Unbelievable This app is incredibly bad, it’s impossible that someone gave it honest good reviews. Spend time fixing the issues and you will get honest good reviews!

I really like SOS. But this app doesn’t allow me to download any other issue but the one it displays. Furthermore, if I search for a article, it will not download that specific issue. Why?! Show more

The magazine itself is great. However the app is a pain to use. It never remembers where you left off reading if leaving the app for more than a minute, sending you back to the issue selection. And if you lose and regain connection it will bump you back to the beginning of whichever article you were reading. Even if you download the issue for offline use. Which is a pain because I like to read on the subway, which gains and loses connection every minute or so. Show more

As of December 2021, the app works well with a digital subscription from the website, and has easy to use navigation as well as a good representation of the look and feel of the magazine. I’m not sure why there are so many one-star reviews; I suspect people are rating the app before they pursue a solution with the developer, a common problem on the App Store. Show more

I am a digital subscriber. I can log in but it does not allow access to magazines. They still say $5.99..

I can’t even login and there’s no way to reset your password or find your username in the interface.

App Title says USA...In App says UK Logging in using credentials does not provide access to anything. Completely useless right now.

Can no longer read issues I own via my subscription through the app store, or download the latest issue. Even the subscribe and buy options are broken. Restore Purchases doesn’t work even though I have a sub through June... which I suppose I’ll cancel now. Show more

I was so excited to get the email today about the app’s recent overhaul, and I think they knocked it out of the park. Super happy with the ease of accessibility and overall look/feel on my iPhone. Definitely recommend! Show more

I have one issue dowloaded to my ipad Air. Just tried to update the app. My ios 11.3 is now not compatible. Good thing i checked before renewing.

this is a classic magazine and i am a longtime subscriber. but their recent app change is definitely bad. their tech platform is the worse and i am back to download pdfs via their website. hope they change their app soon Show more

Not impressed with this app. No pinch to zoom, no adjusting font size - and apparently it doesn’t store the issues for offline viewing. I do like how the articles are arranged vertically. I’d much rather have it as a pdf or maybe a Kindle or iBooks. The web version is better than the app many ways. [UPDATE]SOS must have read my review! They just made PDF versions available! With that in mind this app is pretty good as an alternative reading method. Show more

I used to be a Sound On Sound subscriber for over three years. When my old iPad died, I went out and got a new. I downloaded the Sound on Sound app four months ago to try and restore my purchases. I continuously get the message “Can’t connect to the iTunes Store” so I am unable to download my purchases. I contacted Sound on Sound and they gave me the runaround saying it was Apple’s fault and that I should subscribe directly to them through the app and not Apple (since Apple did away with Newsstand). I am not going to resubscribe until I can recover my old magazines! And if other users are complaining about downloaded issues disappearing with their direct subscription model, why would I or anyone else subscribe? Please fix the issue! Sound on Sound does not care about their loyal customers. Show more

I’ll echo another 1 star review on here: this app will download an issue, and then the next time you open it your downloads will be gone. You have to redownload the issue to continue reading...I’ve had to do this 3 or more times in a single day with the same magazine issue. Please fix this so I can enjoy a great magazine! Show more

I can't count the number of times I've sat down on a plane or subway (with no internet), opened up the SOS app, and had all of my downloaded issues gone without a trace. I am able to download them again, but not until I get somewhere with internet, defeating the purpose of having downloaded them for offline reading. Slightly less annoying is that the app does not keep track of where you left off reading. So if I close the app on page 40 of a particular issue, when I return I have to open the issue again and figure out where I left off. Please note that this is a review of the app, not the publication itself. If anything, it is a testament to the quality of the magazine that I am willing to put up with a sub-par app. Show more

Great content once you get past the app's flaws. Whether it's constantly being logged out or having your page lost from a useless bookmark feature, this app makes it difficult to use without frustration. Because of this, I don't believe I'll be renewing my subscription when it expires. Show more

They lose subscriptions, can't log in, no support. Expensive for the content once you finally get an issue. Cheaper and easier to buy all the gear and try it out yourself. Show more

Worked great until December 2016, when they tried to rewrite it. Now, every login attempt on every screen generates error messages, I never received the last few issues on my subscription, and I've received no spontaneous communication from the subscription department. I've subscribed to Sound on Sound (my favorite mag) for over 9 years and I'm afraid to resubscribe, since I don't know when I'll be allowed to read it. VERY disappointed customer!! Show more

I let my subscription lapse for a couple months. I resubscribed and nothing new showed up in my cue. I updated the app hoping that would jog it back to life and it erased 2 years of downloaded issues and I can't log in. Kind of a sucky morning. Show more

I loved loved LOVED this app before the upgrade. My gripe originally was the removal of all prior purchased issues (though they are slowly bringing those back, thankfully!). Now, the screen just goes completely white when scrolling thru the pages of whatever issue I'm reading, rendering the app pretty useless. Please fix this!!! Show more
