Threads Magazine for Negative User Reviews
✓ Update is terrible.I love having to scroll thru 194 issues to find the 15 I own..Version: 13.1.2
✓ Mixed bagThe technical content of the magazine is excellent. If I get stuck in a project I can always go to the archives and find several relevant articles that are clear, concise and solve the problem. I am frustrated a little by a lack of more contemporary style in the articles. The app is okay. It crashes every so often but seems to re-open without issue. The sparkle effect when going from page to page is annoying but not a deal breaker. No matter what network I am connected to it seems to take forever to load a new issue. It would also be nice not have to scroll through all the magazines I don't subscribe to when going back to prior issues..Version: 6.2.5
✓ Love the Magazine, but not the AppOften doesn’t work on my iPad. I have to reinstall to get it to work again..Version: 18.1.6
✓ App Doesn’t Work!Cannot download the issues. Lost all access to previous issues. Have to login everytime si ce app doesn’t reconize me..... Very frustrating.Version: 18.7.3
✓ Great magazine, appalling appI am so sick of this app. In trying to make it super helpful, with lots of hyperlinks, they’ve made really skittish. It takes ages to download, frequently wants to be updated, and frequently needs to be restored. In addition, the earliest magazines won’t restore so either I have to skip them or repurchase them (because neither iTunes nor Threads were helpful in sorting out this problem)..Version: 20.2.11
✓ App is terrible.This app needs a serious review. Trying to use it on my iPad and it’s awful. There is a thumbnail in the middle of the screen. No portrait view or if there is I can’t get it. It’s almost unreadable. Also no help. Sorry guys it’s rubbish please update..Version: 14.1.2
✓ Revise your app.With technology today there is no excuse for this app to have so many issues. This is my second year and very last time I will subscribe to this magazine. The app never works, can never access magazines I have paid for, can’t even get logged in. Very disappointing as this is my favourite sewing magazine..Version: 21.0.5
✓ Love the magazine, worried about the appLike everyone else, I am concerned about losing all my content if the app is not updated. But the magazine is possibly the best sewing magazine out there, and I love reading it on my iPad. Wonderful pics, great technique tutorials done by master sewers. So 5 stars for the magazine, 2 stars for lack of update..Version: 6.2.8
✓ Can't find any free issue.And everything you click the app thinks you want to buy what's on the screen. Plus, hasn't been updated in a while, app is clunky. Pretty sure it'd be cheaper to just buy the physical magazines. $7.99 for a digital copy is ridiculous..Version: 6.2.8
✓ So many bugsYou have to redownload magazines EVERY SINGLE TIME you open the app. Gets old.Version: 20.1.8
✓ ThreadsI'm having those same issues with the new version of threads. Subscribed but it only bought one issue, cannot access my old issues after upgrading my iPad... I loved the old version of the app, please bring it back. I'm deleting this one!.Version: 6.2.8
✓ Really disappointedApp will not install . Have asked for a refund for on line subscription..Version: 13.1.2
✓ Doesn’t work on my IPad.I have downloaded it several times but it doesn’t work..Version: 20.2.11
✓ Why is it listed as Free when it isn't?Why is it listed as Free when it isn't?.Version: 6.0.10
✓ It a Great Resource!I love having the ability to read my magazine on my iPad while waiting for appointments..Version: 19.3.3
✓ Terrible appFirst of all, it is very unclear what is included in the price, issues appear and disappear. I can’t even download the current issue. Special features are only on the website, which you have to log in to, and cost extra. Very confusing, awkward app. Buy the magazine if you are interested in this content or try Seamwork Magazine to see how a modern version of sewing is handled..Version: 14.1.2
✓ Doesn’t recognize loginI’m a paid Threads Insider but the app doesn’t recognize my email/password. Triple checked and I can login online just fine. App is pointless and disappointing. Customer service wouldn’t help, just kept resetting my password even though I told them that wasn’t the issue..Version: 22.1.0
✓ If it's your only option...Then guess it's worth the money. However, even though I regularly read books on my iPhone Kindle, and I read the New York Times from the newsstand, I find it difficult to navigate the magazine on my phone. By the time I make it big enough to read I lose the flow of where I am in the magazine. However because the iPad screen is much larger I don't have this problem on the iPad. There it is an excellent way to check out the magazine..Version: 6.0.10
✓ Does not retain downloaded data or downloadStupid app does not retain any downloaded data or login info between uses. Archive function is useless. Ridiculous!.Version: 18.1.6
✓ Can’t see all issues purchasedI got a new iPad a couple of months ago. Only the last 3 issues have restored. I’ve contacted Taunton for help and they haven’t helped at all. They’re telling me to contact Apple. No one at Apple to contact - this is an app issue, not an Apple issue. I’m about to cancel my subscription. Why am I continuing to pay if I’m not getting what I paid for?.Version: 20.1.8
✓ Not freeThe description needs to be amended to show this is a pay for app, as all mags are subscription only - no free mag is available (as implied in the original description). Not cool at all and have uninstalled..Version: 16.1.1
✓ Unable to download issuesI am unable to download issues I’ve paid for. The download won’t go past 93%..Version: 18.1.6
✓ This app keeps failingYou would think that a company of this size would get their app updates to work. Every time a new issue to posted I have to call in and speak to multiple people to get my access issues resolved. Last time it took 3+ weeks and I am still trying to resolve the current access issue..Version: 21.0.5
✓ Cannot access digital issuesI recently subscribed, but am unable to even log into the app. Customer service is not responsive. I called and was told my subscription doesn’t include digital access, though my purchase confirmation clearly says that it does. So, I guess I’m just deleting this app..Version: 20.2.11
✓ ThreadsAbsolute waste of money I have tried to download my magazines and it just keeps freezing I have contacted them and still no reply after a week what a waste.Version: 6.1.2
✓ App crashes and won’t openApp will not open even though I have bought and paid for it - just get a blank screen on my iPad.Version: 6.2.5
✓ Threads app disappointsI've waited eagerly for the iPad version of a magazine I've subscribed to for decades but in short, the app does not work. Can't download magazines, can't get into the settings to reinstall my subscription and password, get repeated error messages that the subscription does not exist. And it's been going on for months. Why can't Taunton Press get this right?.Version: 6.2.8
✓ I used to love this appBut now all of my issues are asking for payment although I have a subscription and had already downloaded my issues. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Now unable to verify subscription because the button in the app does not work. Please fix this. Even when it is fixed, I will have to spend time and data to download my issues again. Very disappointed..Version: 6.2.8
✓ Can’t access archive magazinesI am a Threads insider member and paid $59 for that. However this app does not allow me to access the archive magazines as promised for the insider membership. I have logged in but it just doesn’t deliver..Version: 18.7.7
✓ Very frustratingTakes ages to download, even with a fast connection speed and constantly crashes! It's the 3rd time I've deleted my account and started over. It could be a great online magazine, full of interesting articles, but they really need to sort out their Internet issues! Disabloodypointing!!!.Version: 6.2.5
✓ PLEASE UPDATEI've received a message that this app is going to cause my iPad to slow down because it has not been updated for the current version of IOS. Please UPDATE. I'll change my rating once complete. I love having Threads on my IPad but not if it's going to start slowing the iPad down.Version: 6.2.8
✓ When it works...When this app works it is ok. I have to keep a print label around because every time I want to read the digital version it asks me to verify my subscription! EVERY TIME! This is quiet possibly the most unreliable app I have ever used..Version: 6.2.4
✓ Great customer serviceAfter multiple problems with my app not loading, and chat not working..... and having to delete and reload..then got charged again for the same issue.... then the link for customer service would not load..so could not get help.....&had to find their email address on line (it should be available in the app!) finally got through to customer service and they straightened out the over charge now if they can just get the app to work the way it should.....Version: 6.2.8
✓ Update?Just got the new IPad Pro! So sad this app has not been updated. If it can't run on the soon to be released new iOS version, I will cancel my subscription. 3 stars because the app is fine on old iPads..Version: 6.2.8
✓ Can't get in, doesn't workThe app needs a 12 digit subscription number. My number isn't 12 digits and doesn't recognize my number. When I tried contacting the support team through the app, it wouldn't go through. Tried several times throughout the day to resolve. Nothing worked. I just deleted it. Wasted my time and only got me frustrated. Im not coming back to try this again. So disappointing..Version: 6.2.8
✓ No way to subscribeI love the magazine, but there is no way to subscribe. The help center says you should be able to subscribe using the button to the left of the question mark, but that button only takes me to an area where I can connect to Facebook or Twitter or where I can manage a print subscription or connect a Threads Insider account. Nothing about an actual digital subscription. I had this option a few updates ago, but no longer. An email to the help center just reiterated the same info and they tried to sell me on the Threads Insider membership..Version: 6.2.8
✓ I hate this appI really hate the sparkle things that are all over the place that open up advertisements when you touch them. I have to try not to touch any of them when I am reading the magazine and there are a lot of them. It's shouldn't be so annoying reading a magazine! Why can you just send the magazine out as a pdf like everyone else? I love the magazine. I hate the app! And I prefer the digital version so this is a problem for me. This is my first time subscribing and I doubt I'll resubscribe if this app is still in use when my time is up..Version: 14.1.2
✓ Works okIt took about a day to recognize me as a customer. Will work on a PC if Bluestacks is installed..Version: 14.1.2
✓ Issues were removedI thought I had purchased these issues to keep. Turns out half of them disappeared and they offered them to me to “buy”. When I complained to Threads it took them weeks to look into it then finally they said it was a problem from Apple, not them. Now, a few weeks later I have no access to anything. It won’t let me sign in or restore purchases. You’re probably better off getting your digital access directly from Taunton but I don’t know if I’d trust that either..Version: 14.1.2
✓ Don't botherI purchased an annual subscription but have not been able to view any of the magazines. Threads contact details don't work and iTunes have not responded to any of my e-mails. I am annoyed and feel scammed. I would treat all such apps with caution. They don't deserve 1 star but it won't allow me to give a no star rating..Version: 6.2.8
✓ This app needs fixingI’m in the process of downloading it and it just won’t finish.Version: 14.1.2
✓ Not consistentI bought an online subscription and downloaded the app to my iPad and iPhone. So far the new issues are being delivered as expected/I can access them and download. But whereas I was a me to purchase other available issues for the first few months after download, I am now getting messages that say I am not authorized to purchase or that function has been disabled! I've tried to send an email to report this and that repeatedly fails also. Help!.Version: 6.2.8
✓ Magazine is wonderful.... App is problematic!The Threads magazine is wonderful! Highly recommend for content and layout. But, the app has proven to be a problem, at least for me! With my online subscription, I was able to download issues in the past, although it was not a fast download, at least it would eventually download. But, I have been trying to download the last three issues, with no luck. I get started downloading it, but it always cycles out before I gets complete... A couple of times I got 99 percent downloaded, but then it went back to 0 percent and started the process all over, and I still have not gotten the three most recent issues downloaded. I have sent in requests for help through the app help center... but no response at all! Disappointing....Version: 6.2.4
