’s against consumer rights that you suspend our access by not maintaining your app and this is the only avenue to access. Thank you. I looked the content of the magazine.

My subscription ran out after the November 2018 issue, BHG rang me to ask if I wanted to renew and I told them no but they take money out of my account every month and I receive no magazine, I’ve tried to unsubscribe but everything is greyed out and won’t let me do anything, I’ve tried reporting the problem but I get no response, no star rating from a very irate loyal past customer.

We purchased a year subscription (wrong decision), after 4 months the app says we need to pay for the next issue. Contacted helpline, what joke, they told me to delete the app and reinstall it. I did that and reinstalled previous issues, no change in problem. Response from phone support “sorry cannot fix the problem contact head office “. Buyer beware

How do I get a refund on my pre-October 2016 issues please?

I even threw out the hard copies that I had to save space as it never occurred to me that you would take away our access to these. I am really missing them but given how long this problem has been going on for I have lost any hope that you are actually going to fix it. I paid a lot of money for all of those pre-October 2016 issues (including special editions) and would like a refund now please.

Version 4.10.9
I reported the issue of loss of all magazines previous to October 2016. Today I downloaded the latest magazine but all previous magazines have disappeared again and require require redownloading. These issues were reported months ago. I cannot give this magazine any star rating as the issues are long term and ongoing.
A developer response that you are working on the issue is not good enough after this period of time. The developer needs to communicate what the problem is and give a reasonable time frame during which it will be fixed. If not fixed in that time then compensation should be offered.

Still not happy after downloading all previous magazines and using all my download I find today that it is asking again for me to download the same magazines. So not only do I have to pay for a subscription that doesn’t work I have to download every magazine any time I want to read one I have previously paid for.
WARNING DO NOT USE THIS APP ITS A RIP OFF
Update has made the app lose all my magazines I have purchased now asking for payment and asking me to purchase subscription which has only just been renewed not happy to say the least have canceled my auto renewal subscription to this and others magazines we should be refunded our subscription but I won’t be holding my breath

This app should not be available until it is functional. The digital version of Better Homes and Gardens is not made available until week’s after the print version is released.
The poor staff at Pacific Magazines acknowledge the problem but have no solutions - don’t bother emailing - you will get no response.
I had no problems with the app when it was under the Pocket Mags umbrella. Luckily I bought my subscription through the App Store and Apple have refunded my subscription since the app does not provide what it is supposed to.
Until this is sorted I will go back to the print version.
Very disappointed!

Would give NO Stars if I could - it's worse than bad!

The overhaul of the app is terrible. It takes forever to download an issue whereas it used to be quick and now even after you download it it can be really grainy while the page opens properly which also takes ages. Features like being able to pin things to Pinterest are gone. It crashes far too often. The previous version was great, why did you take such a massive step backwards!?

I have now cancelled the renewal on my subscription- there is no option for me to download the content without paying again - not happening. Thanks for nothing. Let’s hope you fix this or refund.

I don’t think this will happen if you don’t renew my subscription as the iTunes subscriptions have already been paid.
