Recoil Magazine for Negative User Reviews
✓ IOS8 killed the app.Since the IOS8 update, the application stopped working. All the editions need to be reloaded, but the app. crashes if you try to reload them. Please fix this....Version: 1.0.18
✓ Don't download until it's fixedI have to start with the fact that I absolutely love this magazine but after this update it makes me wonder if I should continue to get digital subscriptions from any app. I previously had a sub for two years with a previous magazine and when the magazine stopped all saved content was gone. Similar to this app. I had every issue from #1 to present. Download the update and all saved content was erased. Granted they are saying all back issues with eventually make it back to download but this update should have never been released in the first place..Version: 1.5
✓ Great publication but crappy app and app supportSave yourself the trouble and DO NOT subscribe via apple. Zino apps has made this app horribly buggy for years and I just lost all my mag issues for about the 6th time and I have no interest in dealing with Zino apps support again. Canceled subscription and requested refund. Recoil, you’d be making a great business decision if you’d go with a different app developer...you’re losing subscribers that don’t really want your content..Version: 3.3.0
✓ Good content poorly presentedI really like the magazine but their putting it on the iPad seems an afterthought. Crashes frequently, slow movement, and requires a lot of zooming in and out. What irritates me most is the low resolution of the gorgeous photos. They simply weren't made for the retina display of the new iPad. This is basically a PDF slapped together so they sell a few extra subscriptions digitally. They got my money this year but I'll not renew unless they start taking this medium seriously. There is just too much potential for them here..Version: 1.0
✓ TerribleI have had no trouble with this app until this year when I renewed my subscription. I can't download my back issues. In fact I can't find my older back issues. I love this magazine but am thinking of cancelling my subscription unless they fix the problems. Also why no phone numbers to talk to a human to help get the problems sorted out..Version: 1.5
✓ EhhIt's ok. Picture graphics are horrible. I'd just buy the paper version.Version: 1.3
✓ Missing issuesUnable to get current issue. Have a subscription through iTunes. App is garbage..Version: 3.4.4
✓ Extremely DisatifiedI have been a recoil magazine subscriber on iPhone several years. It seems like the app is always broken and I’m unable to access any content whatsoever. It consistently asks me to subscribe to become a member if I want access to view the digital magazines, however, I already am. When I try to re-pay and do it again in hopes of accessing any content it tells me I’m already a member and displays my next renewal date. However, I still cannot access any of the content whatsoever. I’ve tried to restore my subscription dozens of times and never works. This is beyond frustrating and it seems like there’s not a fix anywhere..Version: 4.0.2
✓ App is now terribleCan no longer view issues offline, which is huge for me. Has been this way for sometime..Version: 3.4.3
✓ Unable to download folio...ugh!I really do hope the app developers are working on a fix for the current issues. Really disappointing that I'm unable to access my paid subscription. I can probably assume that the recent Apple updates has contributed to these issues. Overall, the app creates a great reading experience for one of my favorite magazines without the messy stack of hardcopies scattered around my home..Version: 1.0.18
✓ I would give it zero stars if I could.. this upgrade screws youThe app removed previous purchases which either needs to be fixed or refunded... It also deleted all the concealment issues... They don't mention these problems until you upgrade you're app then they recommend you use the old app.... Do they understand how this works? There's no going back with Apple! In response to the reply... Yes... Thanks Captain Obvious... Of course I entered my iTunes info and restored the issues you decided to make available. My point is this... Did anyone from the company actually used the app before foisting it on the users? If so maybe you would have waited until ALL the purchased content was available. I don't pay to be your beta tester... Quick follow up... you should ask for your money back from the Cub Scout troop of Bayonne NJ, their web skills just ain’t cutting it... this version is just as F’d up as the previous. Really, you guys need to get serious....Version: 2.3
✓ App is usually brokenMost times when I try to use the app it will not reinstall my iTunes subscription. I just cancelled my subscription. Save your money and the frustration..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Iso8Was a good app along Offgrid. Fix the apps so we can enjoy the magazines.Version: 1.0.18
✓ Doesn't work in iOS 8Wait for the fix..Version: 1.0.18
✓ Great magazine not so great appFor approximately three months I've had this app and it was working fine I would automatically get my updates and there would be no issues but in the last two months the app has refused to update receiving the new issues furthermore I cannot even see my previous purchases once I load up the app and select on it there's no new information and all I get is a white screen I think this is a major issue that recoil needs to address.Version: 1.0.20
✓ Was great, but is now horribleI would not recommend buying this right now. The App keeps crashing and can't find a way to uninstall and reinstall. Frustrating and they automatically bill you for something you're not getting (bought the 1 year Subscription and it auto-renews). If the Developers are honest and credible - they'll issue an email to their Subscribers telling us it will be fixed in the next few days!!! What's up with this App?? DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UPDATE (Moved to 2 Stars instead of 1): Finally got it to work again for a couple of days by deleting my two Issues, then restoring my Purchases - then it locked up again until I repeated this. Oh well, at least it works for awhile. Next Question - "When is Issue #3 going to be available for those of us that purchased the 1 year Subscription??? It's been out at the Stores (Hard Copy Magazine) for over a week now ... I would hope/think that the DIGITAL Issue would be available to us first!!! What the Heck Recoil Magazine? Get it together - you have a great Publication, but your Credibility is being ruined by this!!!".Version: 1.0
✓ One month later, still failsOK, the app is handy to use... but restoring purchases from the earlier version still fails to deliver results. Apparently all the back issues have been re-coded for the new version, but that disconnect in service keeps them out of reach. At least I have an old iPad on the shelf to comfort me. Hint, sometimes one bad feature can be a deal breaker! They will get more stars after the next bug fix. Maybe it's not the app..Version: 1.5
✓ UpdatePlease update this app ! Recoil ??? Any info you can give us ? Thanks..Version: 1.0.27
✓ Good read, loaded with worthless adsI thought this app/magazine would be nice to take with me when traveling. Initial activation and getting first download is problematic. After several times deleting, downloading, refreshing purchases, and leaving it overnight, it finally rewarded me with the magazine. Readability and presentation are good. However, at the end of the magazine I found a advert of over 100 pages had been included in the download. This would not be too bad except that there is no way to delete the ad which I wasn't interested in, so be prepared for longer downloads and a lot of wasted storage on your device. I would have given this app/magazine 5 stars if there was a way to delete the ad and not be forced to download and waste storage..Version: 1.0.27
✓ Great Magazine but...I enjoy reading this magazine, always has good info. But the app needs some help. It either won’t up 100% or freezes up and then ask you to update the app. It also won’t buy/ download new issue of the magazine..Version: 3.3.0
✓ Mag is a 5, app is a ZEROLove the magazines and it’s great content, but the app absolute crap. Crashes constantly. When it does run many issue are blank. I can see the pages in the across the bottom but when I tap on one a blank page is all I get. Have worked with customer service over and over again. They do keep trying but the issue never is fully resolved. Latest issue is I can not see any of the content at all, it keep asking me to subscribe again. Fix was to log in direct and not use the iTunes connection. Works now but shouldn’t be this difficult. Even when it is working there still is banner ads asking you to subscribe even if you already do. Those got to go away!! Come guys you can do better..Version: 2.3
✓ Need more issuesGood magazine, but their needs to be more issues I get board of checking for more... Come On Recoil.Version: 1.3.2
✓ No Zoom/ Blurry pagesAt least in the other magazine Recoil produces, OffGrid, I can zoom and the pages are not blurry. For example in Recoil on page 36 of issue 9 I can't even read the reviews!! The words are to blurry and I can't zoom. Plus some pages don't even appear if you are not in landscape mode. But when you go into landscape mode you can't zoom so the words are to small and blurry!! Please fix because I did buy a subscription and will cancel if not fixed by next issue..Version: 1.4
✓ Great readGreat magazine with lots of good gear info. Not sure what people are talking about pictures look great..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Update still awful ...lost back issuesIn fairness they have responded but everything they have told me to do so far doesn't work. They keep telling me to use a log in I had for a different publication ...doesn't work. Current recoil log in ...doesn't work. The back issues are in the zinio app but it wants to charge me. I already paid for them. I have been told they would be ultimately put back in the recoil app and then told they wouldn't. So far no one has explained why they can't simply be put back in the recoil app. What I don't think they realize is much of the content is stuff you want to refer back to. Judging by all the one star ratings many others feel the same way..Version: 1.5
✓ Value FadingRecoil started with a bit of inconsistency, but improved slightly. Now, with the latest "Unavailable" listing of an issue just released, I'm disappointed. I'm beginning to question what value I'm getting compared to other e-zines that are more reliable and consistent. If Recoil wants to keep me as a subscriber and compete with other magazines they need to sack up and at least to deliver. Even better; deliver on clearly communicated schedule. Don't make us question you Recoil, make us echo how great you are..Version: 1.0.27
✓ Does not work, nothing downloads after subscription.After subscribing, nothing happens, latest edition does not download. Clicking subscribe just tells you are already subscribed. Thanks for nothing. Luckily it's a 30 day trial. Guess it's back to hard copy..Version: 1.5
✓ Poor UX, No Access or RefundsI bought a year subscription and cannot access my account or download a magazine..Version: 4.0.0
✓ DisappointingWhen I first found Recoil magazine I was amazed, I thought the industry finally had a great gun life style magazine. Those thoughts quickly diminished after reading an editors strange views, which I found to sound very anti second amendment. They have since tried to mend this mistake by publishing an article about the second amendment and how important it is.... This magazines editors and publisher don't share the same love for guns and the second amendment as us real Americans do. This is just another corporation trying to milk money out of us gun owners. I'll stick to the boring old NRA magazines, at least they share the same views I have..Version: 1.2
✓ ScamI paid for a years subscription and received 2 issues of the 6 i should have received annually. 2017 rolls around and two months in I was recharged for another year. They still owe me 4 issues and now they charge me for 6 additional issues. If you buy this app in the middle of the year or late in the year as i did you will only receive issues until the end of the year at which point you will be auto subscribed and charged for the next year. You will not receive a full 6 issues unless you buy in January. I asked for a refund in full. This magazine has been going down in quality the last year (read: 133 pages about designer wheels for cars, no joke this is in the most recent issue) and now they pull this on its consumer base. Many of my friends said don't support this company for various reasons, now i see why..Version: 1.0.27
✓ It's good, could be betterBig fan of the magazine. Picture quality on the app is bad. Handy to have it on your iPad. Print version is better, plus you get your free target..Version: 1.3
✓ Same as other usersGreat mag, terrible appl!!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ The update is disapointing.After the update I lost access to my older issues from my digital download subscription. I no longer have or know the email I used when originally signing up. Lost all the early issues. I was able to restore most of the issues since I converted to subscribing through iTunes. They are now asking me to pay for the special issues even though I had them before. Very disappointed in loosing all of the older issues..Version: 1.5
✓ Enjoy the magazine but the app is crapI used to be able to read the digital magazine whenever I wanted but now it takes forever to get the purchase restored. What did I do to have to restore my purchase every time I want to read the magazine? The answer of restore purchase and then wait 24 hours to read and is a copout from the developer. I've been trying to read the latest issue for over a week now. Do I come back everyday to try to read it? No as I have other things in life to do but when I want to read it it should not be a process to read the magazine. I'm at the point of wanting my money back for my subscription because of how crappy the app is performing for me.Version: 1.6
✓ UpdateI updated to the new iOS8, then opened my recoil magazine app to find that all the issues needed to be reloaded. When I tried to download, the app kept closing. Frustrating!! Please update the app!!.Version: 1.0.18
✓ Good Mag. Annoying AppApp asks me to download latest version every time I open it, but I have the latest version..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Can’t download my issuesI have paid for subscription, but I can’t download any issues.Version: 4.0.3
✓ Glitchy Garbage.App is still a hot pile of garbage. Great magazine, but not nearly worth the headache using the app to save money!! Just do yourself a favor and subscribe to the paper edition of the magazine. This just crashes repeatedly, and pages are slow to load (if they do at all). Rarely can get through 1 issue without it locking up then crashing..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Best material when the app worksApp.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Great magazine... HORRIBLE APPThis is an awesome magazine with great content and the price for a digital subscription is just right, but this app is absolutely horrible! Asks if you want to restore your content every single time you open the app. And so many times do I have to contact the publisher to reinstate my subscription because the app frequently stops downloading content and tells you you need to pay for an issue when it should be included in your subscription. Fix the app and I’d gladly change my one star review to a five..Version: 2.2
✓ Ok but getting betterI bought the one year subscription because I wanted to support a magazine that was about tactical gear, guns, and other cool things. Well a new magazine didn't come out for months. In this last publication they wrote about how they had a new editor. It seems like its getting more organized. They should have offered the back published magazines to those who bought a subscription. At this point I don't know if ill renew..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Poor image QualityWhen I first picked up Recoil in a bookstore, I was immediately enthralled with the vibrant design and image quality. When I found the ios app, I was excited to pick up the back issues for a fraction of the print edition price. While still a great magazine, I soon found that the magazine consists of fairly low-res scans of the print version (which is over-sized). If you zoom to 100% of the print version, you will be disgusted with pixelated ugliness instead of the beautiful detail you should have. Popular Science gets it right 100% of the time with sharp images, so I know its possible. Fix this issue and 5-stars, plus I would definitely subscribe, otherwise I may just stick with the print version (maybe....).Version: 1.3.1
✓ Horrible!After many attempts to "restore" my purchases and multiple charges showing up on my iTunes account for each "restore" I am contacting the company about refunds for all purchases. This is completely unacceptable from a company charging so much money and continuing to produce a written magazine that they charge upwards of $12 for each issue, that they cannot solve this problem and make sure everyone has the the access they have purchased. If I ran this company, I would be completely embarrassed at the negative reviews and would try my best to recover the few loyal subscribers left....Version: 1.6
