Imbibe Magazine for Negative User Reviews
✓ Fix ThisPlease fix your app. I purchased this in hopes that the reviews were exaggerated. However, all the reviews are correct that this is not user friendly. I am disappointed as a customer that there has not been a response to these complaints. Work on it..Version: 4.2.4
✓ Worst subscription everDigital subscription is not immediately. It’s been close to a week after the purchase and they say the payment hasn’t been posted so content will not be ready to show ok the account. My credit card has been already charged. They keep telling me after a week I will be able maybe to se the content.Version: 4.2.6
✓ Beyond FrustratingThe login process, after paying for a subscription, is mind-numbing, nonsensical, and nonfunctional. Navigating the actual app feels like a decade old website. I will be asking for the $5 extra I paid for digital access to be refunded. AWFUL..Version: 4.2.6
✓ Can’t log inI enter my imbibe account credentials and nothing happens. Still says I’m not logged in and have no active subscription. Paying for a digital subscription I can’t read it looks like..Version: 4.2.3
✓ Does Not WorkApp doesn't open in ios8.Version: 4.7
✓ CrashLove that magazine but the app does not open anymore :(.Version: 4.7
✓ Not sure what Imbibe is thinkingThis app on both the iphone and ipad is horribly maintained and the process of “logging in” as a subscriber is probably the worst experience I’ve ever had on a subscription-based app. The hard copy of this magazine is quite possibly a great joy, but considering the app seems to lose my login every few weeks and then Imbibe randomly changes my password every single login and then sends it to me in email after the fact - it’s impossible to tell at any given moment if I will actually be able to read an issue of Imbibe on any iDevice. Do yourself a favor and just skip this app and subscribe to the magazine if you’re an industry pro..Version: 4.2.3
✓ No way to login or create account in ios versionHas anyone at imbibe tried to use the ios app? There is no way to create a login profile, no help, no contact us. I guess I'll just post here for the world to see...fix the app!.Version: 4.6
✓ Big disappointmentI have had a print subscription to this mag since its inception. I can't believe I would have to pay to read it on my phone! Boo!.Version: 2.5.8
✓ Won’t log in my subscriptionThe app allows me to register my print subscription, and recognizes that I do, in fact, have a print subscription. But once I “Log In”, the app doesn’t recognize that I’m logged in, and requires me to purchase individual issues to view them..Version: 4.2.3
✓ Zoom Not Good EnoughThe zoom does not go all the way in to "column-width" or further, making the text quite small and difficult, if not impossible, to read on the iPhone. Probably not so bad on the iPad, but I wouldn't know since I don't have one. I would subscribe if it was readable on iPhone, but as is it's not so glad I only bought one to try it first. Also, why no Google Play version available??.Version: 4.7.1
✓ The my account page just spinsNo way to login to digital subscription. The app’s help has more to do with content creation rather than using the magazine. The digital subscription is clearly an afterthought with no thought of maintaining the application..Version: 4.2.7
✓ Restore iTunes Purchases Doesn’t WorkLost access to current issues and library. Restore iTunes Purchases doesn’t work. App developer support only able to address by providing account to sign in to app..Version: 10.0.1
✓ Not included with print subscriptionThis seems to be the current trend, but I hate that I don't have access to the digital version automatically when I'm a print subscriber..Version: 2.5.8
✓ Useless for print subscribersThey want to charge you twice for the same content..Version: 2.5.8
✓ Not included with print subscription :(I am a huge fan of Imbibe magazine but I am very disappointed in this app. I have already paid for a print subscription; why should I be made to pay again for the same content? I'm afraid I won't be using this app until this changes..Version: 2.5.8
✓ Huge DisappointmentFor some reason, my review didn't appear. I wrote the piece above because I realized I didn't touch on the content. My previous review dealt with the interface. Its just not good. They deleted all back issues from my library with the promise that they'll reappear in the future. Why not just wait until they're all online before switching over? Secondly, there is a new feature or section in the app called "Live" and it's got all this content that iPad/iPhone users can't access because it's Flash based. I guess since they created the app for the app store and iPads only account for 75% of the market, they thought… I can't imagine why they went to the trouble to do it. Anyhow, I think it's a waste of money considering it's in addition to your print subscription. Just buy the magazine..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Double-charging needs resolutionHave been a satisfied print subscriber to Imbibe since the early issues. The double-charging for content here needs resolution. What a waste of what would be great digital content..Version: 2.5.8
✓ It really is that terribleWish I had seen all these reviews before I purchased a 2-year digital subscription. I’ve read the print edition for years and loved it, but this app is completely non-functional. It won’t even let me login. It won’t even say “incorrect password”... it just reloads the page without logging in. If I try other methods, such as entering my name and address, it says “account not found”, even though I HAVE AN EMAIL WITH A LINK TO MY DIGITAL SUBSCRIPTION. If I try to look up my account by using my account number, there aren’t even enough spaced to enter in all the numbers!! What a joke..Version: 4.2.4
✓ Forced to purchase?Love the magazine, but since the software update its now asking me to purchase this months magazine even though I have a current subscription. They have a couple of days to figure it out or I'm canceling my auto renew..Version: 4.5
✓ ImpracticalI'm a long time reader of imbibe magazine, and I've always been a fan of the content, but it is unfortunately very difficult to consume in this context. The app will only allow you to zoom in a small amount, making it all but impossible to read an article comfortably. If this was fixed, I'd happily give this app 5 stars..Version: 4.7
✓ Purchased digital subscription but still no access to magazinesI purchased a digital subscription on their website, but am unable to view any content after logging in. Called support and they told me to wait “until Thursday” for it to activate. Who ever heard of such a thing? Purchasing digital content that you don’t get immediate access to? Well, here we are a week and a half after I purchased a subscription, yet I still don’t have access to anything. I guess I got ripped off?.Version: 4.2.6
✓ No iOS8 supportGenerally I love imbibe. Been a reader for two years. I've liked the digital version. Now that I've upgraded to iOS 8 I can't seem to get it to work properly..Version: 4.7
✓ I want to love this app...This should be a favorite app, since I love magazines on my iPad and I love Imbibe. Unfortunately, the text is fuzzy when reading in landscape unless zoomed in, it almost looked as if the last bit of progressive rendering hasn't filled in. I'm also disappointed as a print subscriber not to have any options other than paying full price for the iPad edition..Version: 2.4.3
✓ LaughableI don't know if it's a limitation of the pixel mags format or a business decision by imbibe. But there is no excuse not to make the digital version free with a print subscription. I was given the print edition as a gift and downloaded the app, excited to try it out, only to find no option to link up my subscription, and no explanation in any of the support material or on Imbibe's website. Coming from years of happy reading of Wired in print and on tablets, this just seems archaic and capricious..Version: 2.5.8
✓ Poor ServiceI can't seem to figure out whether I can receive the digital subscription with a print subscription. Judging from the comments I am assuming I cannot. I tried to contact pixelmags about this issue and they couldn't have been less helpful or more rude..Version: 2.5.8
✓ No digital subscription with printSame as everyone else, I'm a print subscriber. I won't pay for a digital one, too..Version: 2.5.8
✓ Awful Login FeatureAt least I’m getting the printed version..Version: 4.2.6
✓ IOS 8 stability issuesLooks like a good magazine but usually crashes before I can read it on iPad. Works on iPhone, but you can't zoom so it's basically useless..Version: 4.7
✓ Poor digital Experience; Broken in iOS8I love the content, but reading images of print pages is a terrible experience. Also, I haven't been able to open the app on my iPad3 since iOS8..Version: 4.7
✓ Horrible won't work with iOS 8 on iPad retinaPlease fix this will work with iPhone 5s but not iPad retina. Terrible experience..Version: 4.7
✓ Awful appI love imbibe in terms of content but this app is AWFUL. And they don't give you the digital subscriptions you've paid for.....Version: 4.2.6
