Magzter: Magazines, Newspapers 17+

I am currently on a free trial of Magzter Gold and I like the UK magazines but what I don’t like is that they want to charge me for reading the American magazines which is crazy considering I live in the US. Also another thing I don’t like is that there are too many magazines that are of another language (different languages to be exact) and less of the English language magazines whether it’s UK or US version. Please change my mind and consider including the American magazines as part of your gold subscription? Otherwise I’ll just stick with Apple News + and purchase UK magazines a la carte.

Thank you for using a Magzter GOLD subscription and helping in the worldwide fight to save the environment and trees by going digital with your magazine reading. At present, Magzter GOLD gives you unlimited access to 5,000+ magazines and their back issues as well as premium articles which are mobile-friendly. We started off with about 2,000 magazines under our GOLD membership and have increased it to 5,000+ magazines. We continue to work with publishers across the globe to get them on board Magzter GOLD so that readers like yourself get to enjoy them all at the same price. Please email us at help@magzter.com with the list of magazines that you are missing out on so that we can go back to those publishers and try and get them on board as soon as possible. Once again, we thank you for choosing Magzter GOLD and look forward to hearing from you via email so that we can get you the magazines you are looking for soon.

While the interface works well on iPhone and iPad, the web interface is little clunky. Barring these missing features, I think this is a great value:
* no sync across devices - I have an iPhone as well as an iPad and if I read a magazine on one device, the app on other device should continue from where I left off.
* favorites organization is severely lacking - I have many magazines as favorite and I can only see magazines in the order I added them. There should be some way to sort/group items
* there is no visible download queue and the downloads stop when the app is in the background. I usually like to download few magazines before I leave for a trip but have to keep waiting for the downloads to finish. There is no easy way to know if the downloads have finished so I have to remember the last magazine I put in the queue and see if it is done

Thank you for taking the time to send us your suggestions on our app. We’ve passed on your suggestions to the development team and we’ll try to implement these features in the upcoming app release. Please email us at help@magzter.com if you have more suggestions or feedback, which will help us continuously improve our app. We look forward to having your continued support.

Advertises that they can give you 5,000 + magazines to read. The majority of them are useless. Most all credible magazines they list require you to buy a regular subscription to read. In some cases, the price you would pay through Magzter is more expensive than if you order directly from the publisher. What a scam. Been waiting 2 weeks to get back my promised payment.

UPDATE: See the developers boiler plate, lame response to my negative review. A marketing pitch but no answer to my complaints. After 10 emails over 2 weeks I still haven’t received my refund on the 7 day “trial” even though I cancelled the subscription the 2nd day. It’s a fraudulent scam and my credit card company is investigating. Run, don’t stop and buy this worthless piece of junk. The 2 founders are nothing but con artists and should be investigated for deceptive advertising and fraud. Apple needs to get their act together and remove losers apps like this from the store.
