BBC History Magazine Customer Insights

1. Waste of time really...Awful app! Wont even give you a free magazine to sample and expects you to pay up front! Even when you try to subscribe it seems to take forever to process anything! Very disappointed, have uninstalled the app!The paper magazine is great.

2. Terrible don't waste time or money!!!!!App is slow to load and sometimes it behaves a bit weird on my samsung tablet and dosen't work at all when moved to the external storage device.

3. Several months after contacting support, informing them of this, the issue still hasn't been worked on.Edit/update: 1-star elevated to 4- star (would be 5 but for the difficulty and delay) Somewhere between 48 hrs and 5 days after installing and reinstalling, this app started working and accepting my password on my Android device.

4. Frustratingly, the magazine is also available for Kindle, but can't access that as an existing subscriber.Good idea, but it does not sync with your Google Play subscription, so you have no access the the subscribers only sections.

5. Although there is a library link in the app it doesn't work and you have to go to the history extra website, where you can't view the actual magazine, very poor Overall .

6. Thank you.I have a subscription to the paper magazine and can access all the back issues etc through the website perfectly.

7. UK's BBC thinks it is so precious and unique, but I will find free alternatives in other languages: stuff in French from Canada, France, Switzerland, Belgium, French-speaking Africa.

8. The content is good though and makes it worthwhile to deal with the apps quirks.Unashamedly asks for money from the very beginning.

9. But shedding more money than I can afford for the sake of culture and learning is not what I was looking for, and there wasn't written that it isn't a free app, which is not fair play.

10. The app won't let you save to sd card so it soon fills up your storage.None of the links in the app work and there are big white spaces where there should be text, although I reinstalled it and deleted / reloaded the issue.

11. The content is very readable on a tablet, and an excellent reproduction of the hardcopy magazine.
