    Great Magazine, Not so great Redesign
    Loved loved loved the ability to read the magazine exactly like the print edition (but hyperlinked). This new design was not needed and severely detracts from the overall experience. Feel free to offer this as an option for those who want it, but please provide the classic experience for those who have enjoyed it that way for years. Show more

    Music gone again
    Have had this subscription for years. This is the third time I can no longer access the CD music. Please fix. Very frustrating and disappointing.

    Love BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE
    It’s arrival is always a cheering light in my day. Briefly forget the nation’s idiots.

    Love the coverage... music absent
    I used to subscribe to the print edition and loved it. Later when I found this app, I was thrilled and liked the ability to listen to the tracks digitally. That worked for the first editions. Then with the last two issues the digital music files from the CD are missing. I look forward to the tracks while I read the magazine. With no way to address this malfunction, I’m left wondering if I should cancel. Show more

    BBC Music
    Takes forever to download—much longer than before!

    Full of Info
    Great recommendations which lead to to an Apple Music listen and then a purchase of the cd if the the music is to my liking. Invaluable source.

    BBC Magazine
    It is a focal point of my month. I can’t wait to open the new edition. It brings me great joy.

    Terrible App and Even Worse Tech Support
    This app has gone from mediocre to terrible. Every time a new issue becomes available, the app ceases to function and crashes. I have to delete it and reinstall it to get it to work (which means I have to redownload all of the issues that were archived on my device). Given the fact that downloading an issue is a long and cumbersome process (much longer than any magazine app I use). I have reported this on several occasions to their customer support and have not had the courtesy of a reply or fix. Many times have I truly thought of canceling my subscription because of this. I would also give e them a D+ grade in readability. They need to move to article view capability, like Condé Nast publications use, rather than the outdated “pinch to enlarge an article” approach.

    I've been reading this magazine for many years and have always enjoyed it immensely. The app version is even more enjoyable.

    The world's BEST classical music magazine
    Beyond a huge universe of articles, reviews and links to audio snippets, the articles are really smart. They are not formulaic, the way some magazines can be and they assume the reader is intelligent and well informed. Best of all, we continue to discover true wonders in pretty much ever issue. Music and performers we never knew of, and yet are now among our favorites. Truly the best classical music magazine. Show more

    Comprehensive
    But too many supplementary email offferings. Once into a particular issue, though, you're home free.

    Nice digital music magazine
    Lots of well written classical music articles. A free CD's worth of music every month. You can't beat it.

    Unfortunately the so called digital cd is in the format of a sample cd. I.E. You play the first track, then after that is finished you have to manually play the next track. Unbelievable, useless format. I can't sit down and just play it especially if I'm in my car, on my iPa, I can't just play it on my Bluetooth and enjoy, unless they fix this I'm never buying another copy, I love the digital magazine, the CD is useless.

    Bug fix my...
    Their newest "bug fixes" made it impossible to open, while I'm still paying for issues I can't read.

    How Is This!!
    Got the app.. Might be missing something but have no clue where to find the magazine. Think I found it. But no clue whatsoever where the music is? How to get support. Extremely difficult app to navigate and I am good at that. Had to cancel since I have no clue how this app or magazine with the music works. Wasted some money on this. Too sad. Not User Friendly at all. It is called Customers... Make them happy and make it easy to use. Show more

    Good music deal
    As you essentially get a CD's worth of music with each issue, it's a good deal.

    BBC Mag is fantastic
    Great mag with extremely well written timely articles. Photos and reviews are fantastic as well.
  • CompSciGuy60, 10.02.2016
    Love it!
    Bought the paper version for years and love the online version even more. I only wish my musical knowledge was better so I could sometimes understand the articles a bit better. My fault, not the magazines. Show more

    Cannot access as a print subscriber
    For years now the support site has stated that "Unfortunately there is no free access to the digital editions as part of a print subscription. In the future we hope to offer this function so that you can upgrade your subscription to enjoy both editions." This app is useless to me until or unless they ever get this fixed in the U.S. Show more
