BBC History Magazine for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great appI enjoy reading the History magazine, but being able to read it on my ipad is the best. No more bulky magazines or books. App usually works without any problems. Thanks..Version: 3.3.37
✓ Great appFantastic site and content. My only gripe is the clunky App - for e.g., not being able to view content in landscape format. On the iPad one gets an irritating message to rotate your iPad to portrait orientation. Just a small thing - but you asked..Version: 3.10.0
✓ History magGreat mag in a user friendly format. Highly recommend it..Version: 3.3.47
✓ Excellent AppIt delivers the magazine clearly and in a readable way. It works..Version: 3.3.62
✓ Brilliant mag!I love history and have found the articles fascinating and thought-provoking. Never any problems with the app. either..Version: 3.3.48
✓ MazzaDiscovered it this year. Love it. Well written articles, covering a wide interest area and well presented. Pictures appropriate..Version: 3.3.60
✓ Best history magazine(s) and podcastI got hooked on this magazine after finding the podcasts years ago. I subscribed to the hard copy of the magazine and greatly enjoyed the contents but ran into delivery issues here in the US. I love that this app has allowed me to buy all back issues of the magazine and have them at my fingertips. The app allows access to special editions and the excellent new World Histories magazine. If you or someone you know loves the study of history, the editors of this magazine gather the best historians who provide insightful and entertaining articles about a wide variety of subjects..Version: 3.10.0
✓ Great magI really love this magazine it gives me all the info I want would recommend it to any history buff.Version: 3.1.23
✓ Great resource.I look forward to receiving my copy each month. There is always at least 2 articles which are relevant to my specific interests. They are well written, beautifully illustrated, and full of interesting facts..Version: 3.3.60
✓ Fantastic readingI always look forward to a new issue each month. Great reading old and new. Always interesting and very up to date with interactive features..Version: 3.3.59
✓ Great readHave always enjoyed reading this magazine and have done so for many years starting off in paper form and continuing through to digital form. The travel features and reviews are the best. Thanks..Version: 3.3.59
✓ Revised viewReaders who have seen my previous comments regarding this app know of my tale of losing Ipad digital copies even though I was a print subscriber. They have decided to have separate print and digital subscribers. However,this was not communicated by the publishers. Having contacted them, i was very impressed by their customer centric approach both by the publisher and digital team. The digital team is very helpful and I must commend their team leader Dan. So I have raised their rating from one star to four stars. Why not five? The back end technology they use to manage subscription accounts etc is very creaky and needs beefing up especially if they are to become a serious digital publisher. It keeps crashing and is very temperamental. I have bothered to write this because normally publishers support on other mags have been less than impressive whereas History magazine staff did an excellent job..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Assistance NeededI changed my iPad about 10 months ago. I can’t Restore My Purchases on my new iPad. Does anyone have contact details so I can resolve this. App Store and Apple Help are useless..Version: 5.6.0
✓ ExcellentBeautiful photography and illustrations. Readable history. Enlightening..Version: 3.2.31
✓ BrilliantGreat value and a fantastic read every month. I also get the free podcast as well and this is a great addition. Thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in history.. Articles are well written, illustrated and easy to read..Version: 3.2.37
✓ BBC history magazineClear fun reading on huge range of topics.Version: 3.3.63
✓ Great read, but (iPad-wise) no screen rotation?Come on guys… With such an excellent, quick history read, through your well written format, I expect a bit more. The magazine itself is lovely, well written, and maintains up-to-date facts. But where is the screen rotation!?! Sometimes my hands tire, and I would like to flip my iPad to landscape mode. Could you work on that; for the arthritic, easily tired bunch of your reading public? If you manage this, I will upgrade this to five stars!.Version: 3.16.1
✓ I love historyThis magazine is a wonder source of information about England and its history..Version: 5.5.3
✓ My first loveHistory is my first love so this magazine makes me very happy. Lots of interesting articles and pictures. Enjoy it a lot..Version: 3.3.59
✓ Love this appEasy to use I love to read on my pad my preferred magazine!.Version: 3.3.59
✓ Great History MagazineI love history; this is an amazing magazine to read. I read about the past in pieces, later I connect the dots. 👨⚕️.Version: 5.5.3
✓ EnjoyThe articles are great being about little known facts about well known people and stories about not so well known people. The app itself can be a problem as it does not always download easily.Version: 3.16.4
✓ KiethReally enjoy the quality of the product and wide breadth of the subjects covered..Version: 3.3.59
✓ Excellent content and breadth of topicsWide range of content for all interests.Version: 3.10.0
✓ Great magazineCome to magazine after years of listening to podcast. Same great quality and consistently strong content..Version: 3.11.0
✓ TryingAnnoying that it won't let me read it on my iPad yet..Version: 3.10.0
✓ Love this magazineDon't get me wrong; it's not "deep" - you won't feel like you practically earned a PhD by reading it. But it is fun and interesting and wonderful for relaxing reading. I've been reading British history as a hobby for about a quarter century now, too, yet, in this one, I'm constantly reading interesting tidbits about people and events I never knew before. Here's hoping other magazines adopt this one's idea of clicking on articles you like to get additional information. Love that!.Version: 3.3.60
✓ Diverse contentSomething for all lovers of history, whether recent or ancient..Version: 3.16.5
✓ Ms.Applause for BBC! Very well done. I love it!.Version: 3.3.60
✓ New versions never tested updateEvery time there’s a new version, there’s problems having to log back in again. This happens constantly. It never accepts my subscription number for weeks and then decides it’s going to. I don’t know if these apps are ever tested before their release to the public, but it certainly doesn’t appear so. The following day another version was released. This works fine. Panic over..Version: 8.5
✓ Love this AppGreat reading app. Just a few tweaks to get a 5 star needed. Should be able to read in Landscape Mode and read as just text. App opens quickly. Easy to find the issues you own or to see list of regular or special editions. Images are HD quality on my iPad Pro even when blown up to maximum size. And magazines are wonderfully written and displayed..Version: 3.16.5
✓ My Favourite!I don't usually review things but I really do look forward to my History Magazine and after 2 years I can say it doesn't repeat or get boring. Well Done! I also love the podcasts that go along with the articles. Thanks!.Version: 3.1.21
✓ Great app.A brilliant app - opens the door to so much first class content..Version: 3.10.0
✓ DaveyBBrilliant app, never had any problems in downloading. Great content and writing..Version: 3.16.5
✓ Love it!!Great magazine.Version: 3.2.31
✓ A nice way to learn historyWell-written and researched. Nice "digest" style with comprehensive references for further reading should the content prove to be extra interesting. I look forward to the next edition.Version: 3.3.60
✓ SuperbLove this app. The magazine is presented in such a great way and it’s easy to find long or short articled depending how much time you have. I’ve never had any problems with it all. Use on my iPad and always have something to read wherever I go..Version: 3.16.1
✓ Warning!Unexpectedly the most addictive reading. No treatment required!.Version: 5.6.4
✓ LawyerGreat magazine.Version: 3.3.59
✓ Solid UX and excellent contentThis is some of the finest history magazine content for casual reading. The app is really ambitious and does an excellent job most of the time. Two observations to warn you: each issue is enormous and takes a good wifi signal to download (not good whilst on airplanes), and the app does occasionally, and apparently randomly, forget what was downloaded forcing a reconnection to "restore purchases" and re-download the issues. Other than that frustration, this is an excellent reading experience carrying the logic of the traditional layout to the logic of fingers on a screen..Version: 3.3.59
✓ InformedThose who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat past mistakes! Illuminating and profound delivery of history! Thank you!.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Miss the crosswordLove it, just wish it still had the crossword from the print edition..Version: 1.5.0
✓ Great ReferenceGood starting point when investigating history.Version: 3.16.5
✓ Great contentAmazing articles and content covering an exceptional breadth of history. Also very good use of the technology in the interactive nature of the online magazine. Keenly awaited every month..Version: 3.3.59
✓ Always great reading!Even if you aren’t interested in History, this digital and print magazine is endlessly fascinating. Well written by experts (with impressive qualifications) but still so accessible. Era hopping from mythology to present day and everything in between, this publication has turned out to be a great favorite. So glad I subscribed. Don’t miss the (occasionally quirky) readers’ letters. Think I will gift this to my 11 year old grandson, knowing the whole family will enjoy it..Version: 5.6.7
✓ Always something of interest in every issueWell written articles and a great range of topics.Version: 3.3.60
✓ Excellent MagazineEasy to read, informative, well written and researched..Version: 3.16.5
✓ Not accessibleI love the content of this magazine and found it from the podcast, which I listen to regularly when I run. I look forward to running now and the magazine is a great supplement. The photos and images are worth it. However, I wish it had more accessibility features. At the very least, it should allow for larger font sizes for the many people with less than 20/20 vision, myself included. To be really accessible, it should work with screen readers for the blind. I tried running it on my iPad with VoiceOver turned on and it doesn't speak at all..Version: 3.3.60
✓ History MagazineAn excellent presentation and read. Constructive criticism: I would like a landscape mode option and for my social circumstances a smaller download footprint..Version: 3.3.60
✓ Great Magazine and easy to read in a digital formThis is a great magazine anyway, but I have been impressed with how easy it is to navigate in its online form. Great use of interactive "hotspots" so I have been impressed. So much so I'm thinking of getting all the back issues..Version: 3.3.60
✓ Shakespeare issueWhat I love about BBC History is a variety of perspectives and historical detail, presented in a lively way. I just love the Shakespeare 400th anniversary issue..Version: 3.3.57
✓ December issue won't load with this appApparently this app version 2.1.10 does not support the December issue of the magazine which requires 2.2.10 of the viewer software but the App Store for Australia doesn't offer that update, not sure about rest of world. Come on get it sorted, an industry app that doesn't open the dedicated publication.... What's that about?.Version: 2.1.10
✓ History in the Time of COVIDDuring this time of isolation and distancing, I find reading articles about history a very rewarding activity. I highly recommend this journal..Version: 5.6.4
✓ My favorite magazineEvery month I await the nest issue of this magazine. I'm SO glad it's now available in digital, I used to go down to the newsstand to obtain it. Then I even rebought the ones I had in hard copy, so I would have them all on my tablet! A really nice magazine, with tons of interesting articles. The illustrations are great too. My favorite magazine, I wish I lived in the U.K. So I could go to those cool looking day trips/happenings they talk about. Well, maybe one day I can visit:)!.Version: 3.3.60
✓ Highly recommendedGreat content. Broad spectrum of articles. Easy to read and navigate on iPad..Version: 3.3.60
✓ I wish they would stop changing it...I love the magazine and bought it in its physical form for years. Now I do it this way. Thing is, I had lots of them downloaded and now I have to download them all again if I want to read them (since they changed the app). And some of the ones I had, I can no longer find. My download speed is not that fast, so it's a pain in the *%^# to do. I was thinking of subscribing to another couple but not convinced I should now....Version: 2.1.10
✓ OutstandingThis is a remarkable compendium of historical issues with a British focal point. It's informative, accurate and yet entertaining - never boring! We look forward each month to the e-copy for stimulation and also to savouring the hard copy a few days later. Thanks for all your contributions and hard work - it really works for my wife and me. David E C Huggins.Version: 3.1.16
✓ Excellent content and the app works well so farReading a magazine page format on a phone screen is awkward though...would be nice if it was laid out for easier reading on small screens..Version: 3.10.0
✓ Fine content for its subject areaI have been a subscriber from issue number 1 and I moved over to the digital version as soon as it was offered. The content is great and for a long time the digital implementation was not at the level it should have been. That is no longer the case though some may find some of the digital tricks they employ are a bit over the top. That said they do not get in the way of the content.Version: 3.3.57
✓ Great MagazineGreat articles in an easy to use app. Had no issues so far..Version: 3.3.62
✓ Love it!Best history mag I've read! It has such a broad range of topics, there is something for everyone. The articles are written brilliantly and I'm finding that areas of history that I've never been really interested in are now being read eagerly! I highly recommend this mag to anyone who likes history! Jodie Pearson.Version: 3.3.48
✓ ExcellentI love this app. It is easy to access and handy to read on the go. Highly recommended..Version: 3.16.1
✓ Love this magazine👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.Version: 5.6.7
✓ Easy to readA very good magazine, well laid out and easy to read..Version: 3.1.23
✓ ExcellentSimply the best History mag on the market bar none. Top notch..Version: 3.16.1
✓ A keeper, but could be betterI got the trial subscription and will keep it, at least for a year. The content is interesting and well laid out, but I expected better. On the technical side, I really wish you included landscape mode as it’s really awkward holding an iPad in portrait mode. While I found the articles in the one issue I’ve read interesting, they’re pretty shallow. I read all of them in a little over an hour. I wish you included at least one article that was more like a meal than an appetizer..Version: 3.16.5
✓ Update has improved everythingI have to say before the update to the app to optimise for iPhones I didn’t use the app for that exact reason. You’ve brought me back in because it’s so easy to use and it’s now a joy to use the app. Thanks dev team for the great update! P.S. Would be great to see a dark mode enabled if possible.Version: 5.6.1
✓ ExcellentAn informative, objective and entertaining magazine. I look forward to each issue..Version: 3.13.0

✓ Great MagazineGreat magazine, wonderful in depth articles. Well worth the subscription..Version: 3.15.0
✓ My favourite History MagazineI'm such a history buff and this magazine feeds my addiction beautifully!.Version: 3.3.60
✓ The VictoriansIn its own way, it was the end of history and like a great fireworks display,the finale was a massive crescendo. The Victorians fascinate us. Plying out the end game of Empire, their behaviour under a microscope is a voyeurs dream.Version: 3.3.60
✓ Love This MagazineLike several other reviewers, I find that I really look forward to each month's issue. The recent promotion that offered past issues for a reduced rate was terrific and I took the opportunity to fill-in all the back issues that I was missing. As an American student of history and one who has traveled and worked professionally in England, I am always intrigued by British interpretations of not only their history--but ours as well. The special issue focusing on our Civil War is a prime example. I have not experienced any of the technical problems that frustrated some earlier reviewers. Apparently the latest update corrected most -if not all - of them..Version: 3.3.59
✓ This app is an amazing way to learn history... Even for an American.I don't live in the UK but I have always been fascinated by European history. I got this app so I can learn in an interesting way and get off social media for a little bit. I would definitely recommend this app to a friend that likes history..Version: 3.16.1
✓ Informative and entertainingThe History Magazine is informative but not dry. The writing, illustrations and interactives are a pleasure to delve into..Version: 3.3.59
